OUR PARTNERS IN TOWN BUsI-
NESS.

Ashland is a partnership. All of
us here are in business together. We
have our own individual ownership
of property, but our prosperity as
whole is very closely bound up with
each other.
If you have house to rent, goods
to sell, labor to sell, your success in
getting a good price for such services
depends wholly on the prosperity of
your neighbors. If they are doing
a good business they will pay you
good prices. and as times go the
prices paid will tend to increase from
year to year.
On the other hand, If your neigh
bors are not prosperous, they will
haggle over the last cent for your
house, your goods, your labor, and
the prices for these services will tend
to fall.
When you buy goods away from
home you work to reduce the pros
perity of your neighbors, making
them both less able and less willing
to do anything to advance your pros
perity. When you buy goods at home
you increase the prosperity of your
neighbors and they become better
able to advance your interests and
entertain kindly feeling toward you
that makes them want to do so.
1t would be interesting to trace in
detail some time the actual result of
buying goods at home that you pre-
viously bought somewhere outside
Suppose your wife orders a $25 bill
of clothing at AS dry goods store
instead of buying it on some trip to
another city. The merchant OF
course has to send a large portion
of that $25 out of town to pay the
jobber for the goods. But a large
share of the expense of any business
is in labor, rent, taxes, etc, spent at
home. 1t would not surprise us ii
$40 of that $25 stuck right at home
In some lines more than that would
do so.
This portion that remains at home
spreads out in a circle of usefulness
In this case it would pay the wages
of a clerk for a week, enable the
clerk to pay house rent for two OF
| three weeks, permit the landlord tC
pay the carpenter to put his property
in better repair, allow the carpenter
to pay interest on his mortgage al
the bank, help the bank to lend
money to mechanic to build a new
house, and so on. Think it over!

HISTORY OF A DELUsION.

Do you remember Peffer of Kan
sas? If you 40, probably you recaIl
nothing except his whiskers, which
waved hilariously in thousands of
cartoons from the moment he came
to prominence in the politics of his
state to the moment of his retire
ment from the United States senate.
Peffer at so is in a hospital at
Topeka, minus a leg to avert death
from bone infection. He submitted
to the amputation of the left leg, and
this was only another sacrifice for
the cause he holds dear-the popu-
list cause.
You see, he was in the midst of an
elaborate article, The Rise and Fah
of the Farmers Alliance" and was
bound to finish it ''if 1t takes leg, -
which it actually did.
Young citizens may be interested
to know what that wild-eyed populist
movement of twenty odd years ago
was all about. Well, they fought for
a lot of hairbrained radical ideas.
Here are some of them: Direct pri-
maries law, public utilities commits
sion, direct vote for United States
senators, prohibition of railroad re-
bates and determinations initiative
and referendum, recall of judicial
decisions.
Were those populists insane? No.
Just dreamers who talked about "the
rule of the people" They were
laughed off the face of the earth.
OF course, it was easy to answer
them. All you had to do was to
point at Peffer's whiskers! Could
you imagine anything more conclu-
sive in the way of an intellectual
clincher? Hardly. But even in his
old age Peffer clings to these delu-
sions and thinks them worth writing
about. But what can you expect OF
him? Look at his whiskers!

"CONfMON CLAY"

1t is said that number of the
richest and noblest lords and dukes
of England are annoyed at the re-
cent conspicuous publication of the
facts about their ancestors, who are
not very remote, and who were
mighty poor and humble yeomen,
mechanics and petty tradesmen.
1t does take the edge off of 'em
a bit, but it is encouraging for the
rest of us. 1t is lucky indeed that
there is only one kind of clay, and
that anything that ranks above is the
production of education, environ
ment, development.
Take two babies born today The
tenement baby has all the potentiali-
ties that are wrapped up in the baby
born in the home of wealth. They
are made of the same stuff One is
as good as the other. The trouble is
that they don't have an equal chance.
1t is the business of civilization to
see that we shall make the most of
our common clay-all of it-and
slowly, gradually, through the un-
folding years, we shall find the way
to do it.
Common clay is the material from
which we mold all shapes of beauty
and of light in the world of human
ity.

REAL CNKIND.

1t is amusing to note that the mat
ter most worrying the bankers in the
so-called money trust investigation,
is probable disclosure of the names
of stockholders and directors bor-
rowing from their own institutions
and the character of the securities
put up for such loans.
OF course. the courteous, genial,
kindly way to deal with the bankers
is to merely publish a list of the
officials after a sort of who's who"
fashion. To dig down into the use
of money of banks for uplift of bank
officers and stockholders is down
right undertaking and no wonder the
bankers squeal. What's the use in
starting bank if you cant borrow
the depositors' money without public
exposure of the securities you put
up and pass upon?

THE BLIND WHO SEE.

General William Booth, the vener-
able head of the Salvation Army, is
declared by his physicians to be
hopelessly blind. We think that they
put it wrongly. Booth is not hope
lessly blind He has but lost his
eyesight.
Blindness is the most terrible of
all mans physical afflictions, ordi-
narily, but it is not so in the case of
this man.
Booth has spent the larger part of
his lifetime and nearly ninety years
in trying to do good to others. He
has not needed eyes to see where help
was needed. Eyesight has not deter
mined how to help. Luxury, worldly
ambition, have passed by unseen by
him, for his sight was wholly spirit
ual.
In our mental musings. in our
dreams, in our best ambitions, we
have vision without the aid of eyes.
The spiritual sight is strong and
never hopeless To Booth the ma
terial things of this earth have long
been dim and to him whose existence
has been so strongly spiritual the
total eclipse of physical vision can
not mean much of change. Hope
lessly blind?" Nay, the good old
man is one of the blind who really
see!

MOTHER OF BIG MONEY.

New York state is collecting big
money by means of its Inheritance
tax and it is interesting to see how
the very great fortunes were ac-
quired, every one of them growing
out of conditions that did not exist
century ago. For instance, the big
gest fortunes were made in railroads;
the next biggest in gas, electric light
and other public utilities, and the
only manufacturers who piled up
multi-millions were those engaged in
mergers or trusts. Fortunes of mer-
chants and landlords were compara-
lively small. Joseph Pulitzers for
tune is at least $40,O0O,O0O and pos
sibly half as much again was made
in metropolitan journalism. That
was exceptional. If you had to name
the mother of these big fortunes in
a word you would say Monopoly.

The great woman suffrage parade
which took place in New York on
May will go down in history as one
of the most representative and demo-
cratic demonstrations this country
has ever known. Thousands upon
thousands of women of every class
and Observation-Disclosures,
college professors, doctors, lawyers,
authors, artists, nurses, stenogra-
pliers, dressmakers, cooks, laun-
dresses-marched shoulder to shoul-
der, united by their common cause,
with dignity and seriousness OF
purpose born of profound faith in a
great principle. At the close of the
parade mass meeting was held in
Carnegie hall, at which $4,000 was
collected. The Mems Equal Suffrage
League of New York, which formed
conspicuous part of the parade,
numbers among its members some of
the most prominent men of the state,
including politicians, lawyers, college
professors, philanthropists, clergy
men, editors and financiers. 1t has
located branches in Buffalo, Roches-
ter, Syracuse, Albany and other cit
les, and has been carrying on active
organization for the last two years.

Success does not begin and end
with the dollar mark. He is a pitt
able failure who barters away clean
conscience that he may for a while
accumulate a few dollars; for the
great and enduring success is the
keeping of good name, clear con-
science and lofty and unsullied
character amid all circumstances and
tations of commercial and political
life. There can be no enduring sue
cess without character. Success with
out 1t is but gilded bauble, which
furnishes with the coming of the
light.

Erooms fear. Fear comes quick and

Character seeks light. Guilt covers

Situation
Especial to Times-Recorder)

Baltimore, Md, June PA compro-
mise between the democratic factions
contending over the temporary chair

convention was said to have been
reached this afternoon

Parker, of New York, slated for tenn
porary chairman and opposed by Will
liam Jennings Bryan, would meet Mr.,
Bryan late today and read to him the
speech Mr.. Parker has prepared. The
speech is declared to be both pro-
gressive and aggressive. The Parker
forces believe it will meet many of
Mr.. Bryan's objections.

an shall insist upon his objections to
Mr.. Parker, the latter, having been
selected by the national committee,
will decline to serve.
Representative Henry, Of Texas, who
has been a progressive candidate for
temporary chairman, declared after a
conference with Mr.. Bryan this after

lily effected, since the national commit
tee has indicated a disposition to pre-
vent a clash on the floor of the con-
vention.

alton altogether" said Mr.. Henry, "af-
ter the appointment of a peace COM
mittee by the national committee.
