THE MAN THAT PAYS THE BILL.

That grocerymen we'll the rest of humanity are
working for the trusts instead of themselves is the show
ing made by G. Anderson Thursday night at the gro
cerymen's association banquet. Mr.. Anderson had the
figures with him prove it. He cited list of Al articles
controlled by trusts Allowing Is per for operating
expenses Mr. Anderson figured that the grocers pay
ing total price of $1809 for these articles and selling
them at total price of $112.05
Whether the grocer makes up this apparent loss
other goods not monopolized by trusts stated
None of the dealers present announced any intention Of
going out of business because of the trusts.
In the particulars cited Mr. Anderson figured that the
trusts had the grocers working for them for nothing and
accounted for the wealth amassed by monopo
iistc methods partly because of this system of holup
But the average consumer is apt to still cling to the
idea that somehow he pays the freight He is prone to
the notion that the grocers association pretty healthy
sort of trust itself considering it's size and opportunity
He believes the association organization fixes prices
for individual members. There is well founded slspi-
con that 1t would prove exceeding unhealthy for the local
wholesaler who attempted to defy the DEGREES of the
taers association And the of the individual gro
who assayed little price making enterprise on his
initiative would doubtless encounter more rocks and
shocks than could be safely weathered Yet in this the
grocers association is not bit than any other line
1t is UNNECESSARILY better than many.
Considered apart from patriotic support local insti-
buttons the struggle looks like of canine devou
'ng another the biggest being on top naturally.
Organization is recognized the spirit of the age in
business, professions and other lines of human endeavor
The system differs in degree but very slightly in appica
ton The principle is always the matter how it
is CARRIED.
1t means, get the money because the man who has to
have what have to sell cannot go elsewhere and get
it at lower price.
And at the bottom of all is that great life principle
OF the nation known the people who must set
tie the final account.
They can't dodge it. The people are not an
Inch behind the times in organization either They have
reduced it to science far they go as ably
and systematically Rockefeller Morgan have in
their enterprises
But they can't get away from the mathematical GER
tanty that an increase in prices of everything they
dependent upon for existence keeps stated degree ahead
OF any increase in what they able to command in
wages The process is automatic What fruit it will fin
ally bring forth is the question of the future.

TREAT THE FILIPINOS FAIRLY.

The shame of the American congress is it's failure to
deal justly with the Filipinos.
Two powerful interests-tobacco and sugar--have
been able to prevent just tariff laws for the islands
Because these selfish trusts have nerfered we keep u
needless barrier against the two great money products
of the Philippine islands
This is not only short-sighted economic policy but
brutay selfish.
We shut out the FiIpnos from the chance to develop
their resources and shut ourselves from the
fits Because we do not produce enough of either of the
commodities for own use
We tie the hands of the Fpinos and tie our own
hands.
All for the sake of two trusts
The most absurd thing on the statute books of this
country is the tariff law respecting the Philippines

Short Story
AN ARIZONA ROM ANCE.

Bang. Bang!
That was the usual friendly
greeting Pete the Coyote made to
his lady love when he called to see
her each evening after roundup"
But Pete's "howdies," as he called
them, were always loaded, and one
of them, flying wild, had killed one
of old man Ludlow's prize steers.
So Pete was told to keep off the
Ludlow property and to make no
further advances to the fair daugh-
ter of the Ludlow household.
Marie Ludlow wept each evening
when she heard the two distant
shots somewhere in the locality Of
the Prairie Dog saloon. Her lover,
Pete, was proposing health to her
and vowing that before many more
round-ups he would marry her or
there would be few dead greasers
lying around the Ludlow outfit
One evening "Old Fiji" the half
breed who usually hung out at the
Prairie Dog. drifted into the Lud-
low gates and hunted out old man
| Ludlow.
Him. Pete" he said, him goin'
over yonder, Big Plain. Get mar
riage license, he says. Marry Marie,
your gal, he says "
What's that, Fiji?' inquired Lud-
low. Marry my daughter, Ell?
Well, we'll see"
But Fiji winked to himself and
| before he had left the place little
| Miss Marie had received a bit of
| brown wrapping paper with a mes
| sage from Pete scrawled upon 1t.
And old man Ludlow saddled his
swiftest broncho, bucked on his
| pistols and set out for Big Plain,
the county seat. He would have it
out with Peter. He would kill him
| at sight.
| SO buried in his CORY medtations
was the old rancher that he failed
TO notice the three strengthening
wagons pulled up at the side of the
road little below the windmill. As
he disappeared in the clouds of
dust down the trail man crawled
out from under the first wagon OF
the caravan and grinned 1t was
Pete the Coyote. or, as was written
in all spencerian deXterity on the
marriage certificate in his pocket,

| "All right said Peter, and a sec,
ond person crawled from under the
| wagon The latter wore a black
| Prince Albert coat, a silk hat and
bore a dark colored book under his
arm.
| The wedding at the Ludlow's that
evening was the most gorgeous So
cial event in the history of Prairie
Dog. Everybody of importance
about the country attended. The
groom. arrayed in fragments of a
dress suit, was voted the hand SOM
est man in all Arizona. The even.
ing passed away TRANQUILITY, except
ing for the accidental shooting of

The bride and bridegroom were
going to spend their honeymoon in
Big Plain. They weer to ride over
that night.

bridal couple swept ont of the LuJ-
low gates just as the virulent faith

barrow, the Chicago attorney, who Is
conducting the defense of George A.
Pettibone, had Harry Orchard, the
states witness, on the rack for two
hours and a half yesterday, endeavor-
ing to discredit his testimony. The
cross-exanination was rigid and eff
fective in that in It Orchard was pic
tured as an inhuman monster, a MUIR
derer, bigamist, %perjurer, gambler,
thief and incendiary. Profting by the
failure of Attorney Richardson. in the
Haywood trial, to shake the testimony
of Orchard, barrow made little attempt
to make the witness contradict him.

Twice only during the day did he
try to confuse Orchard In regard to
his testimony, and each time he fail
ed. Reading from the Testimony of
the Haywood trial. barrow ~endeavored
to make it appear that the witness had
changed his statements, but Orchard
forced his questioner to read more of
his testimony, given before showing
that his testimony had been the same
at both times. barrow laid particular
emphasis on the fact that Orchard
was a criminal before he became ac-
quainted with Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone.
