SLOW IMPROVEMENT
Dun's Review Speaks of the
Trade Conditions for
The Future.
SPRING SEASON OUTLOOK.

New York, Feb. 25-Dispatches to
Dun's Review indicate a small net I'M
provement, especially in the outlook
for the future. Trade at New Or
leans continues fair. but is not up to
the average for the season, partly be-
cause jobbers are conservative in the
extension of credit. Louisville re-
ports some gain in sales of agricul-
tural implements, but reports from
clothing manufacturers are not cheer
full and collections are still slow.
Trade is still dull at Cincinnati, de
spite clearance sales and lower prices.
Dry goods business has improved TO
some extent, but clothing manufacture
ers report numerous cancellations, and
collections are slow. Conditions at
Cleveland show signs of improvement
and manufacturers report evidences
of fairly active spring season. Buy
ers are attending from outside points
and purchasing freely, although not
so literally as a year ago.

ROOSEVELT A RED
SAYS SOCIALIST
Claims That the President Is
A Socialist at Heart.

Hoboken, n. j., Feb. % President
Roosevelt is claimed by the anarch-
lists of the country as one of their
own. This declaration was made by
Alexander Berkman, one of the lead
ing reds of the country, the man
who shot Henry Prick and served a
long prison sentence, in an address
to the Social Studies Club. Berk-
man said:
THE man with the glittering teeth
is one OF us at heart, though he has
not the courage of his convictions as
yet Although he has many faults,
We must give him credit for having
some sense at times.
But we have no confidence in
Roosevelt. Though he has done much
in the last few months to aid our
cause, he has not done it for us, but
for himself. He is selfish. He works
for Roosevelt all the time and not for
the downtrodden man. His only aim
is to overthrow the Government for
himself, SO that he can be dictator
great Poohbah and His Royal Nibs OF
. The United States.

WANT THE CANTEEN
Asserted That the Ranks of
The Army Will Not Then
Be Depleted.
WOMAN CAUSE OF RUMPUS.

Washington, Feb. 25.-"Give us
back the canteen."
From private to major general. the
United States army is making this re
quest as if with one voice. So en-
phatic is the entreaty, congress would
restore the canteen instanter were it
not for the ever watchful eye of the
women temperance workers.
Representative Richard Bartholdt, of
Missouri, is the father of bill provid-
ing for the re-establishment of the can
teen The friends of the canteen are
amassing strength quietly, but it re-
quires a strong congressional heart to
deliberately step out in the open as a
target for thousands of blue ribbon Or
ators.
Besides all the old canteen argyll
mentS, there is one new one this sea-
son. Congress is asked to restore the
canteen as a desperate move to turn
the tide of depletion of the ranks. The
army is still more than 10000 men
short.
The anti-canteen law ought to be
repealed" said Major General Freder-
lex D. Grant, but the prospects Of
congress doing anything right away
are not very encouraging. Politicians
do not care to antagonize the extreme
prohibition element. Congress sees,
| think, that it has made a mistake,
but it is a hard thing to go back now"
Senator Warren, chairman of the
senate committee on military affairs,
You see the good women have got
it into their pretty heads that the can
teen is a thing of the devil and that it
makes a gin mill out of every army
post and these good women have stir
ed up such a rumpus that representa-
| tives Of the people are afraid to run
counter to it. The canteen does not
send army boys to the devil, but keeps
them from going to him. The canteen
allows them to have light, pure beer in
decent surroundings, instead Of driving
| him outside to dens of unspeakable
moral character. The women reply;
Well, no we'll brought up boy will sc
to these places anyway So there you
are The fact is the boys are going to
the bad in this manner, and facts are
| facts
Representative julius Kahn of San
Francisco, has a curious document in
! the form of petition for the restora.
! ton of the canteen signed by several
/ hundred citizens living adjacent to the
presidio.

points in Washington. The company
admitted the concessions and fought
the prosecution on the ground that
by amendment the Elkins act, so as to
provide for punishment by imprison-
ment rather than by fines. the Hep
burn law had so modified the original
law as to accomplish its repeal and
render punishment under it imprac-
ticable. Today's decision was an
nounced by Justice by Justice White
and affirmed the finding of the dis
trict court and the United States cir
cult court of appeals.

CROMER CANDIDATE
With Consummate Skill, Form
er Representative Is
Laying Plans.
BELIEVED HE WILL WIN.

George W. Cromer. Of Muncie, is a
candidate for denomination for con-
gress in the Eighth district, according
to word coming from there. He will
be nominated, unless he says that he
doesn't want TO make the race. 1t Is
conceded now that everything neces-
sary is favorable to his denomination
and that no politician in the state ev-
er laid his plans with as consummate
skill and energy as Cromer has dis
played during the last few months.
When he re- turned from Washington
at the end of his term he was consign-
ed to the down-and-out class, but in a
short time he has turned defeat into
victory. SO far as many of the anti
Cromer men are concerned they are
as bitter as ever toward him. but the
old feud is dying out, and it is thought
now that Cromer would stand a good
chance to win at the polls. He is
showing no quarter to those who led
the bolt against him, but it Is said that
he is not trying to make trouble for
members of the party who scratched
the ticket at the solicitation of his en-
emies. His victory in Delaware coun-
ty was complete. and it is now believ-
ed that he will win in all the counties
except Madison. which will back AL
bert Vestal 1t is the understanding
that it is not Cromer's plan to an
nounce his candidacy until the dele
gates meet at Anderson, March 26, to
make the nomination.

"SCAB."

Uncle Joe Cannon has at last shown
himself In his true colors. He has
thrown aside his hypocritical attitude
of the past few years and now lines
I'D with the rest of the enemies of the
country against President Roosevelt.
Cannon objects to the domination OF
the country by one man. He wants
us to return to the good old days when
the president was more or less Of a
figure head and the senate and house
transacted the business of the land,
with more or less graft on the side
and no one to interfere with it. Can
non, however, mistakes the temper OF
the people OF this country in expect
ing that they would be satisfied to re-
turn to tho old regime. Our eyes
have been opened and we now know
that some of the greatest rascals and
thieves in the country are those who
in the past have posed as Legislators
vicinity such men have served Wall
streets crooks and we want no more
of them Some there are who will
praise Cannon for his frank stand
against the president and will declare
he is but voicing his honest opinion.
If that is the case why did he not
voice that honest opinion years ago
when President Roosevelt first began
his crusade against predatory wealth
Cannon Is candidate for president.
We don't want him nor anyone else
who waits until the last minute ovoire
their honest opinions. In the words
of union labor Cannon's attitude is
that of ''scab'' and this country does
not want ''scab' president.

SHOP GIRLS PROTECTION.
PROTECTING THEM

ENcE IN WOMEN FROM MAN
JUSTIFIES THIS.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The girl in
the laundry, in the shop and the stores
received an able defense today in de-
c! sion Of the supreme court, which de-
dared that for her own health and the
well being of the race, legislation to
protect her from the greed as we'll as
the passions of man was justified. The
decision further said that concerns en-
plGying female labor in Oregon can
not require girls to work more than
ten hours day in compliance with a
law enacted by the legislature of that
state in 1908.
The decision was prompted by the
, case Of Curt Miller, laundryman, do
ing business in Portland, Ore, who su-
ed the state. Miller attacked the law
as unconstitutional, charging that It
puts limitation on the power of con-
tract. The Oregon supreme court up
held the statute on the ground that It
is a police regulation, and its decision
was affirmed by the federal supreme
court in it's ruling today. The opin-
ion was by Justice Brewer.
Must Favor the Sex.
! Holding first that women's rights
can be no more infringed than those of
men. Justice Brewer went still further
and held that on many accounts wo-
man is entitled to greater protection
than lter brother. On that point he
said in part:
| differentiated by these matters
| from the other sex, she is properly
placed in a class by herself and legis-
lation designed for her protection may
be sustained, even when like legisla-
ton is not necessary for men and could
not be sustained. 1t is impossible to

still looks to her brother and depends
