Saws one of our exchanges: sDon't
curse the blamed trusts and then the
minute you get ten dollars aheaL send
an order to Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck s. Co., and help support
one ofthe biggest trusts in the country
| What II you do get your goods q
trifie cheaper-.hat is what the trusts
DO. They crush out competition by
their contention. Every dollar zen,
to mail order houses Is just that much
toward building up trusts. Mont
gomery Ward is not philanthropis,
in any sense of the word. He Is u
shrewd business man, who by judici-
GUS advertising. has built up a trust
that bids fair to wreck q majority o,
the small towns. II you desire this,
send them your cash and get credit Al
il your home merchants and denOunce
the trusts. Let your actions speak
for you, and preach what you prac
tice.''

through mails from Europe across tn.
continent to Asia, are sent by the GOV.
ernment over the Burlington. This
service is performed tn special trains.
but there is no written contract for
the service with the government.
It simply has selected and retains
what it considers the best, qutckes'
I and safest route for It's transcontinent-
al mails; nor is any subsidy paid
The Burlington receives only the same
rates in force by general law for the
carriage OF all mails in the country.
In a recent debate in the house ot
representatives at Washington, upon
the question Of paying a subsidy to a
line of railroad between New York
and New Orleans, for keeping up a
fast mail service in the South. Mr.
Loud of California; chairman of the
committee on postoffices postroads, IL
giving his reasons for voting against
this subsidy to the southern railroad

are proper, you should not restric
them. If there is any railroad in the
country that earns extra compensa
ton from the government, that rail
road is the Chicago, Burlington 8
