USELESS WHEEL
IS THIRD PARTY
Secretary Straus Believes That
Two Organizations Can Keep
the Record Straight.
REBATING LAW CORRECTIVE
FOUNDATION FOR SOUND LEGIS-
LATION.

At a. luncheon at the Alta club in
honor of Oscar S. Straus, secretary of
commerce and labor, yesterday after
noon the secretary declared that he
did not see much need of a third party
in politics here, saying that he be-
lieved the two old-time parties could
fight out the issues and, through
the fighting of them out, bring order.
The secretary said he could see no
need of a third party which went un-
der the head of American" He
thought it an unfortunate situation
when a political condition arose where
there must be division in this awkward
way.
The secretary was the guest of the
governor, as were also a number of
others.
Labor and CarpitaI.
With reference to labor and capital,
Mr.. Straus scored those organizations
which indulge in discrimination and
invite viOlence-clearly meaning the
Western Federation of Miners.
Mr. Straus declared himself as hope
full of the future. The laborer and the
employer are sovereigns, he declared,
and being sovareigns must necessarily
reign in order that there may be peace
and content.
Mr., Straus touched upon the new law
regarding rebates in a manner not I'M
mistakable. The cabinet minister said
that the law respecting rebates was in
operation, and that it seemed to form
sound basis for the building of a
law that would serve all purposes.
Many Make Addresses
A number of speakers addressed the
table in response to calls. They We're
Governor John G. Cutler, who made the
Introductory speech; John Henry
Smith. Mayor Bransford, M. H. Walk
er, F. J. Kiesel, c. A. Quigley and
Fisher Harris.
At the Knutsford Mr.. Straus said
that he had talked quite all that was
necessary, and so to please excuse him
further. The party will go north this
evening at o'clock for trip through
the ellowstOne park.

PRICES NEARING

Everything Costs Much More
Than It Did a Year

MANY COMPLAINTS HEARD
PEoPLELUcKY TO GET ENOUGH
MEAT AND POTATOES.
MANY COMPLAINTS HEARD

To look at the price of meat these days
is to become a vegetaTian-to attempt to
buy vegetables is to become a fish eater
and a glance at the fish market rouses
interest in the attempts of scientists to
live sixty days without food.
With the average man it has become
a question of quantity, not quality. No
longer does he look at his purchase to
see if it is up to standard. Instead he is
worrying over the momentGus question.
How much do I get for the money!
Everything that is brought to the fam
lily table nowadays represents an increased
cost over last year Everything that is
prepared for the Sunday or week day din
ner costs at least 10 per cent more than
il did year ago. And the explanation
for this advanced cost has not yet been
given by the different food trusts in any
satisfactory manner. At first changed
condition" was the reason given why this
or that was raised in price. Then when
something else assembled the scale of price
the Only excuse offered was everything
else is going up
Butter, eggs, milk, meats, vegetables,
IN fact every form Of table delicacy has
taken a sudden boost. The rate at which
the prices have been boosted has caused
wave of alarm to sweep over the cOun-
try. In Salt Lake, where the prices have
been inflated with persistent regularity.
the complaints are rising to a roar. What
the outcome will be no one even dares to
prophecy.

Canned Goods Higher.

In the past year the price of common
canned goods have gone up from 81
dozen to $50. Some brands have even
increased to s. a dozen, Western beef
has gone up an average of 10 cents a
pound both in the east and west. A
strange coincidence in this connection Is
that the western price is as a whole
higher than the eastern even with the
added cost of freight
Canning for foreign shipment is given
as a reason for the advanced cost in
canned goods. Roast beef has taken an
advance of 10 10 cents since a year
ago. A year ago the thrifty housewife
could make dollar bill go much farther
on market row than she can now. Pork
veal, lamb have all gone uu in the pro-
portion and in consequence there has been
a big demand for chickens, sending the
price of poultry soa~i ing toward the skies
The increased price of butter is a thing
that the housewife knows to her sorrow
Last year at this time she could get the
best creamery butter for 20 to % cents
pound Now she is paying IS cents to the
retailers with the prospect of paying
much more during the winter months.

Meat and Potatoes.

All the rich and savory cakes that de-
lighted the epiCuTe a year or so ago
and even the simplest desserts that were
seen on the tables of even the poorest
labOTeT are now done away with. It has
resolved itself into a proposition of
meat and potatoes" and very little meat
at that.
Fruit has gone up and the making of
jellies and preserves has been hampered.
Sugar has also gone up along with the
other products. Flour has gone ND ap-
prOXimately 81 a barrel and the price of
fruits is way in advance of what it was
a year ago
Berries remained at Is to 20 cents a box
as long as there was any semblance Of a
supply. Peaches are now selling at an
advance of nearly 100 per cent over the
price of 1906 at this time of the year. Po-
tatoes alone seem to have kept away
from the general increase, but this may
he explained by the fact that the pres
ent potato crop is larger than for the past
decade. Tomatoes are still selling by the
pound instead of by the bushel.
Green peas are selling for cents A
pound. about the same as last year. but
they are almost alone in retaining their
price of 1906 in the vegetable kingdom.

Fish has gone up in price. In the Salt

the kinds of fish in the greatest demand
are as follows: Shad Is cents: brook

declare itself without mincing words. And

circumstantiaI Evidence.

Once while two famous students of
Blackstone were arguing a case one
said he could illustrate his part of
the argument. which was that of cir
cumstantial evidence, by story of a
boy who was fond of custard pie.
One day when left alone at home he
got into the pantry and, finding Gus
tard pie, ate it all. Then, thinking of a
certain strap which was hanging in the
hall, he caught the house cat and
smeared custard over Its paws and
mouth and turned it loose to roam at
its will
Finally the old man returned and
soon saw the cat with its telltale
mouth and marks of its paws upon the
floor Getting a rope, he tied the poor
cat to tree limb, went to the house
and got his gun. The boy, who had
hidden himself in the rear of the barn,
remarked as he heard the report,

stantial evidence."-New England Mag

the hammer now in use. save that there
were no claws on the back for the ex-
traction of nails. The Asst hammer

some time during the middle ages. IL
Illuminated manuscripts of the eleventh
century represent carpenters with claw
hammers. Hammers are of all sizes,
from the dainty instruments used by
the jeweler, which weigh less than half
an ounce. to the gigantic fifty ton ham,
mer of shipbuilding establishments.
some of which weigh as much as fifty
tons and have a falling force of from
ninety to hundred. Every trade has
its own hammer and its own way Of

i. JOURNAL TALKS
"a TO ADVERTISERS
A Newspaper Talk
TO the Merchant

Many merchant who has suf-
ficient confidence in his wares to
believe that he could sell more of
them if he could personally inter-
view more of the people who
need them hesitates to do his
talking through the advertising
columns because it costs more
than talking across the counter.
But the newspaper "ad" reaches
more prospective customers in
one day than the merchant can
reach personallyin year; it gives
him the advantage of doing all the
talking himself, and fixes his claims
permanently in the minds of his
listeners, while oral pleas leave
but a fleeting impression. These
privileges and powers are well
worth paying for-and they cost
little in comparison with the
actual cash returns. The proof
is to be found in the experience
of all successful traders.
If "a little nonsense now and
then is relished by the wisest
men," SO is little jingle-especially
when it rings true like the follow
ing rymes from the Business
