Mr.. Osgood stated this morning that
he was keeping in particularly close
touch with the tobacco market and
securing shipments of unusual quality.
He is an expert in the selection of
smoking goods of every description

competitive manufacturers OF cigars
of every kind. He makes IL a point to
choose the best that the market affords
and selects only standard brands OF
well known quality He makes no

profit is possible. but endeavors TO
offer them lines that they know are
good and that they are used TO smok-
ing. The cigar departments in both
of his stores are located right up at
the front door entrance and are Just
as easy to reach as the counter OF
the average exclusive cigar store. He
has a man in charge of the depart
ment who does nothing else but SAL
cigars. which enables him to prove
his claim that his cigar departments
are virtually a business by themselves

| OsgooJ, the druggist. is doing a tre-

attributes to the fact that he is at

Palencias. Ell Sidelo. Belmonts, ETC., at

carries these brands in all of the staple

the same high prices that are charged

dividual liberty is anarchy under an

sponsible family ties shall not be drag.
ged down to the level of the irresponsi-
bic and shiftless.
The nonunion shop which is termed
the open shop is desired by some en-
ployers because the uonunionist can be
used to tear down the living and moral
standard of the better class of work
ers.
In the social life the handsome
streets, dwellings and restricted dis
tricts of the so called better classes
represent the union, while the slums
represent the miscalled free workman
or nonunionist.
The union shop protects the home
and keeps the children at school, The
nonunion shop degrades the home and
furnishes a treadmill for the children
who should be at school. The union
shop forbids one to burn his home I'm

his neighbor. The union shop forbids
one to maintain nuisance of any kind
which epdangers the health of the

Would Destroy Unions.

This is "A peculiarly critical time in
the development of trades unionism in
this country. In the first place, there
has been economic depression caused
by the panic of two years ago. and the
employers have used the situation to
eliminate wherever possible the organ
lied men. The trusts have been tried
by fire. Many have succumbed by
reason of weakness or fraud or deceit
In their organizations But some of the
great combinations have become i'm
pregnable. They are now trying to
destroy the trades unions. the only or
ganization capable of coping with them
and which must cope with them If
there are to be even handed justice and
right. Professor w. Il. Ripley. Har-

publication devoted to the purpose
Of promoting social welfare among
Catholic societies, the writer discusses
the need of Catholic workingmen
welfare associations, but states posi-
lively that such organizations involve
no present purpose of forming Catho-
lie trades unions On this subject the
writer says:
ut has been intimated, however,
that in spite of our present intention
it may lead in time to the formation
of Catholic trades unions. This Is
quite out of the question, for the two
organizations differ In kind just as
the apple differs from the orange The
trades unions need the welfare asso-
Citations, and these in turn need the
trades unions. Both movements are
separate, and both are Indispensable.
We have spoken a strong word for the
formation of Catholic workingmens
welfare associations, and we wish 10
speak a strong word today for the sup
port which all those who wish to be
factor of social reform owe to the
trades unions in practical way.
Resolution No. 4, adopted at In

ment has at times made mistakes. we
yet unhesitatingly indorse the right of

therefore we recommend faithful CO.
