INTERVENTION IN FAR EAST.
Subject Is Taken Up by the Interpar

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept 13.-The inter-
parliamentary union took up in earn
est today the important matters before
it. 1t was planned by the executive
council to present to the conference
three of the six important resolutions
ures had to do with Intervention in
the Russo-Japanese war, international
agreement and the calling of another
session of the conference held at The

sessed the most far reaching possi-
bilities. 1t had already caused heated
debate in the council and it's phrase
ology was decided upon only after a
compromise in which American word

THE twelfth nterparliamentary
conference, composed of representa-

its respectful and cordial salutations to

AN ICE WAR HERE.
Rival Companies Make the Product
Cheap.

The ice rate war which is now on
between the Peoples Ice company and
the Seymour company threatens to be
of some duration. The Seymour COM
pany began selling ice two days go
for Is cents per hundred pounds to
butchers. 20 cents to drugstores and
family trade, and 25 cents to stands
which buy in small quantities. This
was from to 10 cents lower than
the price of the Peoples Ice COM
pany. The latter concern according
~ cut its rate square in half, making
price of 10 cents for butchers, and
20 cents for general family use.
A request for a statement from the
Seymour company brought this an
swer: 1--WE are manufacturing ice and
are selling it at the rate which was in
force some years ago. We can make
it and make money at the price at
which we are now putting it on the
market. The Peoples Ice company
don't bother us any. We are going
right ahead and sell our product"
C. H. A. Swartz, manager of the
Peoples Ice company said as follows
in regard to the war: THE Seymour
company wanted us to buy the ice
which it is manufacturing. We
couldn't accept their rates. So they
Immediately slashed prices, selling at
different rates all over the city. They
jumped into part of our trade. We
accordingly cut our prices right in
half and we intend to fight this thing
out. 1t may last a long while, but we
will stay with it

THE INVALUABLE DAILY PAPER

IFrom the Hartford Post.l
At no time is the value of the daily
paper more apparent to the thinking
person than during the political cam
paign such as it now interesting the
American people.
The daily paper takes the place of
oratory that formerly was such a con-
spicuous feature of the presidential con-
test.
The speakers take a part. but it is
a comparatively minor one, and the
same statement may be truthfully
made of the parades and torchlight pro-
cessions.
The partisan may desire to see his
side represented as being beyond crit
icism and the other side as having no
per will appeal.
But the independent voter-the man
who is tied to no political party is
abroad in the land. He is growing
more numerous every day and every
year. He it was that decided the cleo
ton in 1892 and he again elected Nc
KinIey four years later To him the
independent daily paper makes a direct
appeal
The average American citizen reads
his paper with care and forms his
opinions-not in the excitement of the
hastings. but in the serenity of his
home. His paper gives him the issues
freed from fringe or any sort of orna-
mentation-
With his mind at ease. he has only
to read and digest the reports upon
both sides of the questions to deter
mine which is best for his own inter-
ests and those of the country.
The independent paper gives the
news. not one side but of both political
parties. In other words, it places the
facts before the readers, and the read
ers can and will do the rest.

No great keenness of perception is
required to observe that a decided i'm
pTovement in confidence has taken place
during the past two or three months,
say Henry Clews & Cos Financial Re
view Continuing the Review says:
This has been due, of course. partly
TO a natural reaction from the extreme
depression which ushered in the current
year. but mainly to an actual better
ment of conditions. chief of which is the
passing of any serious uncertainty re-
garding the crops. OF all factors in the
situation much the most important is
that we are now gathering an abundant
and profitable harvest; not quite so
abundant as at one time expected. yet
sufficiently so to secure our agricul-
turists another prosperous year. 1t
makes one shrink to think what might
have happened mad this been a year of
crop failures. succeeding the series of
disasters which began in 1902 and con-
tinued through 1908. The good harvests
of the current year have not only saved
the country from a fresh outbreak of
liquidation but have really gone long
way towards restoring the countrys
finances and industries TO position of
normal soundness and stability.

The Wrong Pole.

"Some men seem to have such luck,
you know" sighed the passenger with
the double chin.
CT was a member of a Polar sea
expedition twenty years ago. and
when we got back home I had much
to tell 1 never got but one good
chance to talk. however, and then l
had hardly begun to tell of the big
icebergs and the intense cold when a
dinky little chap stepped in and began
to talk about the alligators he had
seen at the south pole"
but there are no alligators at the
south pole"
"Of course not, but that was where
his luck came in. He was talking to a
lot of lawyers and doctors, and they
didn't know at which pole alligators
rested"
