I'VE denounce the attempt to engraff
militarism and autocracy as part OF our

TRUSTS are the offspring OF the vicious
money and aariff systems imposed upon
the country by the republican party; their
sole object Is TO concentrate the BULK OF
National wealth in the hands OF few,

who produce the wealth, are being reduced
to Industrial and political seridom; and
we demand that any article the production
and price of which is controlled by COM

LONDON, Nov. S.-Despite the
rumors to the contrary there is not the
sligh probability that the present
excitement in London over the war in
South Africa will in any way affect or
change the plans for tomorrow's cele-
bration of Lord Mayors day.
The intelligent public has long look
ed upon the celebration as an idle and
meaningless show, but at the same
time it is custom firmly imbedded In
the hearts of Londoners by the tradt-
tion of ages.s

Says That Ell pdsO is the Busiest
Town i'm the West and a Man
Should by All Means Locate

E. Bavington, head of the engi-
neering department of Fairbanks
Morse and company, of st. Louis, is in
the city after 3 most successful trip
through the ranch country of Texas in
the interest of his firm. Mr.. Baving-
ton left San Angelo nearly three
weeks ago and drove over seven hun
dred miles in q buggy to Maria and
then came by train to FL Paso, where
he will spend few days before return
ing to ST. Louis.
HERALD representative said that he
never saw times so prosperous at this
season of the year.
''All through Texas" he said, 'the
farmers are reaping rich harvest and
they are greatly encouraged.
Il found that I had to stop taking
orders for gasoline engines because
knew that the factory could not turn
them out. This spring alone we refus-
ed ordsrs for over two thousand en-
gines, because we knew our
plant could not supply the
demand. At our engine plant we
employ nearly four thousand men and
since September have averaged over
four hundred engines month. Still
we can't fill our orders. 1t is the same
in all our departments. Piping is al
most at premium and it simply can't
be had. In Dallas l found a number of
concerns that were selling piping at
the same price that it could be gotten
for at the factory, but these men will
not me out on top because, when their
supply is gone they will not be able to
stock up again. One large house that
we sell to in Texas will realize over
sixty thousand dollars on their piping
this year, because their order was
placed in last Decemb Der.
SIN our. scales department the de-
nand is equally as great. We now hold
ihe exclusive patents on scales in every
country in the world save
rmspy and we lost them their
through technicality in the law.
