MARIETTA DEFEATS
PARKERSBURG AGAIN

The attendance was much larger
than it was the preceding day, and
will no doubt be larger this after
noon. 1t is the opinion of the
baseball people here that the Mar
ietta team is the best in many
ways. Some of the Parkersburg
team are good players, and play
ball all the time, but there are
some players on the team that
seem to never fail to make bad
plays at the proper time to let the
other fellows score. Pearson, of
the Parkersburg team, was the ia
vorite with the bleachers yester-
day. He made two twO-baggers
and nice single hit every time
he went to the bat. He played an
errorless game, and played ball all
the time. Bero made bad and fa-
tai errors, and so did others. They
are playing today and it's dollars
to doughnuts Marietta wins again.

The second game between the
Parkersburg and Marietta teams
resulted in a second defeat for the
"midgets>" The game was very
exciting, and it took ten innings
to decide it. Marietta made the
first score in the third inning, and
Parkersburg scored twice in the
fourth. Marietta scored again in
the fifth and Parkersburg did
likewise. The score then stood 3
to 2 in favor of Parkersburg until
the ninth inning, when Marietta
made 2 runs and Parkersburg l
tying the score to 4. Then the
balloon went up. Marietta team
commenced to bat, and in its half
of the tenth inning made four
runs. Parkersburg failed to
score, and the game ended with
the score s to 4 in favor of Mar
ietta.

TRUSTS AND WAGES

supply, but arbitrarily by combi-
nations of capital which exact
from the consumer a price fixed
regardless of market conditions.
The arbitrary price for the pro-
duet would result in the arbitrary
wage were it not for the efforts Of
the lbor organizations of the coun-
try.
On the other hand, the farmer
today fixes his price not according
to the size of his crops and the
demand for the same, but in ac-
cordance with prices of prod
ucts arbitrarily fixed by trusts
which control them. To illustrate !:
The price of beef is fixed by the
Beef trust, and in consequence the
price of all meats is made to con-
form thereto. The high price of
beef, mutton, pork, poultry, eggs
and butter, all Of which are con-
trolled by combinations of capital,
results in a larger demand for
other articles of food, and the
price of each rises in sympathy.
The prices of food today are as ar
bitrarily fixed by trusts and COM
binations of capital as wages
would be provided organized la
Dor did not resist.
The whole proposition of wages
and high prices is resolved down
to this: That no higher wage is
paid than capital is compelled to
pay, no matter what the value
of labor to products; the prices of
food, clothing and fuel are arbi-
trarily fixed just so high as trusts
and combinations of capital be-
lieve the consumer can stand.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-06-11

The wealthy capitalists and
trust manipulators argue that it is
far better for all concerned when
high prices are paid for food pro-
ducts, provided wages are proper
tionately high and employment
is general. 1t is also claimed by
them that the farmer who gets
good prices for his products can
afford to buy more of the pro-
ducts of other labor, and at higher
prices. If so, it must follow that
when the farmer gets low prices
for his products he cannot afford
to purchase largely the products
of other labor, and as a cOnse-
quence the wages of other labor
must fall. 1t would appear,
therefore, that the capitalists or
trusts, have undertaken briefly to
explain the difference between
"good times" and "hard times"
in this country, as well as to sat
isfy labor concerning the high
prices which are now demanded
for food.
All this might be true providing
the law on supply and demand
were freely operative, but it is
not. Wage is fixed today not by
the demand for, and supply of la
Dor, but by the proftableness OF
the employment of labor as meas
ured by the price of the products
of labor. In other words, the en-
ployer pays high or a low wage
according to his profit on the pro-
ducts which he manufactures and
sells in the open market. This
price is fixed not by demand and

Tuesday Judge II. NJ. Willis Of
the Circuit court, entered an order
authorizing the Ohio Valley Foun-
dry company, Of Paden City, to
issue $4,000 worth Of receivers
certificates. This means the early
completion of the steel plant at
Paden City and the giving Of the
town an impetus that will be OF
great advantage to this city and
this immediate part Of the Ohio
Valley.
The plant when completed will
give employment to about 75O
men, and upon its completion de-
pends the erection of a foundry to
furnish the plant with castings.
The steel mill will manufacture
steel bars and steel cars and car
wheels.
The issuing of the receivers
certificates places the company in
a splendid financial condition to
carry on it's business. About $780,
600 is required to complete the
plant and the houses for the men
that will be employed in the
plant. There was a subscription
for the stock of $4,000 condition
on the completion Of the plant.

STEEL PLANT TO
BEssCOMPLETED

It's completion will thel efore give
the concern a working capital Of
the $4,000 remaining from the
receivers certificates and the $780,
900 condition on it's completion,
making a total of $4,000.
The certificates as issued are
first lien upon the property of
the company, and it was neces-
sary to secure the consent of all
the creditors Of the concern be-
fore Judge Willis would authorize
the issuing of the receivers Ger
tifcates. In the order entered it
is required that at least $40, 900
of the certificates be disposed of
before the receiver shall 60 to
work. There is no question but
what the entire $4,000 of the GER
tifcates will be readily taken on
the market.
Much of the predicted prosper
ity of Paden City was dependent
upon the steel plant and the news
that arrangements have been
made for the completion of the
plant will be welcome to those
who have justly pinned their faith
to the industrial city.-Wetzel

Views the Stolen Cope.

One of Cardinal Aanutellis last acts in London
before returning to Rome to visit the South
Kensington museum. His emnence wished to in
spect there the wonderful bishops cope of the thr
teenth century, which was presented to the cathe-
dral of Ascoli-Piceno, Italy, by Pope Nicholas w.
The cope had been venerated and admired for seven
hundred years, when it was stolen from the cathe-
dral year ago.
Cardinal Vanuteli identified the cope. Pier
pont Morgan bought the cope some time ago and
lent 1t to the museum for exhibition He did not
know the vestments history, and of course was ig-
norant of the circumstances under which it was
offered to him. Equally of course he realized its
marvellous artistic beauty SO he bought it.
Cardinal Vanutelli identified the cope and con-
1irmed the statement that it had beeen stolen. lie
wanted to meet Mr. Morgan, but the fnancier and
art patron was in the United States. Catholic au-
thort1es III London and Rome are certain Mr. Nor
gan will restore the vestnent to the owners and
custodisns Indeed, it is reliably reported that the
moment Mr. Morgan learned that the cope belonged
to the cathedral he gave assurance that he would
return it there

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

"Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Once in the long ago time, Aunt Busy had some
nieces and nephews in the beautiful city of Ogden
She is at present very anxious to know if Ogden
is still on the map of Utah She is also anxiously
wondering if Ogden has a postofice yet. For
many months past she has not received a letter
from there. How she has missed the letters, no
one knows but herself. Perhaps the dear girls and
boys viii begin to think of Old Aunt Busy now
that they are in school again. The Eureka chill
dren do not write often and it has been many
months since the Wyoming children sent any
words of greeting.
There are many dear girls and boys in Montana,
Idaho, Colorado and Nevada who have not written
for many months. Then there arc the dear little
Moraritys of Omaha, who used to send such pretty
stories Dear little Jessie Reichle, away in north
em Montana has not written for year Richard
Murphy of Pocatcllo has evidently forgotten that
he ever heard of Aunt Busy. Perhaps he has
reached the high collar" stage of existence. if
Aunt Busy does not hear very shortly from Idaho
she will write her troubles to Rev. Father Mooney.
If she ever hears from the Park City children
she is afraid her funny old teeth viii fall out with
surprise
Now that school has begun there is much inter
csing news to write and Aunt Busy really thinks
She has been neglected this past summer. So wait
ing and hoping to hear from you all. she remains
afcctionately yours, AUNT BUSY.

Catholic Responsibility.

Catholics have the greatest responsibilities
and by those responsibilities they are to stand out
from the world by their lives; out from the world
like true men and women who are animated with
the spirit of God. To stand out frenl the crowd
by your virtue, by your uprghtness, by your hon
esty and justice in dealings, by the integrity of
your lives in politics, everywhere that man may
live and it there should shine; having the virtues
OF the Christian man, then you would be an apostle
and they would come and ask you, what is it that
man."
And you could say sweetly and humby: ct is
because | am a Christian and a Catholic. | be-
ieve in God, believe in His Divine Son, who be-
came incarnate for me, and | believe, | pray, and
try to live under the inspiration of the Spirit Of
God try to make my life supernatural life and
use all things of this world in view to my eternal
end."-Western Waterman.

In this connection the statistics of the United
States Bureau of Education and the list of 10000
successful men in 'Whos Who!" are of decided
interest.
The bureau estimates that. of the 14,794,403
males over 80 years of age i'll this country. 1,151-
OBS are without education 12054,335 have had only
a common school education its equivalent, CO..
1872 have received high school training i'll addl-
ton, and 325,613 have had college education.
The brief biographies in who's Who." afford
an opportunity for comparison. Of the 10000 men
mentioned not enrolled himself in the first
class-the 1,757,O23 without education, From the
second class came 1868, or one for every 9,812.
From class three came 1,627 or one for every 404,
and from class four 100, or one for every -.
The conclusions drawn by the compiers of the
statistics are that the boy of no education has
hardly a.chance of honorable distinction; that the
common school gives one chance in 5000; that
high school course increases the boys chances y,
and that the college gives the young man
10 times the chance of high school boy and 200
times the chance of the lad whose training stops
with the common school
These figures show very plainly that education
pays by increasing the young mans chances of
success, and also that the future business man of
the United States is to be a man of college educa
ton Thus the much-vexed question of whether
a college education fits or. units for a business
career would seem to be settled.
