Awarning From Wealth.

The New York Post recently.
printed an editorial entitled mo
nopoly and Socialism. The editor of
the Post speaks Of the action of the
socialists in hailing "a leading Wall
street organizer as fellow-worker
in agood cause" and points out that
there is really more truth than irony
in it. The extortion Of gas, water and
lighting companies did more to
accelerate the movement in favor of
municipal ownership than all the
abstract arguments that could have
been made. And SO Morgan, Hill and
other railroad magna.4 have done
more to create the sentiment in favor
of the government ownership Of rail-
roads than either the populist or
the socialist party. The Post points
the truth none too strongly when it
says:
"The destroyers Of competition are
the real enemies of our existing
social system. It's they that indi-
vidualists have to dread more than
the street t-corner orator, or the peddler
of socialistic literature, or the foreign
enthusiasts who have come here to
organize American workingmen for
the coming revolution. Those
republican senators who are SO
disturbed at the growth Of the So
cialist vote would do we'll to look
first to some Of their own associates
and their own methods. Every man
who works to createa monopoly or
who, in its name, exacts the utter
most farthing, is the most dangerous
propagator Of socialism known to-
day"
It is time that the republicans who
hayebeenb blindly followingtheir lead
ers should consider the question, SIS
competition an evil or good?"
They cannot support monopolies
without believing that competition
is an evil, and the moment they
decide that monopoly is good they
are FACE to face with a choice between
government monopoly and a private
monopoly.
On the other hand, if the republi.
cans decide that competition is good
then they must exert themselves tc
| protect it, for competition is being
| fast destroyed by organized and. con
centrated wealth. The democratic
party has declared that private
monopolies are indefensible and in
tolerable; will the republicans take
the same position, or will the,
hasten the issue between public ane
private monopolies by permitting thu
Industries Of the country to be gath
!, cred into few hands?
! The democratic party has beer
the champion of competition where
> competition is possible, but it cal
never be the champion of privat,
. monopolies, for to champion privat'
monopolies would simply be to turr
the people over tothe tender mercie
of the greedy and the avaricious.
When a paper like the Post,
thick and thin advocate of tn
moneyed classes, begins to see dan
ger in the rapid growth towar'
private monopolies tits time that th
republican organs in the rural dis
tricts sound a warning to thei
party, The Commoner.

Don't think you can walk just any
old way in your short skirt, for you
cant-that is. If you want to win the
coveted appellation Smart" AT least,
those who study the art of dress say
SO. These critics aver that the short
skirted girl must study seriously the
matter of her gait, for it is Of far more
moment than when wearing longer
skirts. The steps should be small and
regular They say that the Spaniards
attach ribbon to each garter to keep
their pace even and regular. Be this
taken for what 1t is worth. there is no
doubt that Spanish ladies have most
graceful walk and carriage. The

short skirts and is wholly responsible

The Parasol.

1t is not economy, though 1t may
seem so, to combine the use of rain
umbrella and sunshade in one e-article.
A manufacturer Of umbrellas points
out thatSit is re oil in the silk which
continues its ar. When that is dried
out, the material cracks and is useless.
The suns heat obviously. therefore, is
not desirable and should be kept from
good umbrella. A cheap ponsee or
silk and linen parasol may better be
bought, as 1t will mean perhaps year
more wear for the more expensive rain

instance, us crude cotton seed oil;
which is an ingredient, and when
not refined gives the desired butter

powder and siftit through fine piece
of muslin, then rub into 1t two drains
of powdered orris root and perfume it
with few drops of oil Of lemon, laven-

To treat the skin with lemon Juice
take one pint Of hot water and add to
1t teaspoonful of powdered borax. To
this add the juice Of half lemon.
Use sponging lotion for the skin. Let
1t dry on, but wash off after fifteen
minutes or so. This will prove very
whitening. If there are deep, yellow
spots the clear lemon can be applied,
but 1t should be tried first with caution,
as every skin will not bear the clear,
strong lemon.

women and Newspaper WORE.


A well known western newspaper
woman gives the following bit of ad-
vice to an inquirer who asks about
newspaper work as profession for
woman: ut all depends upon whether
you can readily adapt yourself to the
business and whether you have some
natural talent for scribbling. For
those to whom writing is painful,
laborious task newspaper work is any
thing but pleasant. But if you are
the sort that can write anything at any
time without waiting for muse to
push you along you will find the work
fascinating in the extreme. There is
much that is drudgery; there is much
that is exhilarating and inspiring. Peo-
pie who have been in it for many
years keep up a perpetual growl. but
couldn't possibly be induced to break
away from the jolly world Of pot boil
ers. If you are strong and well, can
stand long hours of work, do not think
you are glowing genius, don't cry
over every trivial disappointment and
know little something about spelling
and composition, make try. Write
something and send itin. That is the
only way now that the field is so
| frightfully crowded"

Protect the Birds.

b
The work done by the birds is
something enormous. For example,
a few years ago Prof. F. E. L. Beal
Investigated the food habits of west
ern birds; he examined thestomachs
Of many tree sparrows, and deter
mined that each bird consumed a
quarter Of an ounce Of weed seed
each day; upon this basis, making a
fair allowance Of the number thirds,
to square mile, he calculated that,
in the state Of Iowa alone, the tree
sparrow annually destroys about l.
10000 pounds OF about S75 tons of
weed seed. The farmer who has a
hard struggle against weeds with the
birds assisting him may reflect what
would be his plight if the birds were
banished.
Each species of the helpful birds
seems appointed to the doing Of
special task. Owls and hawks-the
varieties which do not attack the
barnyard or insectivorous birds
keep down mice and other small
mammal, rabbits, crayfsh, frogs etc.
To abate the pest Of ground squirrels,
which has so injured southern Cali
fornia, the Rougl eg has been
brought in. Our friends, the wood
peckers, keep down wood-boring in
sects and ants, which otherwise
would destroy orchards, while robins
and bluebirds never see a noxious
weed or insect but they pounce upon
it. Who has not seen the little
chickadee busily at work at his task
| of eating bark lice and insect eggs?
The robin and the cherry bird may
sometimes tax patience by the way
they 60 after ripening fruit, but the
experienced orchardist knows, even
in the prairie west, that the birds
will not take tame fruit if they can
get wild, SO he borders his orchard
with wild fruit shrubs such as the
shade bush or the mountain ash.
