Alfred Mosely, of England, who re-
Gently investigated industrial condi-
tions in America, made this prediction:
Labor and capital must be partners in
the best sense. They ought to be at
peace with each other. In this regard
the work of your Civic Federation is ex-
cellent, bringing together, as it does
the reasonable elements of the two
great active factors in production. |
think that profit sharing in some form
must finally come. There must be a
minimum wage for labor, with old age
pensions, interest on capital, a fund for
expansion, another for depreciation
and a division of the balance between
capital and labor. This is an ideal, but
it is possible to attain it, in the course
of time, peaceably."

Manufacturers $4,000 stake for 2:24
class trotters, the feature of the blue
ribbon meeting of the Detroit Driv-
ing club at the Crosse Pointe track
still unfinished, with two heats each
to the credit of Wainscott, the decid-
ed favorite, and John Taylor. John
Iaylor's victory over Wainscott in the
fourth heat, after an accident in the
third heat in which Taylor collided
with two other horses, then kicked
loose from the sulky and ran for
three-quarters of a mile, was the sur.
prise of the afternoon, and one of the
most sensational heats in the history
of the stake.
King Direct was favorte for the
1921 pace, but Dick Wilson had the
speed and won in straight heats.
Judge Cullen, the favorite in the
2:i4 trot. also won in straight heats.
In the 2:06 pace Elderone won the
first heat after splendid drive in
the stretch with William Nc, and the
second heat and race without trouble.

chants and Manufacturers $4,000
stake Wednesday at Crosse Pointe
and then won the fourth in impress
sive fashion, on Thursday afternoon
won the fifth heat and the race from
Wainscott, the heavily played favor
ite. There were only the two horses
in the heat, the others having gone to
the barn in accordance with the
rules of the stake.
In the unfinished 2:10 trot Dan T.
won the deciding heat and gave
Monte Carlo a decided beating.
Billy Buck was favorite for the 2:13
trot and he justified his choice by
winning both heats without trouble.
In the 2:lS trot Dillon Boy was the
favorite, but Fanforan had the speed
and won in straight heats.
DR.. Madara won the 2:17 pace in
straight heats. In the 2:O9 pace Win
field Stratton won as he pleased.
Sadie Baron was never in danger in
either heat of the 200 pace, which
was the last on the card.
Detroit, Mich, July 25.-As the re-
suit of very queer driving in the 2:13
pace, the last event on Fridays card
at the meeting of the Detroit Driv-
ing club at Crosse Pointe track,
Driver Al Proctor, of Aurora, Ont,
who was behind Darky, was fined 5000
and suspended for 80 days; Driver
Vance Nuckols, Yho was behind
Thereon Powers was fined 5000 and
all bets and pools on the race were
declared off.
James Buffers Eastview farm had
two winners in Monroe in the 2:2G
trot and Trilby Direct in the Cham

did not show anything of the kind. says
the indianapolis Journal. 1t was not
merely a partisan speech, but parti-

1900 he was often eloquent, as political

to high enthusiasm because he was ad-

honest and vicious it was, he thoroughly
believed in. He was not master of his

that his counsel will put in the de-
fenSe that the funds he is charged

'endant's counsel to make it appear

Press advices from Washington state
that Dr. Wiley, chemist in the agricul-
Dr wir.,sTo tural department, is
about to begin an
OF er interesting
test. This time the effect of tobacco
upon the human system will be investi-
gated As described in a dispatch, a
certain number of young men will be Sc
lected FOR the. experiment. These per-
sons will be given certain allowances Of
tobacco of various grades and qualities
and designed for varying uses. Exam
nations and conditions will be made
and enforced, intended to make the re-
suits as reliable as possible. Work along
this line of investigation follows the
idea embodied in the tests recently CON
cluded with II young men to determine
the effects of certain food adulterants
The idea of the experiment is intensely
practicable. 1t only remains to see if it
is possible to secure reliable results. In
a considerable measure any reliable in
formation that will develop from the
data will be valuable to the government
in promoting its work in developing and
growing the tobacco plant. Added to
this there will be a certain amount of in
formation forthcoming to the general
public that will be interesting, to say the
least, and possibly facts that will be pro-
ductive of some notable results.

PROMINENT BROKERS FAIL.
Great Excitement on the Stock Ex-
change Caused by the Suspension of
Taylor 81 Co. and stowe a. Co.

New York, July 25.-The announce
ment on the stock exchange late Fri
day of the suspension of the firms of
Talbot j. Taylor & Co. and of w. L.
Stowe q Co. was the sequel to n
period of excited selling of stocks and
wide cuts in prices which has not
been equalled before since the pres
ent movement to liquidation. There
is nothing in either failure that can
be traced to business or industrials
or outside the exchange, the case
lying close to a diagnosis of specu-
lative collapse. Both firms have been
largely concerned in speculative mar
ket pools, formed for the purpose of
taking on line of stock, sustaining
their price by supporting orders real
or manipulative and seeking to real
ize profits by selling out to outsiders
at high prices.
No statement of Taylor & Co.'s as
sets and liabilities has been made,
but from the president of a leading
national bank it is learned that the
liabilities may be well on to $6,O0O,0 900.
Estimates of the Stowe company's
liabilities range from $1,25O,OOO to
$500, 900.

running COUNTRY STORES.
Rural Free Delivery Mating Farmers
Too Lazy TO Can at the Grocery.


There comes plaintive wall from
the keepers of country stores in
small bergs and crossroad hamlets of
Livingston county, New Yorn, against
the rural free delivery OF mails. The
storekeepers say that the free
delivery system is making the farmer
lazier every day, while it is doing
much to drive the country store out
of existence.
They say that under the influence
of the free-delivery system the farm
er no longer bitches up his horses to,
come down to the post office; that
he gets his mail dumped at his door,
and as a consequence of this in
lquitous system" the grangers no
longer go to their former gathering
places nor spend their spare cash
with the storekeeper, as they were
wont to do in the good old tines
before the gaudy mail wagon made
its daily rounds.
The storekeepers have also con-
ceived a special grievance over a re-
cent order promulgated by the post
Office department instructing post
masters throughout the country to
prepare lists of the rural free-deliv-
cry routes and post them in conspicu-
Gus places in their Offices.
