WEATHER BLAMED
FOR SLOW TRADE
Money Supply Good, But De-
mand Has Become Slower
Than Usual.
ALL LINES ARE AFFECTED
DISPUTE HAS ARISEN OVER THE
PRICES IN VARIOUS LINES.

Practically all lines Of business were
affected adversely by the inclement
weather during the past week. A con-
dition Of quietude prevailed in both
wholesale and retail trade. In banking
circles it is reported that there has
been a better money supply, but with
the demand slaCkening, doubtless due
to the unpropitious weather.
Somewhat stationary conditions are
reported by the local hardware trade,
though business is better than during
the corresponding period of last year,
Speculative buying of builders hard
ware is being done 20 some extent by
those who believe that the rush of
building operations later in the season
will result il advanced prices. House
hold sundries of all kinds are reported
20 be in fair demand. Collections are
rather slow.
Quiet conditions are reported by the
lumber trade. Weather in the north
west is unfavOrabe and shipments
have been slow. Retail yards are not
doing much on account Of the unfayor-
able weather conditions.
The wholesale dry goods trade also
reports being affected adversely by the
Indictment weather. Manufacturers
claim that present prices hardly meet
the cost Of manufacture, while buyers
allege that these same prices are high
er than trade conditions warrant. LO-
cal trade is fair, with no special fea-
lures for the week.
Little doing is the report of the retail
dry goods trade. The weather is
blamed for this condition of affairs.
Though it is generally at this time.
which is a between-seaSon period, still
business is much quieter than II would
have been had the weather been better.
A feature OF the market is the intro
duction OF certain lines of Shantung
and fOulard silks, which are spot PROOF
from water.

is considered admirably adapted for a

In addition to keeping a large supply
of meats in cold storage for the western
trade, it is the intention Of the com
pany to prepare some of their smoked
meat products here. Instead of ship
ping from their Chicago plant to the
western consumer, they will supply the
western trade from the local plant.

is outside the building. II is claimed
that this is a decided improvement over
the ordinary method of furnace con-
structiOn. where the furnaces are built
in the basement. No smoke or steam
can possibly escape from the furnace
and find its way TO the upper floors.
The Webster modulating system of
steam heating has been installed. This
IS known as the vacuum system OF

The basement is well constructed

HOLDS TRUSTS ARE TO BLAME
FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

SAN JACINTO, Cal, March 16.-
Editor Herald: The prophecy of Jim
Hill that we will soon be importing
foodstuffs does not alarm any one
familiar with the economics of farming,
but rather goes to prove that no mat
ter how great a man is in his own line
of business he is likely to make a fool
of himself when he steps out of it..
If he had told us that we were threat
ened with an overproduction of Hills,
Carnegies and Rockefellers. we could
have taken him more seriously. AS a
matter of fact, the volume of farm
products can be doubled by the appli-
cation of a little more labor TO the soil,
and that this will be done whenever
prices become such as to justify it
there can be no doubt. That 1t is not
done is due to the fact that "it doesn't
pay to hire" This may seem strange
in view of retail prices for farm prod
ucts, but you must consider that the
farmer receives on an average only
about onethird the retail value of his
produce. For instance. a hog sells for
cents a pound; you pay 20 cents for
pork Wheat brings ~ cents, and you
pay cents for flour which has been
robbed of its most valuable properties
in the milling. We get. if We figure in
portions of crops unsold and an occa-
SlOlldl ttOp lbi NHltu lutlt Is no mar
ket, about z cent per pound for onions
and. possibly. l cent per pound for
spuds; you pay from cents to cents
for the former and from cents to 3
cents for the latter We get S12 per
ton green for peaches, S. per ton for
grapes. What do you pay for them?
In order TO make interest on his in
vestment and wages, the farmer should,
and sooner or later will. get double
what he receives at present BY that
time the trusts will have manufac-
tured articles up to three times their
present value and Mr.. Farmer will
have to commence all over. There is
no way to stop the rise in prices under
private ownership. Taking the tariff
off would undoubtedly result in the
formation by Americans of interna-
tional trusts. which would lead inevi-
tably to an international farmers
union. J. w. G.

SAYS HYPNoTIsM is CURSE
THAT NEEDS TO BE SHACkLED

OCEAN PARK, Cal, March 13.-
Editor Heraldl: Your special writer
Mr.. Haskn, writing on hypnotism in
today's issue of the Herald, makes sew
eral statements regarding the effect OF
hypnotic treatment which should be
challenged.
TO assert that it is desirable or nee
essary to rob one Of his independence
and personal initiative for the purpose
of conveying a suggestion to heal dis
ease or correct bad habits is more than
folly; it only tends to impress the pa
tient with the idea of his own helpless
ness. How can it be claimed that an
unconscious condition of mind is more
receptive to the compelling influence of
truth than consciousness is, or that
this influence when so employed should
be more permanent in it's operation and
effect?
If hypnotism will enable the operator
to cause his subject (Who may be a
person of much reserve and mOdesty)
when under his influence to act quite
the reverse of his true character why
is it not reasonable to suppose that
its influence is not always perVerting
Hypnotism, in the writer's opinion,
never did any good. but, on the con-
trary, is a source of all evil.
Why use such a diabolical and ty-
rannical method and encourage its use?
Humanity will some day try to devise
methods to shackle it, and only it's
mental antipode will accomplish this,
1t will be the overcoming of evil with
good r. N.

SAYS HERALD MORE FREE
FROM ROOSEVELT MANIA

LOS ANGELES, March 21.-[Editor
Herald: Now that the Roosevelt hunt
is over, another one should start to
hunt for a newspaper that will not fill
up it's readers ad nauseum day after
day with machine made items of tom
myrot about Roosevelt, RooseVelt's
family, Roosevelt's horse, Roosevelt's
dogs and everything that is his. The
public has long enough been brow
beaten and bulldOzed with such de-
lberately circulated trash Roosevelt
must be tired, and so are we. For
heavens sake, let us rest. The news
paper that will escheW RooseVeltiana,
except as concerns strictly sane and
legitimate news, would deserve and
doubtless obtain the reward of merit
the appreciation and gratitude OF
long suffering public.
The Herald has perhaps sinned as
lightly as most in this respect, and so
to The Herald we are pinning our
hopes, but even that paper must look
to its laurels and not be tempted INTO
giving continual currency to the klnu
of delirious drivel that is already
bursting forth in various quarters De-
cause Roosevelt is coming back.
Speaking for myself, | have resolved
that if cannot escape further persecu-
tion by the Roosevelt monger in daily

Not only have the high prices been

SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION

A NDREW CARNEGIES pleasant
Il visit to California has enriched
A civilization with a most feicltous
explanation of one of his philanthro-
pies. He said: Here on Mount VIII
son | am trying to repay some of the
debts I owe to science. Science has
developed our great industries"
American industry owes much Of its
prosperity to scientific methods, and
its efficiency has been greatly in
creased because it has been developed
along scientific lines. To so great an
extent is this true that in these DAYS
it would not be beside the mark to
talk of the "science of industry"
owing to this development scientific
and industrial education has become
all-important. Practical training and
practical knowledge are demanded by
the young men and women of today.
and the boy or girl who has a .'prae-
tical" bent of mind but IS forced into
abstract. non-scientife or purely lit
erary or classical lines of education
certainly is being deprived of at least
part of what should be a birthright.
A student who leaves the schools
without some fundamental understand
ing of scientific subjects is handi-
capped. The language Of science, of
industry and Of commerce forms a co
pious vocabulary with which students
should be made familiar We, who
share the responsibility for the train
ing of young Americans, are not liV-
ing up to it unless we insist the schools
in this scientific Industrial age shall
supplement the usual training with an
equipment of scientific knowledge that
will enable the average citizen to take
an intelligent part in the scientific
development which is constantly being
manifested in forms ranging from the
discovery of star or a constellation
described in formulae which to the un-
instructed are cryptogrammic, to the
perfection Of a new type of flying
maehine. which all behold and marvel
at. ana few understand.
Since, as Mr Carnegie acknowl-
edges, science has developed our great
industries it is the duty Of modern
society to provide adequate popular
scientific education for every American
child.
