FOR poLlcYHoLDERs TO NOTE
From the New York Journal OF
Commerce.

There is no sound reason for all
this cramping and crowding, and If 1t
were not permitted. business could be
done over wider areas without any
practical disadvantage and with
greater comfort for the community.
This craze comes from sheer greed to
make the most from each plot of earth
that is favorably located. 1t is said
that the Equitable values the block
upon which it proposes to rear this
tower of Babel at $15,000,0 900, and the
building is to cost $1O,OOO,00O. What
it aims at is an income from this
property proportioned to its assumed
value, ami it is pretended that it is
for the benefit of policyholders. 1t is
really for the advertisement of the
company, and there is risk in it. 1t is
said that officials have estimated"
that the return on the $4,000, 900
property should be from to 10 per
cent" 1t will be nothing approach
ing it, and may be less than 4 per
cent. There is a possibility that at
times it may prove a poorer invest
ment for the company as source of
income. 1t is not the intent of the
law that the funds of life insurance
companies shall be invested in real
estate for revenue. They are allowed
to own or erect buildings for use in
their business, and under cover of that
restricted privilege, they put an
enormous capital into structures, most
OF which they rent as real estate
business.

Geauga county is going to give w.
j. Bryan larger vote this year than
he received in 1896, at which time he
received over 1900 votes in the
county. A number Of Republicans
have expressed bitterness toward
Taft for exhibiting such marked
friendship for George B. Cox, espec-
tally after Taft denounced him so Bit
terly at Akron in the gubernatorial
campaign of two years ago. The Re-
publicans gave Cox a drubbing then,
and they have not forgotten it, and
will give him another if Taft persists

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, it will be
remembered, in 1884, placed himself
at the head of the old Greenback
party. with the hope of compelling
the Democratic party to accept him
as it's leader. He failed of this. and
4. was then thought by many that he
would draw away 60 many Democrats
as to insure Republican success. Mr.
Cleveland was elected, and Butler was
supported by the New York Sun and
received about 10000 votes The
Nashville Banner points out some re-
semblances between Buffers party

Dcen more insolent in/their demands
for further privileges-still more class
legislation. In this emergency the
dominant parties are arrayed against
the people, and are the abject tools of
tine corporate monopolies," II will be
one Of the amusing occupations Of the
summer and autumn to see whether
Mr.. Hearst, with the same material.
can greatly improve the Butler record

The editor Of the Alliance Leader
states that the Morning News is too
Democratic in it's policy. This GER
taihly is amusing because Of the fact
that the Leader. while processing to
be Democratic organ, is owned and
controlled by that bloodthirsty cor
poration and union labor crusher, the
NJ organ Engineering company. while
the editor is a rank Republican and
probably never supported a Democrat
at the polls in his life. It certainly
must be a hard task fer such Re-
publican to presume to write Demo-
cratic editorials.

The village of Damascus, which
celebrated its hundredth anniversary
on the Fourth has solved the saloon
question for itself. The people there
did not vote out the evil but re-
Trained from patronizing the one gin
shop that started there. If there
were more abstainers there would be
fewer saloons. If the people of the
United States were Christianized
they would not patronize the saloon
and there would be no need of voting
on the wet and dry question.

''That, as the running of n labor

The above choice bit of English

The novelty is one of those little
bits of cardboard, with a .six-inch
rule printed on one side and a
six months calendar on the ether.
The wording informs the reader
that the Buttericll patterns and

On the back of the returned card

Cause Of the Strike.

The cause leading up to the
Aianana strike are as follows:
On the 10th of June the miners
met III convention and adopted
and offered the renewal of the old
scale to the commercial operators.
Inc operators refused and made a
counter proposition of flat scale
Oh 4I4 cents ton. or reduction
OF 10 cents ton, or Offering them
SO cents for work which the min.
erS received 81 previous to the lst
OF July. This proposition was re-
ierred to the national officers of
the United Mine Workers. who
made counter pi OPPOSITION of 55
cents a ton flat scale, which propo-
sltlon the commercial operators
turned down. The operators then
decided that they would not have
anything to do with the union
miners, although the miners in
their proposition were agreeing to
receive 96 cents for that which
they had received 81 previously.
The mine owners thinking the
United Mine Workers were de-
funct and believing that they
could crush the union out of eX-
lStcncc and establish The open shop
and by that means make serfs
and slaves out of the men who
delVe in the mines for their living.
Forcing them to dig from 25OO to
5000 pounds of coal for a ton and
trade back all their earning in the
commiss;lries and have them COM
pletely at their mercy.
But to their CONSERVATION the
miners union soon developed into
a very live corpse. For their own
protection the miners Immediately
organizing, and today
the organization contains 5000
more members than it.did July 1st.
The public in general can readily
see from the above who is re
sponsible for the present unhappy
which exists in the
birmingham district, and we hope
the time is not far distant when n
settlement will be made which
will bring peace and prosperity to
that district.

JUDGES SCORED
BY ATTORNEYS
Ruling of the Court in Standard
Oil Case Based on Wistate-
ments of Records is Alleged.

The Government has filed its
petition for rehearing of Stand
ard Oil cases. The Court of Ap-
peals is requested to reconsider the
the reversal by Judges Grosscup,
Banker and Seaman of the S29,
100000 fine imposed upon the
Indiana corporation by Judge X.
Nj. Lands, and to ask the advice
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States on certain vital questions at
issue.
In a carefully worded docu.
ment of considerable length, the
Government asserts that the criti-
cism of Judge Lands by the ap-
pellate judges and their reasons
for reversing the ruling are based
upon misstatementS of the records
and misinterpretations of his
rendering of the law. "The
opinion, as it stands" the Govern
ment's petition concludes, Ger
roneously states material portions
of the record; does injustice to the
trial judge; leaves doubtful in a
new trial the rule of law to be ap-
piled, both as to knowledge on the
part of the shipper and as to the
number of the offences; appears to
be in conflict with the language of
the Supreme court and with pre-
vious language of the presiding
judge of the court, with the great
weight Of legal authority; and if
permitted to remain unmodified
will tend to encourage disobedience
to law, to impede the the enforce
ment Of salutary statutes and
largely 10 defeat their purpose.
