Shoe Trade Notes.
Chuzzlewit.

Shoe manufacturers. wholesalers
and retailers, are much interested
in a new leather named "Ferro,"
which is being placed on the market
by Albert Trostel & Sons Co., of
Milwaukee. Dirt or stains have no
effect on the leather; in fact, shoes
with "Ferro" leather do not appear
to need the application of polish.
This saving, OF course, meaps con-
siderable, so that such shoes could
be regarded as profitable a d
economical investment. 1t is claimed
also that sunshine cannot effect the
color which remains permanently
bright and handsome. The public
will appreciate shoes which can be
quickly washed with soap and water
and look as good as new. Many
shoe manufacturers and others of
the shoe trade have written Messrs..
Trostel for further information
about this remarkable leather and
the factory here has made up several
samples trying them out. From
having daily seen a pair of these
shoes which one of the office force
has been wearing over a month at
hard usage, through all kinds of
weather, mud, rain. ETC., still retain
it's new lustre, it is evident that this
leather is far above any tan colored
leather ever put on the market. OF
course it is needless to state that it
is very expensive.
Styles in footwear from Paris
have been modified by Massachu-
setts manufacturer to meet the re-
quirement of bis customers who are
retailers of fine shoes for women in
large American cities. 1t may seem
unusual to a good many people TO
have an American shoe manufac-
turer 90 to Paris for suggestions for
new styles. But, the fact is that
Paris is the fashion center of the
world and it is constantly creating
new styles in footwear as we'll as in
apparel and it's new designs in foot
wear offer suggestions to American
manufacturers.

THE sale of Intoxicating bever-
ages has been recognized as an hon
orable calling since the dawn of his
torv," remarks our old friend, the
Balloon" The statement is correct
so far as it goes but to be complete
should add. only by those who
make, sell and drink it," We have
noticed that when man goes into
the liquor business he must suffer
social ostracism and contempt at
the hands of the best people in his
community.

IT ought to be great comfort to
great men who, when in this world,
are thought very small indeed, to
think how big they'll be upon earth
when they've gone to heaven-a
comfort for them when they may
happen to want a coat, to think of
the shirt of bronze or marb.e that
will afterwards be given them.

ACROSS the deep, through the
darkness of a night of horror such
as seas have rarely known, there yet
shines one comforting ray, and
against the background of wreck
and gloom it brightens a picture of
noble sacrifice of the stronger for
the weaker. When the sea gives
up it's dead there may rise among
the glowing forms Of It's heroes
those gallant hundreds of the lost
Titanic who doomed themselves to
spare the women and children.
There were 143 women and chill
dren in the first cabin, eighty-seven
in the second and in the third many
more whose number is not yet given
Almos, the first flash of the wire
less operator announced: Nearly
all saved are women and children. :"
So it must be that most of the saved i,
more than 500 in number, were
women of h e third cabin. The
strong men of the Titanic, officers,
crew and passengers, were in that
b our gentlemen after Gods own
heart.
Strength only reaches it's sublim-
ity in sacrifice. Sacrifice reaches it's
sublimity when it is done for a
principle, a sentiment, an ideal. 1t
is easy to die for a loved one. But
the brave gentlemen W ho relin-
pushed their loves, their wives and
their little ones, their all, to stand
back and die for the nameless wom-
en- Of the steerage, and the noble
men of the steerage who helped the
ladies of the first and second class
into the life -boats-these men stayed
and died together for pure gallantry.
Yet how simple is the truest he
roism? How easy was the choice
of what moment the matter of life
and death? h?-to men ingrained with
the highest traditions of the race
and Of true manhood the world over!
What measure of men is honor,
and how the very best in mans ma
ture rises to it's example or responds
to its demands! The instinct of true
bravery is leveler. Puny distinc-
tions fade in the face of great deeds
and at the call of death.
Among the heroes lying on the
bottom of the ocean at 41:16 north,
5O:l4 west, who would venture to
distinguish the so-called aristocrat
from his neighbors in t b e same
grave, the grimy stoker, the brave
steward, or the rough-clad gentle
man of the steerage?
For in choosing to die like rats
together to save the women and
children, they all died as the noblest
of the human race. st. Louis Re-

INFLUENCE AND BossIsM.

This talk about political bosses is
all rot. Every prominent man is a
boss to the extent of his influence.
Look at Bryan. He talks about bosses,
yet it is said he accomplished the
nomination of Wilson at Baltimore.
And there is Wilson himself. Has he
not shown himself q political boss in
the sense that he has used all his in
auence to prevent the election of
Smith as senator from New Jersey?
Roosevelt says he is opposed by the
bosses, yet he organized political
party and made himself it's nominee,
dictated it's platform and has had alb.
solute control of it in every way. It's
just a question of who can control the
most people. It's not bossism, but it's
influence. Every man ought to have
an influence and exercise it for what
he believes to be right.-Hamilton
Herald.

influence and bossism. A man may

BRYAN's GROWTH.

The tax roll for 1912 has just been
completed and few comparisons are
Of interest, as they show the growth
of the city in the last few years, which
all agree is substantial growth, ca
pable of doubling again in the next
few years.
The assessed valuation for 1912 is
$2,645,130, as against $2,399,59O for
1911. The increased valuation as
shown by the roll is almost exclusive
ly new property.
The assessed valuation of the city
for 1900 was $1,325,715, an increase
in twelve years of nearly one hundred
per cent. The assessed value in 1908
was $1,63S,765, an increase in eight
years, from 1900 to 1908, of s319,O5O,
or 23 1/2 per cent in the eight years.
The increase from 1908 to 1912 was
81, OO6,365, or 81 1/2 per cent for the
four years. The valuation for 1910
was $1,955,277, an increase in the last
two years of s6s9,S53, or So 1/3 per
cent.
The Eagle challenges the world to
show a greater development than this,
and, judging the future by the past, it
is easy to see that we are building
here a great city, and building it fast.
