and unfortunate that the convention
adopted It, AS a matter of fact, the
republican party does not believe, and
never has believed. in such thing as
''the restoration Of silver as ultimate
money to the currency of the world or
that such restoration is absolutely
necessary for business prosperity, proper
rates of wages and the welfare Of the
people," What did tho committee mean?
Did they not know that in demanding
"the restoration Of silver as ultimate
money to the currency Of the world they
are demanding the single silver standard
pure and simple y and the shrink
ing of the value Of currency to the mar
ket value of silver bullion? Does the re-
publican party believe In the single silver
standard? ~.~@ -&
1t is very unfortunate that the COM
mittee allowed some trimmers to get in
their work on the platform and make the
document utterly misrepresent the great
republican party, which has always main
tanned the credit Of the nation.
T h o urn a believes in and ad-
vocates republican principles, but it
IS no party organ and does not wish to
be so regarded. But it's republicanism
proves to have been made Of better
stuff on that occasion ten years ago
than that Of some Of the weakened
republican platform builders, eor -even
that OF the republican state conven-
ton which adopted a silver plank; and
we are quite willing now to abide the
verdict Of time and experience on the
wisdom and justification of our re-
fusal to subordinate our judgment In
this matter of fit candidate for gov
ernor to the action Of a convention
which we believe to have been de-
ceived in part, and In part improperly
Influenced.

late Firm.

The cocoa and chocolate factory of
Walter Baker & Co., Ltd, was estab-
lished 124 years ago on the Neponset
river, in the old town Of Dorchester,
now a part of Boston. One of the big
mills of the present corporation oc-
cupies the site on which the first choc-
olate mill in North America was erect
ed, in 1865, and which, fifteen years
later, came into the possession of DR..
James Baker, the founder of the pres
ent house. He was succeeded by his
son Edmund and later by his grand
son Walter, under whose name the
business has ever since been conduct
ed. On the death OF Walter, it came
under the management of his grand
nephew, Henry l.. Pierce, first as
lessee, and later as sole owner. Dur
ing the forty-two years in which he
had control he raised it from COM
paratively small, local concern to the
position Of the leading industrial en-
terprise Of it's kind on this continent.
The history of the house is a re-
markable one. 1t has had a career of
uninterrupted prosperity from the
start. The business has been pushed
in conservatively progressive way,
the machinery and products being
kept fully UP TO the requirements Of
the times. While the company has
had to contend in these later days
courts as unfair competition" it has
maintained the high standards which
were adopted at the start
Up to about the year 1876, the adj
vertising was restricted almost wholly
to the Boston papers and to exhibits
at international and local expositions.
The business had then reached o point
where in order to maintain, in the face
of the keen competition which had set
in, the steady increase which had
marked it's progress thus far, it was
necessary to use the press in a wider
field. The general advertising was
placed for some years through an
agency, but about ten years ago an
advertising department was orga nized
ard the business has since been placed
direct with the publishers.
All advertising mediums have been
found of value; but the chief reliance
in securing VIDE general publicity
has been upon the newspapers and
magazines.
A large amount Of money has been
expended in advertising the business
during the past twenty-five years and
the results show conclusively that ju-
dicious advertising pays-and pays
well.
James M. Bugbee has been adver-
Using manager for the firm since 1890
and is a thoughtful, scholarly writer
as we'll as a keen and shrewd adver.
Using man. He has contributed
many essays and book reviews to the
leading magazines. Every newspaper
reader is familiar with the Baker
Chocolate GirP' and other clever and
attractive bits of Mr.. Bugbee's pub
licity.

Frank M. Eddy says he is not out Of

started. AS he is coming out in the open
In the role Of editor of the Sank Center
Herald, he will have a good vehicle to
promiilgate his ideas, which are in no wise
changed by the result of the state conven-
ton. In the last issue of the Herald he
says:
Notwithstanding it has been SO asserted, we
are not out Of politics. We intend to remain
In politics and work with voice and pen until
the principles we believe are for the best in
terests of the nation and state are written i'll
a republican platform and enacted into legisla-
ton. We are going to remain in politics until
a man can make canvass for the highest Office
in the gift of the state on its merits, and with
out the expenditure of twenty times the salary
of the Office, and the establishment of full
fedged campaign five months before election.
We are going to remain in politics until dele
cations brought down on railway pass, in
the hands of man. like a carload of men
going out to work on railroad extension, will
be thrown out of convention, no matter whom
they support. We are going to remain in poll
tics until legislation is passed providing for a
judicial manner Of settling contests, especially
when such contests are vital to the actions OF
the convention. When these things have been
accomplished, we may so out of politics: not

Quitting the Air Castles.

There are signs that large investors
are growing tired of stock specula-
tons, and returning to more old-fash-
toned and substantial methods of get
ting returns for their money. Beyond
doubt, the business world has felt
some i'll effects from the great with
drawals Of capital needed to finance
the steel trust and other watered cor
porations. 1t will promote the general
welfare if some Of this capital returns
to normal channels.
The increase in building operations
this year Is an index to this change of
policy. Permits in twenty-three cities
for the month Of June represented a
total cost of $37,63G,O4S, which is AZ
per cent greater than the value of per-
mits issued in the same cities the
same month last year. The figures for
the six months ending June 80 show an
increase of more than $5,000,OOO over
the same interval in 1908, and this
increase has all come in the last quar-
ter. ."
One reason given for this showing,
which is rather remarkable for pres
idential year, is that labor troubles
are insignificant this year as compared
with last. However, there is another
reason operating in Minneapolis, and
doubtless in many other cities. Capt.
talists who have been deceived into
bad investments have been drawing
their money out, and are looking for
better places to put it, They find that
good and steady returns come from
real estate, so they are putting up
| stores, fiat buildings and residences
for sale or rent. -
Money invested in watered stock
does the country no good. 1t benefits
| no one but the inside ring that man
| ipulates the new stock issue. Money
| invested in real estate and improve
| ments is a direct stimulus to many i'm
portant industries, and the greater
part of it is spent for labor. 1t is a
welcome sign that betokens the re-
| turn of capital to the old channels.

Mistaken identity has secure place in
modern melodrama. In Anna, the ADJ
ventures, really a melodran1a told in mar
rative, there is the old story Of two sisters
who are wonderfully, fatally similar in
external appearance. But there the re-
semblance to other stories ceases. OF
course, the sisters are Numerically cp-
posite in character. But in this tale, the
good sister not only assumes the posi-
ton of the erring one. but also enters the
erring sisters forsaken environment.
The good sister is Anna, the erring one
Annabel The change in identity is as
sumed by Anna so that Annabel may
wash away the folly of her past and mar

enamored of the ideal which he thinks

Annabelc has been a singer in the music
halls in Paris. while Anna has been work
ing in a studio When the change in
identity Is assumed, Anna goes to Lon
don. Here she finds that there is nothing
that she can do to keep the wolf from the
door. She is too proud to accept help
from her sisters husband and decides
to take advantage Of the opportunity pre-
sented Of assuming the character Of cal
eide" which her sister had unprecedented
in the music halls of Paris. Her success
on the London stage is immediate and

pursuer who says he Is her husband.
t OF course, an unraveling of the com
plications comes about, but 1t Is from an
entirely different source than the reader

the story:
