The Cost Of Living In America.


What every careful housekeeper b
The land, likewise every spendthrift
purse bearer, has found out for herself
the bureau Of labor at Washington now
confirms-the cost Of living has increas-
ed again. The bureaus statistics re-
late to wholesale prices. Retail prices
are now being tabulated and compared.
The increase in cost of 25S commodi-
ties in 1906 over 1906 was more than
~ per cent, and compared with 1897
the rise amounts to 36As per cent. con-
siderably more than one-third.
The study of the bureau was extend
ed to farm products, foods. clothes and
clothing, fuel and lighting, metals and
implements, lumber and building ma
terials, drugs and chemicals. house fur
nishing goods and miscellaneous COM
modities. Only two of the nine groups
showed decrease in price as COM
pared with 1905-drugs and chemicals
and farm products-but there must
have been some mistake about the lat
ter or else the cornerers of butter and
eggs have been playing low down
game with the consumers.
The bureau Of labor has made no at
tempt to go into the causes of the rise
and fall of prices. The aim has been
to give the prices as they actually pre-
vailed in the market. In explaining
why it does not discuss the increase in
prices the bureau says:
The causes are too complex, the relative
influence Of each too uncertain, in some
cases involving too many economic ques-
tons, to permit their discussion in con-
nection with the present article. 1t will
be sufficient to enumerate some of the in
fluences that cause changes in prices.
Such influences include variations in har-
vest changes In demand due to changes
In fashions, seasons, etc.; legislation or
dering internal revenue taxes. import du-
ties or bounties: inspection as to purity
or authorizations; use of substitutes-as.
for instance, an advance In the price of
beef will cause an increased consumption
of pork and mutton and. 1t may be add
ed, probable increase In the price OF
both pork and mutton; improvements In
methods Of production: cheapening OF
transportation or handling; speculative
manipulation Of the supply OF the raw
product: overproduction; unusual demand
owing to steady employment Of the con-
sumers: organization or combination OF
mills or producers, thus enabling on the
one hand greater or less control OF
prices, or, on the other hand. economies
in production or in transportation charges
through the ability to supply the article
from the point of production or manufac-
ture nearest the purchaser.

Publicity and Crime.

The crime problem is not confined to
our own country. Recently a Paris
journal. Cosmos, printed thoughtful
article to the effect that publicity given
to crime through sensa tional reporting
may result in actual duplication of
crime The writer cites examples from
medical work on the ContagiOn of
the horicidal impulse and adds:
It would be easy to multiply examples
pr crimes whose suggestion came to their
authors from reading newspaper stories.
1t is beyond doubt that acts of violence
of all kinds are often suggested by pa
thetic stories Of similar acts read in the
papers. The example is contagious The
idea takes possession of q weak or de-
pressed mind and becomes n sort Of IA
tnlity against which 1t is impossible to
struggle When we peruse the records of
criminal justice we must be deeply sur
prised at the preliminary instruction ac-
quired by murderers. Thieves. assassins
and all such rebels against law come
finally to entertain certain degree OF
pride in their crimes, and the publicity
that they receive encourages them to con-
tinue and raises up imitators. From this
point of view we can but regret the vivid
narration by the daily papers, often with
suggestive illustrations, of so called sem
sational crimes. making of their authors
interesting heroes Hosts Of individuals
find in these journalistic tales the germs
of criminal ideas. which thrive In prop
erly prepared soil and await only the
proper moment to sprout.
It has often been noted that crime
may be epidemic. In that case the sup
preston Of any Of the details of any
given crime which might spread abroad
the criminal impulse might well be I'M
dertaken by the governing authorities.

SEVEN ARE KILLED
IN NINE EXPLOSION
More May Have Died in Princeburg
Workings and Citizens Anxious
" Await ReScuers.

SCRANTON, Pa, June i9.-Seven
men were killed outright and two
others seriously injured in two explo-
sions of mine gas in the Johnson
mine at Priceburg late today. The
first explosion, which occurred about
3 O'Clock, was caused by the careless
ness of a doorkeeper who. by leav-
ing the door open, allowed gas to
accumulate in the workings. One
man was injured as result of this
explosion. The second explosion,
which resulted in the death of seven
men and the injury of another. re-
suited from the ignition of the dead
ly fire damp which accumulated after
the first explosion. About 1900 men
work in the mine No account was
kept of those who had come out be-
fore the explosion, and it is impos-
sible to determine until the rescuers
return if the death list is complete.

THE PRODUCE BUSINESS.

The increase of about 80 per cent.
in produce shipments of all kinds
into the city of Seattle during the
present season, and the fact that the
produce is of superior quality and
arrives in much better condition than
heretofore, again emphasizes the pro-
gress being made in this section.
Increased shipments, Of course, are
accounted for by the steady increase
in Seattle's population. More people
to feed has naturally increased the
demand for produce of every kind.
The fact that the produce arrives
in a vastly improved condition shows
that the grower is exercising greater
care in handling, packing and ship
ping his wares, and is a strong indl-
cation of the general progress being
made in the cultural processes of the
state. Producer, merchant and con-
sumner will, Of course. share equally
in these good results, for the pro-
Queer and merchant will lose less on
account of waste, and the consumer
will come nearer getting what he
pays for.
These are good Indications; they
mean a fa1rer income for those i'm
mediately connected with the pro-
duce business, and mean also
that the consumers of Seattle hereaf-
ter will be furnished with produce
that is at once healthy and of SUI
perior quality Seattle Post-lntelli-
gencer.

CRACKSMEN BLOW

Amount of Money Obtained is Tn

Operators Were Experts.

CHENEY, June 19.-Spokane
county is being searched today for
highwaymen who cracked the safe
in a Cheney saloon at an early hour
this morning. From the manner in
which the work was done, it is in
ferred that the cracksmen were ex-
perts, for they had taken every pre-
caution to do the job nicely and safe
ly.
The amount of money that the men
obtained is not known, as the saloon
keeper did not recall how much he
had put into the safe on closing last
night. The crooks made a successful
getaway, leaving not even so much
as a clew for the police to work on.
Nevertheless, word has been sent out
to all nearby towns to watch for sus-
picious characters.

A PROPER SENTENCE.

In St. Louis, the other day, Mr..
John c. Morris was convicted of col
oring oleomargarine and selling the
same without having the internal
promptly sentenced by the court to
pay fine of $6,10 and to two years
confinement in the federal peniten-
tiary at Fort Leavenworth. This is
the first penit entiary sentence that
has been imposed for oleomargerine
frauds, and it is an indication that
offenders against the oleomargerine
law may expect to receive the limit
in cases of conviction before the fed
eral court in Missouri.
1t has been given out, in a semi
official manner that the law impos-
ing a heavy internal revenue tax
upon oleomargerine colOred to iml-
tate butter has been violated to an
extraordinary extent all over the
country. While the manufacturers,
who can be kept under surveillance,
have abandoned the practice, as a
rule, the dealer has taken chances,
on account of the abnormal profits
which he can make when undetected.
He can buy from the manufacturer
at the oleomargerine price and sell
to the consumer at the butter price,
because the consumer, believing that
the law is observed, is no longer
keenly on the lookout to prevent
having oleomargerine put upon him
in lieu of the butter which he sup
poses he is buying.
This is peculiarly mean and obi
GUS fraud, which Injuries alike the
producers of pure butter and the
consumer. So far as the latter is
concerned, he is swindled, fatty.
There is no reason why the offend
ers against this law should be treat.
ed with the slightest leniency when
conviction is had. They violate the
law and swindle their customers
through greed. They take the risk
of violating the law solely to make a
dirty profit from a petty fraud. 1t is
hoped the example of the ST. Louis
court may be followed by other
courts before whom offenders of this
class may be brought Spokesman
