The FULL DINNER PAIL.

Once upon a time, and not very long
ago. when votes We're urgently needed
by the trusts for their political servant,
the Republican party, we read much
and heard much of the full dinner
pail" The votes were cast as desired
by the trusts--and we don't hear as
much as formerly of the full dinner
pail
Why is it that we don't hear so mach
nor read so much of the full dinner
pail?" Well. first, because 1t isn't
always full for the reason that it
costs the owner of the pail at least 40
per cent more to fill it than it did when
he voted as the trusts desired. Why
does it cost 40 per cent more than it
did in 1906 to fill dinner pail? Prin-
cipally because of the legislation en-
acted by the Republican party in the
interest of the trusts, giving them
monopolies of the things men and
women and children eat, as well as
monopolies of the things men and
women and children wear. An owner
of dinner pail must provide food for
himself and wife and children. If
food costs, as 1t does, 40 per cent more
than it did when he voted for the po-
l;tical servant of the trusts, it follows
taat he can't buy as much food as for
merly, so his dinner pail is not as full
as it used to be. If clothing costs, as
it does, 40 per cent more than + did
when the dinner bucket owner voted
for the political servant of the trusts.
L follows that he can not buy as much
clothing as formerly, or II he does, he
has less money to Obtain the other ne
cessities, not to speak of any of the
luxuries, of life.
1t is known OF all men that there
have been very few instances of in
creases in wages since the election of
1900. But it is also known of all
men that the increases in the cost of
articles Of food and clothing have ac-
tually taken place. Recent events
nave made this fact appear in a light
SO strong that no one can fail to see it.
We refer to the action of the meat
trust.
So, if the owner of dinner pail will
carefully take stock, he will certainly
not And himself making monav fact
But the great trusts have heaped up
fortunes, thanks to the votes of the
dinner pail brigade for it's political
servant, the Republican party.

AFRAID OF INFORMATION.

Republican Senators are resorting n

pearance of Major Gardiner before the

Gardiner is an officer Of high standing

ject being inquired into.

SAILORS ON SHORE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the San

shocked and panied because some
naval officers and sailors of the United
States cruiser Chicago behaved iu a
manner at Venice that necessitated
their arrest by the municipal author
tiles. The Bulletin fears that the in

abound and rejoice and enjoy them

are hard to account for.

The Japanese are ruthless in their
tampering with nature. If they de-
eide that they want bird or an ami
nal of a certain shape or color, they
set about manufacturing the article,
so to speak, by the exercise of exceed
ipgly clever ingenuity and untiring pa
tience. Here, for example, is how the
white sparrows are produced:
They select a pair of grayish birds
and keep them in white cage in a
white room. where they are attended
by a person dressed in white. The
mental effect on series of genera
tons of birds results in completely
white birds. They breed the domes-
tic cock with enormously long tails
after the same principle. They first
select a bird with good tail, giving
him very high perch to stand on;
then with weights they drag the tail
downward, carrying on the same sys-
tenn with the finest specimens of his
descendants till tail almost as long
as a peacock's is produced at last.
