Lord spcncer's~B Bargain.

Lord Spencer of Althorp, one of the
greatest of book collectors, was at
home only in his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of dealer
in bric-a -brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here is fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have, and
you shall have it very cheap-only 2
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought it and took
it home and set it in high place. One
day a connOisseur of china paid him
q visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
What did you give for it?' asked
the cOnnoisSeur.
1.-TWO guineas." answered Spencer
rather proudly.

that price the marmalade should have
been included"

A Cheerful Enpe,

it. The bright eye, the uuclouded brow,
the sunny smile-all tell of that which

electrifying influence? One glance at
this face lifts us out of the mists and
shadows into the beautiful realms of
hope. One cheerful face in the house
hold will keep everything warm and
light within. 1t may be Il very plain
face, but there is something in it we
feel. yet cannot express. and its CHEEKY
smile sends the blood dancing through
our veins for very joy. All, there is n

for all the sQulless beauty that ever

LET THERE BE ACTION.

The members of the city council
have had the high license ordinance
under consideration long enough. The
people of the town have studied its
provisions and approve them.
1t is now time to act. The people
will tolerate no monkeying, and any
one who undertakes it will be engaged
in serious business. Let the ordinance
be either passed or defeated. Let the
councilmen go on record. Let the
people of the town see if the boast of
the dive keepers that they could ''in-
duce'' any public servant to reverse
his expressed judgment and opinion
was libel or a degrading truth.
There is no necessity for further de-
lay. Let there be action one way or
another. Shenanigan won't go. Let
the council meet, and, in the open,
register it's will. The ordinance can
not be killed by dilatory tactics. The
councilmen must go on record. The
mayor heard a majority of the council
men, t6wit, Buehman, Barkley, Ander-
son and Shand, at two successive meet
ings of the city council, declare in ia
vor of the ordinance. The mayor
should call a special meeting and give
the majority chance to act.

a ROYAL DANDY.

We learn from a London letter pub
lishd in the Los Angeles Herald that
the young German prince, Albert of
Thurn, is regarded with envy by the
gilded youth of Europe, because of his
infinite ability to dress well. AS an
all-'round dandy Albert is evidently
without a peer. According to the
report in our Los Angeles contem-
porary. this royal dude attires himself
every day in new suit of clothes, his
tailor's bill for year being about
$4,000. His garments are perfumed
with altar of roses. He uses 1000
neckties every year, and about 200
pairs of boots and shoes.
Some of the gilded youth Of the
United States have WardrObes that are
perfectly stunning from the point of
view of American simplicity, but they
are as a tallow candle to an electric
light when compared with the gor-
geously attired Teutonic princelet.
Clothes are undoubtedly useful. If it
were not for Prince Albert's many
suits, nobody would ever have heard If
him beyond his own little region.
Some of our dandies use their ward
robes for advertising purposes. Not
very long ago an exquisite who had
innumerable frock coats, fancy
breeches, picturesque waistcoats, lurid
neckties and the name of Berry Wall
failed in New York. He was known
as the king of the dudes, and enjoyed
wide reputation as gorgeous
dresser. On the strength of this noto-
riety. he obtained lucrative position,
but he wasn't worth tinker's dam
and soon lost his job.
A man must have gray matter in his
head as we'll as stunning wardrobe
if he is going to make his way in the
world. Prince Albert dose not have
to pay his tailor's bills out of his
earnings. He is one of those lucky
individuals whom the people OF mon
archical countries are apparently glad

PATRIOTISM OF THE UNION
PRINTERS.

The Houston Post warmly COM
mends the action of the International
Typographical Union, which recently
concluded it's annual convention in
posal tending to prevent its members
from being members of the national
guard. An amendment to the rules of
the union was proposed nioviding that
no person should be entitled to MEM
bership in typographical union who
is member of any militia body. At
ter some discussion it was voted down,
the Typographical Union going on
record for law and order
The reason for proposing the amend
ment was that as the militia is called
out in case of strike, members of the
union might be called on to aid in
suppressing a strike inaugurated by
their own union or some other union
of craftsmen of similar principles.
But the conservative element in the
convention prevailed and succeeded in
convincing majority of it's members
that the duty of the union and it's pol
icy as we'll was to stand for law and
order, and not go on record by the
adoption of rule which would seem to
be in opposition to the govrnment or
part of the government.
The Typographical Union has mem
bership which is up in the front rank
as to intelligence. Whatever compli-
cations may result from a union man
being also militiaman at the time of
a strike are infinitely preferable to a
seeming declaration against the gov
ernment and against law and order
Few union man have the time to be-
long to the militia nor have all who
could take the time the inclination,
But even if more union men Joined the
militia than has been and will be the
case, the course pursued by the Typo
graphical Union is the correct one
The union would not wish to, nor
would it be policy for it to, take it's
members out of the pale of citizenship
! For their patriotism as we'll as their
practical wisdom in voting down the
amendment the members of the Inter
national Typographical Union are to
! be congratulated.

to take care OF. His family formed a
governmental trust some centuries ago,
that has been regular dividend payer
since If the prince had to work for
his clothes, he would be fortunate if he
earned enough to buy two suits year
A man whose only aspiration in Kfe is
to have new SHIT every day must be
weak-minded fop on general prin-
ciples.
While Prince Albert spends $4,000
a year on his wardrobe, it was only a
few days ago that the telegraph told Us
that the peasants of Ga1icia were on a
strike for an increase of wages. They
are paid from to 16 cents a day now,
and demand cents more. If the Ger
man prince had to work for starvation
wages, he would not dress so beauti-
fully as he does now at the expense of
his subjects. but he would doubtless
realize the wickedness of a system
which exacts tribute from the destitute
to furnish elegant raiment for useless
and eXtravagant princelets.

consumer, and that pretended ''relief
to Cuba was conditioned on Cuba so
arranging her tariff rates as that the
products of all the trusts of this cOun-
try should enter her ports at 20 per
cent less than from any other country
on earth. 1t is true part of the Re-
publicans rebelled against the admins
tration and its party leadership and
joined with the Democrats and put an
amendment on the bill that cut the
profits of the sugar trust out of it, and
then what? The bill got lost in the
Senate. in spite of Presidential pub
licity!" Now talk begins when the
session ends. Why not have pressed
the House and Senate when in session
to enact some antitrust legislation?
Why not have suggested putting trust
made articles on the free list. Why
not have suggested prohibiting the use
of the mails by the trusts? why not
have suggested publicity" forced by
law? Why not have suggested some
Announcement to the weak Sherman act?
Why not have pressed his Department
of Justice to enforce the civil and
criminal provisions of the Sherman
act? Why the buster about the beef
trust and sullen silence as to all the
other trusts?
The last Congress had abundant op-
portunity to do something to remedy
the trust evil, and it did nothing what
ever-not even anything in the line of
the Presidents recommendations *or
publicity. 1t refused to pass the bill
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to stop discrimination
in railroad rates. 1t refused to reduce
any tariff rates. 1t passed the ship
subsidy bill in the Senate and de-
ferred action in the House till after
the election. There is no antitrust

MUCH TALK NO ACTION.

The Hon. George F. Burgess, Texas
Congressman, is not much impressed
by the talk of President Roosevelt
about doing something" with the
trusts. Mr.. Burgess is inclined to re-
gard it as vocal exercise. He says:
The Democrats are accused of an
academic discussion" of the money
question. We are now having worse
than an academic discussion of the
trust question. We have an admission
of the fact that trusts exist and that
they are hurtful, but no remedy is
proposed but Presidential publicity
This is too 'strenuous!" Talk before
the election and silence after the cleo
tion is the established program of the
Republican party on the trust question.
The people are waking up to the facts.
With full control of all branches of
the government for years sthe Repub-
licans have done nothing to control
the trusts, and they don't intend TO.
They offere constitutional amenu-
ment to control trusts Were they in
earnest? Would they have pressed it's
adoption by the States? No! 1t was
trap to catch the Democrats, in that
if they had agreed to it as a remedy,
trusts would have been eliminated as
political issue. Since they have
done nothing, presumably their posi-
ton is that, not having unlimited
power to control the trusts, they will
not attempt to control them at ALL
That certainly comes very near de-
scribing the situation. The trusts
shut the President up completely on
the Cuban reciprocity question. and his
prosecution of the beef trust has de-
generated into a farce in the courts
Even Republicans laugh at it and pre-
dict that it will amount to nothing
At the same time the packers are busily
engaged in forming a larger 'and more
dangerous combination. We have had
a deluge of talk. but nothing has been
done. AS Mr.. Burgess says:
The long session of this Congress
has ended, and what is it's record
Nothing but talk! Guarded, glittering
general talk, like the academic discus
sion of the President, who, by the way,
has a fondness for that word captain" 2"

invoked to protect our friends, the
'fat-fryers!" What Is the use of deny
ing that they are in with the trusts,
when. under their administration the
funds of the Cubans are blended with
the funds of the sugar trust, and both
used cunningly to "infiuence the leaders
of thought in this country" to pass a
law through Congress, the result of
which would be to give the sugar trust
a cheaper raw material, and thus in

Why not let Alcalde Schumacher
appoint all the members of the city
council? Then, perhaps. things would
run more smoothly. If Barkley and
Shand, who were elected by the peo-
pie, should be declared Ineligible, as
the dive keepers seem to desire, the
Old Alcalde would have the appoint
ment of their successors. One member
of the council is already an appointee
of the Alcalde, and it is worthy of note
that he is the author of the high Ii
cense ordinance.
