Competition, Of tie right kind q al.
ways desirable Competition has built
up tho granite industry in Barre and
Washington county. There are phases 81
this competition. however, that are nei-
Their desirable or helpful. These condi.
tons are no more prevalent in the gran
tie trade, probably than ID many other
lines Of industry. but they exist, and
the one that does the greatest injury
is the taking Of work at prices that
do not net the proprietor day wages
Barre granite il sold Oh the established
fact that Il Is the best all.afound granite
on the market, and successfully completes
with all Others on its quality It isn't
necessary TO cut prices 70 sell Barre
granite, and il estimating the cost Of a
job every manufacturer should bear this
in mind. He has the best stock and
the most up-to-date appliances and the
worlgmen for producing the best work,
and be can always get better price
than 8 manufacturer with cheaper arti.
Gle. This course Is rot always followed,
however, and the manufacturer, fearful
someone may underbid him, figures too
low or cuts his price once made to the
buyer with hard luck story, only 10
find when the work IS completed he has
not made a profit and in many cases has
not made day wages for himself This
hurts him. but il hurts the business in
general more. Frequently he is forced
out Of business, and the customer with
a low price established seeks another
who win take work at equally low hg-
ures, with a repetition OF the outcome.
What Is the remedyi
Every manufacturer knows what he
must pay for stock; he also knows the
cost Of labor. Both are fxed and an pay
alike. he should also know what per.
centaee must be added to these for rent,
power. air, steel, interest and insurance,
Office expenses, etc, accident OF damage
liability. and finally a percentage Of
profit These known and figured into the
cost Of every job, the possibility Of loss
is reduced TO minimum. A manufac-
turer who cuts prices Ia The face Of this
knowledge does II knowing he win lose
on the Job and invites failure. which Is
an unlikely course. II is a mistaken be.
lief that new Or small manufacturer
cannot secure business except by cutting
prices. One Of the younger successful
firms Of Barre began business only a few
years ago on the policy Of charging as
high Of higher prices than amy Of ia
competitors and by doing the best work
it is capable Of. has built up a large
business Such competition benefits all.
The remedy for Improbable prices.

COLOREO EDITORS
RIVALRY ENDS
IN AN ARREST

AS an outcome Of the spirit of
rivalry between the two colored
newspapers, the Rev. ]. Gordon Nc
Pherson, editor of the Forum, was
arrested for criminal libel yesterday
afternoon, the charge being pre-
ferred by Charles Parker, editor of
the Citizen.
The warrant for the arrest was is
sued by the prosecuting attorneys
office on the strength of a publica-
ton run in a recent issue of the
Forum. Mcpherson had made nu-
merous requests for a warrant for
the arrest of Parker on a similar
charge, but could never get the
prosecuting attorneys office to act.
Mcpherson, accompanied by his at
torney, J. Harry Harris, and the
manager Of the Forum, E. H.
Holmes, arranged for bonds in JUS
tice Suckers court, and the pre-
liminary hearing will be held Mon
day morning at $50 o'clock.
In speaking of his arrest, McPher-
son says: II have no fear of the
outcome. l am in the battle for de-
cency and l have only begun my
work of exposing the conditions
that exist here"

claring that the resolutions passed
by the American Mining Congress
at Los Angeles favoring state con.

created sensation at the National
Irrigation congress today.
Heney said: "The motive may
be seen if we look to Colorado,
whose coal lands two great com
panies have monopolized. The seiz.
ure of these lands is sufficient evi.
dence of the necessity of control.
The west still has water power
which is equivalent to the labor of

state control is fight to put this

trade this razor for cup of coffee
and a sandwich" said the visitor,
drawing from his pocket and old
and worn razor of a cheap make.
The razor was worth almost moth
ing. but the price of coffee and
sandwich was only five cents.
"Whatcher givin' me?" asked the
man behind the counter, suspic-
iously.
I'm hungry, and I'm broke" re-
piled the stranger. II haven't eaten
for two days"
We'll, l guess youse can have de
coffee and sandwich" said the cook,
putting them upon the counter
The man sat down to eat. At first
he took small bites, but hunger was
too much for him and he gulped
down the sandwich ravenously.
The rough looking cook watched
him out of the corner of his eye
Suddenly, moved by some myster-
ious impulse, he turned to the fire
and put nice, juicy steak in pan.
When it was cooked to turn he
loaded it onto plate, served lib
eral portion of potatoes, and showed
the heaped platter in front of the
hungry man.
Here! T'row dat into youse," he
said roughly, and then hustled back
into rear room to escape the
thanks of the man he had assisted.
When the stranger had eaten and
was ready to go he thanked the
big, rough cook profusely and
started out, leaving the razor upon
the counter, but the boss of the
dump called him back.
"Youse better take dis along wild
youse," said he, sliding the razor
across the counter. 1T won't be no
use ter me. I'm gonna grow a
beard" and he laughed as he rubbed
the weeks growth of whisker which
decorated his heavy jaw. while the
stranger wandered out into the
night with a full stomach and a
light heart.

children for the parade, however,
the trouble developed. There were
not enough suffragette children to
be found to warrant a float, and
so it was decided to use a big auto.
And now it is discovered that not
one of the leaders of the local suf-
fragette movement has any chit
dren, and It will be necessary to
either get the children for that
auto ride from the rank and file OF
the movement or make raid on
some of the charity homes and
adopt children for the occasion.
If you are suffragette and have
any children, here's a fine chance
for them to get long auto ride.

ing the investigation, because of
the immense power police chief
has to hide and destroy evidence
against him.
And yet, In spite of this, what is
Spokanes mayor doing regarding
the serious charges filed against
John T. Sullivan? What? Why
nothing, of course. Nothing but
continuing to shield him and ignore
the charges. And those about Pratt
and Sullivan are fixing up little
deal to declare John T. is not even
an acting chief, but merely a police
captain, and therefore the charges
should be referred to Pratt, for
sooth! Might just as well refer
them to Sullivan himself, and let
him constitute himself a board of
investigation, and gravely proceed
to hear and dismiss the case!
Oh, yes, it's fine little ring in
the administration division of the
city hall. But possibly there is
one verify that that little ring does
not reckon on, and this is it: The
real facts and truth are bound to
be heard and win out in the end
and also there's a change of city
government coming not so far off
in the future.
But say, wouldn't 1t make them

weeks, and do some of the things
the council mas been forced to take
up in the past.

dispersed without any indication
that action on Secretary Ballinger's
case was taken. Ballinger's actions
are taken to mean that the cabinet
in no way disturbed him. 1t is re-

not permit any discussion of the
Ballinger case. This is taken to in.
dictate that the investigation of the
investigating board did not affect
