SINCLAIR

AUTHOR MISQU0TED BY ONE
OF HEARST'S REPORTERS
TN FAVOR OF TRIAL MARRIAGE?
NO." DECLARES WRITER
Noted Socialist Asserts He Did Not
Make Statement Attributed to
Him by San Francisco
Newspaper

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The Bull
letin says:
Here's how dye do, here's a state
of things-Upton Sinclair says he does
not believe in trial marriage, and that
he never, never said he did, in spite of
the fact that woman reporter of the
Examiner so quoted him today. Sim
clair denounces the whole interview as
"outrageouSly exaggerated" He adds:
IT'S a wild and frantic TRADE. Three
quarters of 1t 1 never said and the other
fourth was entirely distorted. Every
qualification, every explanation was
omitted. The whole spirit of what /
said was grossly distorted.
."Then you did not say that you were
in favor of trial marriage? You did
not make any statement at all in favor
of any such relation?'
'I discussed the economics of the
marriage problem as far as the woman
who interviewed me had the intelli-
gence to follow. What / said was that
the marriage institution would ulti-
mately pass away to be replaced by
some other form. But again and again
advised against the breaking of the
marriage convention under present con-
ditionS.'
But, Mr.. Sinclair, when you made
the statement that you thought that the
marriage institution would ultimately
pass away to be replaced by some other
form. what other form did you mean? p
Believes in Marriage
81 mean a form where the woman is
economically independent, where she
does not have to stay for the purpose
of gaining her own support or the sup
port of her children with man whom
she doesn't love. 1t was in this con-
nection that 1 spoke of the evil condi-
tions of the present-day marriages.
said that in the working class the
woman is the equal, the co-worker, the
mate Of the man, but in middle classes
and the upper class the woman is an
idler and parasite. l said it was a
degrading and debasing thing for a
woman to have to sell herself to gain
support or the privilege of social posi-
ton / urged the marriage of EQUALS
where people would live together in an
honorable and decent way. And 1 said
this could not be save in society
where women were economically free

A woman who marries under our social

Enjoy Your Meals
By Simply Eating a Little Pleasant
Tablet After Each of Them
A TABLET DIGEsrs A MEAL

When digestion is perfect the fluids
necessary to this process come natural
ly to the aid of the stomach. They are
of right proportion and do their work
speedily and we'll When Indigestion
and dyspepsia are prevalent these
same juices come slowly, if at all, are
weak and insufficient or are filled with
strong acids and alkalies.
When such a condition exists each
meal is a hardship upon the digestive
organs. The meal should strengthen
the juices, but on the contrary it
weakens them, SO that man by the very
act of eating causes conditions to arise
which of themselves bring him pain
and lOathing for the next meal
BY eating one of Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets you mix the tablet with your
saliva and it goes into your stomach a
strong, vigorous fluid, many times more
powerful than the natural digestive
juices. These tablets are made up from
natural vegetable and fruit essences
and are composed from Hydrastis,
Golden Seal, Lactose. Nux, Ascetic Pep
sin, Bismuth and Jamaica Ginger.
There is the formula, and one grain of
it will digest 5000 grains of food in any
stomach. Beside digesting the food it
will give the blood the power to enrich
the digestive fluids so after a time
nature will take care of itself. Though
you have no stomach trouble ont of
these tablets after each meal is a
powerful assistance to nature and is an
excellent habit to make.
Go to any druggist and ask his
opinion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
We will abide his answer if he be an
honest man. They sell for SO cents per
package. Send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.

At today's meeting of the executive

than because of the necessity for

SALARIES OF ALDERMEN IN
WINDY CITY ARE DOUBLED

CHICAGO. Feb. 2.-Salaries of alder
men were boosted by the council last
night from $500 year each to $4,000.
The members elected at the next cleo
tion will get $4,000 without subterfuge.
For the holdovers the council pro-
vides private secretaries" at $500
each, which salary will be given to the
holdovers.
All who spoke favored a $500 stipend.
The only reason why the $500 was cut
off the original recommendation Of the
finance committee was because Gov
ernor Deneen signed the enabling act
on the pledge of Mayor Busse that the
salaries would not be placed higher
than $4,000.

LICENSES FOR LIQUOR
IN COUNTY SHOW Loss
Elimination of Bingham juno
ton in Reckoning Has
Material Effect.

Alex Buchanan. Jr., license collector
for Salt Lake county, has compiled the
county's revenue from the issuance of
liquor and merchants and butchers Ii.
ccnses
Mr. Buchanan makes comparison with
the figures of 1905. The liquor license
fees fall below those OF the previous
year, hut there is n reason for this.
The other group of licenses shows n
small increase in spite of the elimina
tion of numerous stores and shops at
Midvale. The compilation made by Mr.,
Buchanan shows:
Liquor. 1o0S-F'irst quarter, $63l2.50; ;
second quarter, $6lS7,50; third quarter,
$6l63,6l; fourth quarter, $543I.5O; to-
tai, S24, ,l0lll.
second quarter, $56S7,50; third quarter,
$5S06.T0 fourth quarter, $5i00; total,
500 $500, a decrease of Sl5Sl for the
year.
Merchants and butchers, l90s-First
quarter, $l264.40; second quarter
$I210.55; third Qpuarter, $liInl3;
fourth quarter, Sl23Sl5; total,
$5l90.25.
Merchants and butchers, l909-First
quarter. $l26475; second quarter
$1337.l5; third quarter, $l534.IO; fourth
quarter, $llS5.40; total, 1922, an In
crease Of $l3l.15.
In explaining the loss on the liquor
licenses in the county, Mr.. Buchanan
says:
.'The loss here noted is accounted for
from the fact that on July |, 1909,
Bingham Junction asserted its inde,
pendence and became an Incorporated
town, thus depriving the county of the
licenses from twelve saloons, or two
fifths of all such places in the county,
and thirty-thrcc merchants and butch
ers. The loss was partially Offset by
the increase of the liquor license from
$3.50 10 $1,000 per annum. which change
also went into effect on July l.
