Competition

1t is now announced that the Madi-
son avenue people are going to try to
get competition in paving the street
by advertising for three diff erent
kinds of pavement. 1t is proposed to
allow competition in two OF the kinds
of pavement, but they still stick TO
the closed specifications on the Warren
Bros, monopoly. Why is this disctim-
nation shown? What hold has the
Warren Bros, in Perth Amboy that
they should get a free track without
competition in bidding on the bitumi-
nus macadam pavement while the
manufacturers of the brick and wood
pavement must meet competition?
If a man is going to build II house
he does not ask for bids from Il car
penter, "a bricklayer and stone mason.
He knows that the materials are as
different as day is from night. The
macadam are no more to be compared
fof3 paving purpose than are lumber,
bDick and stone for building. The
man erecting a house first decides
whether he wants "a frame, brick or
stone house and then he gets estimates
fro u three OF four carpenters, brick
layers or nasons, as the case may be.
In that way ne secures competition.
TAe same is true in paving. 1t
seems the people of Madison avenue
want bituminous macadam, of which
the bitulithic is a patent variety con
trolled by one company. The proper
way to get competition, therefore, is
to draw up specifications for bitumin-
Gus macadam so that not only the
Warren Bros, with their patent
bitulithic, can bid, but other concerns
can bid also. IT you are advertising
for II brick pavement, a wooden pave
ment, an asphalt pavement, you do
not mention any particular brand,
controlled by any one company, but
Just ask for what you want and you let
all the companies manufacturing those
different kinds OF pavement put in a
bid. The Board of Aldermen then
considers the different bids, take into
consideration the guarantee bonds and
awards the contract for the best inter.
est of the taxpayers. If this is done
with other kinds of pavement, why is
it not done with the bituminous maca.
DAMP This magic word bitulithic j.
merely a patent material used il
binding the crushed stone in a maca.

Good Poise.

Physical poise every woman can at
tain. By physical poise 4 mean the
ability to walk gracefully and uncon-
scously, to glide up and downstairs, to
sink, instead of to bounce, into a chair,
to use her hands as though they were
part of her, and not merely attachments
at the end Of her arms. The first thing
to learn in the acquisition of poise is
to stand squarely upon the balls of your
feet, not upon the toes, nor the heels.

A Good Labor Mayor

The Burlington, n. j., silk stockings

J. E. Burke when he was first named
for mayor. They felt that their fair
city was disgraced by his election.
They have placed cogs in the official

all that, the unlettered son of toll
comes up smiling for third election,
and it is significant that no one sought
the chance to run against him. He
has laid out the old line political

A GREAT NEWSPAPER
The Sunday Star Contained Wealth
Of Good Things for Readers

OI SOOu nSdoSio
The Lincoln Sunday Star is fast
taking the front rank among the Sun
day newspapers Of the west, just as
the Daily Star has taken front rank
among the metropolitan dailies. Last
Sunday the Star contained labor de-
partment that was remarkably good,
and of immense benefit to the wage
earners who were fortunate enough to
read it. Several pages were devoted
to topics of prime interest to toilers,
and the illustrations were exception
ally fine.
The Star has been making immense
strides forward during the last few
months, and because of it's worth as a
newspaper and its demonstrated
friendliness towards laboring men, it
deserves a wide circulation among
those who eat their bread in the sweat
of their faces.

The oe.cendent. Of Demetriu.

When Paul preached his wonderful
sermon on the text ITO the Unknown
Cod" he aroused the ire of certain
Ephesian gentleman named Demetrius.
It will be remembered that Demetrius
was maker of silver images of Diana,
and Diana happened to be the favorite
god of the Ephesians, magnificent
temple having been erected to her in
the great city of Ephesus.
When Paul was in the middle of that
magnificent sermon it dawned upon
Demetrius that the great missionary
was likely to do his silver business a
great injury. With Paurs God holding
sway in the hearts of men there would
be falling of in the market for silver
images of Diana. So Demetrius took a
reef in his toga and started out among
this disturber from upsetting the wor-
ship of Diana!" And he gave rea.
son for it. Was it because he loved
Diana? Was it because he worshipped
at her shrine with singleness or pur-
pose and with love?
Not much. He gave this as his rea-
son: by this craft we have our
wealth."
Demetrius was thinking more of his
pocketbook than he was of his religion.
1t does not require much effort to
see all about in this day and age men
whose actions indicate that they are
lineal descendants of Demetrius. Har-
ken to this man:
81 am opposed to government regu-
lation of railroad rates because it tends
to Capitalization and is likely to en-
throne in power for many years a cor
rupt administration. Besides, under
private control am given liberal re-
bates"
And before the echo of that mans
voice dies away another man exclaims:
'The tariff must be revised by its
friends. Under it the whole country
is prosperous. labor is we'll employed
at remunerative wages and prosperity
reigns Besides, revision Of the tar
III in the interests Of the consumers
would mean that large share of my
graft would be shut or"
And from corner up near the pull
pit comes voice saying:
"Of course it is all wrong for Mr..
Rockermorbilt to corner the neces-
stiles OF life. It is wrong for him to
speculate in the necessities of men and
women and make them pay tribute to
him. But he has given US money to
put a new roof on the church and get
new pews to take the place of our old
benches, to say nothing of lifting our
church mortgage, and I think we
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.''
There was but one Demetrius in the
market places Of Ephesus, but the mar
ket places of the world in this genera
tion are crowded with his lineal de-
scendents. Would that there were as
many Pauls travelling the earth and
preaching sermons calculated to upset
the modern worship OF Diana.
