CAN'T BEAT "HELLO GIRL"
Efforts OF Al Young EIan to Avoid Pay
nent OF "a Dime.

"I have found q way 20 beat the tele-
phone company out of dime" The speak
er was one Of those young men who arc
abundantly able TO pay all charges, but
who imagine II n proper thing to get
the best OF every ono, aud lac was address
ing Chicago Post reporter According
D. their ethics, chcCtinYthc telephone com
pany cut OF "A dino IS "a worthy thing TO do.
"Go into % drug store, ring up central

Tho young Ian to whom this informa-
ton was imIartcd wanted 80 chat with
the cash'er Stl I'm a restaurant along in
the qulct afternoon hour, and he went In
TO drug store. There was a very attrac-
tive cashier girl hcrc Glso. The young man
noted the telephone was No. Al, ll4 Main,
and he rang TN central and took down the
transmittCr.
A moment OF silence

He was littlc nervous about It, He

There wcs another moment OF silence.
Then tho Girl az central sald:
why, You are 4l,l54. Why don't you
call up 7,1l7 II you want thcmy"
And right there the big scheme for beat

Furthermore, tho young man, being con-
fused, imagined that cashier girl bohind
him had heard all he had said over the tele-
phone, and lao turned around much con-
fused. The cashier was smiling wisely,
but not looking at him lie started 20
walk out with what dignity he could re-

A pREposrERoUs PROPOSITION.

n GkEf'OSTEhOCS fkOi'OSfTION.
Suppose tho Democratic convention
at Chicago had put into it's platform a
plank like this:
"We hold that the wages and salaries
paid to the people are too high and affirm
our opinion that they should be cut down
one-hslf."
Would any body in his senses vote for a
Presidential candidate that went before
the country on such a PLATFORM
Yet tnat is the essence of tho Chicago
financial declaration.
Only it is put the other way. 1t de-
clares in effect that prices are too low
and because the government would be
unable TO legislate what value should be
placed ON commodities or to pass a law
that all employers OF labor should make a
horizontal reduction OF fifty per cent. in
the salaries and wages paid their en-
ployes, 1t proposes that fifty cent dol
lars be substituted for wages instead of
100 cent dollars.
1t is preposterous proposition.
