luxuries and High Cost OF
Living.

While great cry over the
cost of living has swept over the
country through the efforts of
certain newspapers and maga-
zines, the extraordinary expen-
diture on luxuries and comforts
makes it evident. that many
groups and sections of the popu-
lation have not felt the pinch
nor been driven to economize.
The record d-breaking tides of
tourist travel, the automobile
boom and the heavy increases in
importations of art works, dia-
monds. furs, etc., are an evil
d ence of general prosperity
which there can be no gainsay-
ing.
Official figures show that the
increase in imports for the last
fiscal year was S246 900, 600, and
while the imports of manufac-
turers' material was the largest
on record, every line of luxuries,
from art works to champagne,
registered a notable gain.
Liberal expenditures OH travel.
on amusement, on comfort spell
a great demand for labor with
rising wages. 1t would be alb
surd to deny that prices have
risen in recent years or that
those who live on fixed salaries
or fixed incomes have had a con-
dition rather than a cry" to
deal with. We may, as a peo-
pie. be less thrifty than we
should be. but where money is
freely spent there is money to
earn.
The money value of articles
manufactured in til United
States and exported in the last
fiscal year was the largest ever
reported, S66. 100000 greater
in the fiscal year which ended
June 80, 1909 The great in
crease in our exports of manu-
factured articles shows a growth,
under the greatly illuminated
Payne-Aldrich tariff, in the
right direction, the country
which becomes the workshop
for the world always enjoys a
greater measure of prosperity
than the country which merel Y
exports agricultural products.
This record, taken with the
greatly increased revenues col
lected under the new tariff,
proves conclusively that the agi-
tation against the new tariff is
almost wholly uncalled for and
that sane and right-thinking
citizens are beginning to under
stand the fact.
At the present rate of increase
in our exports of manufactured
articles within a very few years
the United States will be export
ing manufactured articles of a
money value greater than our ex-
ports Of food products and cot
ton. When some twenty years
ago, the prediction was made by
William Window, of Minnesota,
former Secretary of the Treas
urery, that within twenty-five
years such a condition of affairs
would be brought about, the
prediction was hooted at as alb
surd. The fulfillment of the
prophecy is now at hand.
Experience has taught the peo,
pie of the United States that
they are better off without every.
thing that the Democratic party
has advocated in half a century,
and that they are benefited by
the things which it has opposed.

PATERSON GIRLS
DECLARE BOYCOTT
ON BACHELOR CLUB
Handsomest Young Wom-
en- Also Organize and Pre-
pare to Wage Fight.

PATERSON, June 17.--Starting origt-
nally with the expectation OF worrying
Paterson's pretty girls by indifference,
the Bachelors Club. of recent origin.
now finds itself upon the defensive, for
the handsomest of Paterson's young
women have retaliated with a boycott
The trouble came about when the
fact was learned hat several young
men In Paterson had a secret organiza-
ton pledged to a series of fines for in
fractions of the rules consistent with
their Bachelor Club.
These rules provide that when a
member OF the club sees a girl coming,
he does not see her. He has that far
away look In his eyes and is intentiy
trying to e h time Of the City Hall
clock as though he were In a hurry to
catch a train II he fails to get away
with this n il seen tipping his hat, 1t
is q i've cent fine.
When the facts OF this became known
h Paterson girls decided the thing to
do was to show that this organization
could not thrive. So h young women
organized. Miss Florence Cooke, one of
the prettiast girls IN Paterson. was
elected president and Miss Anna
Henkle, a belle Of Haledon. was named
as vice-president
Frank Sykes, the son Of a Paterson
druggist, is said to be h head of the
BachelorS Club. He Is authorized 10
collect the fines. He denied 1t today
and said: why, anyway. o Of u
fellows pay any marked attention to
the Paterson girls. Most of our young
women friends are New Workers."
The members of the Bachelors Club.
who meet regularly al M another's
houses, are Frank and Albert Sykes,
George Scheck. Carl Katz, Percy Ieary,
Ernest Yates, LINUS Care, Rudolph and
George Wiseman. Nearly ell are law
students and attend the fashionable

BABY BOY TAKES
SAIL IN FATHERS
NEW AEROPLANE
Little Chap Crawls on Lower
Plane as Craft Starts on
Air Journey.

TOWACO, June 17.-Leonard Aber-
gasty, 4 years old, today has the honor
of being the youngest person who ever
took a trip in an aeroplane.
The baby had a thrilling and we'll
nigh disastrous fight in an uncom-
pleted captive machine on the summit
of Walk Haw mountain, four miles
from this village.
The boy crawled on the lower plane
Of the machine just as his inventive
father sent 1t up in the high wind
which was blowing. When the aero
plane had reached an altitude Of 200
feet the Abergastys were terrified by
seeing the face Of their youngster peer
ing at them from the edge OF the wild
ly plunging machine. They yelled to
him to keep a tight hold on the wires.
and then strove frantically to drag the
aeroplane back to earth by a long and
stout rope to which 1t was attached.
The wind had such q hold on the big
planes, however, that they were unable
to haul the machine. even with the aid
of a windlass. They worked for three
hours without success. When they had
succumbed to exhaustion and practical
ly had decided their baby would be
dashed to earth with them looking on,
Job Van Wrinkle and Peregrine Snod-
grass, neighbors, rushed to their as
sistance. The three men and Mrs.
Abergasty worked the windlass with
such success that in a few minutes
they had the %aeroplane within thirty feet
Of the earth. There 1t turned turtle
and hurled the boy out. He landed in
a clump Of bushes and escaped with
a few scratches.
II thought Leonard was standing at
my side when the aeroplane went up
Mrs. Abergasty said. You see, I was
busy assisting my husband In trying
to balance the machine. and I did not
notice my boy had crawled on the
lower plane. 1t was not until the ma
chine was 200 feet In the air that we
saw the little fellow looking down at
us. What BUR feelings WIRE then, With
him up there in an uncompleted ma
chine which was subject to every caprice
of the air. you may imagine. I thought
my heart would break"
When Van Wrinkle and Snodgrass
first saw the ~aeroplane 1t was plunginy
about in the air and the baby was
ciingins TO the wires with the intelli-
genoa of an adult.
