PRICES AND PROSPERITY.

Says the Indianapolis Sentinel:
The Sentinel has called attention
several times to the fact that the
"prosperity" Of which the republic
an papers talk SO much is coinci>
dent with rising prices Of commo-
dities, and consequently with a de-
creased purchasing money power.
1t is, of course, true that an ad
vance Of prices makes living more
expensive, but at the same time it
is evident that it "makes business
better" There is nothing myster-
ious about this. The whole theory
Of business is to buy and sell and
get gain" II people buy and sell
and do not get gain, business is
not profitable. and if they lose it is
so bad that the ultimate result, on
the average, is bankruptcy and de-
preston.
1t is very clear that if any line Of
goods is advancing in market price
the man who buys today to sell
next month makes not only the
ordinary handlers profit but also
the advance in the goods, and
therefore the transaction is profit
able. On the other hand, if the
price is falling to such an extent as
to wipe out the handlers profit, he
is at least losing to the extent OF
his time and current expenses.
The serious question always is
whether the rise is natural or arts
fetal. If it is process that is only
temporary in character and will
soon be reversed, there is bound to
come an era of falling prices and
business depression. Such charge
is certain 10 do harm to the major
ity in the long run. There is some
reason to believe, however that the
present advances. outside of trust
controlled products, is due or par.
tally due, to a decreasing value of
9 Id, on account of large produc>
lion. If this be true this change is
likely to be permanent at least until
new price level is established.

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION

Next September, at Minneapolis,
says the Salt Lake Herald, cons
vention is to be held which should
interest all who are concerned in
the industrial welfare OF the coun-
try. There will be gathered em-
ployers and employees from all secs
tions of the United States to dis
cuss labor problems and to see if
some method Of solving the more
complex OF them cannot be devils
ed. 1t is hardly probable that in
the few days sessions Of the con-
vention, September 22 20, inclusive,
plans can be formulated which will
meet all conditions, but the meet
ing will doubtless prove beneficial
For one thing, it will give the
employee better understanding OF
each other and a better acquain>
.tance with each other. Employers
who are honestly trying to better
the conditions of those who work
for them will have an opportunity
to see what manner OF men are
those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces. Employees who
are not Anatical in their views on
labor subjects may learn that all
capitalists are not monsters of op>
preston and greed.
President Roosevelt is planning
70 attend the convention, and hun
dreds Of prominent men on both
sides Of the firing line have accept
ed invitations to be present The
debates will cover wide range
Among the topics will be the eight
hour day, cooperative employ
ment, arbitration and number of
other subjects in which employe
and employer are vitality interested
Readers of the daily papers will
not ask the reason tor the calling
Of the convention. 1t is found in
the columns of every newspaper
published in the United States to-
day. There was never time when
the strike method of settling labor
disputes was m IRE general y resorts
ed to. In almost every large in.
dustrial center men are striking.
They are losing their wages in
sums that aggregate millions and
their employers are losing amounts s
almost as great in curtaiIment OF
product.
Of all the methods of adjusting
labor troubles the strike is the
most expensive. 1t is high tune
that some safe method of prevents
ing them was formulated If the
Minneapolis convent on makes it
possible to avoid one great strike it
will not have assembled in VAN.

SMALL STATE, BIC SENATOR'S.

Rhode Island is small State, but it has big turkeys. It also has two big United States senators, whom the peo- pie of the State haven't seen for so long that they have forgotten how they look. The President is going to visit Provi- dence soon, and it is hoped that in addition to seeing him the people will get at least a passing glimpse of their senators. The Providence Journal plaintively says: The people have right to see and to hear the men whom they, nominally at least, select to rep- resent them in the United States Senate. They do not care to have them paraded at cattle shows or used to advertise shore resorts, but an occasional public address they are entitled to. Rhode Isl- anders know what Mir Aldrich does at Washington, and they are glad the State has so influential representative at the capital. So important an event as visit from the President of the United States must draw into the pub
 lie gaze for a few hours at least both the senators. It is not strange, there- fore, that their public appearance is awaited with interest. Is there another State in the Union neither of whose sen- ators has appeared in public within his State for, say, four or five years?
 It really does seem that United States senators ought to notice their faithful and beloved constituents once in four or five years. Once in six years is hard ly enough. We hope the people of Rhode Island will see what they go out for to see and enjoy the unusual sight.

DON'T WEAR WE'LL.

Complaint is being made to the Treas ury officials about the poor! wearing qualities of the new ten dollar notes, or buffalo bills, as they are more common ly known by reason of the picture of a bison, which forms the central figure of each. The bill is one of the handsomest ever issued by the government and there has been large demand for it But for some reason or other the new note has not proven good wearer and quantities of them have come back to the department for redemption, after remaining in circulation only about one-fifth of the time bills are usually out. The officials account for the short life of the buffalo bill by the fact that 1t was necessary to issue them almost immediately after their receipt from, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Treasury people try to keep notes in stock for four or five months before putting them into circulation, so that they may become cured" as the ex- pression is. It takes about that much time for the ink to set thoroughly and the paper to become tough and tried out. The buffalo bills are showing the lack of the curing process by the wav in which they return to Washington sadly smeared from end to end with ink and creased and worn to the point of falling apart
 The buffalo bills are not the only ones that are deficient in staying quality. All the bills are easily broken.

4 NEW CURE.

A Paris physician reports the case of physician suffering from consumption whom he sent to Switzerland with in- functions to take care not to expose himself. The patient climbed a noun tain, was caught in a severe storm, al- together unprotected, lost in the snow, lived for three days and nights in the open and was at last sent back to France, since which time he has con- tlnued to improve and is now pronounc- ed cured
 Probably this new cure for consump- tion will not become popular, as it is a pretty severe course of treatment. But this, or something like it, would doubtless do many consumptives good.

WILL NOT FAKE PLACE.

In the early part of this month States Attorney Lucas of Norwich calmly and yet firmly said concerning the proposed
 fight between Corbett and McGovern:
 "The fight will positively not take place. I have personally interviewed Chief Justice Torrance of the Supreme court, and he has agreed to hold a spe- cial session of the Criminal Superior court in New London, and special meas ures will be taken to prevent the fight taking place." Terry McGovern, one of the alleged fighters, said the fight would positively come off, and he ada ed: If we are arrested before the fight We will furnish bail and then go on with the contest. If we are arrested after the bout we do not care. The people have been looking forward to this fight, and we are anxious for it. It is too late now to back down, and the people will not be disappointed" "Bilr' Crow ley also thought the fight would come off.

r The Touring club of France, desirous of increasing the comfort of it's mem- bers, has voted a large sum of money tor the purpose of conducting a series of experiments on various roads with heavy American petroleum and also with thick mineral oil. During the last twelve years, it is said, numerous ave- nues of St. Gaudens, in France, have been kept dustless by the free use of oil and tar, which render the surfaces ab- solutely impervious to water, and hence mudless. These materials, declared La Locomotion recently, are the only ones known to science which will effectually prevent the creation of dust on roads traversed by fast vehicles.

Stale Bread and New.

A medical journal has lately been
investigating the claims of new and
stale bread for populara acceptance.
It is admitted that new bread is indi.
gestible-that is, in the case of the
ordinary stomach-though one medica
writer alleges that cit need not be So"
New bread contains vastly more water
than old bread, it's constituents are Of
a doughty character and it's digestion
must present great difficulties because
the digestive secretions do not readily
gain access to it's mass. If bread IS
new it is apt to prove indigestible.
This is plain statement of fact, veri-
fed by the experience Of everyday
life. Nothing can altar the character
of new bread in this respect unless,
indeed, it be toasted The scientific
aspect of the new bread case is all On
the side of popular belief. Let those
who have feeble digestions avoid new
bread. Such is the lesson to be
CLEANED from review of the case
