q Sacrifice

The First ward of our city is par
ticularly fortunate in having such
man Us r. N. Allen consent to fill the
office Of councilman.
1t is a great sacrifice to Mr.. Allen,
with all his business interests, to
spare the time necessary to look after
the business of the city; yet he is will
ling to do it, with no selfish purpose in
view-simply for the best interests OF
the city-and he should be elected
without opposition. 1t is not neces-
sary to say that he is one Of the Keen
est and most successful business men
In the city. His record as business
man is we'll known. Honest, moral
and upright in all business transac-
tions, he has no apologies to make.
Certain interested parties have been
trying to make it appear that Mr.. AL
len was interested in certain iran
chise granted to Mr.. Hurt some time
last year. Mr.. Hurt asserts most posi-
lively that Mr.. Allen never had any
interest, either immediate or remote,
direct or indirect, in said franchise,
and never saw the ordinance granting
same until introduced by another
member of the council. Mr.. Allen
confirms Mr.. Hurts statement in that
regard and adds that he has always
declined to be personally interested,
directly or remotely, in any franchise
asked of the city while he was mem
Der of the council.
Mr.. Allen took the lead in the coun-
Gil in urging the voting of the gas
bonds. and by the votes of the people
his course has been abundantly sus-
tanned, his ward having voted there.
for unanimously at the late bond cleo.
ton.
In all public enterprises Of the city
Mr.. Allen is expected to lead with his
money aud his time, and has ever
been found generous and public spirit
ed in such matters.
1t seems from the stand Mr.. Allen
took on the gas bonds and the efforts
he put forth to give the city cheaper
fuel, every member Of the local gas
company feels calle1 upon to fight
him. And It might be we'll for the
voters in tn Frst ward to trace this
opposition and see from what source
it comes and what the motives are
1t would be somewhat of calamity
at this time for this local gas company
to get control of the council.
On the druggist tax proposition Mr
Aliens course was consistent all the
way through. He opposed the ordi
nance on the grounds that il the drug
gists were doing legitimate business
they should not be subject to dis
eliminating tax; If they were doing al
Legitimate business they should b.
suppressed. The council finally say
the wisdom of his stand and revoked
the ordinance.
A vote for R. N. Allen means vot'
for greater and better city, for
city run on business principles, ant
not controlled and dominated by
strong corporation with cut-throa
franchise on the city.

THE QUANTITATIvE POWER OF
MONEY.

Prosperity depends upon the reward
OF production. If producers produced
only those things which they consume,
prosperity would depend upon rsdus-
ton itself. But under our complex
system everything is exchanged,
through the medium VI money, hence
prosperity depends upon the reward
of production, or the value OF products
in exchange; OF. stated in ita simplest
form, upon the price ofpsOducss. The
common reply to this is, that, price is
immateriAl, as rising or falling prices
are cOmpensAtors, and il the producer
receives lower price ne can buy
cOrrespondingly larger ammOunt, and
vice versa, While this statement ID
apparently true. there are two fallaciss
concealed in 1t which entirely destroy
s!s yslue: Unfortunately our whole
economic system is based upon credit.
Debt 10 universal. Debts are nominal
ly k1ed in dollars. The value 10 e1-
change Of dollars is determined by
prices. While Q certain number OF
legal tender dollars will always lqui-
date any debt expressed in that nuH-
Der, the Amonnt Of sacrifice and
labor needed in exchange to obtain the
dollars increased by higher prices. So,
in country in which debt is the UNI
VOrsal condition, prices. instead OF be-
ing immaterial and compensatory, srs
the vital factor in determining pros
perity.

President Wilson took as his subject
the increasing difficulties OF Demo

oped and are developing in the ez-
perisnce Of the American people. The
development since the days Of the ad-
option Of the federal constitution and
the changes in conditions that have
come with the growth Of the country.
were pointed out, these changed con-
ditions being new problems that must
bs met, and the duties Of the legal
profession, acting through the great
Independent branch Of the government
the federal judiciary, and also dominat-
ing; to 0 great extent. the other two
coordinate branches Of tho govern
% snt, were pointed out.
Mr.. Wilson led up to the question
OF industrial monopolies. The diG-
eYsncs in conditions, he thought,
would bring the supreme test y organic
law, and under such circumstances the
part Of the legal fraternity in diving
the problems would be most important

Mr. Mckinley did not pretend to be

Republican confidence in the rselsc.

enter the campaign with the greater
the greater the Democratic chances to
