WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL
Operation Of Injurious Trusts Can Be
clrtaIisd BY Effort: Of the
Masses.

An evil that at present IL receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press 10 the concentration of vast
amounts Of money in the hands Of
corporations. The accumulation Of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law, will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has .
family. at his death will apportion to
each member a share of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
Increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children. they
In return will divide the accumula-
tually, 1t matters not how great the
fortunes OF any one Of the family
may become. 1t Is only matter of
time until there is scattering of the
money. and great portion Of 1t will
pass from the members Of the family.
On the other hand, corporation meth
DDS mean the building Of system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora
lions are machines that work con-
tinuously, and when one part Is brok-
en- 1t is replaced by new one. Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result In a
discontinuance of the Standard OIL
company; the death Of the present
stockholders OF any Of the large trust
companies. banks or insurance COM
panies will make little difference in
their existence. AL will go ahead.
The safeguards Ct corporations In
many cases are excellent. But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
ttion and the controlling Of prices.
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled to pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new COM
blnations to control trade. 1t is the
Capitalization of capital that makes
such operations possible. The person
who assists In concentrating money in
large financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines.
Ii Is only by individual action on the
part Of every small producer and lab
orer In the country that conditions
can be changed. Stand by every home
Industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home.
and thus bring about conditions that
will make the operations of trusts and
combinations impossible.

SCIENCE OF TOWN KILLING.
unwise Booming and Maintaining Elk.
brilliant Prices an Effective Way.

There Is a county seat town in one
of the central western states that has
population of about 5000. II is sur
rounded by one of the richest farming
countries. For years this town has
been at a standstill. II anything it
is retrograding. and even farm values
near II are lowering, while poorer land
some 20 miles away is advancing.
Why should such a condition exist?
The answer is plain. A dozen years
ago there was boom. With the boom
real estate went to the top notch.
Keeping pace with the boom the
prices of products In that town went
up. There was a collapse in real es-
tate values, but the merchants re-
NAMED, and kept up the high-price
habit. That Is they wanted more than
an equitable share of profit. Another
town was started 20 miles away. Some
of the farmers went there. 1t was
found that the merchants were selling
goods at lower price. The stock
buyer and the grainbuyer paid few
certs hundred more for their pur-
chases. The habit Of trading at the
new town grew. The business men OF
the old town couldn't learn lesson.
Before they knew 1t their customers
were leaving them. So 1t has been
since then. The merchants have been
plodding along. The money that
should be retained in the town went
elsewhere. Much Of 1t went to build
up the competing town.
Mistakes like this one are made
frequently. Towns become dead
places instead of live ones. In fact,
some towns are SO dead that the farm
ers who withdrew their trade from
them are suffering In decreased farm
values. They take no interest in
these places, other than to visit them
now and then. Unhealthy booms. I'M
healthy prices made by the merchants,
and which are foolishly maintained.
are quite certain to kill town even
though 1t may be a county seat and
have some advantages nearby towns
may not have.

support Home Newspapers.

The country newspaper is a power
in the land. Its place can never be
filled by the big daily papers or the
bulky magazines or agricultural jour
nails. 1t fills field entirely Its own.
1t is the barometer Of the place in
which 1t is published. Its news pages
represent the life of the people, and
its advertising pages should reflect
the business activity OF the town. 1t
is the duty Of every good citizen to
give his support to the local press.
Particularly the business men should
patronize 1t with view Of lettering
his trade. 1t is not money wasted to
use advertising space in 1t. One good
merchant in the town who under
stands how to advertise rightly. can
bring trade to the town that will help
every other business man in It. But
all should do their part, and the store
keeper who does not give his home
paper the support 1t merits Is not the
wisest kind Of business man.

AGAINST PREMIUM GRAFT.
Laws Passed by Some States Prohibit
Ing Prizes In Packages Of Foodstuffs.

Some classes Of people when they
wish to purchase goods. look more aft
er so-cafled bargains than quality, and
quite often the bargains prove expen-
sive. It seems that the getting Of
something for nothing is attractive to
the average person. or late years
there has grown up practice among
manufacturers of staple articles, par
ticularly in the food line. OF giving a
prize with each package of their goods.
1t IL apparent that there is an inclina-
ton towards gambling in the make
up Of most people, and this spirit is
appealed to largely by the giver of
prizes. The purchaser seems to over
look the fact that he receives nothing
other than he pays for. Whatever ar
ticle II given as a premium represents
so much money value and certainly
the manufacturer does not lose by
the operation. The value of what is
given must be made up by either the
retailer or the consumer, and 1t is gen.
orally the consumer who pays the
cost.
Retail Erocers, Az well as the PEG.
pie In general, have cause to be thank
full to the lawmakers of some states
for making 1t illegal to place premiums
In packages Of foodstuffs. Such law
is now in force in the state of Nebras-
ka- Premium. and prize giving has
been . cause Of trouble and disturb

Of Inferior goods, palming on their
poor productions, relying more upon
the prize given to secure trade than
the merit of goods. The wise house.

will b careful to discriminate between

prizes. It IL well when you buy arti-
cles in the food line to avoid buying
anything which has prize attach

cause 1t wasn't good match, but
because the Cuban girl violated the
most sacred and ancient customs Of
her country by flirting with = stranger
on the public street, by motoring with
him without a chaperon, and because
the Yankee, instead of doing rs Cuban
lovers do. openly disregarded the ira
ditions and scored the marriage Gus
toms of the island.
But for his hurried departure with
his dark skinned bride on a honey
moon trip to New York the Yankee
lover would have paid the penalty for
his folly and his audacity. It's the
paternal bullet that makes Cupid toe
the mark in Cuba and protects the
sacred institutions Of the little repub-
lic-the home and marriage.
BY the time the audacious Yankee
and his bride reached New York the
father had relented. but ever since
that day all Cuba has been discussing
the American invasion Of their Gus

1t has become a national problem
in Cuba and 1t soon may become
national issue, to be inscribed in the
platforms Of the two leading political
parties, to be settled at the polls on
election day. The Cubans of all classes
are crying out that the Americaniza-
ton of the island has gone too far.
The retiring, modest senorita who
from time immemorial has been court
ed as she pressed her face against
the iron gratings Of her barred win

duenna beside hers, must not be
wooed and won on the streets or In
the plaza. The doors to her house
must be kept shut against the sutton
until the day Of her marriage. She
must not permit even the tips Of her
hngers to be soiled by the touch OF
her Romeo's hand until the gold ring
has been given and taken. and all the
vows have been murmured.
These are the cries that are being
raised by the mothers and fathers Of
Cuba, and the pretty senoritas are
muttering complainingly, for already
they have grown to like the American
| way. It's less trouble and the love
story moves more rapidly to the

told them they must continue to
make love from behind the bars of
their queer windows with duenna

them to smile as they pass their suit

them to cling to the old Cuban Gus
toms that are SO distasteful to them.

Of rising in rebellion against their

they are disinherited, that they'll
