DELIVERY SERVICE SUITS 'EM.
Emporia Has a Beneficit Trust
Whites Deductions.


William Allen White has tackled
the trust question and we submit his
findings as about as level headed a
statement as has been given out;
"A year or so ago a man came to
Emporia and interested all the gro
Gerry store keepers and meat market
men in a cooperative delivery sys-
TEN. He bought their old delivery
wagons, sold them or junked them,
put on new wagons, and one firm now
delivers all the groceries and meat
in town. This week the dry goods
and clothing men and few others
went into another cooperative de-
livery arrangement. They trust one
another's good faith and integrity,
and they trust the man who manages
the plan to be fair to all, 1t is merely
an evidence of the development Of
the Christian virtues Of common de-
cency-this mutual trust and good
will among business rivals. They
make it pay They save money; the
manager Of the concern makes a
good salary, and harmony Is pro-
noted, economic waste is reduced
and the common decency inherent in
these men is capitalized. E.
"Now fundamentally, this is what
the Standard Oil should be; 1t is the
basis OF every trust ever organized.
The evils of the trusts-cW-throat
competition, hoggish profits, unfair
stock jobbing-those may be reme-
died without destroying the trust.
The trust is an economic tendency
of the times. 1t is part OF the hui
man development. 1t Is possible
only where men actually do trust"
one another. 1t may not be checked
by laws. This tendency is bigger
than the supreme court. 1t is in
the heart of humanity, growing kind
Tier and more trustworthy every year.
1t is working in Emporia and 1t is
working in Wall street. The thing
to do is to regulate 1t strictly so
that the evils of the trust-the un-
fairness of mean men, the arrogance
that comes with great power-may
be prevented. But the benefits OF
the trust in saving money to pro-
ducers and consumers are too OBJ
vious to be lightly thrown aside. Put
ting men in jail, breaking up COM
binations, and indicting trust mag
mates will only muddy the water
It is the evils of trusts, not the trusts
themselves, that must be broken
"This Emporia instance is cited
merely to show Emporia people how
Inevitable are the big combinations
in restraint of trade that we are
trying to break up The thing to do
is not to break them up-but make
them serve us as this Emporia de-
livery system is serving us. In the
end it will mean lower prices, bet
ter service and steadier employment
for labor"

when W. Y. Morgan writes book.
The holiday season this year has
made particularly interesting to ev-
cry lover of good book by the

The volume is attractively printed
and exceedingly interesting from

worn paths and struck into the by
ways of Holland and France, telling
of each. days experiences and Vt odd
and novel things that strike the
visitors eye. He was in England
during the labor troubles and dis
Cllsses in a first-hand and compre-
ensive manner the events of that
occasion. The new volume is as in
teresting and sprishtly as was THE
Journey of a Jayhawker" which all
Kansas enjoyed and has been read
and reread since its publication six
wears ago. There is nothing more
Interesting on the Kansas book
shelf than Mr.. Morgan's books and
the new volume is one that Will
gladden. many a Christmas table. 1t
| Is one of the few books which will
stand reading more than once, which
is a real test of excellence.
Professor McKeever, of the State
Agricultural College, who is We'll

lover of the commonwealth. Pro-
fessur McKeever is we'll known for
his millions OF pamphlets ON the

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a WarninQ
to Every Man aud Woman

The newspapers and medical jour
mails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's Of
fer of million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton of his stomach He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurabIe.
His misfortune serves as a warn
ing to others.
Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for few years will give
everything he owns for new stom-
ach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the walls
of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach loses it's power to digest
food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore
to the gastric juices their digestive
power, and to aid in making the
stomach strong and well.
We know that ReXall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a most dependable rem
edy for disordered stomachs, indiges-
ton, and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money if you are not
more than satisfied with the result
Three sizes, % cents, so cents, and
$1.00. Remember, you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in this community
only at our store Chas. Fiesler

She Craved Thanks

"They thanked everybody and
everything but the press" remarked
one of the lady reporters at the press
table Thursday evening when the
resolutions had been read. when
you've been in the business as long
as l have you won't mind little
thing like that" remarked The Her.
aid representative, but the little
lady refused to be comforted. And
it looked as though she had griev-
ance, for if there was anybody in
hearing distance of the convention it
was that quartet of Woodworking
newspaper women. They toiled ear
ly and late, the click of their busy
typewriters being distinctly audible
in the Palmer House corridors long
after midnight. And they got "all
the news ali the time" and dished
up in great style, too. Query: why
didn't the resolutions committee re-
member the press?
