What Amazed Him Most.

An Atlanta man who had been
blind fifteen years had his sight
restored suddenly by an opera
tion the other day, and while ex-
pressing amazement over motor
cars and other novelties, was
most surprised by the strange
costumes worn by the women.
He said he could not bring him
self to believe that they were not
strange animals Many 9th

suing Edward Butler. the politi-
cal boss of St. Louis. with the
club of law until he had him run
out of politics. With the elimina-
tion of Butler came the end of
Indian" rule in that city and
the dawn of decent politics; also
the overthrow of the Bourbon
Democracy in Missouri. The
latter has always hated Folk for
his decency and civic righteous
ness. It wanted power, not
political decency. If by hook
and crook it can be brought
about Folk will not have the sup
port of Missouri in national con
ventlon next year.

A ST. Louis woman asks di-
yorce from her husband for the
reason that 1t cost $4,000 to sup
port him. The cost of the sup
port of a wife has never been
deemed sufficient grounds for a
divorce, and why should not the
rule work both ways?

More Light.

The editor of the Mercury
published at Kingston had the
audacity to let come out in his
paper the other day the following
editorial. There may be others
that have the same opinion as
this editor but haven't the sense
to say it.
Politics not only makes strange
bedfellows, but various kinds of
damphools. Take issue of ''the
high cost of living.'' From a
purely partisan standpoint some
men will wall and moan over the
high cost" of things until one
would imagine they were all but
bankrupt in consequence Meat
may be a trifle higher, but as
they wouldn't use over ten
pounds a week the extra cost
couldn't be over a quarter.
Clothes may be 81 higher on the
suit, but that two dollars will
generally cover the extra cost of
clothes for the year. There is
practically no advance in house
rents and ordinary necessities
worth considering when compar-
ed with the general prosperity
that assures the purchase price,
and shorter day with increased
wage for labor. But the most
persistent bowler will berate
conditions and go right on spend
ing 10 cents for meat and 25
cents for booze; 5 cents for
bread and 10 cents for cigars.
Sometimes in a streak of econ
omy they will cut off their church
contribution and home paper
subscription, rage about the
school tax and fill their belly
with ice cream cones and their
heads with a politician s thunder.
They will roar over the price of
a calico dress till supper time,
and spend the evening tramping
around a billiard table at 10 cents
per game, The other day d man,
whose wife does her own wash
ing to keep down expenses,
threw days wages into the face
of a slot machine and took away
cigars and chewing gum, then
reviled the standpattefs for re
fusing to see the oppression In
prices. The world has a whole
pascal o people who are running
over breed heHs in 2 red auto.

On the Level.

A level head" is generally re
garded as a desirable quality il
a man; the farmer likes leveI
field better than one that lies on
incline: for obvious reasons a
level and even road affords quick
er means of transportation than
a hilly one; the mariner prefers
smooth sea to one tossed
into waves, and so on ad infinitum.
but the proposition of Mr. Gary
of the Steel Trust that the same
principle applied to the price of
commodities, to maintain them
on a level through government
control of the big Industrial com
binations, does not seem to meet
with general favor. Yet there is
much in this plan to recommend
it to the mind that can get itself
out of the conventional rut of
thought. Conservatism is the
heaviest clog to social and politi
cal progress, and because we
have never done the thing before,
so many of us think that we can
not undertake it now. In view
ing the proposition of Mr.. Gary
the average thinker will at once
revert to that much worn maxim.
that competition is the life of
trade" We have heard this so
long and so often that we accept
it as a fundamental truth, when
it really is unmitigatedly false as
an economic principle. One of
the best instances we have to
prove it's falsity is provided by
the Oil Trust. The Standard Oil
Co., being a monopoly, maintains
a fairly level price on its COM
modify result being, that it
never has labor troubles because
it evidently pays wages satisfac-
tory to labor; the quality of its
product is maintained at a high
standard because it does not have
to lower it to meet the demands
These are the bene-
fits OF a level price to the labor
in the production OF Oil
and to the consumer. The bene-
fit to capital invested by the
is equal to the benefits
of the other interested elements.
fer the dividends are secured and
uermanent. However thegradual
concen.. .."ation of capital under
is the O., o,-e defect OF the
economic value of monopoly; "o'
right here is where the plan of
control and regula-
lion steps in to correct this de-
feet. Under government super
vision private capital invested in
monopolized industry cannot be-
come rapacious and must con-
tent itself with a reasonable"
profit. When the earnings of
capital exceed acertain point the
lowers the price of
the commodity supplied to re
luce the earnings, but this re-
auction affects nothing but the
divid ends, the wages of labor re-
mains the same; the consumer
gets the benefit of the reduction.
Does capital object to less profit
it must show a satisfactory reas-
on for it. Partially applied this
has already been found
to work very well in the regula-
ton of the earnings of interstate
railroads. We do not find Mr..
Gary's suggestion at all scary or
a plunge into socialism," as one

HIGH PRICE PROBLEMS.

Since most of the attempts to create political
capital by yilifying big business consists of APP
peals to the farmers to rise up in rebellion
against high prices, they should at the same time
be asked to consider who loses most and most
quickly when prices fall The producer Of raw
material nearly always is that loser The cot
ton growers of the south know that today The
cattlc-raisers Of the west will realize its truth
tomorrow.
1t is not true that manufacturers make the
biggest profits when prices are high What they
desire is moderately low range Of prices that
will stimulate consumption The chief factor
is the cost Of raw material. The cotton mills
make just much money when cotton
is nine cents a pound as when it is twelve 1t
makes little difference to them, but it does mean
4 great deal to the cotton planter for that three
cents pound represents to him the difference be-
tween little or profit and profit of % per
cent on all he sells. Last year prices were so
high that the cotton mills made little if anything,
and the cottonseed oil refners and crllshers all
lost money Farmers who raised cotton were
the only ones who did not suffer from twenty
five cent cotton. which was the high record for
the staple
SO much countenance has been given by the
farmers to the agitation for reduction of the
tariff wool and WOODEN goods that Congress
is almost certain to lower it. Without going into
the merits Of this questions at all, it may be
pointed out to the farmers as a whole that such
Of them as raise wool sheep will feel the full eff
fleets Of the reduction the minute it becomes law
Mill owners and dealers may be able to work
off goods on hand with little no loss because
stocks are not heavy and consumption is stead

is not there, forget it and start in the right di-
