ing competition and maintaining ar
bltrary and non-competitive prices in
the sale Of licOrice paste,
The indictment contains a long SER
les OF correspondence, signed by the
accused, both as corporations and in
dividuals. all showing a control of the
licorice paste market and a constant
ly increasing price to be charged to
the independent manufacturers.
Complaints which led to the inves-
tigation were made to the government
by independent tobacco manufacturers,
that the McAndrews & Forbes COM
pany and the John S. Young com
pany had entered into an illegal COM
bination to control, in this country,
the sale of licorice paste. Without
this commodity the Independent plug
tobacco manufacturers were unable to
continue in business. 1t is alleged
that the John S. Young company of
Baltimore, under the agreement, sup
piled the independent manufacturers
with the paste at prices fixed by the
trust, and that the subsidiary corpora
tions of the combination were supplied
by the McAndrews & Forbes COM
pany.

of the hippopotamus, which creeps sly

around to see if anyone is watching
his performance. and then, by long
pull and a strong pull. drags over
poles, wires. insulators and all. The
comfort is that occasionally the hip
popotamus gets e1 ,angled in his own
devices. He is not very dexterous
animal, even at the best OF times
but when he's wrapped round with
some 20 feet of wire-and in some
cases with 20 feet of three wires-he
finds progression somewhat retarded
In time. no doubt. he will learn that
it is as well to leave the wires un.
touched, but it seems as if it will take
some years before the lesson has gone
home.

Features For Fourth of July.

The two most striking features
in the Fourth of July parade will be
the Union float. carrying young lad
les attired in white representing the
states, and the Goddess of Liberty,
and the floral parade. For this latter
feature, the committee has offered a
special prize for the most handsomely
decorated vehicle in the division and
the ladies, who have the matter in
charge, expect to surprise the natives.
The other features of the big celebra-
ton will be carried out as previously
announced, the program now being
completed. The finance committee has
finished its canvass of the city, and
the subscriptions have been very lib
eral. AS matters now stand, only one
more meeting of the committees will
be necessary, although the general
committee will get together frequently
to close up details as they develop. It
is reported that much interest is taken
in the country in the coming celebra
ton, and the Montana Railroads ex
cursion to Lewistown promises to be
heavily patronized. After the parade
and exercises, the entire afternoon
will be given up to the ball game an
other sports, and the display of fire
works in the evening will be fittine
close to the celebration.

better all day long. OF course. you
want to go on about your business and
not think about breakfast.
The idea started by some physician
stating that breakfast was the one
meal that could be done away with.
Half a dozen men tried it and the
plan has spread till great many are
following the system.

MEMORIAL DAY-A LESSON.

How many Of us appreciate the sig
nificance Of Memorial day? Have
most of us forgotten the heroic SER
vices performed by the young men Of
81 and '65? Young men then with
gay and gallant hearts, now bent with
years, and only a very few left
Young men! We all may get les
son from the lives Of veterans Of the
Civil war. We never pass man
wearing that badge Of honor-the flag
and the eagle and star-without be-
ing prompted to pay tribute of re-
spect to him. Indeed in our heart we
invariably shower blessings Of love
and appreciation upon the good old
boys Of the other days.
They have fought their battles on the
field of bloody conflict and in the
peaceful pursuits Of life. In few
years the last of them shall have
been gathered with their old COM
rades, and the cause that they fought
for will be but a memory. All honor
to the saviours Of our nation. Nav
their deeds of sacrifice and heroism
ever be emulated by American man
hood
The duty that presented itself to
the citizens Of 1861 is as paramount
today as 1t was then. Oh, that the
response could be as cheerful and as
hearty!
A noted governor Of central state.
on the lecture platform last year.
spoke on 1.-THE Patriotism of Peace"
and held it no less sacred than the
patriotism Of war. AS matter of
fact no war can be justified that does
not involve some question of human
rights, save alone war in self de-
Tense.
We pray for no more bloody in
ternal conflicts in America. They can
only be avoided by an application Of
the most unself1sh patriotism on the
part Of our citizens. What is that
patriotism? 1t is that every man
shall contribute his most honest effort
IN promoting the welfare of all the
people. Greed and avarice must be
persistently combated. The nation
must be wrestled from the enemies
OF the people, Wealth founded m
privilege, must be prevented. It re-
qu1res hearts as brave and sturdy to
| prevent the destruction of Americas
democratic institutions, as it did to
save the nation from disunion.
This is lesson we desire to teach
! on Memorial day while we are layine
garlands OF love On the graves Of the
! heroes of war.

WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO.

What can one man do against all
the depressing, discouraging success
of exploitation and robbery, carried
on by capitalism, in this country?
Every one can do something. Take
the one thing that Upton Sinclair has
done, for instance.
Sinclair is a modest Socialist. a.
college man, it is true, but one who
had to live In attics, as he has con-
fessed, and who has had to rear his
little family under the great famine
shadow that hangs over all wage
workers. Yet he, mere atom in this
great land full Of atoms, has shaken
the country, and the end is not yet.
He lived the life of an employe at
the packing house district in Chicago
and then wrote book. The trade
unions tried to give it as widespread
circulation as possible, but the merit
Of the book soon relieved them Of that
necessity, and now it is the talk of
the country.
Even Theodore Roosevelt. president
Of the United States, has helped to
poplarize it. He gave it out that a
representative Of the government
would be sent to Chicago to in
vestigate into the truth of the book
and that if it were not found true he,
Roosevelt, would publicly excoriate
Sinclair for slandering a leading
American industry, but that If the
story was found true, it would be the
meat lords who would be excoriated.
Did ever an author receive such a fine
boost for his book! More people are
reading 1.-THE Jungle" now than aver,
as a consequence.
We cannot all Of US write books
like "The Jungle" but almost every
one can do something, in some way,
to protest against wrong conditions
and wrong systems. And more would
do so were it not for slothfulness.

soon after the fire started when a Sc
ries of explosions caused by ignition
of the dust spread the flames through
out the building.
The loss was estimated roughly at
from 100000 to more than $1,000,000.
In addition Is cars, filled yesterday
with grain wer on the tracks by the
elevator and these were destroyed.

Organized labor has a code of prin
ciples that are most elevatine and in
spring. These principles should be
the incentive Of all your actions and
the guide Of your ambitions as union
men. Unless you are true to these
principles you should not point to
your membership In the trade union
as proof Of your worthiness as an in
ddvidual. You might be asked: How
have you applied those principles in
your daily life or in your actions to-
wards your fellowmen? Have YOU adj
vanced the cause of organized labor
when 1t was within your power to do
so. or have you been a laggard to
duty? Have you always striven to
make tighter the bonds Of unity be-
tween the members of the union &?
Have you always tried to keep the
spirit Of discord away? Have YOU de-
manded the union label on all goods
you purchase, and instructed your
wife to do the same? Have you at

rights and not upon prejudice and op-
preston.
The labor union is a friend of the
non-unionist; therefore, he should be
man enough to join the union of his
craft and help to strengthen the
movement and better the conditions
all along the line.
Organized labor is not an institu-
ton Of tyranny, nor is it an institu-
ton of exclusiveness. It was inaug-
urated to fight INCREASINGLY for right
and justice. It sometimes makes mis-
takes, but what institution does not
Mistakes, while at all times to be
avoided, If possible, are sometimes,
however, valuable as guides to future
action along safe lines. AS to the ex-
clusiveness Of organized labor, its con-
ditions for membership are fair to
employer and empa0ye alike, and any
one complying with these conditions
can become members. Those unable
to comply are unworthy of association
with good wOrknen; those who are
competent and of good morals, how
ever, are not excluded.
