Lam the royal standard of the Stuaits in the
very heart of the old mother of states. These
enthusiasts, who take themselves very seriously,
glory in the name of the "Aryan Order of St.

They claim that H. R. H. Robert, Duke of
Cornwall and oldest son of Mary, Queen of
Bavaria, who was recently married to H. H.
Princess Marie Gabrielle, of Bavaria, is the
rightful heir to the American throne.
Ii may be surprise to learn that there are
enough Americans with monarchcal beliefs to
warrant the publication of magazine called
the Royal Standard, the first number of which
has jus: been issued in this city.
r. gardng the Duke of Cornwall, the Royal
Standard says "Anericans, having no reason
for any sentiments but those of gratitude and
loyalty to the memory of the house of Stuart,
under which they enjoyed the liberty which the
intruded dynasty sought to take from them,
should be able to unite in congratulations to
the good prince who would be, to-day their

| The local association was school ot
education in the methods of business.
First of all, sociability resulted 10
friendship and fraternity, the bene'
fetal influence of which could not be
accurately computed. The state as
sociation, if it's mem bers kept abreast
with the times. had a great future be-
fore it and would be factor in legis-
ton. But the effectiveness and pres
tige of the state organization must be
represented in the local associate ms.
Benefits of Organization.
Through organization and by the
cooperation of the retail merchants it
was possible to get at a proper rating
| of customers, to whom merchants
trusted their capital. Through or
ganization it was possible to get
legislation in the different city coun-
ellis to control and to limit the short
sighted policy of city governments
which, for a trivial sum, allowed
transient peddlers and hawkers to
fill the town with installment pay
ment goods at big prices. Through
organization it was also possible to
arrive at better ad crtising methods,
etc. As suggestions for the present
year President Scherer offered the
following:
/. To adopt plans and means to
further sustain the Case garnishee
law.
,. To appoint delegates to the In
ternational Congress OF Grocers in
Paris, 1900.
3. To practically cooperate in the
passage of an equitable national pure
food law.
1. To oppose the passage of the
parcel post bill section relating to the
reduction on merchandise.
;. TO adopt plans for the amend
ment of the bankrupt law.
g. ToioPPose trusts and monopo-
lies.
=. To assist the passage of bill
upon misrepresentation in the ad-
vertis cment in the sale of merchan-
disc.
s. To practically assist in the
of our official hand book.
TO build up our local associa-
tions and to organize the to 1ns and
cities Of our state.
