Distribution in the Cities
is Increased.
TRADES NOT THE SAME
That is, Though Business is improving
and the Weeks Events Are Favor
able, the First Quarter
Ran Behind That of
Last Year.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

New York, April S-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Events OF the week have, for the most
part, been favorable. Weather conditions
generally have been spring-lke except
in some portions of the Northwest. This
has increased retail distribution in the
cities, while in the country districts fa-
vorable weather has helped farmers in
their planting preparations and i'm
proved the condition of winter wheat. The
breaking up of country roads. however,
tends to retard the sale and distribution
of merchandise, lumber and other pro-
ducts. Wholesale and iobbing distribu-
tions have been helped in tone rather
than in volume by the Improvement in
weather and in retail trade In two OF
the leading industries iron and steel and
lumber, the resumption of outdoor spring
activities is helping distribution. Soft
coal industry has also improved now
that fear of a general strike is removed,
but thousands Of Iowa miners are idle,
owing to disputes. Collections, as yet,
do not reflect much, if any Improvement.
and in common with trade itself, are
especially backward in sections OF the
Middle West where recent floods have
done damage.
All measures of trade activity prove
the first quarter 10 have run behind a
year ago. Failures exceed those in 1903
by par cent. in number, though per
cent. less than in 1902. Liabilities exceed
a year ago by 20 per cent, and, owing
to bank suspensions, are the heaviest
since 1897. The labor situation is bet
ter than it was a week ago but still
retains a mettled appearance.
Cotton goods demand as for some time
past, is backward, and this is reflected
in curtailment of print cloth mills at
Fall River and Of spinning and weaving
machinery at other centers.
business failures in the United States
number 201, against 153 in the like week
in 1903.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A BEAUTY

A woman who has issued invitations
for what she calls "beauty' luncheon
claims that fine eyes are the first re
quisite in beauty.
Next in her list comes the contour
of the face. and after that i'll the given
Gr;ier come mouth, coloring, ma&ne-
Fisnl. These, she says, are the five
eecessary ingredients in the making
If beauty.
Personally. do not agree with her
IN her selection of the first quality.
To be beauty one must. of course,
have fine eyes. but the main feature
of he face is the mouth. 1t is said
that the woman whose eyes have
awakened our love inspires us with
enthusiasm, eXalts us, throws us into
an intellectual ecstasy: but she whose
mouth fascina,es us twines us round.
binds us. belongs to us already. fhe
eve is the azure of heaven TO which
none NAV attain: the mouth is the
earth with irs perfumes, its ardors. /!
the eve is the most expressive part OF
the face. the mouth is the most SYM
pathetic.
In The Hrst case you arc awed by
admiration: in the second yon sln'-
plv "eanot help loving her.

trre of beauty it frequently lasts ONLY

this country is a free press, and the
press cannot be free if controlled by
it's advertising columns or by financial
interests which seek to use it for their
own advantage regardless OF the pup
lie welfare
Colorado will never resume normal
conditions until her citizens come to
see as plainly as it appears to those
far removed from the scene OF contest
that both the lawlessness OF the strlk-
ers and the suspension of law by civil
and military authorities, both BOY
cotting by labor and coercion by cap

BOYCOTTlNG A NEWSPAPER

BoycGttlnS d newspaper is another
phase OF the unhappy conditions in
Colorado They seem to be going
from bad to worse i'll the Centennial
state. Wrong and injustice by leg
islature lead to wrong and injustice
by d labor organization, which later
on lead to wrong and injustice by or
ganized employers. To such an eX-
tent has this lawlessness prevailed in
all classes that an association of mer
chants has been led into the wrong
the policy OF newspaper by 'keans
OF a boycott. says the Wilkesbarre
Pa. Times.
Possibly the Rocky Mountain News
of Denver has offended greatly, both
editorially and in it's presentation of
news. the Citizens alliance and an
noyed the citizens of Denver and
caused them to be diSpleased with its
policy. but hat has nothing to do with
the issue at stake What we desire to
draw attention 70 is the use OF the
boycOtt to force the newspaper ta fol
low in tha path prescribed by Us adj
vertisers.
An association of merchants in Den
yer has voted to withdraw its pat
ronase from the Rocky Mountain
News. and many merchants have done
so. 1t does not appear that they have
done this from a purely business con
siaeration. They have not ceased tc
advertise because advertising did not
nay, but because they hoped by with
drawal of their advertising to force
the paper to do as they wished. That
in it's essence, is absolutely as much
a method of coercion RS if labor or
ganization should command its mem
bers to refrain from purchasing mer
chandise from certain merchants be
cause they sold nonunion goods.
The boycott is as reprehensibl'
when employed by merchants as wher
employed by labor unions. There is
absolutely no difference in principle
and no difference in the results. i
is bad altogether. Advertising shoult
be strictly a matter of business. 4
should be neither an instrument O
force nor of favor. 1t is equally baf
for a newspaper to attempt to drive
business men to advertise by threats
of using it's columns to the detrimen1
of their business and for advertisers
to attempt to control the policy OF the
newspaper by giving or Withholding
their advertisement. The greatest
safeguard for liberty and justice in

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The dark side of stage life was dIvulged

IN charge by policeman on 5th avenue
New York. few days ago. The officer
was passing the Holland House when he
saw the man. apparently very i'll. leaning
on the ratings. When asked what was the
matter. the old man said he was sick and
would like to go to the hospital. The police
man summoned an ambulance
The stranger said that he was sixty
years of age. and had been leading M n
for Clara Morris and dozen other act
resses of ability; that he had had companies
of his own and much money. but that
money. friends and caste had been lost
years ago.
What's your name? he was asked
The old man looked around to the re-
porters.
Are these gentlemen newspaper men?"
he asked.
Yes" said the sergeant
My name is John Doe" said the old
man. Then he became so weak the police
man had to help him to chair. When the
ambulance arrived the surgeon said the
OLD man was starving. but would be all
right in a week or So
