Some idea of the immense stock carried by
the firm can be formed when il is known
they carry on 1t insurance amounting to
S75O,000, and upwards. There are 100
men on the pay rolls in the wholesale de-
partment, and with those in the retail
house, the monthly salary list aggregates
$40, 200. The house needs no notice as to
Its libcrality both TO its employees and to
the public, for that is provorbial.

LABOR.

The Reading Strike Still on-Strike at
Pittsburg Imminent.
PnILADILPHIA, Pa, Jan. 2.-Therc is no
material change apparent in the Reading
railroad strike here today. The Knights
of Labor who left the company's employ
are still in a state of mastery inactivity,
while the company's officials say they ok
pericnce no difficulty in securing all lh,o
men needed for the proper handling OF the
business. The day being holiday, the
Quietness prevailing at the several shipping
points here is attributed TO that fact, but
the knights claim that great number of
their fraternity have retired from the
service of the company, and that the effect
will be shown tomorrow when the com
panys shipping business will be regularly
resumed

Upon what does Il saloon feed !? II
feeds upon the weaknesses .and vices
of men. Ii creates these conditions
aud habits. What a monster il j.!
In the last issue of the Statesman
are the following questions aud thciI
answers.
Q, Do Prohibitionists oppose the
medical Use of alcohol?
4. No In all our platforms care
is taken to specify ''alcoholic liquors
as q bcrerdgc." Yet there is Il grow
iug conviction that the medical use
can be dispersed with, and ut the hos
pital at Chicago, when patients are
treated without alcohol, together
with other scientific evidence on the
subject is leading many individuals to
cScllcw its use altogether.
q. Does not the enforcement OF
Prohibition involve a resort to un-
worthy and understandable measures,
as search of premises, secret spies etc?
a. The measures now employed tor
the execution of the tariff laws are
stronger and more Objectionable in
every way than any which have ever
been employed tor the enforcement of
Prohibition.

A wise and learned man, in speak.
ing of Il great social evil, said, "lf il
cannot be stopped, we must make it
seek cover" Public morals are GER
tainly very low and public sentiment
very much debauchcd when any com
munity OF town will allow Il few indi-
viduls to tlaunt their crimes into the
very faces of the people. Mass meet
ing are sometimes held to consider f.
nancial question. One was held a
short time ago to protest against the
passage OF a certain bill by our Lcgis-
laturc. Why not hold n mass meeting
to cry down certain sins which are
powerful allies of the saloon in debas-
ing the manhood of this country. In
this mass meeting, inform the gentle
mau who arc insulting society that
they must desist or be prosecuted in
the Courts, If some things go.on the
future rs they have done in the past
il is feared Judge Lynch will put in his
appearance. Then in fact will the way
of the trcnsgrcssor be hard.

Weak men who do not know,

cs. The qualifying words nre intro
duccd because real business does not
include products that are harmful or
exchanges that are without equiva-

ciations would be manufacturing, and
gambling would be a trade. AS well

to call the liquor tra0iv business. The
liquor traffic is a storm center in tinan.

We seem to live in a period of contra

enterprise in all directions. The
world was never se busy, never work
cd so hard or so efficiently, never earn.
ed so much. Labor never earned so
good wages, wages could never buy
so much of the really good things OF
life as now. Yet suffering increases,
and so do the discomfort and anger
that follow suffering and precede II.

One day during court, a group of
men, numbering fifteen or twenty,
were seen coming into town, when a
gentleman remarked. "yondcr comes
the brandy.peach brigade" Upon in
quiry. asccrtained that quite a num-
Der of men had been indicted by the
Grand jury for selling braudy-pcach-
es, brandy cherries etc. 1t appears
that the practice has prevailed gener-
ally yer the county, there being a.
bout twenty-scven indictments, and
the Grand Jury stated they could have
found many other, but thought that it
would meet all the ends of Justice to
present but one bill against each often
der. The majority OF the indicted
men came into open court, plead gull
~, and were fined each 1925 and cost.
They stated that in the future they
would abstain from the sale of such
things. and did no: know that they
were violating the law in selling them.
This was probably the best course to
be pursued, as it is believed that o
great evil is eflectually rcmedied by
all persons that the sale of such goods
is an indictable o%ilense. and the warn.
ing Of the Judge that hereafter all Vi
olators OF the law, if convicted, will
get the full penalty of the law.
