There is no reason why the clothes

to the same standard of excellence that
comes from sending them to the laun-

the desired object is the purchase of
a package of Defiance starch at any

time in uniting for the regulation, if
not for the suppression of a gigantic
evil.
But the fact is that a great army of
men and women is employed by the
concerns called trusts, and these work
ers are probably much better informed
on the matter of wages and prices
than the antitrust writer's. 1t Is
with them a matter of every day ex-
perience and they do not join in the
hue and cry. Hardships there prob
ably are, and neither small nor large
employers are always just to their
people, but there seems to be no evil

He Meant the Bird.

A man once received as a present
from sea captain a fine specimen of
the bird known as the Laughing
jackass.'
As he was carrying it home he met
a brawny Irish NAVY. who stopped
him:
'Phwat kind of a burrd is that,
sorr" asked the man.
That's laughing jackass." ex-
planned the owner, genially.
The Irishman, thinking he was be-
ing made fun of, was equal to the oc-
casion. and responded, with a twink
of the eye:
Its not yerself-it's the burrd I
name, sorr."

The condition of affairs in Liberal
circles in England seems to have i'm
proved very sensibly since Lord Rose
bery's Chesterfield speech: There are
indications now that the factions
may be brought together under the
noble Lords leadership on some kind
of platform having to do with the
Boer war. Public sentiment in Eng
land, while almost unanimously in
favor of prosecuting the war to the
bitter end, is now supposed to have
undergone some change. Multitudes
of Englishmen are eager for cessa-
ton of hostilities, and there is some
possibility in the opinion of good
judges, that a reorganized Liberal
party may be formed around this CEN
trial idea

1t is a source of great disappoint-
ment to anti-tariff men that the cry
against the trusts, so-called, meets
with so faint a response among those
who, if the cry were sound and true,
ought to be aroused by it to defend
their interests. If, as alleged, the
trusts increase prices and depress
wages, the wage-earners should be
fully aware of it and should lose no

When the Salvation Army gets hold
of drifting brother or sister it calls
