There is plenty of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
icise, was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior of
the car. One advertised a new kind
Of collar for men. The dome Of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars. and on the sem
ate and house wings of the build
ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
OF the capitol read, Quarter size."
and that on the other end said, Two
for a quarter"

The speaker was R. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-

says the New York Tribune:
I'VE scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hussler went.
"Hussler was the proprietor of a
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo-

wedding one day, a wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop assisted by dean and a

ARGUMENTS ON COAL RATES IN

Final arguments in the railroad
coal rate case-in which Attorney
Omar Garwood is asking that the
state railway commission order a
reduction in the rates from the
northern coal fields to Denver

than 600 typewriter pages.

MIR. Hall, for three reasons. The
foremost is that 10 cents per ton
reduction, If made effective. would
never accrue to the benefit of the
coal consumer. but would be alb
sorbed by the coal dealers in Denver
and add to their profits.
The second reason is that we do
not believe the present rates are
eXorbitant-as they are the same
that have been in effect for at least
eighteen years. when coal has sold
In Denver all the way from $3.50 to
