THE TRUE REASO W

For a number of months past, as every reader of the newspapers and magazines knows, statesmen and economists have been studying, in the interest of the workingman, the causes for the high prices that have prevailed for the nec- essaries of life, and the reason why the laborer's dollar buys goods to such a small percentage of it's face value. The result of these investigations has not been tabulated as yet, dut enough has been learned about conditions to def- nitely place the cause of the discre- pancy, and to be able to say positively that the true reason is:
 Because of the increased production of gold;
 Because of the tariff;
 Because of the trusts;
 Because of the labor unions;
 Because the farmer charges too much for his products;
 Because the middleman wants too large profit over the farmers price;
 Because the retailer wants the same over the middleman's price; ....
 Because working people want to liy.

AIR SPRING vs. RUBBER TIRE

George Westinghouse, of Pittsburg, has invented an air spring to take the place of pneumatic rubber tires on auto mobiles, and company has been formed in that city for the Ill snufacture of the product.
 The principle of the new device IS ap ar spring with series of plungers work ing on air cushions placed under the corners of the frame of a vehicle. Each spring for an automobile is a cylinder inches long. It is said by MT. Nesting house that an automobile fitted with solid steel tires and with the air springs rides more easily than does the rubber tired automobile of to-day.
 The ability and standing of the in- yentor is guarantee that the invention possesses merit. It will be doubted by many, however, until they have had a practical demonstration, that car will ride as easily as with the present in 1ated rubber tires. If it can be so de- monstrated, the effects of the invention will be widespread. The saving in rub Der, which is now getting to be decided laxury, will be one of the most impor- tant economies of the device. The elim- ination of the annoyance. expense and danger of bursting tires will be another. Whether the solid steel tire will be less destructive of roads remains to be seen, but it would seem as if further experi- ment would evolve shape of tire that would make big saving to the towns and states in this respect also. One thing further must be accomplished to make the device as satisfactory as the rubber tire, and that is the prevention of irritation to the nerves of the oc- cupants of a car by the grinding of those steel tires over gravel roads.

 Because the workingman's wife buys food and clothing readymade instead of doing the work herself;
 Because the workingman does not, as a rule, make garden and raise his own vegetables as he used to;
 Because our consumption of food, particularly meat, has outgrown our capacity for producing it.
 The above is the one real cause of the existing conditions; there may be other reasons given by less veracious people, even to laying the blame on Halley's comet, but anyone of judgment knows that this article names the one and only true one.

THE SIMPLE LIFE AGAIN
I wish I we're a Turtle

I wish I we're a Turtle
 To sit and snooze all day, Far from the madding hurtle Of life's distracting fray, A house provided for me, With ne'er thought of rent, And no accounts to bore me / When I have not cent. A house devoid of plumbing, Just big enough for me, With no landlords a-coming To get their Esd. No thought of pomp that's showy, No gingerbreadish pride, But, rainy days or snowy. Just snug and warm inside. No cook down in the kitchen To fill my days with care; No upstairs maid a-pitchin' My garments everywhere; No butler proud and naughty To overlook my needs And lead to language naughty Because of his misdeeds. And when the air is jaded, No summer-hotel fad, But just nook that's shaded Beneath some lily-pad; And when the summers sated And winter has begun, My dwelling relocated
 Beneath the glowing sun. No butcher-boy or grocer; No baker-man with pies; No watered milkman, no, sir, But just dish of flies, Who serve themselves up freely In rich variety I envy him! Yes, really The Turtles life for me.

PEACH CROP FAILURE

We knew it would come. The won der IS that it has been so long on the way. But the news has finally reached us that the peach crop threatens to be @ failure. In previous years there have been numerous reasons given for this calamity, such as late frosts, scale, the yellows, etc., but these have become so threadbare that new cause had to be assigned. This year the crop is threat ened because there are not enough bees to pollenize the flowers. The calamity howler has now done his duty, so we can prepare to see just as many peaches i'll the market as overland probably just as poor ones.

with events that were tragic; the plottins
of the Jews to gain possession of the
Master had been so persistent and open,
that we would suppose that the disciples
would have been incapable OF any
thought that did not breathe the spirit OF
tenderness and love for the Master and
for each other. But, alas, for poor human
from their past contentious. The desire
to possess the chief places broke out
anew, and again Jesus was compelled to
restrain their ambitions and to explain
the law Of precedence in the kingdom OF
heaven.
Still, it would seem that the authority
Of Jesus did not wholly restrain their
contentious. The strangest fact Of all is
that as a result of It Judas seems TO
have been given the chief place. We

1t is a sad fact that the Christian

words. There are those who interpret
