DEATH TO TRADING STAMPS
Butchers and Retail Grocers Fix May
! as the Date For Show

The action Of the Butchers and Retail
Grocers association in refusing to handle
goods after May L with premiums and
trading stamps attached has met with
general approval throughout the city. The
dealers have made it clear to their Gus
toners that the giving of premiums and
stamps Is the work of the manufacturers
and that in the long run the consumer is
the loser and not the gamer by the
practice.
Speaking about this matter last evening.
Secretary John 4. Burt said:
Trading stamps are a dead issue in
this city and will remain dead from now
on We are going TO give our patrons
Just as good or better value for their
money, and it Will be a much more sat
istactOry way Of doing business / might
mention in regard to the stamp evil that
one merchant has paid as high as $500 for
stamps in one month Now, who is il
that pays for these stamps? 1t isn't a
case of giving something for nothing and
on careful investigation YOU viii find
that il rs the consumer who has TO pay
the nddler in the long run. He has TO
pay actual cash for every stamp given
him. though he does not look at it in that
way when he makes a purchase. The
health. neither is the retail dealer So
YOU can see that il must be the consumer
who loses in the end. It is just the same
way with premium goods.
From the expressions of opinions
have gathered throughout the city 1 am
free to say that the vast majority of
consumers are satisfied that they are not
getting the full value of their money and
they will be willing to return to the old
way of doing business after May l. We
have set that date so far in advance in
order to be fair to the dealer who has a
lot of these stamps on hand and who
ought TO be permitted TO get rid of them
without any pecuniary loss TO himself.
and also TO help out the consumers who
are trying to fill their books and get
some little thing back for all the trouble
they have gone to in making their col
lcctfDnS.'

JAPANESE COMMENT.
Murder of Grand Duke Attributes
to Oppression.

Toxic, Feb. 19.-Commenting on the
assassination of Grand Duke Sergius
at Moscow the Jill Shimpo expresses
its sympathy at his cruel death but
declares the act is attributable to the
high-handed manner of the Russian
government in suppressing the recent
labor demonstrations. The papers say
that oppressive measures against ex-
preston of natural wishes invite such
outrages from the oppressed.
The war in the far east resulted
from the aggressive action of the Rus
sian government with which the Rus
sian people have little sympathy" the
Jill ShimpO adds
IN one sense Japan is waging war
against the Russian nation arising
from oppression by autocracy, but ia
pan is fighting the government and
not the people of Russia"
The paper predicts a better under
standing between the two peoples after
the war has ended and after again la
menting the crime which resulted in
the death of Grand Duke Sergius ex-
presses the hope that it will be fruit
full of good results
Other newspapers comment in a
similar strain on the assassination of
the grand duke.

Until the funeral. which has. been
fixed for Thursday. Feb. %. the remains
of Grand Duke Sergius viii rest in the
ancient dining room OF the Chaudoff
monastery. to which throughout the
day the people of MOSCOW have been
admitted TO pay their last respects in
parties of one hundred. This precau-
ton was taken because il was thought
necessary to avoid the possibility of
demonstrations. The body of the grand
duke, dressed in the uniform Of the
Fifth (KiefD grenadiers, of which he
was the honorary colonel, rests in an
caken coffin. Only the breast of the
uniform, upon which is an inscription
CT the Savior and the orders of the
grand duke. is visible. The Bible beside
the head of the coffin bears the ortho-
dox cross in silver and the imperial
eagles.

been issued. His photographs have
been taken, to be dispatched to all the
universities, but If the assassin is ac-
tuGlly a workman and not a student
the police may find themselves at sea.
Grand Duke Sergius' coachman, who
was thought to be dying at the time
OF the affair, is still alive and may re-
cover.
The city presents an aspect of deep
gloom. There was no music in the res
taurants. and there We're no perfor-
mances at the theatres. The imper-
ial manifesto voicing the grief of the
emperor is posted at street corners
throughout the city, and the crime
still forms the only topic of discus
sion.
Many mourning Wreaths from royal
personageS and prominent officials
have arrived and have been placed in
the monastery around the coffin.
