ROBBED AT
ARCADIA

The postoffice at Arcadia, In the town
Of Richmond. was visited by two thieves
last night who used horse and buggy
to facilitate their movements.
Almost never has Postmaster Charles
II. Barber left the safe unlocked. but by
chance ne neglected TO turn the bolt last
night.
Even had he taken the usual precauton
the safe would probably have been blown
open. so that the item OF n sound safe
can be counted upon today. that might
not have been.
While the villagers slept the thieves
forced an entrance to the general store,
in which the postoffice Is located, and
being unmolested packed up and carried
away the following property:
Eighteen hundred one-cent stamps 400
two-cent: - four-cent; 73 hve-cent: 800
eIght-ccnt: go 10-cent: 81 two-cent spe-
cial delivery; II one-cent special delivery;
seven books OF stamps. each valued at
IS cents. and 40 i0-cent special delivery
stamps.
Also n few pieces OF scrip, such as was
IN circulation during the Civil war. and
lot OF old-fashiored copper stamps.
In all the thieves secured loot TO the
value OF about Sl8o.

In explanation OF the article which
appeared in this column Monday evening
regarding the banner contest, IL seems
that the criticism which was so freely
quoted was but the remarks of a few in
dividuals and not the sentiment or the
labor bodies by any means.
The best evidence OF this is clearly de-
labor organization Is putting It's best foot
forward with a hope Of winning one or
the banners.
II is TO be regretted that anyone should
criticise the actions OF the outlet COM
pany who as everyone in labor rircles
knows, have always proven themselves
most liberal with the labor organizations
and heartily in accord, at all times, with
their movements.
These banners. no doubt. were offered
I'm the best Of faith and not for COM
mercial reason whatever.
IL was said that the banners should
have been offered on Labor day. What
good would tho banners do any organi-
zation by being offered on Labor day, as
winners would not be able TO use them In
a parade again for possibly a year?
for the distinct reason that the SUCCESS
full organizations winning them could
have them properly embellished and use
them in the coming Labor day parade.
A News representative upon investigat-
ing more closely finds that the various
organizations throughout the state are
taking n lively interest I'm the contest and
are encouraging their members TO vote.
Quite n number OF Labor organizations
have appointed committees to go among
their friends and get them TO cast votes
for their particular organization. This
does not look as If the organizations are
opposed to a banner contest.
The outlet company has always dealt
fairly with the labor organizations, their
methods are an open book and IL Is to be
regretted that a few individuals should
utter their uncalled-for remarks against
a contest which was actuated and pre-
sented solely by n desire TO benefit labor
organizations at large and to create
more friendly interest among them.
As the Outlet company has shown. on
more than one occasion, n desire 10 aid
the unions and the working people, IL
Is not possible 10 understand why at this
time. an adverse sentiment should arise,
particularly in view of the fact that here
is a firm that carries more union made
goods than any other three stores in
Providence combined, a statement which
Is freely used in the outlet companys
advertisements and one which they stand
ready at all times 10 more than sub
stantate.
II is 10 be hoped that the various
labor organizations will not permit n
few individuals with flippant tongues to
throw cold water on a plan which is OF
so much interest TO those organizations.
