Too Much Gold.
“Don't say 'high cost of living;' my,
rather, the cause for high prices. One
great contributing cause is th* enor
mous increase in the production and
supply of gold during the past eigh
teen years. There is motp* gold now
i than ever before in the history of our
country. The greater the supply of
gold the higher the prices, and so the
greater the cost of living.”
“Do you believe that th* present
tariff, or the tariff presented by the
Democrats, has affected or will affect
the high cost of living?"
; “A lower tariff on the necessities of
life should bring about reduced prices
to the consumer; but, nut being
i a riff expert. 1 do not pretend to kn<
just what effect the present Under
wood Tariff bill will have. It should
bring about reduced prices, but not
all at once. You can not expect too
much of such legislation. It must
be given a fair trial. Taka sugar in
Louisiana. I believe that if the peo

"Don’t think that the Department

of all concerned, is education along
the lines of better production and bet

the producer and the consumer The

THIS WEEK
“ARE YOU A MASON?" IS GOOD.
Miss Billy Long and company, at the

The play is a farce. For the past
three weeks the company has been han

for that reason the presentation of a
pure farce in so capable a manner was
a pleasant surprise.
The distinct surprise of the play was
the work of Bert Gardner, who Imper

LONDON, May 13.—Some long
missing verses of the New Testament
are included In manuscripts of the
Gospel discovered in Egypt mix years
ago and purchased by Charles i.
Freer, of Detroit, Mich., according
a study made of the Freer manu
scripts by The Times.
A facsimile of the writings has been
presented to the British Museum ov
the University of Michigan, to which
Mr. Freer assigned the task of publi
cation. and according to The Times’
study, there iiave been found in the
gospel of St. Mark several versus
which occur in no other known manu
script of the New Testament, although
they were known to St. Jerome, who
quotes part of them.
In the Freer manuscript, after the
passage in which it is said that Jesus
upbraided His disciples for their un
belief. the text continues as follows:
“And they excused themselves, say
Ing that this age of lawlessness and
unbelief is under Satan, who. through
the agency of unclean spirits, suffers
not the true power of God to be ap
prehended.
“Hor because, said they unto Christ,
reveal at once Thy righteousness.
“And Christ £aid unto them, Th*
limit of the years of the powers of
Satan is (not) fulfilled, but It dra \-
eth near. (The text here and else
where is corrupt.)
“For the sake of those that hav •
sinned was I given up unto death that
they may return unto the truth and
sin no more, but may inherit the spir
itual and incorruptible glory of right
eousness in heaven.”
A number X>f variations in other
portions of the New Testament are
also pointed out by The Times In the
