The Time to Stop Your
nd Is the Day Your
Property is Sold +!

If every one who had property to
sell followed the plan of advertising it
continuously and persstently UNTIL
1T IS SOLD, no one would ever feel
property poor" And, while occasion
ally an ad might have to be repeated a
score or more of times, the cost of it
would be but trifing compared to the
advantage of finding the buyer to whom
that particular property WOULD BE
A BARGAIN at the price asked.
All property in or near this city
IS SALABLE. Thus the RULE OF
ADVERTISING YOUR PROPERTY
UNTIL 1T IS SOLD is a safe and pru-
dent one. OF course, the best time to
BEGIN is NOW and, as suggested,
the ONLY time to stop is when your
sale is made!

WICkERSHAM MOVES
AGAINST COFFEE TRUST
Alto rney General Files Suit IN Equity
Against the sackers OF brazt''a"
vaiorization Scheme.

New York-Attorney General WICK
ershan on Saturday moved against the
so-called coffee scheme. In a petition
in equity filed in the United States
court here the valorization plan Is de-
clared to be a violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The court is asked to decree the
scheme unlawful, to enJoin the valor-
ization committee from Withholding
coffee from the market and to appoint
a receiver to sell the 100000 bags, val
ued at $1O.OOO,0O0, now alleged to be-
stored in warehouses Of the New YORK
Dock company.
The government also applied for
temporary injunction restraining the
valorization committee from removing
or disposing of coffee held in America
pending the termination of the issue.
The members of the valor1zatlon
committee have agreed among them
selves, the government charges, to
withhold from the market large guam
titles Of coffee under their control Tor
raising the price to an unreasonable
extent. They have thus attempted, 1t
is declared. to restrain the coffee trade
throughout the world. ,-~4'

Circus Robbed by Bandits.

Rock Springs, Wyo.-The ticket
wagon Of Cole Brothers circus was
held up and robbed here Saturday OF
$1,700. The robbers arrived on the
circus grounds soon after the show
started, and after taking all of the
money from the ticket wagon escaped
into the mountains. 1t is believed
here that the robbery was committed
by the Whitney brothers, who are
supposed to have been hiding near
this town for several months.

Indeed. it is conceivable that the day
may come when there can no more be-
opportunity for military distinction.
but this very fact will increase the
glory of the ages of heroism. Then
the nation will look back to the deeds
Of the heroes who saved the Union,
and they will be honored as living in
an age. the majesty of which cannot
be moderated by any change of ideas
as to the utility Of warfare. Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes Of
the nations strife will be a less trib-
ute than any to follow. for every year
the need OF praise and the warmth Of
encomium will be increased. as the
widening vista Of the past lends addi-
tional enchantment to the theme. The
time will come when every part Of the
nation, without disparagement to the
men who fought on the other side.
will unite in acclaiming the men who
preserved the nation and made 1t the
mighty leader in all movements for
the peace and honor of mankind.
War may be all that it has been
painted and its horrors cannot be too
gravely set forth, but there is a pro-
found religion in the warfare that re-

Possibility That Germany May Ac

Waship gton.-The possibility that
81. Thomas, St. John and Santa Cruz,
the three West Indian possessions OF
Denmark, may fall into the hands OF
Germany because Of the death Of the
Danish King Frederick VIII, is now
occupying the earnest attention OF
diplomatists in Washington.

even more friendly to Germany than
his father and that Germany has never
concealed a willingness to acquire
these islands, and thus gain a com.
mercial foothold on one of the south.

continent.
Inasmuch as the islands are of the
greatest strategic importance to this
country, now that the Panama canal is
about to open, there is disposition
to regard their disposal. even to a
friendly power bent only on CONNER
cial expansion, as unwise. Diplomats
who have been discussing the situa'
ton since the death of the late king

United States should be the pur

1t is we'll to lay emphasis upon the
day that has the most distinctive
glory OF any peculiarly American
holiday. The glory of Decoration day
Is that it holds in national hallowing
the mighty deeds of brave men. Their
deeds will be immortal, who fought
not because they had spleen toward
their brethren-now united In the
bonds Of a common home. endeavor
and destiny-but because they saw a
shattered nation wrecked upon the

and the men who did the deeds hon.

1t Is easy enough after war has
been fought to prove the uselessness
OF 1t. 1t has often been shown how
the difference between the north and
the south might have been adjusted
with such terrible waste of life and
treasure. Grant that within the de-
vices Of political expediency these
preventions were possible, the fact
still remains that the wars were

purged, and the God of battles en-
forced his ancient law of eye for eye
and drop Of blood for drop of blood
Children are always bearing the
faults Of their fathers, and the men
and women OF go to IS poured out
Of their own veins and out of their
own souls an equal portion of blood
and misery that their, fathers drew
from the veins OF an enslaved race.
No moral debts long remain unpaid.
What If the purging was drastic
and the throes suffered by the war
ring elements brought 1t staggering
to It's knees, was not the cleansing
complete? The nation stands today
the stronger and the sweeter for that
conflict. For 1t was not merely the
quarrelsome distemper of war that az
flicted the people. but score of dis
eases; not human slavery alone. but
factional Jealousy. greed. selfishness.
state misgovernment and federal
abuses. How vastly these have been
eliminated can be appreciated only
by study of the injustices of that
ante-bellum period. The nation in
that memorable struggle was expected
by cynical observers in Europe to
crumble and fall. But these observers
failed utterly to grasp the Significance
Of the struggle that was being fought
for national purity and national unity.
Instead Of perceiving giant rending
himself, as they thought. they were
watching giant wrestling with the
evil that was within him.
As the day of that conflict ever re-
cedes. and the din grows less stri-
dent to the ear. Its better significance
makes itself felt The broad page Of
history teaches lesson that partici-
patton in the actual war itself might
not have taught. II any soldiers stood
in the trenches unmindful of the sig
nificance of the struggles in which he
was a part. he is not unmindful now
as he measures his step to the beat OF
the muffled drum today. For time has
shown all wherein lay the universal
meaning of that conflict. The nation
was being bled Of its distempers, even
through his veins. And 1t rose up,
weakened and saddened. but with the
courage Of the victor and the resolu-
ton OF the chastened.

DON'T WANT THEIR
PROPERTIES LABELED
New Workers Against Plan to Make
Owners Names Public.

New York, Oct 24.-"The little tin
plate bill" a measure to compel post
ing of owners names on all buildings
in this city, was opposed by a large
number of citizens, at hearing before
an aldermanic committee.
The police investigation of disorder
" houses, after the Rosenthal murder,
revealed that many such properties
were owned by prominent citizens, and
the "tin-plate" idea followed, causing a
stir among real estate interests. The
opposition was combatted by clergy
men of several denominations and Soc
ial workers.
Frederick H. Whiting, secretary OF
the citizens committee of fourteen,
said that "a supreme court justice, an
official of the chamber of commerce. a
former comptroller of New York city,
and a Connecticut. minister" were am
ong those who own disorderly houses

EQUAL PAY TO TEACHERS
FREEZES OUT THE MEN

New York, Oct. 24.-The public
schools of New York city are TODAY
face to face with one of the results
of the equal pay law. which secured
like salaries for men and women
teachers. This week the board of edu-
cation will appoint as teachers in the
elementary schools 1888 women and %
men and with these appointments the
eligible list of male applicants is ex-
hausted. 1t is improbable that any
more men teachers will be appointed
for many years, for the waiting list
shows 6SS women and no men, and the
reduction in mems salaries has made il
difficult to get men to apply.
Two years ago mems salaries were a
third greater than they are today Be-
fore the equal pay law went into eff
feet a man teacher started at $500 and
went to $3.50 in twelve years; now
he starts at $720 and may hope to
reach 81 500 after fifteen years.
