LAW OF MUTUAL BENEFIT,

An agitation has sprung UP all
over the country against the mail or
der business. Newspapers in various
sections are urging the people to re-
sIst what they term the mail order
menace, They all. claim that
thousands upon thousands of dollars
are sent out of their communities IN
this way. which never again gets into
locnl circulation They urge that
tbere ought to be mutual interest
and beueht between seller and buyer.
The most pointed discussion OF
mis- question coming TO our latest
notice is by the Cumberland News
,,d one of its Cumberland readers.
The News very ably defends the
position taken against the mail or
der business and cites a number OF
instances. wherein buyers have not
received what they ordered by man
and spent futile efforts to have the
order filled as contracted for

tics, is a good thing, for the more

less likely he is to be skinned or

houses are good things and it's up
to the people to patronize them, and
Incidentally teach the local captain

not mean charging two prices for one

you do think so, why consider your

material value that mere sentiment

sense"
To this the News cites several in
stances, wherein it is better from
the standpoints of service and quail
iry to buy at home and concludes it's
argument as follows. insisting on the
observance of the law of mutual
benefit:

has and easily is it discerned that
the Registers purpose is to bring
reflection on the integrity and sim
certify of union labor. The trouble
with the Register is that it does not
grasp the fact that organized labor
has a far deeper estimation of poll
cies than appears on the surface
sometimes. The real purpose of I'M
ion labor as we understand it is to
look after the welfare of labor, and
TO do that in it's truest and greatest
sense is to support national policies
that bring opportunity to labor. The
foundation of labor is opportunity.
That opportunity must be furnished
and national policies either furnish
or prevent that opportunity. Labor
itself knows this and labor also
knows what political party provides
opportunity. Besides opportunity
labor requires and demands some
other things, but these are not basic,
10 the contrary secondary. Had the
Democratic leaders and newspapers
reflected for a moment on this fact
.hev would not have deluded them
selves into the belief that labor
would not vote for Republican poll
cies. nor would they have been so
inpolitic as to conduct campaign
in this particular that was SO pro-
nounced and radical as to drive the
vote of the more or less antagonistic
elements to labor away from Demo
cratic candidates. The Democratic
leaders should also have recalled
that labor does it's most effective
poIiticaI work by not being publicly
or pronouncedly identified with poll
teal movements. Labor thinks
Quietly and votes quietly.

Plat SHOULD RESIGN.

News comes from New York that
the resignation of Thomas c. Platt
from the United States Senate is
said to be ready for filing with Gov
crnor Higgins as the senasor has de-
cided to retire from public life. Re-
cont disclosures concerning the sena-
tors domestic troubles and his. ad-
vanced age are declared to have fore
ed him to relinquish the office.
1t is to be hoped that the news
is correct and that Plat will give
up the important Office which he has
been filing so inadequately of late
He as we'll as his colleague In the
senate ought to retire to private life
and give younger blood, brain and
hrawn the opportunity of doing the
work of representing the Empire
state in the national senate. Platt Is
7s years of age and of late has given
evidence of feebleness, mentally and
physically.

ever, that Mr.. Platt should resign
the senatorship, but because of the

minority report, which wact is doubt

governor and the legislature to

Securities Comapny was broken up
by the government and it was no In
fantiIe concern.
AS to whether the dissolution OF
the Standard will eventually prohibit
the restraint of the oil trade by the
owners of the Standard OIL Com
pany is a question. 1t would be a
rather difficult matter to redistrfbute
the shares of the ownership of the
various constituent companies as
conhscation of property is impos-
sible. The men who control the
their ownership interests in the var
ious constituent companies and by
their community of interests they
may be able to control the trade in
way
Yet. there is a law which makes
any agreement or combination by
these owners a criminal conspiracy
even after the parent company is
broken up and it must be obeyed.
While concentration of wealth can
not be stopped violation of the law
by this concentrated wealth can be
and If the gigantic Standard Oil
trust, which has done more to stifie
competition and suck the public
purse than any other combination
known, is broken up it will mean

not be operated within the bounds
of the law. -.-s-

BUSY DAYS FOR MISS ALICE
AstOnishing Amount of Purchases In
New York-MOdistes Surprised
Mt Orders.

New York, Feb. 3.-Miss Alice Roose-
welt gave herself up to the dressmakers
and milliners while in New York. The
presidents daughter established a prece-
dent in shopping on her expedition in
the small time she devoted to it, and
in the almost astonishing amount Of
purchases. Even the modistes expert
enced in furnishing elaborate trosseaux
for New York's fashionable set ex-
pressed surprise at her orders.
Among Miss Roosevelt's purchases
are toilettes for every season In the

for some little time to come. With the
exception of the going-away gown and
two street costumes, all Of her pur-
chases are confined to the light spring

z. To Encourage Cotton Mills.

Discussing his resolution relative to
an amendment to the constitution re-
garding the encouragement Of cotton
mills in the State, Senator Yarbrough
of Pamela said: The fuctuation in the
price of cotton for the past five years
averages a loss each year of about 2
cents per pound. On a ten million bale
crop the yearly loss is about 100000
600. which amount would build and
equip 500 cotton factories at a cost of
$500. 900 each. Will cotton growers
continue to allow this annual loss, or
will they cooperate and manufacture
their own cotton? The resolution in
troduced by me is, l believe, the proper
nlan to be adopted by cotton growers.
f. is reasonable to believe that they
will appreciate it, and by so doing en-
hance the value of their product 400
ner cent. | think it is the plan to be
adopted so as to make a steady demand
for their cotton, and will not go on as
heretofore as hewers of wood anddraw-
ers of water to better informed mi

to remain. A resolution was adopted
protesting against any action on the
