THE Chicago strike is becom-
ing rather strenuous. The dis
gruntled flour m en- W h 0
wanted an increase of 5 cents
per day over the contract price
have caused the loss Of thousands
OF dollars, the lives OF innocent
people and vast amount of
hardship to a long suffering pub
lie. Every laborer is worthy of
his hire, and it is his inalienable
right to gain by fair means the
highest possible price for his
labor. But when men confed-
crate and band themselves to-
gether and dictate who shall and
who shall not work, such men
are robbers and intruders and
should be punished by the strong
arm of the law. This is a free
country and no man or set of
men has any God given or con-
stitutional right to say what his
neighbor shall or shall not do as
long as he attends to his own
business and conforms to the
law of the land. 1t is as fair for
the employe as it is for the en-
ployer. Strikes are unnecessary,
harmful and dangerous to the
public good. Away with strikes
and strikers. Most Of them do
no good and they bring incalcu-
liable harm to a,large number of
innocent people.

A THOUGHT FOR The WEEK.
When the Ads Fail.
{ From Merchants Review.)


Pity the sorrows of the adj
vertising men. They are fire.
quently up against it, through
no fault of their own. They can
lead the customer to the store,
but they cannot make him a
steady customer, provived the
store force does not do its part,
or the quality of the goods dis
pleases or the prices are not suf-
ficiently tempting. Even when
the goods are right, the price
ditto and the service polite and
attentive, the force of the ad-
vertising might be blunted by
the excessive zeal of the sales
force.
A man went into a shoe store
and purchased a pair of shoes.
He was kept waiting for his
change an unconscionable time,
W lille a garrulous salesman
sought to SELL him. (1) a bottle
of varnish; (2) contrivance for
keeping the shoes in shape while
off the feet; 90 a certain patent
inside sole. Finally after the
flood of eloquence had all gone
to waste and the change had ar
rived, the incorrigibly glib clerk
detained the customer while he
entered the name and address,
"so's we can send you one of our
books" said the salesman.
N. B.-The book never came.
This happened about six months
ago. We judge that at about
this time the owner of these
shoe stores is asking himself
whether advertising is really all
it's "cracked up to be-" and his
ad-writer is probably wondering
if he has mysteriously lost his
faculty of making advertising
pay.

TOBACCO ASSOCIATION
Farmers Say Crops Would be Greatly
Increased by the Plan.
THINK POLITICS PREDoM1NATEs
OVER PRACTICAL FEATURES

The movement to interest the
farmers in an association to han,
die and curtail the tobacco crop
in Hopkins county is creating
discussion of the merits Of the
proposition.
A farmer, who is a Democrat,
said the other day that it was a
good thing for the politician but,
upon the proposed basis of con
troll and production, was wholly
impractical and could not accom-
phsh the announced purpose of
the organization.
The first criticism of the think
ing farmer is that if the proposed
plan were adopted there would
be the biggest crop ever known
raised in Hopking county. One
farmer said, when interviewed
that there would not be enough
land available to put in the crop
on the proposed "curtail" basis.
This gentleman said he now had
raised on his farm 8 acres
of tobacco annually; that un-
der the proposed rule he
would have to put in
49, acres to get the minimum.
He told of a neighbor who grows
Z acres, who would cultivate 30
acres with the help he has in his
family and that of his troopers
under the proposed plan of re-
stricting the tobacco crop. 9th
er farmers who were seen held
the same views in a general way,
but did not give any special fig
ures.
Tobacco is being planted now
as rapidly as the weather will
permit. Whatever results from
the organization it can have. no
effect upon this years acreage of
tobacco.

Mr.. Bry.n-Demoerat or Socialist

(Savoyard in the Louisville Post.)
Mr.. Bryan says the Democratic
party must be radical. Tilden,
Thurman, Hendricks, Lamar, Beck,
Vest, Bayard and their associate
leaders said the Democratic party
must be conservative. And what
sort of radicalism is it that Mr..
Bryan gives us? Why, that the
government shall acquire the rail-
roads. He has the effrontry and the
damphoolery to call that Democra-
cyl That is socialism and it is also
revolution. 1t takes l,250,000 per-
sons TO operate the railroads in this
country. All these would be en-
ployes of the government, and near
ly all of them would vote to sustain
the party in power Their kindred
would also help.
This would be the largest step in
the direction of consolidation that
was ever proposed, and if taken 1T
would eliminate the South as po-
litical factor, and she would have
about as much voice in the govern
ment as Ireland has in the govern
ment Of the British empire.
And what is it all aboutr Why,
some railroads, some time in the
past, gave the beef trust the oil
trust and Andy Carnegie rebates.
Since then the law makes that sort
of thing illegal, and all the'railroads
and all the trusts swear that it is no
longer practiced. Bryan says it is
practiced, and to break it up he
proposes TO revolutionize the govern
ment..
The whole quarrel is over the mat
ter of the cost of transporting men
and things from one community to
another. Mr.. Bryan isn't rail
road man. He Isn't an expert; but
he pretends to know more about
railroads and the railroad business
than all the railroad men In the
country. The beginning and the
ending of all his wisdom is this
there is but one honest man in
America, and / am he.

cruisers and torpedo boa desroyers.
The royal visitor was weicomed at
the British naval headquarters by an
imposing array Of warships, a score of
which fired a royal salute as the Vic

The young king, who wore the uni

of the Order of the Garter, stood on
deck evidently keenly enjoying the
spectacle, despite the fact that it was
pouring rain.
The Prince of Wales, representing
King Edward, awaited the yacht at

the gang plank was run up he went

warmly welcomed the Spanish ruler.

Eminent Divine Declares that in Many
Instance Divorce Is Welcome.
New York, June 5.-In a sermon at
the Church of Messiah, Rev. Minot ].
Savage has expressed the belief that
on the whole a large number of di-
vOrces at the present time are alto,
gether to be welcome. There are to be,
he said, nearly always in the interest
of oppressed women, giving them an
other opportunity for free, sweet,
wholesome life. There are cases where
the divorce laws are abused, but not
nearly SO many as the ministers of a
great many of our charches seem to
imagine.
Law does not make marriages. The
church does not make marriages. The
men and women, if they are ever mar
ried, marry themselves. All the law
can do is to make a clumsy attempt to
protect; all the church can do is to
recognize and conserve a fact which
already exists. But if there is no
marriage, then it is desecration to
keep up the sham.

CLAIM INTRIGUE IN CHINA.
Want Railroad Concession withdrawn

New York, June 5.-A Herald dis

claimed as the highest authority that
an intrigue is being actively worked
in China, backed by powerful infiu-

draw forcibly or otherwise, the con-
cession to the American Chinese De
Development company, in which New
York and Belgian financiers are heavi-
ly interested for building all the inn
portant railroads between Han Kow
and Canton.
The withdrawal of the concession is
intended, the correspondent declares,
to be the first strong step toward clos
ing the open door, Reports of a
similar nature were in circulation last
January when it was said the Chinese
government threatened to annul the
franchise because the American syndi-
cate had sold controlling interest to
Europeans.
