will be an unusually heavy demand
for the books, and It will therefore
be well for those desiring copies to

today, "that prominent Democrats
will get together in the towns and
cities and club their orders, 30 that
we may ship as many 40 possible to
one address and thus conduct the
mailing department at the least pos
sible expense"
As Mr.. Lloyd's committee IL en-.

wholly on funds subscribed by the
people, every endeavor is being made
to keep down expenses. The Congress.
slonal Committee is short Of funds,
and contributions. however small,
will be useful. Checks should be
sent to Chairman Lloyd.
Stanley Deserves Credit
Congressman A. o. Stanley OF Ken.
tucky. chairman of the committee of
the House Of representatives which
investigated the Steel Trust, deserv.
es great credit for the systematic and
highly capable manner In which he
conducted the inquiry.
The cost of the entire investiga.
tion was but $4,000. This amount is
in striking contrast to the cost of
some of the investigations under the
Republicans, notably that Of the i'm
migration question at an expense to
the people of more than 100000.
Mr. Stanley saw to It there were no
personal excursions or junkets with
the money appropriated for the probe
of the steel corporation. He was
willing to spend money for the probe
Of the steel corporation. He was
willing to spend money for all neces.
sary expenses. but was careful that
not dollar was squandered.
II will be recalled that the investi.
gators Of the immigration question
spent their appropriations like water,
touring Europe in the most luxurious
style. visiting at government expense,
all the prominent places Of interest.
even journeying to the pyramids In
Egypt.
Mr.. Stanley's name will 90 down in
history along with the masterful re.
port Of his committee, and he and
the members of the committee who
co-operated with him. deserve well in
the estimation Of the American peo-
pie for work well done.
Per Capita Wealth
Sixty years ago the per capita
wealth in the United States was 1907:
today 1t is about $1,000, an increase
of about 300 per cent. While the per
capita wealth has greatly increased.
the distribution Of 1t has been most
unequal. Sixty years ago we had few
millionaires and few paupers: today
We have too many Of both, and both
are still on The increase.

A Combination HOME
IN A SMALL FLAT

A southern woman with a small In.
come wished to live in New York,
where her son was entering upon his
business career. She wanted to avoid
a boarding house life and to have a
real home, and she thought out q
plan by which she secured her wish.
1t was not the idea itself but her
oethod Of carrying 1t out which
brought success.
She knew the high rentals charged
for apartments. She also knew sire
was a good housekeeper. Likewise
she knew several young women who

agreed to pay the same rates as at

In her house hunting the southern
woman expected to select fiat differ.

found that the modern fats arranged

uptown for business people or else
the rent was too high, say. the New

After several weeks Of house hunt.

eight rooms, one large floor OF an old
brownstone house remodeled. II was
off Fifth avenue well downtown. AS
the rent was higher than she had
counted on she realized she must util.
ize every room toward making ex-
penses, denying herself even the
pleasure Of general living room.
Therefore she equipped all the rooms
and kitchen in such a way that they
could be used as both sleeping and
sitting rooms.
The general effect Of the furnish.

sprawly chairs and q sense of ease
and comfort throughout the place.

As this apartment is not of the up

stalls. there Is space for the furniture

From the South she brought with
her few pieces of furniture and for
the rest she arranged with one of the
department stores to pay monthly for
all she needed.
AS to the dining room Quitting

small tables to themselves and any
guests they may have. So she pur-

found, also two serving tables, long

Washington, Aug. 1O-"George w.
Perkins in chair" This quotation
does not refer to Mr.. Perkins pres.
ence in the chair at the Chicago
Moosefelt convention.
The quotation is taken from the
minutes Of a meeting of the finance
committee of the steel trust held
April s, 1904 at which It was decided
that subsidiary companies of the steel
trust manufacturing half.finished ar.
ticles should sell same to competitors
Of the trust. (see page 10S Stanley
Steel report).

industry. reveals beyond successful
contradiction how George w. Perkins
came into the possession Of the colos.

to finance the Roosevelt third term
movement.
Sources OF Perkins Millions
Here IL the story of the Perkins
wealth: To start with Mr.. Perkins
made some Of his millions by capital
izing thin blue air into billions of dol.
lars of real money.
He made more millions by getting
a monopoly Of wire nail manufacture
ing plants and forcing the American
farmers to pay $500 keg for wire
nails that were sold before the organ.
ization of the trust for from $1.25 to
$3.50 keg. (see page Stanley re-
port.)
Thon he made more by forcing the
thousands of workmen in the blast
furnaces Of his steel mills to work
twelve hours a day. seven days
week, 365 days year.
As q postscript to the above infor.
nation, the following history of Mr..
Perkins may be of interest to many
at this time
Mr.. Perkins was the chief aide and
co-schemer Of J. Pierpont Morgan
while the latter was in the years be-
tween 1909 and 1911 throttling bust
