JOHN LOWELL JR.
 NOBLE CHARACTER
Tribute to Him by Bishop J. w.
 Atwood.

Mention was made by The Repub- lican lately of the death of John Lowell. Jr, who was for some time connected with the Evans school near Mesa.
 The following tribute to him by Bishop Atwood Lately appeared in the Boston Transcript:
 Today there was laid to it's rest in Forest Hill all that remained nor tai of one whose brave, chivalric, tender and undaunted character drew to him in warm affection and appre citation the hearts of many.
 The roots of John Lowell's family tree reach far down into the soil of this ancient commonwealth. Here for twenty years and more he lived. He was loyal to the traditions of his family. which has always stood for the service of God, the state and of mankind Endowed with manly force and beauty, with winning qualities of mind and heart. career in his native city would have seemed his natural destiny. A deep love of the west. where in the school at Mesa he had lived and studied for a brief season drew him after his gradua- ton at Harvard to Arizona He felt all the fascination of life in a new
 country. with all of it's problems and it's splendid promise. In spite of some limitations of health. for the four years that he lived there, he entered into the spirit of the land. He was democratic in thought and in action. He loved and understood the pioneer people coming from every part of this vast land ad even beyond its bOun- diaries. the builders of a new com
 monwealth He dreamed and planned for the service he might render the state
 There was certain tenacity of opinion and purpose which sometimes may have blinded his judgment. but never his sense of justice. He lived close to the heart of nature and he cared for all things that were pure and noble He loved the church, and there his simple, sincere and child like religious nature found it's eX- pression This desire to serve God and his church was a strong and real part of his inmost life.

PHYSICIANS PREJUDICED

Notwithstanding the fact that a very large percentage of doctors pre- scriptions call for proprietary medi- cines, because they can find nothing better, they are naturally prejudiced against the direct sale of these fam fly remedies because it decreases their incomes.
 However this may be the general public is benefited by the use of such standard medicines as Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, as is proven by the thousands of grate- ful letters on file at the Pinkham Laboratories, at Lynn, Mass, from women all over the United States who have been helped by it, and il is prescribed by those honest physi- clans who are broad enough to over look prejudice and recognize true merit.

With the cost of living steadily advancing many local investigators are worrying themselves gray vanly attempting to discover some effective way of halting the upward trend of prices of fOOdstuffS. At present an interesting angle of the problem is found in the discussion of the part played by the trusts and the tariff and of the relations of these two to each other. which in some cases at least are not those ordinarily as stunned to exist This seems to be plainly indicated by the trust atti- tude on the proposal to remove the tariff on our largest food import. that is, raw sugar. The sugar trust is on record as being in favor of this move because of it's restrictive effect on the cane and sugar beet indus tries in this city. which now menaces the refiners' monopoly. While the refiners are willing to promise cheap CT sugar to the public in the effort to accomplish their aim. the best posted authorities here believe that in this particular case it would have exactly the opposite effect They compare the situation with that which has grown up in the case of coffee. on which no duty is levied, and show that in the case of this product the coffee trust has grown all powerful and the price to the consumer instead of going down has doubled. Such an authority as Ches- ter S. Mercy. president of big west ern beet sugar plant, said of this point here recently: Free sugar would kill the beet industry in this country. The refiners say, and I be-
 lieve they have induced many honest members of congress to believe, that free sugar would mean cheaper sugar to consumers. Nothing is further from the truth. We put coffee on the free list. What good did it do? The importers absolutely control the coffee situation and the price has steadily gone up. The same would be true of sugar. On the other hand
 if the beet sugar industry is per mitted to grow up, competition will take care of prices" Thus another kinI is added to the high cost of living. which already is one of the knottiest in our history.
 For the fIrSt tune on record visitors to New York Zoo will shortly have an opportunity to inspect what is probably the rarest animal that has ever been made a part of any such collection-that is, the pigmy hippo potamus. These pocket additions of 9he blood sweating behemoth' were discovered in 1884 in Africa, and it has taken nearly seventy years to secure these first live specimens, all
 though a few mounted bodies have been shown. since their habitat so far as known is confined to remote territory peoped by blood thirsty cannibals.

BANANA WAR
 IN NEW YORK
Millions Involved in the Struggle for the Vast Fruit Trade-Knotty Le- gal Problem Involved in the Contention.

NEW YORK, July 21.-As a war center New York is fast setting q new record and to the many wars and rumors of wars that have been rife in the industrial world here for the past few months must now he added the battle of the bananas. Traffic in the humble fruit of the tropics is the mainstay of the push cart merchant and has become so tremendous that it's handling has led to the creation of a huge corporation sometimes referred to as the ban
 ana trust" The fact that this com pany, according to statements brought out by legal proceedings here this week, has expended S25,O00,O00 in the past few months in the effort to drive out an independent competition that has been attempting to secure share of the business shows the tre- mendous size of the stake involved. Another effect of the struggle appar
 ently has been to bring increased prosperity to the South American growers, as it is stated that the price paid them has been jumped from thirty y-one to siXty-s six cents a bunch The matter was brought into court here through the attempt of the United Fruit company, which here tofore has dominated the business
 to secure an injunction forbidding its rival, the Atlantic Fruit company, to purchase bananas from growers in Colombia who. the older concern claimed, were under exclusive con- tract to it. The problem was a knotty one. involving not only an interna
 tional matter, but also a question as to the laws of a foreign nation, and the judge denied the application on the grounds that there were decided differences of opinion as to the laws of Colombia and that the issuance of the injunction would inflict serious loss on the defendant. This" he said, 'is sufficient to induce a de nial of the application without con- sideration of the further arguments of defendants, that complainant $ methods of business have been such that it should not be afforded the assistance of a court of equity" The war is still on therefore. and the president of the independent company declares that while he is not seeking trouble he will not be driven out of the field and that the people of South 1 and Central America are with him for | having broken the oppressive monop- l oly of the banana trust.

New York is apparently in the midst of one/iof the most general and widespread gambling orgies that it has known in recent years. For some unexplained reason the gambling fever seems to become especially ViO-
 lent every two or three years here, and the present situation is par ticularly notable illustration of this condition of affairs. By some the activity of the followers of the tickle goddess of chance is attributed to the calling in to police headquarters from the various precinct stations of the charts or maps indicating the To- cation of suspected gambling houses. since without these charts the police are handicapped in their efforts to suppress gambling.
