oil and tobacco trusts still can raise

done so.
Such business chains and legal
parad0Xes as the American suffers
from can be found nowhere else in
the world"
The speaker declared the Progress
sive party will accomplish reforms
vital to American business
1--WE mean to put new business laws
on our statute books which will tel!
American business men what they
can do and what they cannot do. The
next great business reform we must
lave to steadily increase American
prosperity is to change the method OF
building our tariffs. The tariff mus.
be taken out of politics and treated
az a business question instead of d
political question. The greatest need
of business is certainty. but the only
thing certain about our tariff is un-
certainty. Next to our need to make
the Sherman law modern understand
able and just. our greatest fiscal nees!
is a genuine permanent, nOn-partisah
tariff commission the speaker said
"Therc has not been and will not be
any sincere and honest effort by the
cid parties to get tariff commission
nor to take the tariff out of politics.
"a tariff high enough to give
American producers the American
market when they make honest goods
and sell them at honest prices, but
low enough that when they sell dis
honest goods at dishonest prices, for
eign competition can correct bot,.
evils; a tariff high enough to enable
American producers to pay working
men American wages and so arranged
that the workingmcn will get such
wages; business tariff whose
changes will be so made as 10 re-
assure business instead Of disturbing
it-this is the tariff and the method
of its making in which the Progress
sive party believes. for which it does
LATHE and which it proposed to write
into the laws of the land
Abolition Of child labor in fac
tories. mills, mines and sweatshOps
and plan for old age pensions were
included in the Progressive platform
by the speaker who incidentally fav-
orcd woman suffrage.

FIGHT PICTURES
 CROWD ROYAL
Johnson-Flynn Movies Serve to Draw Capacity Au-
 diences; Again Tonight

A capacity audience greeted the first showing of the moving pictures of the Johnson-Flynn heavyweight bat tie at the Royal Theater last night. lt is estimated that over a thousand people were in attendance, and every one appeared to be pleased with the entertainment.
 The films are remarkably clear and many in the audience who witnessed the fight in Las Vegas July 4, de- clared that the reproduction really gives better idea of the fight than the original itself.
 The pictures bear out the charge made by the stporting writers that Johnson held Flynn all through the fight. and that Flynn butted, or at tempted to butt the champion in al- most every round of the contest. Flynn can be distinctly seen at least three different times to jump from his feet and attempt to strike Johnson with his head, but on account of the superior height of the champion, the blows from his opponents head seem no more effective than those with his fists.
 The ninth, or closing round of the battle is especially well shown. The fighters. separated by about six feet, are apparently arguing or appealing to the referee when Captain Fornof steps into the ring and holds up both hands as signal that proceedings must stop Instantly all is confusion. Spectators and officials crowd into the ring, and the end of the pictures comes with the platform a black mass of people.
 The appearance of Captain Fornoff, which last night was greeted with hisses from the audience, was evident ly intended to be intensely dramatic. The captain, at the beginning of the ninth, round, is seen at one corner of the ring and almost out of range of the picture machine, but before making his coup d'etat he carefully selects a position in the exact center of the stage, thus getting into the moving pictures with bells.
 Just why the captain entered the ring at this particular moment is not apparent from the pictures. The men were not fighting, Johnson wore his golden smile. while Flynn was seem ingly trying to convince the referee on some point. Possibly the captain wanted to stop the conversation.
 The pictures will be shown again tonight.

TRACKED BY POSTAGE STAMPS
Little Peculiarly, but It Meant Much to the Trained Eye O. tho
 Watehful Detective.

Whether a man is a criminal or Q iaw-abiding citizen. he ought to take the pains to stick his postage stamps on exactly straight" an old detective said. eIf he is straight he won't lose anything by it, and if he is crooked be will gain When I was in the gov ernment service the first thing found out about man under suspicion was the way he stuck on his stamps. One of the cIeverest swindlers I ever land ed was tracked through his postage stamps.
 After you put stamp on certain way for a little while it becomes sec ond nature and you stick it on that way unsconsciously. That was what that man did. All his stamps were stuck on diagonally, leaving little triangle of a certain size at the cor ner of the envelope. He was a slip pery fellow and had eluded vigilance for months. One day happened to be lettering around a possofice of country town where had gone on an other trail. The mail came in, and through the little window I watched the postmaster sort it. Presently spotted an envelope with the stamp stuck on in that triangular fashion 1 got the postmark, hiked back to that , town, and nabbed my man. If he nao put his stamps. on straight. proDaoiy he never would have been caught
