Progressves-irres of party
afiliations-should, in my opinion,
support Woodrow Wilson for the pres
idency, should support him fully, ac-
lively and enthusiastically; for he pos
sesses in a high degree the qualities
of an effective progressive leader.
Governor Wilson is thoroughly dem
ocratic in spirit He recognizes that
all of the people are entitled to equal
opportunities and appreciates that the
development of all of the people is
essential to the attainment of Amer
ican ideals He understands the dan
gers incident to the control by few
of our industries and finance. He sees
that true democracy and social justice
are unattainable unless this power of
the few be curbed, and our democracy
become industrial as well as political.
He can meet the demands properly
made upon a present day executive,
to be able to lead in constructive
craftsmanship as well as to administer
efficiently; for Wilson's character, in
tellectual power, and previous train
ing fit him peculiarly to take an inn
portant part in progressive legislation.
He is courageous and frank; able and
firm and always open-minded; quail
ties indispensable to safe leadership.
Progressiyes should support Wilson,
not only in order to secure his election
but in order to enable him after cleo
tion to carry out those progressive
policies which he has so much at
heart. His nomination ranks among
the most encouraging events in Amer
lean history. Under the masterful and
mastery leadership of Colonel Bryan
the ideals of American democracy
over the reactionaries and
their money bags; the will of the peo-
|ple prevailed over the devices of the
machine. The Baltimore convention
was conducted with fairness and seri-
|ousness and with a dignity worthy of
"a great cause and a great people The
democratic party has purified itself
land has been purged of its corrupt as
|sociations, as far as it is. possible to
accomplish this end by the action of
la national convention. But the trug-
gle of privilege is unending and ON
|nipresent. That struggle is as subtle
as it is determined. The struggle will
not close when Wilson is elected. We
may be sure that every effort he may
make as president to carry out the
progressive policies will meet with
stubborn resistance from the posses
|sors and apostles of privilege. With
out loyal support from the progress
sives of the county Wilson's war upon
UNJUST privilege must be futile. The
progressive cause can succeed only If
lit has loyal support from the progress
sives of the country Wilson's war up
on unjust privilege must be futile. The
progressive cause can succeed only if
it has loyal support from the progress
|sives. 1t can fail only if the progress
sives fail in their duty of giving to
Wilson that full support.-Louis d.
Brandies. in August National Monthly.

A little girl seven years old was
visiting the public library and she dis
covered case of butterflies on a
table. 1t had a glass cover, and she
could see the wings. the colors and
spots spread out in marvellous variety.
Mother. somebody ought to tell
the humane society about these. The
humane society doesn't want people
to kill things and stick pins into them.
The librarian had placed the collec-
tion where she thought it would be
appreciated. She thought it would
teach visitors something of beauty.
A dozen children who saw the col
lection made nets and went out hunt
ing for huttering wings They tried
to capture all they could see, and they
bruised and killed great number of
harmless moths and butterflies, and
even la6ybirds. They didn't learn
anything worth learning. They learn

about 1,0OO,OOO dinners are served and in the closing hours of the day some 500,000 SupperS are required. Accord ing to these figures 3,500,O00 meals every twenty -four hours are certain of a market" which is so constant as to make the demand a mathemati- cal certainty. The restaurants sup plying this demand range from the poorest lunch rooms purVeying d va rlety of dishes at from one to five cents up to lobster palaces where meal costs ten dollars The quick lunch" places and moderate priced restaurants predominate. In the for mer the average price of a meal is twenty-five cents and in the latter from twenty five cents for break fast to fifty cents for dinner. Group ing all sorts of restaurants together the average cost per meal is some thing more than half a dollar, or about $1,800,000 per day Visible evil dence abundantly bears out the con- tention that the restaurant business is a sure thing. since among the moderate priced restaurants there are few failures. Eating places that are
 
 business year after year, with no inn prOVement in service or Viands. Fail ures seem to be confined to preten- tious places where large amount of capital is invested and trade sought among the wealthy The "beanery," quick lunch" and moderate priced restaurants continue to multiply and flourish with no special effort beyond keeping the front door open and, after fashion, dispelling the bangs of hunger
 To the popular pastime of putting up q front" has been added d varia- tion which for brief period engaged the earnest attention of the sleuths employed by one of the large steam ship companies to oversee the sailing of their boats. Shortly after the ar rival of boat from Bermuda at the cOmpanyS pier there appeared d flashily dressed young man who aroused suspicion by his insistence upon passing the customs lure to greet an old friend. Being finally allowed to go on board the man i'm mediately sought the steward, with whom he entered into earnest conver- sation. The Watchful detective noted that something was hurriedly handed to the steward, who then disappeared. As the sleuths were about to take action the steward appeared with two large Bermuda baggage labels, which he handed to the suspicious stranger. The latter trailed by the detectives. returned at once to the pier, and with every evidence of complete satisfac- tion. pasted the labels upon his grip It was suggested by the witnesses of the episode that he had to make good" as having been to Bermuda when for reasons unknown he had not actually made the trip. and took the unique method of appearing to have done so.

The next big labor trouble in Great Britain is expected from the shipyard workers. The federation of shipyard employers has recently refused the demands of the men for an eight hour day and increased wages and the unions have replied by calling for ballot of the employees as to whether they shall order a strike. A decision in favor of a strike would immediately affect 500,000 men and as the strike progressed another 500,000.
 For months past the men in the various unions have been preparing for d fight with the employers on the hours question, and the boiler makers have been pressing their de- n1and for higher wages and permis sion to organize apprenticeships. The result of the ballot is considered foregOne conclusion and a long and bitter fight is anticipated.

A rather unusual warning is now being sounded here in the form of d protest against aduterated silks Adulterated foods have of course been known for many years, but few per sons have realized the extent to which the adulteratiOn of our silk goods has been carried Local dealers assert that the industry is seriously threat ened by the present lack of legisla- tive measures to compel aduIterated silk to be labeled and sold as such. Undoubtedly all women will agree with the point of view of one of the citys largest manufacturers. The most serious part of the whole mat ter, he states, is not the actual adul- iteration of the silk. but the selling of it to the average consumer as d pure silk fabric. AdulteratiOn will probably go on indefinitely There always has been ana probably always will be q class of consumers to whom the low price at which weighted silks can be sold is attractive, and in many cases necessary. But l maintain that the manufacturer whose pure dye product has to compete in price with
 
 benefit of legislation requiring both the manufacturer of the latter goods and the retailer to sell them as such The adulteration referred to is ac- complished by soaking the fabric in a solution containing tin or lead. These metals are absorbed by the cloth, thus greatly increasing it's weight.
 That the visitor in New York seek ing the freely offered sure thing might profitably inquire into the city's restaurant business seems to be borne out by recently published statistics which show that at present but 1000 restaurants share the enormous sum of 650,000,000 spent for meals each year. an average for each place of about $92,857. The investment repre- sented by the 1000 restaurants is | s250, 900, 900. Sometime between twelve and three each working day lunch is ] served to 100000 persons.

SUBTERRANEAN
 MOVING WALK
New York Will Soon Have a Novel Means of Trans portation. Will Handle a Million Passengers a Day With Ease.

NEW YORK; July IA new form of transit, not attempted hitherto in any part of the world, is to be in . troduced in New York as soon as the actual work of construction can be completed. This was made certain
 by the action of the public service commission this week authorizing the
 building of an underground moving
 sidewalk to extend across Manhattan underneath Thirty fourth street, which has become so congested at the important crossings as to make the progress of pedestrians difficult and at certain hours of the day all most impossible. The new system,
 which is to have it's first practical use here, consists of series of con-
 tinuOus platforms placed side by side but moving at different rates of speed
 which are so graduated that passen-
 gers can pass from one platform to another without inconvenience. Seats
 will be provided for those who wish
 to use them, but it is expected that
 the new transportation line will be used very largely by persons who are going only block or two and who will prefer to stand. It is claimed that for short distances this is the most rapid system of transpor- tltiOn possible to devise, as the ve- hicle itself never stops while passen-
 gers may get on or alight at any point. It is said that the new road will be able to handle million pas sengers a day. New York already possesses a greater variety of trans
 portation methods than any other city in the world, ranging from the old fashioned horse car to monorail
 railways and moving stairways and
 the addition of this unique system will add one more to the many met ropoltan ways of overcoming dist ance.

How profitable the business of act
 ing as receiver for big corporations
 has become was strikingIy illustrated
 this week when the courts finally
 wound up the affairs of a building and loan association that went into
 bankruptcy ten years ago. The com
 pany had a great number of small
 stockholders Many of these have
 died or have been lost sight of in
 the long period that has elapsed since
 the crash of the company Those
 who have survived the successive de-
 lays, however. will receive between
 twenty and thirty cents on each dol
 lar of their investment. the total
 amount left to them out of $2,500. 900
 being about $500. .00O On the other
 hand, the receivers and attorneys who
 have devoted their attention more or
 less internationally to closing up the
 business of the defunct company are drawing over $40O,000 for their ser vices and expenses. The 12.000 in Vestors in the company. most of whom were clerks, teachers and others of small means, put an average of about S200 each into the company. Of this more than half was dissipated by mismanagement, while of the remain der the stockholders will receive be-
 tween $40 and $50 out of their orig inal investment. while the receivers and their attorneys will take $32 While this is a particularly fragrant case and has aroused much attention on account of the size of the fees allowed there has been many others l in which the stockholders have fared even worse. Under the system pre- vailing the receivers are appointed by the judges and Tammany politi- clans or lawyers identified with poli- | tics usually come in for the big plums. A movement has been started for doing away with this abuse and | it is receiving the support of the bet ter element of the bar and of the en- | tire business community.
