The Argus Daily Story
Miss Macgregor-By F. A. Mitchell
Copyrighted. 1911. by Associated Literary Bureau.

Miss Macgregor was & Scotch lady,
who came over to America from Glas-
cow to Boston in colonial days. Miss
MacgregOr at the time the events mar
rated In this story occurred was sixty
years old. four feet eleven inches high
and her circumference four feet two.
Her hair was snowy white. There
was much in the elderly maiden's ap-
pearance to indicate that she was
firm of purpose. Her face was square.
her eyes deep set in the sockets, and
the corners Of her mouth curved
downward. She had never married
and had never had any desire to be
married. Indeed. the male sex was
repulsive to her.
Miss Macgregor came from Scotland
with her father. who accumulated a
fortune in trading on the sea. At his
death, which occurred when he was
a very old man, he left his daughter,
then past middle age. several ships,
besides houses and land. Miss Mac
gregor took his place in the manage
ment of her property, continuing the
business on the ocean. She would
have made women captains OF her
vessels, but in those days women were

Some High Prices

The price of beer has gone up, but
this does not affect the high cost of
living as much in proportion as does
the high price of milk. The high price
of beer may affect the size of the
glass or stein that is served by the
bartender, but it is still at the same
old price and the number of imbibi-
tions by the man who spends his
money over the bar will not be great.
" increased.
But with the season coming on
when milk is scarce and high the ne
cessity for cutting down the allow
ance of the children at every meal is
a problem that strikes at the very
root of the family life. Then there
are eggs and butter, which form a
good part Of the staple table supplies
of the ordinary family. Eggs are al
ways high in winter, and If milk goes
up, butter goes up.
In many cities there are being
formed combinations by people to
bring the most common food pro-
ducts nearer to the people by cut
ting out the middlemen's profits. 1t
will be remembered that in the palmy
days of the grange the cooperative
stores were tried with varying sue
cess. 1t was largely abandoned in
later wears.
The people in the growing cities
Of the country are beginning to IN
derstand the reason for the high
prices of farm products. They see
that they are too far away and that
gradually the middlemen have &C.
cupied the vacant space that exists
between the producer and the con-
sumner and have erected a tariff wall
which enables them to keep the game
in their own hands by exacting tri-
butte before the products of the farm
and garden are allowed to reach
their destination. The cold storage
companies hoard up vast quantities
Of these products and hold them for
higher prices regardless of the de-
mand and the deterioration in quail
ity.
There must be a remedy for these
conditions. 1t should not come
through the boycott or any other vio-
lent method, but it might well come
through sensible cooperation. The
Tignt method must be worked out
Of the situation.

2 Washing Dirty Linen -

worlds belief that American bust
ness methods are rotten is the basis
of fact. 1t is the truth that hurts.
1t is not ony the great trust de-
cisions which give Europe ground

1t easily recalls the meat trust

Its memory runs back to the
plucking of foreign investors in Erie

1t remembers the ship-building
trust and the long line of New Jer-
sey stock explorations.
If Yankee smartness is not syn
onymous with trickery in the minds
of the European, it is not because we
have neglected an opportunity to
make it so.
For generation we have been
trading on a reputation for business
honesty and fair dealing which it
took a century to acquire 1t is
time we were redeeming it and re-
verting to old standards.
There is a serious pleasantness
in washing dirty linen in public.
But the important thing is that
We are washing it.

"Non.Factional Candidate"

Republicans of Illinois are confront
ed by a Yates-Small-Lorimer faction, a
Jones faction, a Deneen faction, a Gull
lom faction with a more or less defln-
ite line of principle dividing these bel
ligerant forces. And now comes a
new species of republican OffiCe-seek-
er-the self-styled "non-factional' can
didate.
Such candidates purpose is obvious.
He begs for support from all factions.
But the confession conveyed in such
an attitude is quite significant. 1t is a
surrender of conviction and an admis-
sion OF weakness. Only the political
Jelly fish has refrained from taking
sides in the republican party on the is
sue OF Lorimerism, and the of1ice-seek-
er who calls himself "non-factional'

negative a quality 10 deserve election

The Lorimer bunch will play the
"non-factional' game TO a fragile. Vot-
ers would do well to look with suspi-
cion upon any candidacy labeled non
fractional" II is a fraud on the face
OF it because there can be no middle
ground between LOrimerism and anti
Lorimerism.

In a special cable dispatch from
London to a New York paper is this
very significant paragraph:
The old world has come to believe
in general terms that American
business methods are rotten.
1t will take more than a paper
reorganization of the great trusts
and a perfunctory cleaning of the
Augean stables of Wall street to restore
European belief in American honesty
and fair dealing. L will be a long
time before public opinion on this
side of the Atlantic Will have any
confidence in American corporate
reform"
This sounds very severe, and
there certainly seems to be consid-
cradle ground for it.
But the only real difference be-
tween the American people ana the
English is that we wash our dirty
linen in public and they don't wash
theirs at all.
1t is the public washing of the
linen which makes the dirtiness con
spicuous.
II is a blessed practice, and may
We long keep it up.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus)
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE president
has been in the west. The people have
listened to his defense. And they still
believe he did wrong in vetoing the
honest efforts of both branches of con-
gress TO reduce the awful cost of liv-
ing in the United States.
Such is the tenor of the news that
has come over the wires from the spe-
cial correspondents who either accom-

mile swing.
Arthur Henning, Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune, inter

Mr.. Taft personally, but absolutely dis
approved his record as president.

The Comet.


A comet that comes shopping round
And doesn't wear a tail
Can't frighten children or adults
Or make the world turn pale.
It may be forty times as large
And several times as warm.
But who would sit up half the night
To look at 1t perform?
Without handle to it's name,
Without q streak Of light
One hundred miles in length,
II measurements were right,
How can it ever hope to be
terror and a scare
To wicked, sinful ones who think
They see their finish there?
While that may be the latest style
OF doing up its hair
That once went streaming down its back
And floating IN the air.
We cannot quite be reconciied
Nor Judge from what we see
That II IS IN the new disguise
Just what it claims to be.
For comets ever since the day
They sauntered from afar
Have always carried round the sign
That marked them from a star.

cent record the democrats made in con-
gress last session, and frankly admit
ted that since the democrats had shown
real ability to govern, and govern well,
it was no more than their due that
they should be given greater RESPONSE
bility.
ALL LEGITIMATE BUSINESS SAFE.
Chairman A O. Stanley of the steel
trust investigating committee says the
republicans are endeavoring to create
the impression that the democratic in
vestigation of the steel trust is in the
nature of an attack on the steel bust
ness. He denied that this is true.
Republican newspapers said Mr..
Stanley, ARE trying to make the coun-
try believe we are prosecuting the
steel corporation. Nothing could be
further from the truth The investi-
cation has been conducted with the ut
most fairness, and not a single one of
the steel men who testified failed to
thank the committee for the fair and
generous way in which he had been
treated.
The democrats realize the necessity
for constructive action. They want the
country to feel that no legitimate bust
ness is going to suffer at their hands,
and that no business which is not legit-
innate is going to prosper if they can
help it.
The democratic party is not bent
upon a ruthless policy of destruction,
and no legitimate business need fear
that it will be treated unfairly"

raise, yet he gets nearly twice as much
out of it as we do. Here's chickens.
for instance. These mfddlemen put
our chickens in cold storage and keep
them there until shortage is created
Then he puts up prices to the consum-
er. Moreover. these middlemen are in
league with the cold storage people, so
that they have practical trust"
