Wages and Cost of Living.

The increased cost of living since
1897 is a sure sign of prosperity, ac-
eording to Secretary Shaw, but to
those who have to pay the bills it is a
very serious proposition. Wages ad-
Eanced somewhat from the lowest
point in 1897, but since 1892 have
again declined, although prices are
still at nearly the highest point. Lyman
w. Redington Of Vermont, speaking at
b meeting of the Commercial Travel
ers' League in New York, stated that
the increased cost of provisions since
1897 equalled 43 per cent. If any one
has had his wages increased since 1897
A3 per cent, he is lucky, but the Off
cial report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 1893 shows that the
greatest increase in wages of railroad
employees, excluding general officers,
from 1897 to 1903, was only Il per
cent. When the maximum increases
in wages is only one third of the in
creased cost Of living, it would be diff
cult to persuade anyone but Repubn-
can politician that the Dingley high
tariff law Is Of as much benefit to the
people as it has undoubtedly proved to
trusts and monopolies.

The old Lady and the Lawyer

A certain lawyer, famed for high
charges, had incurred the enmity of an
old lady on account of the same. WISH
ing to get even with him she consult
ed him about drafting her will. AS
she was very wealthy old lady with
out near relatives, she had many char
liable associations to benefit, and the
accurate draft of the will required
much patience, skill and time. Among
the provisions she made a generous be-
quest to this lawyer and nominated
him executor. After the execution of
the will she called for her bill, where
upon the lawyer, with the vision of
ample fees in the prospective settle
ment of the estate, and the memory OF
the generous bequest, told the old lady
that under the circumstances he should
charge nothing, but finally to satisfy
her business seruples, made out re-
ceipt in full to date for one dollar,
whereas the smallest sum he could
have properly charged would have
been one hundred dollars.
The old lady marched home with her
will, set herself to work, copied it out
carefully word for word, leaving out
the bequest to the lawyer and nom
mating a new executor.
In the course Of time she died. and
the disgust Of the lawyer at the con-
tents of the will was so great that he
inadvertently let out the secret, to the
huge delight of his brother lawyers

springs to the seat in front, and away
we speed as only a Russian "troika" can.

The Power of the Ballot.

The gross iniquity OF the protective
tariff system is that it allows the pro-
tected monopolies to collect from the
pockets Of the people six times the
amount that they pay to the govern
ment. While the tax collectors at the
custom houses collect on an average
about $15 from each family, the tax
collectors Of the trusts and combines
collect $94 average for each family.
If these trust collectors stood at the
doors Of the shops and stores and de-
manded this tax, but few of them
would escape being knocked down
with the clubs the people would carry
for that purpose. But the heads of the
100000 families, who are thus in
directly taxed. have a powerful club

Republic.
Openings in administrative bureaus
are plenty. But the administration
heads will not fill them till after cleo
ton. 1t is better to have lot of
Office seekers at the polls than one
Office holder-Seattle Times.
Cortelyou's gum-shoe method Of do
ing campaign business at national
headquarters is becoming a trihe
wearying to some of the older politi-
clans Of the brass band order, and one
of their number is reported to have ex-
pressed the wish that "some human
being would get human jag on and
come up here and break some of the

In 1896 the September election in
Vermont resulted i'll plurality of 49,
POI for the Republicans; in 1900 it
was 1892, and this year it is about
$1,000. In 1896 the September cleo
ton in Maine gave the Republicans
plurality of 4S,377; in 1900 it was 34,-
1872, and in 1904 it is $4,000. One can
draw his own deductions from these
igures.-Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
At last we get the Roosevelt idea Of
economy. In his letter of acceptance
President Roosevelt declares that 'the
expenditures have been managed in
spirit of economy" The expenditures
of the Roosevelt administration were
$211 100000 more than McKinley's and
SSS3, 100000 more than Cleveland's.

Statistics reliable and indisputable
show that under Roosevelt's admins
tration there have been more business
failures, more wage reductions, and la
borers- laid off, and more mills shut
down than under Cleveland's admins
tration. In face Of the record the
Republican party claims to provide ev-

The Republican campaign book of
1904 is, perhaps, the greatest collection
of political yarns ever put before the
American people. Its 500 pages con-
tain more fables, fairy tales, ghost
stories and exaggerations than are con-
tanned in Arabian Nights "Aesop's
Fables" and Baron Munchausen."
Were the tales told in an interesting
way and had their various authors
mainly government employees better
sense of humor, this collection of Re-
publican yarns might soon become one
of the most popular story books.-

The President and the orporations.
Another straw which shows which
way the political wind blows at the
White House is the recognition of the
Spooner-Babcock faction Of the Repub-
lican party Of Wisconsin by the Ma
tional Committee Of that party. Those
who have watched the political tactics
of the administra ton have all the time
known that Gov. La Toilette was look
ed upon as a disorganizer. His propo-
sitions for fair primary legislation and
above all his attempt to tax the rail-
roads on their real valuation has not
endeared him to the Republican lead
ers. Is it therefore surprising that
President Roosevelt, who through his
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, is collecting large sums
from the corporations for the campaign
chest should favor the faction from
which the funds are being SO freely
poured forth. And now comes an I'M
feeling Supreme Court of Wisconsin
deciding that the Spooner-Babcock fac
ton have no right to 4 place on the
Republican ticket. AS the Republican
national convention was entirely domi-
mated by the corpora tons, of course,
that trust-ridden gathering did not
agree with the Supreme Court.

Republican Obligations to the Irusts'
It has been given out from the Whlte
House that Chairman Cortelyou mas
assured the President that he has
made no promises of immunity from
prosecution or publicity, to the trusts
and corporations for their generous 90
nations to the Republican campaign
fund. That is a very slick campaign
tale but who will vouch for Cortel-
YOU? Does anyone with any knoWl-
edge of trust doings think for a minute
that the trust magnates are giving
away millions without hope Of some re-
turn for their outlay? Has j. Pier
pont Morgan so suddenly fallen In love
with Theodore Roosevelt that he is
collecting money for the campaign
fund with no expectations of some
favors in return? The trust magnates
are not paying their checks directly to
Mr.. Roosevelt, of course, but he is the
direct beneficiary and will be bound
to honor the drafts they draw on HIM
and his party. The Republican lead
ers in Congress understand the obll-
cations they are under to those who
furnish the money to elect a Republi-
can majority of Congress and vote &C
cordingly. Can President Roosevelt do
less?

Good Words for Us.

Apples as big as grape fruit, peaches
as big as apples and grapes the size of
plums; those are some of the wonders
of the Western Slope fruit country,
according to W. II. Emomns, adver-
tising manager of the ColoIad Mid
land, who returned yesterday from a
trip to Grand Junction. j. f. Preston
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul, who also is back from recent
trip thither, brings the same reports.
Both agree that Colorado as fruit
state is pushing aside Michigan and
New York.
Shipments of fruit from Grand
| Junction eastward have been heavier
than for years. Elberta peaches have
caught the fancy of the New Yorker
and the Bostonian and Colorado apples
are being shipped into the great fruit
growing sections of New York state.
and the territory which formerly has
been supplied by the fruit orchards
round st. Joseph, Mich.
"Alredy shipments of apples are be
ing made from the Grand Junction
co 1ntry eastward" said Mr.. Preston
last evening. 1.-The shipments have
begun about two weeks earlier than
usual. The crop is immense and the
fruit excellent.
1--WE sent hundreds OF cars of peaches
to New York The hundreds of cars
of peaches to New York. The apples.
for the most part, go to Chicago. where
they are reconsigned to points along
the Atlantic seaboard.
While in Grand Junction l met
fruit buyer from Boston, Mr..
Emmons said yesterday. He was
there to get all the apples possible.
/ asked him why there was such
demand for Colorado fruit He ex-
planned by saying that such fine apples
we're produced in this state that a
market could always be found for
them, besides, the Colorado fruit is
tough and will stand warehousing
for longer time than the eastern
product.

When Governor Alva Adams assum-
ed office in January, 1897. he found
to a more limited extent the condi-
tions which will confront him when
he once more succeeds a disastrous
Republican administration next JAN
uary.
Governor McIntire. like Governor
Peabody, went into office as an alleg-
ed redeener. Let it be said for Gov
ernor McIntire, that he endeavored to
be honest, though his administration
was marked by inefficency and the
chief executive himself set an example
of moral loc seness which, thank heaven
few states of the nation have witness
ed i'll their chief heads. The McIntire
administration. along with its other
delinque ncies became involved in
a labor war at Leadville and as re-
suit the Adams administration when
it assumed office. found itself the heir
to an empty treasury and a $500. 900
military debt.
The accession of Governor Adams
and his able colleagues quickly clear
ed the polluted atmosphere which the
disgraeeful McIntire regime had left
behind it. Business principles. rigid
economy and honesty and efficiency in
every department we're the rules appli
ed and when Governor Adams turned
over his office to Governor Thomas,
two years later. 1t was with clean
ledger. The labor troubles inherited
from McIntire had been settled in a
twinkling and the military recalled; {;
and throughout the Adams admins
tration labor and capital formed no
dispute that was not speedy and sat
isfactorily solved.
AS regards the present administra-
tion. the contrast may be made a
marked one when it is said that Gov
ernor Adams found it easv to run the
state government two years at con-
siderably less expense than the present
Republican administration governor
has found necessary for single year.
IN OTHER WORDS, ALVA ADAMS
EXPENDED IN TWO YEARS FOR
ALL EXPENSES OF GOVERN
MENT 81. 800, 290.
WHILE GOVERNOR PEABODY
FOR THE SAME PERIOD EX-
PENDED 81. .273.5 $40.
