tention or argument has not been
generally accepted by economists.
On the contrary, it is strongly COM
bated by Dr.. J. L. Loughlin in an
article contributed to the Journal
of Political Economy.
This writer shows that the increased
supply of gold has really not been
responsible for the rise of prices.
On the other hand, the general wealth
of the world has increased as rapidly
as the output of gold, and has alb
sorbed the gold into the International
circulation without cheapening it.
In fact, it is questionable whether
the supply of gold is relatively as
abundant now as it was ten years
ago.
AS for the increase in wages, DR..
Laughlin shows that this has not
been in proportion to the increase
in prices; has not followed the move
ment of prices; and has had a dis
tinct movement of its own, attribu-
table largely to causes in nowise
connected with prices.
After a thorough study of the sit
uation DR.. Loughlin discovered facts
which convinced him and other econ.
omists that the high scale of prices
has been influenced by the tariff and
trusts. His figures obtained by care

ton to the amount of protection
given various commodities, but well
beyond the scope of the protection.
On the other hand, the monopolized
articles controlled by the trusts have
uniformly increased in price, and as
the field of monopoly has expanded
general prices have steadily risen.
This will be discouraging informa'
ton for the great host of consumers,
While trusts are multiplying almost
every day, tariff revision is upward
instead of downward. This means
that the people may look not fol
lower, but high prices.

Banishing Mother-in-Law Jokes.

New Orleans States.
The country owes Mr.. B. F. Keith,
of Boston. a vote Of thanks. He re
Gently issued an order banishing from
his chain f theaters the mother-in law
Jokes. and the prohibition followed the
protest of a friend who had been dis
gusted by the jests perpetrated before
the Boston footlights. Simple justice
alone" Mr.. Keith said, in announcing
his decision, demands that artists
should observe the golden rule when
referring to ones dearest friend, the
mother, for no matter how the mother
in-law may laugh with the others at
the illusions, it is difficult to under
stand how a sensitive person can un-
derstand them.
As a rule the jokes are decidedly
more offensive than funny. hence the
example set by Keith should be fol
lowed generally by theatre managers.
The mother-in-law joke, in its various
forms, is as old as the Pyramids, per-
haps older. It has come down to us
through so many generations that to
day it suggests everything that is stu
pid, decrepid and emaciated, and 1t
long ago palled on the public taste.
But in spite of this fact the vaude-
vile artists have made the mistake OF
trying to keep the feeble thing alive
by various kinds of treatment. When
an audience laughs at it the effort is
purely mechanical and subjects the
human system to a strain it might
well be spared.
The average mother-in-law is an
agreeable and affectionate woman and
q very loyal friend. Everywhere the
unpleasant mother-in-law is the ex
ception rathr than the rule, therefore
It is about time to abate a joke which
has become a nuisance, which is often
grossly offensive and as a general
thing so silly as to offend the intelli.
gence. Mr.. Keith is to be commended
for cutting the hoary old relic OF the
dead ages out of his theatres and
making room for something that is
really funny.

NO MASSACRE OF JEWS,
SLIGHT DISORDERS ONLY.
Sensational Reports Of Massacre Again
Denied at Kiev.

Kiev, Sept. 23.-There has been no
massacre of Jews in Kiev. There have.
however been some slight disorders
which apparently have been the foun-
dation for the sensational reports sent
abroad. But these encounters were so
unimportant, similar clashes occurring
almost daily, that they were not even
mentioned In the local newspapers.
An investigation shows that on Sep
tember a reactionary assaulted a Jew
in Slobodkt. a suburb of Kiev. A num-
bcr of Jews then attacked tea house
where a reactionary leader was hold
ing a meeting. They broke the WIN
dows of the house with stones and de-
manded that the leader be delivered
into their hands. Instead of complying
the reactionaries sailed forth and at
atcked the Jews and in the struggle a
few persons were wounded. The af-
fair was in no way serious. The Jews
at Kiev knew nothing OF what had
transpired. in spite of the fact that
Slobodkt is just across the river from
this city Again on September 81 there
was another encounter Of no import
ance.
