High Cost of Living Here and Abroad.

(BoStOn Transcript
While everybody is talking on the
high cost of living. Mr.. j. Ellis Barker
a London economic writer, who has
just arrived i'm this country processes
his astonishment at the low prices OF
food supplies here. When luncheon
hour arrived yesterday he found his
way into a basement restaurant near
the State House. where he got meal
of several courses for twenty-five
cents. the equal of which he says could
not have been bought in London. had
he searched the city for that sum. He
Is having other experiences of the
same sort. While he would not be OBJ
tainable as a campaigner. his story of
contrasting conditions here and abroad
is an extremely effective argument for
the theory underlying the Payne AL
drich bill. Germany, which is a thick
~ peopled country like Great Britain,
but under the protective system, he
believes does much better for it's la
boring population than his own land:
but according to his finland obser-
vationS this is the worlds paradise to
work for living. and he will doubt
less say so in the book that he pur-
poses to write.

the fight is done the birdman's eX-

For Children "And" Animals.

The first International Humane Con-
ference ever held in America which
convened in Washington Monday, will
continue until Oct. Is. The first three
days will be devoted to the discussion
OF matters pertaining to children, and
the second three to those dealing with
animals. The honorary president of
the Association is President w. H.
Taft, the first honorary vice president.
King George of England. Among those
expected to be present are Elbrldge L.
Gerry, founder OF Children's Society in
New York; H. w. Carpenter, founder
of chair of humane education at Col
umbia University; Lord Ancaster, S.
P. C. C. in London; Rajah Sir Hatnam
Singh, X. c. l. F., S. p. c. of India,
and Bishop Sweeny of Toronto.
With the heads of humanity promot-
ing such a cause there ought to be an
awakening of humane thought and
energy. But let us hope the zeal eX-
pended in the behalf of animals will
not so toward putting dogs and mon
keys and cats in the places of chill
dren. When Christian women with
mistaken notions of love for dumb AMI
mails devote the useless dollars spent
for imaginary comforts of dumb pets
into real comforts for children the
world will have made new progress.

Foss Is Learning.

In the way of preparing to make a
campaign to convince the good people
of Massachusetts that the Republic
cans are too radical, dangerous. ny
sterical, and subversive. the Bay State
Democrats, in convention assembled,

dies not appear that actual mayhem
was cOmmitted-the police were there
but there was much fist work. Fam
euil Hall again rocked and almost
burst with the spirit of liberty.
Congressman Eugene n. FOss, mil
lionaire and x-Republican, who has
had the idea that present day repub-
licanism is too noisy, was a candidate
for governor. So was Charles S.
Hamlin, one of Cleveland's officehold-
ers. But so also was James M. Valley
who is more agreeable to the inter
rified elements Of Massachusetts De-
mocracy. When it appeared that Mr.
FOsS was about to be nominated, that
he was but four votes short of a ma
jority, naught remained to the Vahey-
ties but to start a rough house. 1t
was effective. and Foss was not nom
mated. 1t is not exactly clear who

will never do to retain in power the
turbulent and Over-progressive Re-
publican party.
Mr.. Foss, during the few hours of
last evening, learned not a little con-
corning the controlling tendencies of
his new political associates. He may
be sadder, but he certainly is a wis
er man. He must feel more strongly
than ever that his bolt was justified
and the Democratic organization is
now the only one that can be safely
trusted with the Management of
large affairs. The Massachusetts eX-
hibit will doubtless encourage Repub-
licans of New York likewise to bolt to
advance the cause of conservatism
and orderliness-they may well be
positively eager to line up with their
friends of Massachusetts

Our Duty.

Our Duty.
Let us catch the morning sunbeams as
they spread their light of gold
Let us gather i'm our forces for the battie,
let's be bold;
Let us do our duties proudly, ere our
bodies helpless grow:
Let us bear our burdens gladly ere TO
spirit-land We go.
When we see our brother falling, let us
grasp him by the hand
And uplift him and uphold him till he
gains the strength to stand
Let us lift his sister with him who Is
struggling on the way.
For her chances are unequal with het
brother in the fray.
Let them know though they are human
they possess a spark divine
That in truth and love held sacred Will
forever shine:
Let them know the Laws of nature are
not partial to a soul,
And that each must gauge his footsteps
toward that one eternal goal.
Let us live the true religion that our
conScienceS approve:
And be just to every creature as upon
this plane we move:
Let us live in life'S great ocean in our
own peculiar sphere,
And but hope to gain the station in the
future we make here.

DANIEL SENNo
HAD COMPANY
Bull Durham People Found Baseball
Advertising Rather an
Expensive Form.

SIOUX CITY, Oct Sit cost the
American Tobacco company exactly
$4,000 to advertise the merits of Bull
Durham tobacco in the various base
ban parks during the setsoe of 1910.
The large wooden bull which is
found in more than 200 outfields, was
hit safely Sc times. Each time 1t was
cracked by fairly batted ball in a
championship game, the batsman max
ing the hit getting $50.
In the Western league this season
the bull was hit four times. two Sioux
City players turning the trick. "Cy''
Neighbors pasted the bovine on the
Topeka grounds and Chick" Hart
man imprinted his trade mark at Miz-
ION park. On the same afternoon that
Hartman hit the sign, TEX" Jones of
st. Joseph, also took poke at it. Ira
Belden of the Wichita team, was the
fourth lucky PLAYER.
For each home run in park where
one OF the bulls was located che same
company offered five pounds of
smoking tobacco. During the season g.
900 orders were handed out. These
brought their holders from 81 to SO
each, enterprising bearers buying
them up and thereby increasing their
profits on this brand of tobacco. In
the Western league 81 home runs
were made of which 40 were reported
from Sioux City.
