To Our Friends and Patrons

The backward season has caused this
unpleasant selling situation. We have
tried hard to weather it through bravely
but being overstocked to the guards in
every section of the store, we will in
augurate the greatest selling event ever
attempted in Union City. No failure,
no fire, no tale Of sadness or disaster.
Bona hde, clean, fast selling that will
set standard for value giving for years
to come. We pledge ourselves to
cover the loss of profit You get the
benefit. Profits vanish entirely until this
stock of clothing and mems furnishings is sufficiently
reduced. Thanking you for continued patronage
and your buying efforts during these bargain days,
we are very truly yours.

UNITY FOR SCIENCE
ANDRELIGION URGED
The Presidents Pastor Gives
FOrceful Sermon.

Differences that have existed between
science and religion for so many years
could be wiped out in the opinion of Rev.
Ulysses G. b. Pierce. pastor of All
Souls Church. if the people of the world
would adhere to the one God or the unity
of life. Rev. Mr.. Pierce began series
of sermons on topics of the day last night
and fiayed the custom now in vogue of
having certain ethics for the church, an
other kind for business. and still another
for social functions.
If people would hold to the same
ethics Monday that they practice Sun
day the world would be a great deal
better and the estrangement that has
been so much in evidence between re-
ligion and science would be at an end, "
he said.
Both religion and science should go
together. That they have disagreed for
SO long is either the fault of religion or
science, and II the unity OF life were in
evidence among the people Of the world
to-day there would be no such separa-
ton

In the opinion Of the delegates, an
American merchant marine is absolutely
| Necessary because of trade conditions
which are not altogether satisfactory
They claim that an expansion Of markets
is required and believe the merchant ma.
| rine would furnish new fields for their
manufactures.
Representative William T.. Humphrey
of Washington. is one of the advocates al
the merchant marine, and has repeatedly
given his views before Congress. He said
last night:
That trade does not follow the flag is
not sentiment, but a fact, when the flag
is on an American merchant ship. This
fact is demonstrated by the commercial
history of every modern nation. The
primary purpose of the building up OF
American shipping in the foreign trade is
20 Co. r,r
lean products. The carrying Of our mails
is but means to this end.
From American conSuls everywhere
comes the one universal declaration that
what We need to develop our trade is d.
rect and regular American ships.
Since American steamships have
ceased to run to Brazil our export trade
to that country mas rapidly decreased
The time was when there were American
business houses in South America, India
and China. Then our ships went to those
countries.
Contest Of Commerce.
when the American ships disappeared
the American business houses also van
Shed. The great contest Of to-day is one
of commerce and not Of war. The world
furnishes no example OF any nation III
creasing her foreign trade by the use OF
ships of other nations. Human nature
makes this impossible. You can no more
purchase patriotism in trade in time OF
peace than you can purchase it in time OF
war.
If We are to win the great battle of
commercial supremacy we must use our
own ships and employ our own citizens
and do it under our own flag. We might
just as we'll expect to conquer foreign
countries by hiring foreign navies and
armies as to talk of conquering foreign
markets by employing foreigners and for
eisn ships

Mere than 5000 fatalities attended acct

in the twenty years ended with 1906, accord
ing to {, report of the Bureau of Labor.
IN the decade ended with 1906 the average
fatality rate in North America was S-13
per LEGO. which was higher than the
fatality rate in any other important Goa!
field in the world. In the United King
dem the rate was 80 per 1000 employees.

The full extent of the risk in coal

each geographical section" says the re-
port
These show tina: in the East Central

in the fatality rates is due to different

Child Labor Scored.
The report criticiSes mining methods in
the United States, and also the employ
ment of children in the mines. adding:
Mining methods in the United States
are often crude, and known safety pre-
cautions are either disregarded or not
used. Chld-labor laws have been. and
still are, indifferently complied with in
many States. and a number of fatalities
occur each year among children at an
age when they should be in school, In 1905

numbers, and through misunderstanding
of orders or by reckless disregard of the

of trained and experienced workers. The
author argues in favor of better educa-

of foremen. superintendent. and exam

The most important single and we'll

Warmly praising Taft's efforts for
treaties pledging reference of every dis
pute whatever to arbitration. condemnins
the newspapers for their lack of knowI-

especially as the Orientals are so familiar
with our language. Edwin D. Mead. of

States as a world power"
THE United States as a world power.
which has become so common and fash
ionable among people Of this country
since we. with a vastly superior force,
sunk few Spanish gunboats in Manila
and Santiago, had its inception long be-
fore this time and in totally different
way said Mr.. Mead.
That Is very cheap view of world
power and n very cheap view of the
United States. The United States began
as world power in 1915. when the first
International peace society was formed in
New York City. This peace society un-
doubtedly led to the present Hague tri-
bunal. which / venture to predict will ulti-
mately be parliament of men, meeting
as regularly as our own Congress, and
OF vastly more use to the world in gen.
eral."
Letters Bonds of Friendship.
The greatest bonds of international
friendship. he said. were the millions OF
letters which were mailed from this coun-
try to every hamlet in Europe as well as
to other parts of the world
Mr.. Mead referred to the cosmopolitan
clubs at the different universities through
out the country the membership of which
can be only one-third native Americans.
The other two-thirds are made I'D of
foreigners. The membership Of these
clubs total over 2.0CC. He advocated such
clubs as the best possible mode of uni
versal peace.
In closing Mr.. Mead said that promoters
of universal peace were termed idlers for
many years. but that the time is soon
coming. when the war ships Of all nations
will be united in the only function that
they will be called upon to perform-po-
lice duty on the sea.

OOO Appropriation for the Purpose.

Washington is TO have a show place for

project if the government appropriates
that amount.
DR.. Charles Montezuma. an Apache re-
siding in Chicago, is at the head Of the
organization.

Representative Stephens is enthusiasts

afford a fitting and united recognition OF
the real Americans" According to the
plans of the association, Mr.. Stephens
says. the buildings here will be similar
to the Smithsonian Institution. but. Of
COURSE on much smaller scale and
with Indian exhibits only.

said Mr. Stephens last night THE sew
eral tribes throughout the Western res
ervations depend almost wholly on their
handiwork for maintenance. Such an in
