TWENTY YEARS AGO.

The Independence Bulletin-Journal
In It's last issue printed few prices
that were quoted in the markets and
stores of that place twenty years ago.
A brief mention Of few staples will
be interesting for comparison with
present prices:
Corn. twenty-five to twehty-three
cents for seventy-fiye pounds; oatF,
fifteen to seventeen cents; hogs,
$3.50 to 1920; butter, tn Give to eigh.
teen cents; eggs seventeen cents:
turkeys, nine cents; chickens, five
cents; ducks and geese, four cents:
timothy hay, $3.50 per ton; potatoes
twenty to twenty-five cents.
The Increased value Of these art
icles at this time amounts from 10f
to 200 and 300 per cent all along the
line, 1t will not take large amount
of figuring nor great deal Of time

The activity of the country's bust
ness continues to be reflected in the
enormous volume of payments through
the banks. Exchanges last week at
all leading cities in the United States
amounted to s3,6S6,429,e4S, a gain of
24.4 per cent over last year and OF
100 per cent over the corresponding
week in 1906. At New York City the
increase was very large over last year,
and to some extent reflects speculation
in stocks and cotton. but there is also
a moderate increase as compared with
1906, at which time operations on the
stock exchange were larger than this
year. Other cities show noteworthy
gains, especially in the comparison
with 1906

where for freight or passengers.
There were frequent races between
the train and the stages in which the
stages won as often as they were
beaten. IN the winter time the move
ment of trains was extremely uncer-
tain. After the road was completed
to Springfield three round trips a
week were made. The train was an
accommodation train literally Any
one who had any freight to offer
dumped it along side the track where
ever it suited his convenience, and
they loaded it when they came along.
Freight for delivery was unloaded op-
posite the nearest house, and the
charges were collected at some future
date.

President Ripley of the Atchison,
Topeka e Santa Fee railroad holds that
the high prices of food are due as
much to the extravaganza of American
women who have the spending of the
wages of American workingmen as to
the avarice Of monopolies. He is
quoted as saying:
General increase of wages aid the
rapid increase of money in circulation
are among the causes of high prices"
said Mr.. Ripley, .'but extravaganza is
the paramount issue. Most house
wives will pay three to four times as
much for foods done up in fancy pack
ages as they will for the same foods
without the frills.''

An article on increased cost of liv-
ing by Frank Julian Warne in cur
rent magazine shows that, in COMPARE
son with the price in 1896, lard has
increased 1875 per cent. bacon 175,
flour 81, beans 165 and SO on. The
standard of living is higher, owing
to advanced education. The cost of
living sends the women of the family
to work to try to make up for the
increase. as it does not seem posi-
BILE to go backward by lowering the
standard of living.

CfNSURfS CARNEGIE
FROM Ills PULPIT
Rabbi KapIan Declares That the
IrOnmaster Is Not a True
PhiIanthropist

That Andrew Carnegie is not true
philanthropist, though he is giver;
that he is not a scholar, and that he
is ignorant of biblical history, were
among the declarations made by Rev.
the course of an address at the Bush
street temple. A large audience lis
tened to Rabbi Kaplan's attack upon
Carnegie, which was in the nature of
a reply to the latter's criticism of Old
Testament writers. as reported in The
Call of March s. In part, he said:
Carnegie is a great flnancier and
a Large giver, but I say that a
large giver is not necessarily
true philanthropist in the real
Sence of the term. As so truly ex-
pressed by one of the characters
in Hamlet" ITO the noble mind,
rich gifts wax poor when givers
prove Ankind." The mass of the
American people never considered
Carnegie true philanthropist in
spite of his rich gifts, because he
has proved himself unkind to the
employees who made the accumula-
tion OF his wealth possible
Carnegie is certainly not a scholar.
and, Notwithstanding his millions, is
absolutely unqualified to express an
opinion on philosophy and religion, as
he presumes to do. Though he has
built many Libraries he has remained
ignorant. I must take issue with
Carnegie for calling the writer's of the
old testament ignorant, while he. in
his ignorance, attributes a teaching to
them which is found in the new tesla
ment. IL the teachings of the old
testament writers be ignorance then
ignorance is a blessing
The very fact that a foreigner like
Carnegie could come over this country
and amass such a colossal fortune and
be protected by this government is due
to the primary fact that American
institutions are based upon the old
testament doctrine that the stranger
should be given the samc protection
and the same opportunity as the native

RUSSIAN WOMEN DENIED
RIGHT TO PRACTICE LAW

ST PETERSBURG, March 12-The
minister of justice. to whom was re-
ferred the request of the duma for
the introduction of law authorizing
the admission TO the bar OF women
lawyers, has declined to do this, find
ing that the profession is already
overcrowded that the education OF
women in Russia is not on a suffi-
ciently high plane and that this oues-
tion can best be discussed in connec-
ton with the general subject of broad
ening the sphere OF female activity,
now awaiting demonstration
The liberal members of the duma
will now introduce their own meas
ure. using the parliamentary right of
initiating legislation.
The question was raised by the re-
cent appearance of Miss Fleishi1tz.
whom the ST. Petersburg bar associa-
tion had accepted as a member, as at
torney in a criminal case. The prose-
cutting attorney refused to proceed with
the case, holding that women, under
the Russian law, are not authorized to
practice law, in which he was sup
ported by the imperial senate.
