EQUITY in BUSINESS.
Practice Of live-and-Let-Live Prinei-
pies Most Desirable.


Too frequently it is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored.
Fair dealing is a desirable thing as
well as most simple and 1t requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
In the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. 1t is quite as
dishonorable for the purchaser to >ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as it is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods.
There is much sound philosophy in
the live-and-let-live gospel. This is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much Of
exaggerated selfishness in evidence,
too great struggle for the vantage.
There should be spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
Of town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
it noticed that where this feeling DOM
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? 1t is
short sightedness on parts of mer-
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered a
legitimate and just profit. In fact, it
is poor business policy to follow out
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through grasping tendency
Of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount of
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of a pol
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
Of making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in, their
dealings, the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle. it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns. but for all the com
munities.

TOWN HELPS.

1t is easy to estimate the business
Importance Of place by the appear
ance Of its stores. Dingy. dirty ap-
bad impression and are generally indi-
cative of the character of the business
men Of the town.
Good newspapers are important fac
tors in building of towns. Well filled
advertising pages, as well as local
news pages speak for the prosperity
Of a place and makes an impression
upon the readers that assist the town
to greater prosperity.
Each town should have a good pub
lie hall, place where meetings can
be held or entertainments given. II
such a hall be erected by private en-
terprise II rightly managed can be
made a profitable investment in the
average small town.
Quite often when towns are organ
ized the matter of providing for public
parks is overlooked. Every town is a
city in embryo. No one can prophesy
how great it may become in time. 1t
Is well to look into the future and to
set aside grounds that may be used
for park purposes. 1t has been the
experiments of many cities that the
park question is a troublesome one
when not looked after in ample time.
There is nothing that makes the city
more attractive or is such blessing
to its people as a cozy park where
they may meet for recreation during
the warmer months Of the year.

No Good ~ Town.

The man who spends his time loaflng
about the town stores and complain
ing Of the conditions Of his environ
ments is no good to himself. his family
or his town. There are class OF men
who spend their time In bemoaning
the fact that they are not getting the
right kind OF living which the world
owes them. and who never once think
how much better this living could be
II they would only hustle. The man
who Is constantly grumbling about
the dullness Of his town is never found
looking around to discover a means by
which he can make It livelier.

Asa Goddard, of the American Auto

Worcester some of his touring adven-

"One summer morning." he said,
'the approach of great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull OF the narrow coun-

ed with interest the passage Of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
Il had short talk with the shep-
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
"Look here said, what do you do.

"'Well,' said the shepherd, 'ye just

A TROUBLE SAVING LAW.

The present legislature would save
its successors a great deal of time and
the tax payers some money by fixing
by law the number of legislative at
taches as definitely as the organic act
fixes the number of those whose sal
aries the federal government is to pay.
This middle. which has engaged the
attention of the legislature for the
last two days is a biennial recurrence
and the end of it invariably is a great
er number of clerks than the business
of the session requires. Not only that.
Frequently the character Of the leg
islatiOn is affected by dickering and
concessions SO that the people are
losers not only of the amount paid as
useless salaries. but also Of 4 higher
quality of legislation. And frequently
too. the promising careers of legisla
tors have been brought to an end.
Such a law as We have suggested
might go still farther than to the
number Of the attaches. but might
prescribe their qualifications. There
would be no difficulty in finding suit.
able persons to fill them.
1t could hardly be supposed that
any succeeding legislature would pile
up trouble for itself by repeating it.
This would be the one law that would
be as the laws of the Modes and Per
slams.

their lives as the result of an explo-
sion at o'clock this morning in i
Colorado Fuel and Iron company coal
mine near Primero, twenty miles from

ordered by the company from the local

boss. The names OF the other killed
are not known. All except Lumley
are foreigners. most Of them being
Italians. The explosion stopped the
air fan, which was not repaired until
late today, and there is little chance
that any Of the men in the mine at the
time of the explosion are still alive.

rescuers have been divided into two

During the day excitement ran high
and the relatives Of the entOmbed min
ers stood waiting at the entrance to
the mine for sight of any victims
that might be brought to the surface
An attempt is being made to force air
into the mine in the hope of some OF
the men being alive. Late advices are
that the mine is badly wrecked. =

THE PEOPLES LOBBY.

The Republican is IN receipt Of a
document issued by the Peoples Lob
by at Washington, criticising bitter
ly and unfairly the Crumpacker bill.
which recently passed the house and
is now in the judiciary committee of
the senate.
The Peoples Lobby is a self-con-
stituted censorious body Of recent or
Eanization. which sits concurrently
with congress and directs it as to leg
isIat.on, though congress is required
neither by the constitution nor any Of
the United States revised statutes, to
take notice of any advice it may re-
ceive from this quarter. The Peoples
Lobby" was believed at the beginning
to have formed itself of a group Of
magazine writer's who have been busy
in and out OF season for several years
holding up the hands Of the admins
tration. At any rate. the legislation
which it has favored IS that which
clothes the executive department with
greater power and the legislation
which it disapproves is that which is
intended to restrict executive author
fly
The Crumpacker bill therefore nat
urally falls under the disapprobation
Of the lobby which not merely points
out the defects Of the measure. but
inpugns the motives OF the distin-
guished Indianian who is champion
ins it,
The Crumpacker bill. while we do
not think it will become a law. though
it will probably be passed by the
senate, as well as the house is de-
signed to render the enforcement Of
fraud orders less summary. so that

reputable person.
j AAt Jill prov lnaI persons
against whom fraud orders are direct

is inflicted. The lobby shows that the
victim already enjoys the right Of ap-
peal, but it overlooks the fact that
before relief could be afforded him.
his business through the mails would
be destroyed.
The lobby however, brings prom
inently to the front that under the
Crumpacker bill the appellant could
go on desraudi2g the people through
the mails until the fraud order could
be sustained.
That is perhaps true, but a man
who is caught wilfully making a bad
use of the mails would not be likely
TO demand a review. The only men
WHO would avail themselves of the
Crumpaeker provision are those who
