The Growing Cost Of Living

The problem of living, the
great problem of maintaining a
balance between the incomes OF
the masses and their necessary
expenses, is pressing the people
hard-harder than ever before,
harder than in times of the worst
business depression. Now, per-
haps it is we'll that prices are adj
vancing. Perhaps it Is necessary
to put the general public under
the screws of the trusts and other
combinations in such way that
the cause of hardship may be un-
mistakable. For it is practically
certain that the people will be
robbed just so long ashley Meth
er protest nor retaliate.
Food prices are 10 per cent
higher than they were a year
ago, and they were far too high
at this time in 1908. They are
more than 40 per cent higher
than they were ten years ago.
The cost of nearly all kinds OF
clothing will be greater as a re-
suit of the new tariff. Cottons
will especially increase. The
cheaper grades of mems suits and
women's dresses will be either
greatly increased in price or much
deferiorated in quality. The view
tariff hits the poor man much
harder than it does the man who
can afford to buy an expensive
suit or dress. There will be no
reduction in the cost of lumber
and there will be an increase in
the cost of paint. Furniture will
be more expensive, so will many
other kinds of house furnishings.
The cost of living is 40 per cent
higher than it was twelve years
ago.
In short, the drain for the nee
essities of food, clothing and
shelter, no matter how the indi-
vidpal or the family may econo-
mixe, will become heavier. That
is the way things are going, and
that Is the way things will con-
tinue to go just as long as the
people let them.
In the matter of food prices,
the trusts are not alone to blame.
The packers, for example, are
not wholly responsible for the ex-
cessive cost of meats. The for
eign demand for American corn
and wheat increases the cost of
grain, and the price of grain af-
fects the cost Of cattle, hogs and
other meat stock. The steady
upward tendency of eggs, butter
and poultry prices, however, is
due very largely to the use that
is made of the cold storage sys-
TEN. The advent of cold storage
ought to have meant fresher
eggs, butter and meats for the
consumer, not necessarily any
great increase In the cost of these
articles. But the practice of put
ting these products into cold stor-
age when they are most plentiful
and should be cheaper, to. dole
them out only so fast as they
may be put on the market in PEI
RODS of scarcity without lower
ing prices, has resulted In main
tanning relatively high prices for
all these articles, even at times
of great plenty.

the abuse they are made to suffer

Association.

mayors do not have in their
possession by Oct. 9th, the lat
est and best ideas on how to
run cities, it will not be the
fault of the st. Louis Centennial
Association and the Civic
League of st. Louis. The
former has arranged to bring
together and entertain at least
this number of chief executives
of municipalities Of the United
States during the week that the
one hundredth anniversary Of
the incorporation of st. Louis
will be celebrated, beginning
October Sd, and the latter has
seized upon the opportunity af-
forded to have the visitors join
in a great conference or series
of conferences on problems OF
city government.
Three thousand invitations
are being sent out for this feat
ure of the Centennial celebra-
ton, and although it is feared
that not more than one mayor
in three, whose presence is re-
quested, will be able to accept,
the gathering, nevertheless, will
be the most notable Of its kind
ever held. 1t is doubtful that
half as many city rulers as will
attend ever have met together.
Fully approaching the honor
which will be conferred upon
St. Louis by this assemblage,
the Centennial Association and
it's co-workers are making every
effort to provide appropriate en-
tertainment, and the wives and
daughters of the visitors will be
especially cared for.
The week will be a busy one
for the mayors and those who
accompany them, from the day
of their arrival, Monday, Octob-
er 4th, until their departure six
days later. For them it will be-
gin with a reception and a
luncheon the first day and will
include a banquet, attendance
at the Yelled Prophet ball and
facilities to see all of the other
chief events of the celebration.
Among these will be grand
pageants daily, and great bal
loon, airship and aeroplane
races.
The reception Monday will be
held at City Hall by Mayor
Frederick Il. Kreismann, who
is President of the Centennial
Association. Immediately fol-
lowing, at 1880 p. M, a lunch
con will be given at Hotel JEFF
ferson by the Civic League, and
other noted visitors who may
have arrived will be asked to
attend,
After the luncheon an i'm
portant conference will be held
at which the principal topic Of
discussion will be the ''commis-
sion" form of municipal govern
ment. 1t is expected that talks
will be made by mayors of
cities in which the plan already
is in operation, notable among
which are Des Moines, Iowa and
Galveston, Texas, and oppon-
ents of the plan also will speak.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of further
formal conferences is under
consideration by the officers Of
the League. 1t is probable that
at least one more, Tuesday
afternoon. on subjects to be se-
lected, will be arranged.
An invitation to and souvenir
of the Yelled Prophet ball will
be presented 70 each mayor who

STEAMSHIP OFFICIAL
BELIEVES IN VIRTUE OF
WIRELESS SYSTEM

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-Among
the passengers on the steamer Man
churia, arriving from the Orient today,
was r. P. Schwerin, vice president and
general manager of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company.
When told of the wreck of the
steamer Ohio in Alaskan waters and
of the important part played by wire
less telegraphy in the saving of the
lives of passengers and crew, he said:
L have not changed my views re-
garding the installation bf wireless on
our boats plying between here and the
far east, but l believe firmly in the sys-
TEN along the coast where there are
places to communicate with in case OF
danger Two of our coast vessels are
supplied with wireless and all Will be
also supplied.
"When steamers can communicate by
wireless a distance Of 1900 miles, l viii
have our Oriental steamers fitted with
it. but not before. Arrangements for
installing the system have been made,
but there is nothing more doing until
more stations are established
Schwerin denied having told that
Jack Binns, wireless operator on the
Inflated Republic, did nothing sensa-
tional.
What I did say" said Schwerin,
"was that Binns did nothing beyond
his duty, and that the real credit
should have gone to the stewards and
others who helped the passengers to
places of safety"

Doctor Slips Through Lines

DR.. George W. Critic, the Cleveland
surgeon who was reported to have
been summoned to Arden for consul

arriving or departing passenger at
either the Turner or the Arden station.
It is probable, however, that he slip
ped through the lines of correspond
ents unnoticed, took part in the con-
sultation and departed.
Mr.. Schiff denied here today that DR..
Critic was still at the house. Mr..
Schiff was at Arden house four hours.
The Importance of his visit cannot be

answer.
William Mcclellan, oVerseer of the
Arden farms, today said he voiced the
sentiment Of many other employees Of
the estate in saying their watchfulness
and solicitude in enforcing the doc
tors orders" were prompted by spirit
of love and respect for their chief,
rather than by any explicit orders.
Mcclellan said: There is not man
on the place who would not almost give
up his life to protect Mr.. Hartman
from harm or relieve him of any un-
necessary annoyance"
Mcclellan feelingly related many IN
stances when Mr., Hartman went out
of his way to show a personal interest
in his humblest emplOye. A number
of old employees are practically pen
stoned on the estate, he said, and to
relieve the sting of charity Mr.. Har-

of the Westerly team, as Holdsworth
put out a feeler towards Manager

Mr.. Stone came back with a few
homely truths when he told the West

to the, end as it was only by a piece
of bull luck that Westerly was in on a
chance at first prize, anyway. Holds

FLORIDA MAN WANTED
TO KNOW THE TRUTH
Put Cooper's Claim to a Test and Proved
Its Genuineness.

The theory of /. T. Cooper that
most of the ills of mankind emanate
from the stomach, and that it is only
necessary to restore that organ to nor
NAL condition in order to enjoy good
health, is rapidly being accepted as
correct by people In all parts of the
country. His further claim that his
New Discovery medicine will effect
this change quickly and permanently
is supported by a vast army Of fol-
lowers.
One of those to put the Cooper the
DRY and medicine to a test is F. w.
Ross, living at 205 Irvine street, Orlan-
do. Fla, and an honored resident of
that community. Mr.. Ross has made
a statement for publication with ref
erence to the result of his experiment.
in which he says:
"For the past ten years I have been
unable to do any work, and on num-
erous occasions when 1 tried to work
