EDWARDS WRITES OF THE WEST
California is Fine Country But
if You Have Home Better
Stay in Newark

Los Angles, Cali, Aug. T.
Please allow me space to say t0
my friends of Newark and sur
rounding country that myself,
Claud. Glide and Charley Seward. :
left Newark July 5 for Los An
geles, and arrived here safe and
sound. We arrived at Kansas
City 4 p. m. on the 7th and laid
over there one day. Next stop
was Pueblo, where we stopped one
day and night. Next stop was
Salt Lake City. There we all went,
out bathing in the fine Salt Lake,
which is certainly grand. Then we
started on our journey for Los
Angeles and arrived here O. H..
July -. Then we all lit out for
the grand old Pacific, where wa
had another delightful time bath
ing and lounging around ON the
beach. Then back home and took
in all the sights of the city. Then
we started out to get work.
Claude and Charley got a job as
street car conductors but did not
like it and quit. Then l got Caude
a job as fireman on the railroad
and they sent him out to Winslow.
Ariz., and he says he likes it fine.
They pay from 1925 to $3.50 per
month. / got Glide a job from
the same company. The sent him
to Sanhardena, Cali. He gets So
per day and is learning the trade
as car builder. l got job at 81
per day and board attending bar,
but for myself think | will go to-
Goldfield and do better. Wages
range here something like this:
Street car work, "a cts per hour;
grocery clerk, $50 to $50 a month;
dry goods clerk, $50 to 1925. Any
laborer can get from s. to s. per
day. Carpenters $3.50 to $500,
bricklayers $6 to 50. Board and
room range from $50 up per
month. Claude pays $50 and
Glide $25.
We would be better contented
if we had Newark or our friends
out here with us, but we don't
want any more malaria off of the
beautiful old Swan Pond. We
are all in better health than when
we left. If any of our friends
want to ask anything Of the west
you can write me at 746 Maple
avenue and | will answer and tell
you all | can. And if you come
out here | will do all can for
you, but if you have home and
are enjoying good health, my adj
vice is to stay there.
| expect to make my home soma
where in the West, but ] am COM
ing back occasionally to see my
friends. am glad to hear of the
good results of the protracted
meeting at Newark. | want to say
to all who have taken up the good
work, to stick to it, and try and
get more to join in with you. 1t
fits you for better husbands and
better wives. May God bless you
all. CHAIx@

BLOW TO TOBACCO TRUST.
Uncle Sam Seizes Cigarettes Belong
 ing to British Branch.

Washington, Oct. 22.-In order to make the force of it's antitrust cam paign felt by international allies of the tobacco trust the government has seiz- ed more than $7.212 worth of ciga- "nttes owned by the British American Tobacco company. an English corpora ton which in the suit for dissolution of the American Tobacco company is named as one of the parties to a con- spiracy in restraint of trade within the meaning of the Sherman law
 The action comes as sharp remind CT that the Sherman law gives the government the power to seize the property of illegal interstate combina- tions. It might be invoked to seize oil products from the Standard Oil company or explosives from the pow der trust It is understood. however. that the attorney general will not go SD far but resort to the expedient at this time simply to reach the three great English companies which have made possible the absolute control of the tobacco market of the world

TAFT FAVORS LOW TARIFF.
Also Law Limiting Philippine Exports
 of Sugar to America.


 Manila, Oct 22.-There was a great demonstration in honor of Secretary of War William H. Taft, the occasion being a banquet arranged by con- mittee composed of members of the Manila assembly, The seCatary was cheered for five minutes when intro duced with the statement that there is no man to whom the Philippines owe more than to the president of the United States" the native islanders being particularly demonstrative.
 A silver loving cup of native make was presented to the secretary, who in expressing his thanks said he was gratitied when he heard President Os- mena say the United States had kept its every promise made to the Filipinos in letter and in spirit. He urged the importance of education in order to overcome the tendency blindly to fol- low one man. It was necessary to give all an equal opportunity that the son of the humblest person might aspire to the highest position in the state. He was confident that the assembly would unite with him to procure better con- ditions. He said it was important to choose the best men as delegates to the national congress.
 He hoped for the adoption of tariff as low as possible and a law limiting the exports of sugar and tobacco to the United States This would do good and would prevent the formation of another Cuba. where the absorption of energy in the production of the com modity meant the control of the masses by the few and was not in the interest of the government

BRYAN TALKS TO STRIKERS.
Tells Photographers That He Favors
 State and National Arbitration.

New York. Oct 22.-William Jen- hings Bryan condemned private indus trial mOnopOles and advocated arbi- tration in an address before a large assemblage of striking telegraphers and their friends fin Clinton hall In- cidentally he paraphrased the saying of Solomon. The wise man seeth evil and hideth himself. but the foolish pass on and are punished" Mir Bryan said that his revised version of this proverb read. The wise man gets the idea into his head. the foolish man in the neck
 T say he said. that God never made a man good enough to stand at the head of private monopoly. \ man at the head of a private monopoly is judge and jury in his own case. He grinds the producer and he grinds the employee. and then he charges what price he pleases. Human nature is too frail tO be intrusted with such power. favor state and national tribunals of arbitration. do not be- lieve that in this country compulsory arbitration in the sense of being able to enforce its decrees is possible. But as guide to the formation of public opinion arbitration is necessary. \ strike such as the one you are engaged in is an object lesson. It makes mo- nOpoly more o1ious and arbitration more desirable And although you men and women who are engaged in it suffer for yOur cause. you must re- member that there has been no re- form that has not been attended by suffering This willingness of men to suffer that the condition of those who come after them may be improved Is one of the SureSt proofs we have that man is created in the image of Cod

BARNEY IS FORGED OUT.
Head of Kniekerbocker Trust compan
 Virtually Deposed.

New York. Oct. 22.-The house clean ing broom which the New York cleM ing house is sweeping through th, financial institutions of New Yorl claimed another victim in Charles I Barney. president of the Knickerbocke Trust company of 53S Fifth avenue. A a meeting of the directors MT. Barne. was virtually deposed from the presi dency. and A. Foster Higgins. direct or in many rich Mexican mining raj way companies of 16 Exchange place was elected in his stead.
 The action in deposing President Barney is said to have been precipi tated by the refusal of the Nationa Bank of Commerce, in which J. Pier pont Morgan and Thomas Fortune Ryan are the dominant factors, to lon ger continue acting as the Knicker. booker Trust company's agent at ths clearing house.

BRYAN SCORES PRESS
Declares Trusts Control Some
 New York Newspapers.
SELF EVIDENT FACT, HE SAYS
Asserts That Roosevelt Was Able to Command More Contributions In 1904 Campaign From One State Than Could Democrats From Forty five.

New York, Oct. Exchanging that a large proportion of the great metropol- 1 itan newspapers were controlled by trusts and predatory wealth and that their columns were for sale to the highest bidder, William J. Bryan made bitter attack on such newspapers in a speech which he delivered at Cooper Union under the auspices of the Pro- gressive Democratic league.
 Although MT. Bryan offered no proof to substantiate his charge, he said that it was self evident and that corrobora. tive evidence was not necessary. The accusation was received with applause by the audience. who interrupted him with shouts of approval.
 Tt is one of the calamities of the age" Mir. Bryan said, that so many, not all. of the great metropolitan dai- lies are owned by interests not known to the public and are not gun as a newspaper, but as an adjunct to ex- ploit other enterprises. So many. not all, are owned by unknown men who hire brilliant editors to chloroform their readers while they pick their pockets.
 Columns For Sale.
 'I am very particular to say so many, not all,' because in Richmond I was quoted as saying all which was incorrect. I have been asked to submit proof of a New York paper. but shall not attempt to do so because no one is required to give proof of fact which is so self evident. have too large and too important work to enter into con troversy, even with newspaper.
 T have received information from sources which I believe to be trust worthy that a large proportion of newspapers are owned for no other purpose but to deceive the public. In many the columns are for Sae to the highest bidder. but perhaps I should not say the highest. because there is but one. aud it is predatory wealth.
 The opposition of these papers helps a man, while their support would udLIu HlLh III lut VttS oi ull noAtol people,
 Attacks Roosevelt.
 In about the middle of his speech Bryan attacked President Roosevelt. He said his party had no money in the campaign of 1904 in forty-tive states, following up references to the insur ance, banking and railroad scandals, and added. Yet we find that the pres ident was able to send out and raise more money to make campaign in one state than we had in forty-five states" He returned to his charge that President Roosevelt had stolen all his ideas and announced he would not per init any party or any Republican to run him off Democratic platform by adopting his doctrines He said he was perfectly willing to lease to the presi- dent for nominal rental the use of all of his ideas if only Roosevelt would put few of them into practice.
 Mir. Bryan after dwelling at some length on the evils of Centralization advocated the federal licensing of cor porations seeking to control 9 per cent of the total output of commodity and l the limiting of the business that such 1 might do to 90 per cent of | the total business in that commodity.
