We Want Business

But what Of that?- everybody else does
too. Here's the point, however: We're willing
and anxious to pay for it; pay with unusual
quality Of goods and with prices that bring the
trade.
When it comes to suits-mens suits espe-
cially-weve learned the how Of getting the
trade No secret. Just give man little bet
ter bargain than he can get anywhere else and
he'll trade can't help it, its for his own interest
to do it.
But maybe we don't give the best values.
maybe we don't give the best service, maybe we
don't stand back Of our suits. That's true
maybe we don't and if we don't you're foolish
to buy Of us.
But we're doing almost as much business
this year as last Suits are going out every day
and it's certainly true that some think we do
and whole lot have thought so for years,
Come in-see what you think.

CONFESSION
Mystery Of Guinness Farm Yet
UnsoIved
SCHELL TALKING AGAIN
scHELL TALKING AGAIN
Has Given Out No Particulars Of
Conversation With Suspected
Hired Man.

Laporte. Ind. May 14-Little appar-
ent Roadway was made yesterday to-
wards solving the mystery of the IA
deaths thus far discovered on the
farm Of Mrs. Belle Guinness. While
little doubt remains that Mrs. GUM
ness either alone or aided killed the
ten persons whose bodies have been
unearthed In the barnyard, there Is
still no definite evidence as to who, IL
anybody, slew the four persons found
In the ruins Of the burned farmhouse.
II Is not even definitely established
that the burned woman's body Is that
of Mrs. Guinness.
There was the usual grist OF letters
today. relating to possible victims OF
Mrs. Guinness. The most plausible
came from a merchant OF Usage City.
Kan. but the description OF the miss
ing man, Emile Tell, is faulty.

TO INVESTIGATE OPIUM
The President Asks That an Internal
Ional Inquiry Be Made.

Washington, May 1.-THE presi-
dent yesterday transmitted to Con-
gress a letter from Secretary Root
counseling the beginning at once OF
an international investigation into the
opium question in the Far East, and re-
commencing that Congress appropri-
ate $4,000 to enable this country to
take part In the inquiry. In his letter
the president says:
In laying before the Congress the &C.
companying letter from the secretary
of state / heartily recommend that
appropriation be made as therein re-
quested for the participation Of the
United States in the coming investi-
cation of the plum question In the
Far East by Joint international COM
mission. The cordial reception Of this
proposal by the governments concern
ed is. cause Of qualification to the
American government and people.
The high aim OF the international pro-
iect, placing as 1t does, considerations
of human welfare above all others, Is
a fine example Of what is best In mod
ern civilization and international good
will and cooperation. Such an under
taking cannot but appeal most strong
ly to the American people, and / am
happy to lay before the Congress this
opportunity to enable the United
States to do It's full share In the
work
Secretary Root In his letter to the
president says:
In September, 1906 in view of in.
dications that the imperial Chinese
government was ready to make scri-
Gus efforts to eradicate the opium evil
the department OF state, by your dir
ection, entered upon correspondence
with the governments of Great Brit
ain. France, Germany, Japan, the
Netherlands and China, to learn whet.
her they would favor q joint investi-
CATION Of the subject, so important TO
humanity, particularly to all nations
having any direct or indirect respon.
sibility for the welfare of those ORR
entail peoples among whom opium Is
used. AS the result OF a full ex.
change of views with the govern.
ments interested | am happy now TO
have the honor to report that the pro.
posal of the United States has been
accepted by all the above mentioned
governments of Portugal. 1t has
been deemed wise that investigation
be by joint commission, that each
government shall, In the first instance
prosecute investigation In It's own
territories, and that attention shall
be given to the commercial and agri
cultural as well as the other scientific
aspects of the subject.
Secretary Root says that the gov
ernments have been invited to send
their accredited commissioners to
Shanghai on January /. 1909. "the
idea being that il will be found con
venient for the commissioners of the
various governments to make theil
investigations during the intervening
months, and then to confer together
ut Shanghai for an exchange of views
which, 1t is hoped, will result In def
mite action.
