ARE YOU A CRANK

bn what you drink? Do you dearly relish a cup of good coffee? If you do we want to meet just such cranks. It's pleasure to sell Tea and Coffee to people who are particular as to the quality they want; and why? Because when you sell them the good kind they are pleased and they con tinue to buy as long as you give them the good quality, and when you give them an inferior quality they give you the cold shoulder and who'd blame them? We sell three different blended Coffees at 25c per pound; either one will suit anyone who wants cup of good Coffee; mind you, all three will not suit you, but either one of the three will surely tickle your palate and you'll never know what the quality is until you try them. Golden Java, Brass City or Broadway blend are our leaders at 25c per pound. Say, did you read Sundays N. I. papers and see where the Span ish noblewoman, Dona Maria Francis ca O'Reilly de Camara. Countess of Buena Vista, (she should drop the O'Reilly) is suing a U. s. soldier be- cause he wouldn't let her slaughter and Sell all the cattle needed for con- sumption in Havana? This woman (and they call her a noblewoman) doesn't know what she's missing by living in Cuba. Why the dickens doesn't she come to the United States and join the beef trust or the Water bury ice trust? She'll make fortune upon fortune and she'll have the law on her side of the fence. But, say; she is the kind of crank we wouldn't want coming to our store for good Cof- fee; we'd be tempted to roast her ey- cry time we got the chance, we have such a burning love for these trusts and monopolies, don't you know, at

Talked Sense.

Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist
Episcopal church. in an address to a
class of young preachers at the
Methodist conference in New York.
made some statements which would
base beefI resented if the author had
been a less exalted parsonage than Il
bishop.
Among other things he is reported
as saying:
IF YOU should ask me to decide be-
tween the man with no religion and
common sensekand tl8esman with re
Iigion and no common sense. l should
take the man with common sense. 1t
lis the business sense which is going

goody principle and Hear. Lord!'
idea among people nowadays. Too
many people think they will be re-
ceived into the kingdom of heaven if
they have their shoes biackened and
their faces cleaned, but they are
wrong. / like a man with a good
Skeleton-a man who can stand up
straight. If he has not good sllele-
ton he caves in like bag of wind.
There is vast difference between
sanctification and 'crankifcation.' If

preacher so dry that if you bore n

fights the Methodist ministry is lazi-

our ministry as the average business
man puts into his business we shall

Funston TRADE.

The Pilgrim: That spectacular
young brigadier. Funston. of Kansas.
who in half a decade has been fill
buster. correspondent, colonel, spy and
now finally hero. is going the way
of all the heroes of the Spanish war.
His tongue will accomplish all that
the crafts and Assaults of the enemy
failed To do for his undoing. \ most
fortunate attack of Appendicitis kept
him immune from the contagion OF
the banquet board for a time after his
return To this country. but finally he
fell. At fashionable clubs in New
York and Chicago he has been making
speeches to the effect that senator's
like Hoar and publicists like Carl
Schurz who condemn our course in
the Philippines should be hanged.
This amounts of course to summary
condemnation of about half of the
United States senate. and one won
ders what the president. who so
roundly berated General Miles for
mildly criticizing the navy ring, will
do to this talkative brigadier general.
Perhaps. however. il is only when he
disbeIieves in the administration poll
CIV that "a soldier must keep silent.
Gen. Funston's. description of the
proper course for the nation is sum
med up by him thus:
Let us keep our differences to our
selves until thu sovereignty of the
United States has been established.
Then. if we must. let us pull hair
among ourselves as To how we shall
dispose of our possessions.
That is what thieves usually do
quarrel over the division of the swag.
Gen. Funston does not seem to un-
derstand that what the opponents of
Philippine conquest are attacking is
the commission of the crime, not the
disposition to be made of the plumber.

The Emperor,s American Ship.

Although Germany has been max
ing special efforts to establish her
self in the first rank as naval con-
structor, yet when the emperor
wanted a yacht combining the best
modern ideas he placed the order in
America. This is surely recogni-
ton of American ability and superior
workmanship. Our country also eX-
GELS all others in medicine. Take

stance. 1t has been over so years
since il has was first introduced, and
it's record of cures during that time
has placed it in the first rank among
medicines. 1t is recommended by
many prominent physicians as an ex-
cellent spring tonic and blood puri-
fer; also to cure heartburn, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, constipation. la
grippe and malaria. \ trial will

Right to strike Amrmed.

The court of appeals at Albany.
v. V. has handed down decision
affirming the legal right of labor
unions to- strike. The court held that
an organization of workingmen en-
joys the same rights under the law
as an individual who threatens to do
that which he may lawfully do. The
defendants in the action-the union
wanted 70 fill the places of non-union
men working for less pay with mem
bers of their own organization, and
when the company refused the de-
mand. the union ordered a walk-Out.
The court holds that they had legal
right TO enforce their right.
In the course of the opinion the
court says that lit is not the duty of
one man TO work for another unless
he has agreed to, and if
he has so agreed TO. but
for no fixed period. either may
end a. contract whenever be chooses.
TheNone may work or refuse to work
at will and the other may hire or dis
charge at will. Workingmen have
the right TO organize for the purpose
of securing higher wages. shorter
hours of labor or improving their re-
lations with their employers. They
have the right to strike. provided the
object is not to crafty malice or in
fiict injury upon others, but~to Sc
cure better terms Of employment for
themselves. y peaceful and orderly
strike is hot in violation of the LAW.
'.The defendants had the right to
strike for amy reason they deemed
just one. and had the right 10 notify
their employer of their purpose to
strike. ! am unable 10 see how ii is
possible to deny the right of the de-
PENDANT organization and their mem
hers TO refuse to work with non-mem-
hers. So long as wOrkmen must as

come upon them through the care
lessness of co-emplOyes. they have

notice which he saw there. la the

sausages. 20 cents On his return
in the evening he-would find those
sausages still 20 cents "a pound. but
more often the notice was changed
and the sign read. Fine pork sau-
sages IL" tor sometimeSJ 40 cents"
The matter. he said. used TO worry
him. SausageS were not of so per-
ishable a nature that they would not
still keep till the next day- and he
could not understand it. So one even
ing he stopped at the shop. made
some casual remark. and then in
quired the price of sausages. Ten
cents" said the shopkeeper. But,
replied Mr.. Mckinley. they were 20
cents this morning. $50 they were.
