The Boston Pilot must look sharp

steal its thunder. The latter paper
was nicely concealed in Sunday pa
pers yesterday and sent broadcast

ing or wholesome. Wonder what
Editor Bennett and Editor Hearst
will say when they find out that the
Irish World was issued as a sort Of
supplement to their papers yesterday.
The Pilot and Irish World can now
shake hands across the chasm. Both
of them are in the same band wagon,
having turned their coats. They are
a nice pair to be telling free American
citizens how they shall vote. If they
are getting well paid for it, perhaps
it may, in their opinion, act as
balm. But they shouldn't try to use
the regulations of honorable men nor
the papers that they built up as a
means to convert voters to the repub-
lican party.

Speaking Of the three-quarter sized
dinner pail. which is pretty difficult to
keep filed in its reduced size, it must
be remembered that wages have not
changed materially one way or the
other. Workers draw about the same
pay as they did, but the rents for ten
ements have gone up, and the loaves
of bread are smaller. With the trusts
the statisticians place the burden of
responsibility for advances made on
necessities. They point out these as
some of the reasons why $1,17O buys
to-day what $1,000 did a few years
ago. A combination of packers has
formed a beef trust, which has prac-
tiaclly put the western farmers at it's
mercy and dictates the price of meat.
The packers also control the price of
eggs. The formation of the National
Salt Co under the trust laws of New
Jersey, controlling 90 per cent of the
salt plants of the United States, was
Immediately followed by an increase
in fine salt from 50 cents to $1.50. The
formation of the National Carpet trust
resulted in gradual increase in prices
until soon the public was paying 20

mills in the eastern and middle states
are controlled by the combination. 1t
operates in harmony with the wool
trust. The Wire and Nail trust, the
Chemical trust, the Lumber trust and
the Iron and Steel trusts have made
it more expensive to erect residences,
stores, flats and hotels, and therefore
figure well up in the factors RESPONSE
bic for the cost of living. Just why
these trusts are responsible is seen
after a moments reflection The dry
goods Or department store, at which
the laborer's wife buys few yards of
cloth, is forced to charge her a trife
more because of the operations of
Chemical trust has increased the prices
of the dye-stuffs used in coloring the
cloths The Lumber trust has added
its mite to the prices of the pine
boards out of which the packing case
in which the cloth is shipped is con-
structed. The Wire Nail trust has add
ed something to the cost Of the nails
with which the boards are fastened to-
gether. The Nail trust makes this in
crease partly for its own profit and
partly to cover the incre Use charged
by the Steel trust for the raw material.
The iron bands, which are nailed
around the packing case to strengthen
it, cost trifle more than they former
~ did. In addition to these the opera
tons Of the Wool or Cotton Mill trust
have contributed their share toward
raising the price. Stoves and kitchen
materials have increased about so per
cent The Coal trust has made stiff

sary things in life the production of

Fine old Thomas Hunter has been
at the head Of a great eastern normal
school for half a century or more. He
knows about women-their hopes,
their plans, and about where they will
land. why shouldn't he? There are
close to 5000 girls in his school, and
the graduating class this year NUM-
bered 400. The old man has followed
the careers of hundreds Of "his girls,
and from the depth Of his wisdom
comes the statement that the higher
education is in no way a bar to matri-
mnnv and does not unfit a woman for
wifehood. He says that the brightest
and most efficient marry soonest-not
the dullest. That sounds good-it
sounds true And it is hard to believe
that there are people who object to
educated women. declaring that it
makes them feel above the station that
they will probably have to occupy
through life, says the Cincinnati Post.
The average man admires intelligence
and brightness in woman. 1t pleases
him to realize that he has a smart
wife, and In thousands of homes it is
the woman who is the mans counselor,
even dn matters Of business He makes
wise use of the things she acquired in
school. and he turns to her for the in
formation that he was too busy to ac-
auire or lacked the opportunity to
learn in his younger days. There are
thousands of mothers who are the tu-
tors of their children. They help
solve the hard problems; they assist
daughter with her music, and when
the children reach the high-school age
it is mother who turns light on the
puzzles and serves as a guide all the
wav from fractions to algebra. If a
woman has to work, education will
help her to a position that pays some
where nearly commensurate with her
| ability. If she doesn't have to work
and marries. the same education Is the
capital that she puts into the matri-
monial partnership, and 1t should not
be underestimate. Only a savage
would want a fool for wife. In

more to learn in conducting news

the unrestricted distribution Of unsold

Generally speaking, it is not true
that large number Of American

Chasing up the flying foe.

And prepares a pot of tea.

On the cruisers of the czar,
All his big and burly sailors
Gather round the samovar.
And, before the silver trumpets
Call to death or victory,
Fortify their gallant spirits
With draft OF steaming tea
For the hand that's always sober
Is the surest in its aim
And will reach the highest laurels
Growing on the heights Of fame.
