"AS BOLD AS A LION"
Rather Say Bold as "a Partridge AZ
You Would BE Exact.

The only explanation of the adage,
AS bold as 4 lion" is that the lions
magnificent. muscular body. his noble
head, great name, the fact that he is a
wild beast and-still more probably
his deep thrOated roar that sounds so
extraordinarily bold have made him
feared for generations. But the lion
belongs TO the family of cats and is
not bold. To those who know best he
is not brave even in the hour of dan
ger. The lioness. who is smaller. less
terrible TO look upon and is without a
name. is brave in defense OF her young
but she. too. is not bold. She is merely
holder than the lion. In comparison
with any animal that can face danger
and fight fair the lion is a coward.
To prove ii let us see for a moment
how it is that the lion chooses to hunt
his prey.

the prices of twenty are unchanged
from those of the previous month. the

These facts from these great trade

show that the protected trusts have
such a tight grip upon production and
prices that they have both their EN-

putting down wages. High tariff dU-
ties on goods give them 4 monopoly il

migrants last year make labor plenti-

dictate the prices for labor.

and always has been very one sided
protection. 1t means for the manufac-

these facts and the general depression
in industry that Mr.. John Mitchell adj
vised the United Mine Workers to vote
I'm favor of the acceptance of a 51h per
cent reduction in wages. This the near
ly 100000 miners have just done re
garlless of the fact that the cost of
living is now much higher than ever
before.
Many other similar facts could be
cited TO the same effect. Thus, in New
York city, where tens of thousands OF
workers are now idle, rents for houses,
tenements and flats have this year been
advanced an average of about 10 per
cent Rents in other cities have prob
ably risen CORRESPONDENCE. They rise
because the cost of constructing build
ings has for two or three years been at
the highest point known and has re-
strictcd the supply of buildings.
1t is certain that the full dinner
pail argument during the coming pres
idential election will sound hollow and
empty and will fall fiat on the ears of
the workers. VIII the resOurceful Re

The folk who live on the outskirts of

Who knows but that his heart goes

India and of Africa know, however,
that they can brighten away thieving
