BIG BUSINESS
WITHOUT BOOM
THIS SEASONS BUMPER CROPS
WILL NOT REDUCE HIGH
COST OF LIVING BEFORE
NEXT YEAR.

Orders for stock accumulated in
Wall street Office over Sunday to
such an extent that there was a
strong opening, says Thomas c. Shot
we'll. in a New York dispatch. The
activity attracted selling orders from
professionals and a reaction of a
point was brought about in some Of
the standard issues. Around mid
day the shorts discovered that strong
interests were buying their contracts
and on attempting 10 eover they ran
the list up so that some new high
records were made for he year
Among these records were those in
United States Steel, Colorado Fuel
and Amalgamated and Bethlehem
Steel. On the curb Cigar Stores was
put to a record early in the Cay.
Much of the markets strength was
due to the plan for importing s.
5000 of gold and the cheap call
money that made this possible. IN
the last hours, after most brokers had
been supplied with money fof the day
rates s~tifened and this gave az ex-
cuse for a slight reaction in the
midst OF which the market closed.
Net changes for the day were limit
ed to fractions in practically every
issue and they were ABOUT evenly di-
vided between losses and gems.
Beef and pork advanced a cent a
pound. Coffee also moved mp. This
will give the politicians something
to rave about. The politicians do
not understand. but business men
do. that the bumper crops in the
field cannot reduce the cost of liy-
ing when the high cost is lue very
largely TO crop shortages last yesr.
Before meat ian decline much the
corn must be harvested and must
be fed to the cattle through a series
of months.
The bumper crops this year viii
not reduce the cost Of living very
materially until next year. But a
general increase in business IS in full
swing and the fact that boom
features are absent is one of its most
encouraging features.
Copper metal sold in Boston Mon
day at 1910 cents a pound. This
advance Is due TO the strike al the
Utah Mining company properties at
Bingham. Utah stock itself is
in such strong position that the
strike cannot hurt il and the cutting
down of production that this strike
means will increase profits Of
other companies. and, above all. it
will reduce the surplus. which IS al
ready near the disappearing point.
Copper is liable TO sell at 20 cents
a pound. which would be unfortu-
nate.

THE r C~aNoNIZED.

Arizona, newest OF all the states,
has set the official seal of paternalism
upon the meek and low1y burro by
%deereeing that henceforth and for
ever, while that animal is the proper
ty of a prospeetor, it shall be exempt
from taxation. Thus has come belat-
ed but no less worthy and fitting
tribute to one of the most useful,
trustworthy and long suffering
friends and companions of the west
ern pioneer. The action of the Ari-
IONA legislature may inspire in
dustrious jokesmiths to renewed eff
forts in behalf of the meek beast of
burden immortalized by Mark Twain
and Bill Nye. but what of that? 1t Is
not recorded that the burro ever took
umbrage at any ~so-called jokes coin
ed at its expense. The lawmakers of
the new state have made history.
Since the days of 1919 the burro
has been a conspicuous though un-
assuming figure in the progress and
development of the west. He has
been the guide. companion and on
idant of hunter, trapper. explorer,
argonaut and Indian fighter. He
formed a part in the caravan Of Lewis
and Clark during part of their mean
behring's from the mouth of the Mis-
souri, to the mouth Of the Columbia.
Manuel Lisa. Andrew Henry, Jim
Bridger and many others of the fur
traders We're forced to call upon the
burro when they encountered OBJ

could not prevail. He was the con-
slant companion OF Kit Carson. when

of civilization, was blazing paths for

sociates when they struck the lode
which bore that prospector's name.
and which incidentally placed Ne

The author of the Arizona Law is
not without imagination and a

should. that the burro has been, and
IS. a vital factor in the winning OF the
west. What maize was 10 Capt. John
Smith, Miles standish and their as
sociates of the jamestown and Ply

successors, the gentle burro has been

ton of the country between the Mis-
sissippi and the Pacific. and the part
he played was not i%nhnitesimal.
He has been the subject of many
odes and the model for many artists
and caricaturists. Now he has been
elevated by the laws Of a sovereign
state of the union TO the rank Of an
established entity. He and his for

COST Of LIVING
SHOWS INCREASE
FEDERAL LABOR BUREAU FINDS
FOOD PRICES SHOW MARKED
ADVANCE OVER PERIOD or
TEN YEARS.

The most marked upward trend of
the cost of living rs disclosed in the
Federal Bureau of Labor's report OF
an investigation of prices for the past
ten years conducted in the important
Industrial centers of t~hirty-two states
Fifteen most important articles of
food. as we'll as coal. comprising two
thirds of a workingman'st needs, were
investigated. In many cities the
Investigators gathered statements of
merchants on the cost of living. and
specimens of these are published in
the report.
On June Is. 1912. the report
shows. fourteen of the fifteen articles
of food were higher than a year be-
fore, and ten had advanced in the
past years more than so per cent,
over the average retail price for the
ten years period 1s90,1s99.
During the last decade prices Of
potatoes changed most and sugar
least. Their advances were 111.9
and SIS per cent. respectively.
During the last year bacon, which
decreased just one-tenth of one per
cent, was the only one of the fifteen
principal articles of food that show
ed a decline In prices, while nine of
the fifteen advanced more than 10
per cent, varying from "a per cent,
for milk to 1876 per cent, for round
steaks. OF the fifteen, only eggs, but
ter, milk and sugar were lower, but
the price of three of these four is
normally lower during summers than
during winters.
Coal also advanced considerably In
some cities. The price on April Is,
as compared with a year before. was
higher for Pennsylvania anthracite,
stove size. in twenty-five out of TWEEN
ty-nine cities from which reports
were secured. and there was nc
change of price in the remaining four
cities.
During the same period P~ennsylva.
mia anthracite. chestnut size, advane.
ed in twenty-five out of twenty-sever
cities, and bituminous advanced in
seventeen out of thirty-two cities, the
price remained unchanged in twelve
cities and declined in three cities. In
the north Atlantic states P~ennsylva,
mia white ash coal, stove size, wa.
11.3 per cent higher on April Is
1912 than a year before: P~ennsylva
mia anthracite white ash, chestnut
size, 11.9 higher. and bituminous Il
per zen higher. These were the
largest increases. while in the west.
ern states the prices were unchanged
or there was no data for anthracite
and bituminous coal was II per cen
less than April Is. 1911.

William l.. OConnell, who managed

himself to be one of the ablest politi.

Secret political assassins in his own
party were using the knife and ad.

paid no heed to them. and carried on
the battle without stirring up the
least friction or fomenting any strife.
He showed his greatness by paying no

the whisperings of skulking foes. On
the contrary. he carried the banner
of Edward f. Dunno aloft, as II no

remember and realize that Mr. Pear
3on and his associates two years ago
we're standing with the old patronage
machine and attempting 20 thwart
the will Of the people. This caused =
great sense of soberness and revul-
sion OF feeling 10 come over the Con-
vention that resulted in the defeat Of
Mr.. Pearson's revolutionary scheme.
1t has been learned since that many
of Mr.. Pearson's friends and asso-
ciates in that Convention had advised
and begged him not TO undertake
such revolutionary methods. but that
he has refused TO take their advice on
the ground that they had the dele
gates present to capture the machin-
cry OF the party at this Convention,
and that they were afraid 10 trust TO
what the people might do at the next
Convention. The spirit thus shown
by Mr.. Pearson is a spirit OF rule or
ruin. and no purpose could have act
uated such a course except a selfish
one TO use the Convention to hog the
machinery OF the party, and his pur-
pose in doing this could have been
no other than TO build up another
patronage machine. to be operated ex-
actly as the old Adams and Duncan
referee machine.
We submit to the fair, candid and
just people of the State to say which
one of these two Conventions was
actuated by a spirit of fairness and
justice, and which one of these two
were actuated by the spirit OF the
principles of the Republican party
and their success. and to express
their opinions in no uncertain terms
in the personnel of the delegates that
they send to the next Republican
State Convention.
In short, Mr.. Pearson attempted to
spit upon 1.-The rule of the people"
and to kick 1.-The square deal" around
like hound dog"

ing editorial. commenting upon the
Convention, admits as unwise and tn
Just the action OF the Convention In
turning down the report OF the Com
niittee or Credentials without hear
ing the facts. and also eongratulates
the delegates that they realized the
dangerous and Revolutionary tacticsof
certain would-be leaders in time TO
vote to repudiate the ir next scheme
to kick out the present State organi-
cation and TO hog the whole Conven
ton for selfish purposes. The fact that
this high-handed. unjust and revolu-
tionary scheme was attempted In the
name OF Roosevelt, and in fragrant
violation OF the square deal and the
rule OF the people Is also commented
upon.
The Western Carolina Enterprise,
published at Waynesville, N. c.. has
a leading editorial on the Convention
to the same effect as all the others
referred to above.
The editorials above quoted from
or referred to are all published in an
other column of The Caucasian.
1t is noticeable that every single
Republican paper that expressed any
opinion about the action of the Con-
vention has taken the same position.
1t is also noticeable that there are a
few Republican papers who have been
absolutely silent upon this most flag
rant, selfish and revolutionary scheme
If these silent papers approve the
action of Mr.. Pearson in his disrepu-
table deal with Mr.. Duncan, which
could result in nothing but harm to
the party and endanger Republican
success in this State, they have not
dared to say SO, and we predict that
they will not dare to defend such &C
ton before their readers.

4 NOTICEABLE OMISSION.

1t was noticeable at the last Re
publican State Convention that not a
single one of the Pearson and Dun
can combine had word to say in
favor of the principles for which Col.
Roosevelt is contending in this cam
paign. Every one of them took occa-
sion to denounce President Taft, but
in doing so they did not refer to any
principle for which he stands and
show that it was not in harmony with
the principles for which Colonel Roo
sevelt stands, but, on the other
hand, they simply denounced him be-
cause he had appointed certain Dem
ocrats to office. Their whole conduct
would indicate that their chief. If not
their only desire and purpose, was to
hog all the machinery of the party to
create a new patronage machine and
to get all of the Offices for their COM
bine.
The Committee on Resolutions
of the Convention was made up of
Duncanites and Pearsonites, and it
is noticeable that they failed to in
dorse in the resolutions reported in
the Convention the legalized primary
for which Colonel Roosevelt is so
vigorously contending. Neither did
they, in the resolutions nor in any
speech, denounce machine OF boss
rule, or raise their voice single time
in favor of the square deal' or the
rule of the people" In short. their
conduct in this convention is exactly
the conduct that Colonel Roosevelt
has described in every speech as be-
ing boss and machine methods. and
which he has appealed to the people
to repudiate
