manifest destiny" 1t is estimated
that 800, 900 will be saved in the
matter of catalogues alone. That will
throw not few printers out of job.
They will retire we know not how
many men from territories now
overworked - which means in plain
english, that several thousand good
men will soon be on the hunt for
a job. They will not only retire sew
eral thousand travelling men, but they
will also retire several hundred book
keepers, and as many type writers.
And the question arises, what will
this large retired force do2 They are
compelled to work or beg or steal.
They are, in a business sense, ostra-
cised from the only business many of
them understand. Half of them,
doubtless, have reached the meridian
of life. They have wives and children
to support. And yet, their only hope
is to find a cheap job in another line
Of business and start at the bottom and
climb up. And about the time they
have climbed rung or two of the
ladder, that business will combine
and they will be dropped to the bottom
again. That is how the combine
idea and theory works, to overcrowd I
the plethoric purses of the rich. to
dwarf the ambition, to paralyze the
energies, to destroy the hopes, to ruin
the lives of the masses of the people.
A fine country this, to talk about
civiiizing another country A country

The Federal Courts of Chicago have
rendered decision against special rate
cutting, and Judge Grosscup, in his
comment, said; 81 believe that freight
rates should be as steady as postage
rates, and that no discrimination
should be made. The person who
turns over freight to a comomn carrier
for transportation should be made to
feel that he will enjoy the same rates
as any other shipper.

A committee that refuses to investi

itself to be investigated. II does moi
matter whether il would effect the gen,
eral result or not. II there is one man
or one creature bearing resemblance
to a man-sO unfair as to vote twice in
the same election. il would be worth
the investigation just to expose him
to the contempt of all fair mind

it would be well worth the pains and
trouble of an investigation just TO ex-
pose to public contempt, disgust and
ridicule both the bride giver and the
bride taker. If no fraud was com
mitted, no corruption prsctced. the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY is entitled to
verdict of not guilty; if fraud was
committed the defeated candidates are
entitled to full investigation and
fair count AS precedent for future
elections the rule should be established
that whenever the charge of fraud is
made, directly, specifically, openly and
by responsible person, it will be in
vestigated, not so much to protect the
rights of the individual, as to purge
the ballot box of all corruption and
secure to the citizen clean election.
In the mad scramble for Office in these
degenerate times, canvassing boards
are all too prone to ignore the rights
of the political party represented and
settle great questions of public morality |
from narrow, personal standpoint. |
And the reason of this is that the truly |
men of the country-as
a class-take too little active part in
politics, and leave the affairs of the
State and Nation in the hands of men
who have no higher appreciation of
their duties and responsibilities than
TO reward their friends. punish their
enemies or get offices for themselves.

CRUSHED BY CASTRO
Revolution at Venezuela Regarded at
et an End.


Washington, Nov 14-MaiI advlces re-
ceiyed here from Caracas, Venezuela, are
to the effect that a report had reached
the capital city that the irons had been
taken off General Jose Manuel Herman
dez. DR.. Finol and the other prisoners
detained in the castle of San Carlos
Hernandez was imprisoned by order OF
President Castro TO prevent him partici-
pating in the recent revolution. Herman
dez has been a prominent figure IN past
revolutions and aspirant for the presi-
denoy.
Mail adviees show that the government
now treats the revolution as having been
crushed. President Castro in a pTocla
nation concludes by saying:

crowned the efforts of patriotic heToisn.
After seven days of great and superhu-
man efforts in the most deadly and
bloody struggle recorded in our history,
l,Oe0 heroes have obliged 1000 mercenary
