How MonopoIIes Are Assisted.

During the past few months, mail
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents of agricul-
tural communities should understand
that concentration Of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
Of bringing on the financial depression.
They should also understand that the
mail order system is one Of the most
potent factors in this concentration;
that this system draws the life-blood,
the surplus money, from communities
where 1t is earned, taking it out Of
local circulation and using 1t to build
up monopolies In the large cities.

The Mendicant.

There are those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella-
ton put forth as conundrum. mean
ing II poor wretch beyond the power of

the term was in use as long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his Canterbury

this occurs:

The ''sompnoure" of Chaucer was, of
course, a summoner. or apparitor, and

have, 1t is believed, the origin of the
word. which came into common en-
plOyment later.

DIRECTORY.
Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
lucky has population of 2,147,174.
TIE area is 10000 square miles
400 of which is water. The streams
within the State, as rule head in the
Southeast and flow in a Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
structiOn of railroads and the devel-
opment of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South Of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only a limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost inexhaustible util-
tiles until time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have a coal area of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than i'll other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
ALWAYS welcome.

A Nonunion Strike.

The strike IN the car works at Pitts
burg IS an object lesson TO economists
and to students OF the labor problem.
It's lesson is the Importance OF the trade
agreement 20 industrial peace. This les
son implies another, and that is the i'm
portance OF organization, both Of en-
ployed and employers; for the trade
agreement Is a collective contract, and
IS practicable only with organized labor,
that can meet upon responsible end rep
resentative conditions organized capital
The notable feature OF this violent and
bloody strike at Pittsburg is that it is
one Of nonunion men. Here is another
proof. IL proof were needed that modern
unionism. intelligently conducted. is an
} agency for peace. When an employer
and more especially an impersonal en-
ploying corporation. treats only with IN
dlvidual wage-earners. they are at the
mercy Of it's self-made terms. II man
out OF work applies to such a source for
a fob. the question may be. not How
much pay do you nsk?' but How lit
tie pay viii you take?" Alone. unalded,
and with the need OF bread imperative,
the applicant has no choice but TO an
swer the second question as shrewdly
and as hunlSly as he may But II he be-
long to a union that has an agreement
with the employer, he may demand and
receive the standard wage; and II the
union perform It's duty. the worker win
render fun equivalent for his pay.
II has now become a fact that the in
dustr,es most thoroughly organized are
those most free from strikes. When the
time arrives for the continuance or the
modification OF an agreement between
workers and employers. the representa-
tives Of each side may meet in amicable
conference. II Is for the advocates Of
capital to prove that the condition OF the
particular industry concerned must lessen
the factor Of labor cost or cease produc-
ton. in case they wish 10 reduce the
scale OF wages. It IS FOR the spokesmen

One OF the perplexities confronting the
naval officials appears TO be the selection
Of a site for the 3,OOO-mile wireless tele-
graph station. originally intended FOR
establishment on the Washington Monu-
ment grounds. and. in fact, on the Monu-
ment itself The idea was promptly
squelched, as It should have been, con-
sidering the somewhat experimental
character OF such a station. the appa-
ratus OF which has never been tested
to ascertain whether 1t will perform the
long-distance communication expected OF
Il and claimed for II by the inventor.
1t is now suggested that the station be
located in the Soldiers Home grounds or
on the reservation where is situated the
Walter Reed Army General Hospital. be-
yond Brightwood. To both places there
has appeared the objection that the 600
foot tower Of such a station would detract
from the impressiveness Of the Wash

what extent the big tower will affect the

choose a site, the problem ought not to
be overpowering for the naval Bureau OF
Equipment, If that branch Of the Navy
Department is permitted 70 exercise any

Probably there are good reasons why
such a station should be situated in the
District OF Columbia, but there would
seem to be equally meritorious reasons
why il might be placed elsewhere with

ice or depriving the government Of the

Americans in Mexico.

Mexican sentiment and intelligence
have both welcomed the friendly invasion
OF capital from the United States. II is
this varied investment from the North
that has developed mines. plantations.
and oil fields. built factories. and ex-
tended railways. Nevertheless. there has
been manifest Of late an inclination
among some Mexicans to be suspicious
of these manifestations Of Northern en-
terprise, and who assume to believe that
American residents IN their country arc
but the advance guard Of an invasion
from the land Of the "Gringoes." Upon
this apparent tendency Of thought the
Mexican Herald sensibly observes:
If Americans have secured possession Of mines
and lands IN Mexico it Is only because they have
paid the prices asked for them by their Mexican
owners. Aud the inevitable result Of American
ownership Is an improvement Of plant operation
on larger scale and the employment Of a greater
number Of men. as a rule az better wages The
anti-American agitation by a certain class IN Mex
leo will not permanently retard the development
Of this country. but 1t ought not to be allowed 20
do 50 At all. The nauOw-mindCd. suspicious poopls
who foster such ideas should be brought 20 a reali
zaton Of the fact that they are living in the TWEEN
teth century; that capital and the people Of all
lands to-day 60 everywhere over the face Of the
globe where opportunity awaits them. and that
they viii not long be deferred By few reactionary
cave dweilers."
The most provincial OF Mexicans must
be enlightened by such plain instruction
as this. The prosperity OF that country
dehes isolation. Its political independence
cannot be carried to the absurdity OF
commercial solitude Mexico is destined
to share with the rest Of Latin America

tector Of all cls-Atlantic republics leads
