 Editorial
 The increased cost of liv- ing may be considerably off set by the decreased cost of dressing.
 If you have us make your clothes.
 Though it costs more to get out a suit than formerly, we have not raised our prices. Our profit on a suit is a little less. but the tre- mendous volume of business we do offsets that again We much prefer to make good clothes for prices ALL can afford to pay, rather than do a small business by catering to a few at higher figures.
 We have built up our busi- ness from solid foundation square dealing, and we can't recall an instance where we have lost a custo- mer because we weren't will ing to do the right thing.
 For s15. s17.50, s20, s22.5O, s25 or $50 we'll build you a suit good enough for any man to wear-a suit that'll fit, retain it's shape and look good to the last day.
 No tailor in the world can do more than that, even if you pay him $100.
 And if you pay more than our price you pay too much. The name in the back of a coat or because a tailor is compelled to pay stiff prices for the few yards of cloth he buys, or because he's foolish enough to try and do something he can't-all that should not interest you.
 Remember, it's your own hard earnings you're spend ing for clothes. So we say once more, come to us for your clothes. You'll be treated right, and get noth- ing but a square deal.
 Yours truly,

tains extracts of addresses by lome
OF the prominent men who ADDRESSED
the convention on various civic rob
lens. An address by Mayor BehInan,
of New Orleans, on THE Street law

Secretary Lloyd also adds:
From conversations had with de

At Thursdays session of the CO.
ventiou Frank r. Mcdonald. sups-

Workhouse read paper and is quou
in the report as saying, among othr
things:
Charity and the application of be

1T was noticeable at this conen-
tion that most of the cities werelep-
resented by delegates who we're nm
bers of street, finance, health, vter
and other departments, and wht
paper was read touching the busiess
of any one of these departments. nd
open to general discussion afterwa1s.
these delegates we're perfectly fail
far with the subject, and no debt
took home with them much valusle
information for their departments.
while all of the departmentsof
this city we're requested by the Pn
who attended this convention, upn
invitation of the league, IL is m
fortunate that not one departnint
was represented, save the tax e.
parthent, and no matters of asses
ment and taxation were consideed
by the league.
There is no doubt that our de
gates learned a great deal pertairng
to municipal affairs at this eon'en-
tion, but as they are not mem,es Of
any Of our boards this knowledge can
hardly be Of use to our city outde of

Il therefore respectfully reom-

der to reap some benefit I'm heaing
