The Countess Gucki'' is a German
comedy, dealing with things in the period
OF 1920. and it is said that the comedy
Of those days was as bright as that of
the twentieth century, for it is just that
plain. natural comedy that is ever re-
freshing. The story deals with. the facts
and fancies in the life of young Prus-
sian officer, who fell head over heels
in love with charming belle who didn't
care rap for him. But the soldier
was not an easy gutter. and he put
every talent he possessed to the very
front to win the hand and the heart Of
his fair charmer. 1t would not be ma
tural for him to fail, and though he has
many trying experiences and works up
many situations. the fair one finally
falls a victim and accepts the officer,
who celebrates the event with a fete

best as the charming young girl, and
that Mr.. Gilmore is In a star part as

Total S2455 1905, 295 $40, $50
The totals show that the cost
of living was 6 per cent greater
in 1900 than in 1890, 81 per cent
greater in 1900 than in 1897 and
Al per cent greater in May, 1902,
than in 1897.
The cost of living on May 1,
1902, was greater than ever be-
fore recorded. The 10 per cent
increase given the miners was
not onethird enough to .compen-
safe them for the increased cost
OF living up to 1900. Since then
the cost of living has increased
u per cent more, and the miners
are wondering what is wrong
with their wages. When thew
saw that the trust increased the
price Of coal in 1901 more than
81 per cent over the price of
1890 they said 1--WE will ask
for higher wages and stop work
if we don't get them"
The poorly paid silk weavers
of Paterson, the street-car men
of Rhode Island and many other
wage earners in other industries
have been driven to ask for high
er wages by the same unseen
force which has quietly been at
work reducing wages. 1t should
be remembered that the real
wages of labor are goods not dol
lars. Men don't eat or wear
money; they have to exchange
their money wages for goods be-
fore they can tell whether their
wages are high or low. AS the
trusts have advanced prices more
than 40 per cent since 1897, the
trusts have virtually reduced
wages more than 30 per cent.
Naturally it first occurs to dis
satisfied wage earners to strike
to have their wages catch up
with trust prices. But there is
another and more certain way of
raising wages, that is to vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t involves
no riots, no bloodshed, no hun.

Cause of the coal strike is be-
cause prices have gone up 40 per
cent and wages down 30 per cent.
President John Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers of America
in his excellent address to the
public not only presented all
kinds of facts and reasons why
the railroad coal barons can we'll
afford to pay higher wages to
miners, but he stated one fact
which applies to all wage earn
ers and which undoubtedly is the
cause of many of the numerous
strikes now disturbing industry.
After quoting figures showing
that average wages of miners are
only ST. a day and that miners
are employed less than 200 days
in a year, and therefore earn an.
nually less than $500, President
Mitchell says
"Such pay may supply a living
on a par with some classes of
European laborers, but who will
say that it is sufficient to support
American citizens or educate and
properly maintain their families?
True it is that a 10 per cent in
crease in wages was granted by
the coal operators as a strike
concession two years ago, but it
is also true that large portion
of that 10 per cent was paid back
to the companies to buy the sup
preston of an old powder griev-
ance. Moreover, according to
reliable commercial agencies, the
cost of living has increased,
particularly in the purchase of
foodstuffs, from 80 to 40 per
cent, so that the purchasing
of a miners wages is less now
than before the strike of 1900"
Mr.. Mitchell did not overstate
the facts. The following iudex
figures from Dun's review show
the average prices at the different
dates mentioned of $50 articles
of consumption, with due allow
ance for the relative Importance

ger and starvation.
We have seen that actual wag.
es go down when prices go up.
1t follows that when prices go
down wages will go up. The
trusts can put prices up in this
country because they are pro-
tected by high tariff duties which
keep out foreign competition.
Take away these duties and pric.
es here must come down to about
the foreign level. To take off
tariff duties will not hurt the
trusts and close up mills, because
the trusts are now selling their
products in foreign markets at
prices often 80 per cent below
those charged at home.
Instead of closing up mills and
throwing labor out of employ
ment, no tariff and low prices
will increase the sales of trust
goods, increase the output and
cause a greater demand for
labor. Thus not only will the
removal of duties raise actual
wages by lowering prices but it
Will raise money wages as well,
for it is only a demand for labor
that can result in permanently
higher wages. High trust prices
mean restricted protection, less
demand for labor and in the end
lower wages. Thus the Excess
slvely high trust prices of the
last few years are surely laying
the foundations for strikes and
hard times.
If the miners will spend in
agitation for free trade in trust
products one-half what this
strike will cost them they will
soon see actual wages advanced
more than they will ever be by
strikes.
1t is rather unfortunate for the
trusts and their friends that the
great rise in prices should cor
respond exactly with the great
growth Of trusts. The trust era
really began in 1897 under the
Dingley act. Census bulletin No.
122 contains information concern
ing 1873 industrial combinations"
having total authorized capital
of$3, 607, $50, 200, over So, 900, 600, :
900 of which has been issued.
Of these 1873 trusts 60 were form
ed prior to 1897, z in 1897, 20 in
1898, 70 in 1899 and 13 in 1900
prior to June 30. More than
half of all were chartered be-
tween Jan. 1, 1899, aud June 80,
1900. Nearly half of these trusts
were formed during 1899, the
year of the greatest advance in
prices. The index number for
prices, which stood at 80, 423 on
Jan. 1, 1899, rose to 1926 on
Jan. l, 1900, and prices have still
further advanced.
These facts should silence for
ever the claims that trusts iusti-
fly the existence by the lower
prices which they give us.
Trusts may, and probably do,
lower the cost of production; but
this is q very different thing from
lower prices to consumers.
1t is undoubtedly true that
these trusts are selling their pro-
ducts to foreigners at unusually
low prices. They are, however,
protected in our markets by tariff
duties averaging on manufacture
cd goods, including prohibitive
duties, nbout 70 per cent.

of life. Women do not lie to mer
one-tenth as much as men lie tC

tions of various sorts in narrat.

withstanding. They gossip, but
at least half their gossip they
get from their husbands. They
speak the truth as often as men
do, and they suppress it oftener
where it would do harm. The
false woman, so called. is false
because she is true to some false
conception of truth. Women are
not worse gossips than men;
they are not worse liars than
men, though, from woman's
peculiar inscrutability, they may
be better liars than men. The
woman who lies does so through
fear of tyranny. The man who
lies will lie for meaner things,
for money, for a good appear
ance before men, for self pride
and vanity. Let us have an end
of all this gable about women
being essentially different from
men. They are very much the
same, on the average, and when
they have fair show they will
be much better than men in
every way, as they are now in
many ways. There never has
been bad woman in history
that had not for cause of badness
some man or other. If the same
applies to bad men, as some have
asserted, it only proves that men
and women are as good and as
bad as their association together
on this planet permits or com.
pels them to be. The woman
question is the bane that it is,
simply because so many men and
women cherish the delusion that
each sex has virtues or vices
which the other has not. Virtue
and vice know no gender. The
worst vices are those that require
a little of both genders for their
completion. Good women live
up to a common ideal, an ideal OF
both women and men. Bad
women lapse from that common
ideal. Women are not exactly
the angels that some would pic
ture them. Men are not so bad
as they are sometimes painted.
Both have the same weaknesses.
Women are better than men, only
to that extent that they must be
better in order that, having the
main care of the progeny of men
and women, there may be a
transmission of preponderating
good in the generations to fol-
low. Women's goodness is not
exactly an imposition from mans
will, norss it wholly an impulse
of their own. They are good be-
cause men want them to be so, to
a great extent. They are bad,
when they are, for the same
reason. These two propositions
apply, with notifications not ex-
tensive, to men as well. Men are
not as universally bad nor women
as universally good as the chiv-
alric tradition would insist. In
brief, women are not special

One of the learned New York
magistrates says that women lie
more than men.-Ex.
1t may not be true, but if it be
true, there is an explanation. A
lie is the device, ordinarily, of
the weak against the strong, of
the oppressed against the OPP
pressor. If women lie it is be-
cause they have been taught to
fear men. If'women lie it is
mainly because they have been
suppressed for ages. If they lie
to one another, nine times out of
ten, they do so to protect their
husbands or brothers or fathers
or to exalt them in the opinion
of others. The worst form of
lying women are not as much adj
dicted to, as are men, that is,
lying to themselves. And on
the broad general proposition
that women lie more than men
the fair minded man can only
consent to the dictum on the
that women lie more be-
cause they talk more. Women
do not, lie for lie. lie more to
women, than men do to men, in

ton of political methods. He
participated in the civil war and
was several times promoted for
meritorious conduct. He is an
attorney of marked ability, and

He was born at Angelica, AL
legany county, New York, and
was brought up on a farm. He
was educated at the Wilson acad-
envy, at Angelica.
He enlisted as private in the
civil war and served two years

ant in February, 1862. He par
ticipated in the battles of West
Point, Gaines Mills, Frazier's
Farm, Malvern Hill, South
Mountain and Antietam. He was
promoted to 1st lieutenant in
September, 1862, and to regi-
mental quartermaster in Novem-
Der of the same year. He was
mustered out and honorably dis
charged in May, 1864, when he
went to SanFrancisco by the
Isthmus route.
He studied law in the Office Of
Samuel M. Wilson, then lead
ing lawyer of the Pacific coast;
was admitted to the bar in Sac
ramento on April 3rd, 1866; re-
turned to New York state, open
ed an Office in jamestown in that
state and remained there year
and then emigrated to Eau Claire
Wisconsin, then a growing town,
having an immense lumber trade
for it's support.
He was married there to Mary
r. Goodrich, of Wellsville, New
York; remained in Eau Claire
until September, 1877, where he
had a large and lucrative law
practice. On account of the i'll |
health of his wife he returned to
