Howl! You howlers! Curse the
trusts and the minute you get ten
dollars head send in an order to
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
etc and help support one of the
biggest trusts in the country. What
if you do get your goods little
cheaper-that is what the trusts
claim to do. They crush out COM
petition by their low prices and if
you take the benefit you simply sus-
tain them in their contention Every
dollar sent to mail house is just
that much towards building up a
trust. Montgomery Ward is not a
philanthropist in any sense of the
word. He is shrewd business man
who by judicious advertising has
built up trust that bids fair to
wreck the majority of small towns.
If you desire this, send them your
cash and get credit at your home
merchants and denounce the trusts.
Let your actions speak for you and
practice what you preach. -Atchin-

Immense Sums Received by Industrial
BarOns.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP SUGGESTED
AS Means Of Escaping Appalling Tribute In
Some Lines.

In discussing the question Of salar
les, w. R. Hearst, in his Chicago
American, says:
There is proposal pending to in
crease the salaries OF the justice OF
the United States supreme court by
so per cent. The chief justice, who
now receivesN $40, 500 a year, is to
get $15, 500, and the associates are
to receive $15, 500 instead of $40, 900.
The salaries of the circuit judges are
also to be increased from $6, 900 to
5000, and those of the district
judges from s5, 900 to $500.
United States judges are usually
able men. At least it is impossible
for them to be absolute idiots. They
have to deal with the most important
subjects that can come before the
American people. 1t is thought that
the best brains of the nation can be
obtained for this work for salaries
of from 81, 500 to $40, 500, and this
exception is justified by the fact
that we are already obtaining such
brains for salaries so per cent small
er, and have had them in the past
for salaries smaller still.
We paid the late Cornelius Wand
erbllt over 81, 100000 year for
owning certain railroad stocks, and
are paying his young son, just out
of college, about 81, 200, 900 year
for the same service. This is more than
the combined salaries of the president
and vice. president of the United
States, all the members of the cabinet
all the judges of the supreme court
all the judges of the other United
!, States courts, the lieutenant generals
major generals and brigadier gen
erals, of the regular army, the admiral
and all the rear admirals of the navy,
and the governors of all the states
and territories. 1t seems hardly pro-
bable that one inoffensive youth, just
