collectively, we call it, there would
be no incentive to save. By this state
men you admit what you formerly de-
MED, that the laborer would get all he
produces, but would lose his great in
centive to save. AS the average wages
Of the worker are less than $500 Il
year, and the Pittsburg Survey esti-
! mates that the lowest income on which
a man can raise family decently Is
5000 year. it does not look to- the
casual observer. as if the workers
loss Of this great incentive. But sup
pose that the thirty million workers
could and would each save $1.00 a
week. That would be thirty million
dollars a week taken from the retail
trade Of the country, and 1t would not
be many weeks before many retail
stores would close. throwing their en-
ployes out of a job. The wholesale
houses would then close and their en-
ployes would be also out Of work. Then
the factories would close and the rail-
roads lay off men. and the greatest
panic this country has ever seen would
result. Saving is good thing for an
individual, so long as others do not
save. but If all save it would result in
disaster.
In conclusion, let me quote few
words from a speech delivered to the
students of Chicago university by an
illustrous namesake Of yours, Leslie NJ.
Shaw:
When our manufactures grow big
ger than the United States. then there
will be war, the bloodiest war in the
hi OF of r1ly ind
coming when the manufactures will
outgrow the country and men by the
hundreds will be turned out of the
factories s.. The factories are null
tiplying faster than our trade and we
will shortly have surplus with no one
abroad to buy, and with no one at home
to absorb it. because the laborer has
not been paid back enough to buy
back what he created = What will
happen then? Why, these men will be
turned out of the factories So Thou
sands of them-hundreds of thousands.
They will find themselves without
food. Then will come the great danger
to the country, for these men will be
hard to deal with"
These words were spoken only five
years ago, and today we find great
combinations almost larger than the
nation. One per cent of the people con-
troll 80 per cent of the wealth. A small
group of men in New York have the
financial resources Of the nation in
their grasp and can bring on panic
at will. as was demonstrated a few
years ago, when one of our great in
dustrial combinations absorbed its
most powerful rival under cover of
financial panic.

Bluff Lands the Most Valuable.
Glenwood. Feb. 27.-Bluff land
along the Missouri river in Mills and
adjoining counties should be the high
est priced land in the middle west, ac-
cording to Dr. Woodson Of ST. Joseph,
Mo. one of the most extensive apple
growers in the world. He says that al
lowing land in the bluffs worth $50 to
500 per acre to remain in timber or
blue grass, or even in corn, is about
as profitable as running chicken
ranch on city lots worth $4,000 front
foot. Comparing 5000 acres of apple
trees we'll cared for, he says, that 5000
acres of corn would probably give a
gross return of $4,000 and employ
100 men, while 5000 acres of apple
trees well cared for yield return of
$4,000, 900 and give employment to sew
eral hundred men, of various voca-
|tions.

best that there is at the lowest price that can be made. You've got
to give me something better than you give TO anyone else"
Every one of these buyers is fighting for yOu and it is up to
you to show your loyalty to them.
The store that advertses TO trick its customers is almost q
relic in this present day.
Many a time you find a bargain that turns out better than the
advertisement claimed it to be, and you think somebody, some
where, has made a mistake. But there was no mistake. 1t was put
there purp0sey to win your confidence.
Every ounce of human ingenuity is brought to bear upon the
advertising of this present day. To write the real story of a single
item would be to write a chapter in the History of Commerce.
These merchants who have figured on costs till their eyes gave
out; these buyers who have studied every angle of their work, are
trying to tell you through their advertising just what they have done
for you. And the least you can do is to read what they have to say.
The report of all their efforts is in this paper today. The adj
vertising news to you should be interesting news after this.

TRIES TO STAY
IN DEATH CELL
Father chokes Daughter Just
sBefore He Begins March to
Gallows-Beaten Into Un-
consciousness to Save Girl.

WASHINGTON, June 11.zWith
only a few hours to live, Jan Riba-
rik, condemned to die on the gallows
today, attempted to add another to
the list of his victims by trying to
strange his daughter when she APP
peared at his cell to- bid him good
bye.
Antonio Ribarik was a witness
against her father at the trial, and,
1t Is said, her testimony was most
damaging to her fathers case. Riba-
rik had Threatened to Kill her before
he was hanged, but a week ago they
apparently became reconciled.
This morning she called to see her
father, and as she stepped forward to
kiss him he grasped her by the throat
with both hands and was strangling
her when guards beat him uncon-
scious with an iron bar. Later he
was led to the gallows and hanged
without expression of regre. for his
crimes or his assault upon his daugh-
ter.
Ribarik was executed for the muir
der of Mr.. and Mrs. Novak and
Stephen Stanvoji, a boarder, during
a quarrel caused by the Novaks shell
tering Antonio Ribarik when her
father turned her out of his home.

element and obtaining money under
false pretenses and the other charging
misdemeanor, found in September, 1906,
against Rudolph Il. Kuser, formerly OF
his city, were ordered nolle pressed to-
day by Judge Harry V. Osborne In
Quarter Sessions Court.
The two cases were down for trial to-
day. but Second Assistant Prosecutor
Andrew Van Blarcom explained there
was not enough evidence to warrant a
conviction. He moved that the indict-
ments be quashed.
This action followed a long series
of conferences between Mr.. Van Bar
com, Judge Osborne and Louis Hood,
counsel for Kuser. 1t was not until
after the noon hour hat a decision
was reached.
The misdemeanor Indictment
charged Kuser with having ON Sep
TENDER A, 1906. sold three rugs, which.
under a mortgage, were the property
of the Scheerer & Grown Co, for 800,
while the second Indictment charged
him with passing a forged check for
sos on Samuel Won Poznak. an auc-
tioneer of this city. Kuser was ar
rested at the time, but disappeared
before he was indicted by the grand
jury.

president of the Board of Works, to
members of the Clinton Hill I'm
provement Society last night. The

cost of $13,0 00, 900 it would not get any

ing the city indebtedness now to be
about 500, 200, 000.
A committee recommended that tho

GENERAL STRIKE
MAY TIE Up CITY

to wait upon officials. At the Stand
ard plant all departments Joined the
strikers.
William A. Conner, vice-president
of the local Gable plant, which has
branches in Pittsburg and Oakland,
Cal. stated that he received a
mailed communication Saturday in
which several hundred employees de-
manded Is per cen increase beginning
yesterday Because the main offices
of the company are located in Pitts
burg, Conner stated in bulletins is
sued that he could not grant the de-
mands until he was notified to do SO.
But he signifed his willingness to
meet a committee of arbitration. The
strikers met at Columbus Hall, but
failed to name a committee.
The local officials finally decided to
close the local plant indefinitely.
Over a thousand men, boys and girls
are out of work as a result.
At the Maurer plant last eve
ming there was no disorder. The po-
lice force is crippled in the heart of
the city, due to the number of patrol
men required to prevent outbreaks at
the affected plants.
The strike leaders declared last
night that today the strike would
spread.
Already nine hundred are out at
Raritan Copper Works, and the three
plants of the National Fire Roofing
Company report that 1000 have Joined
the strike. Similar conditions existed
at the three latter plants foul years
ago, when foul companies of the Ma
tional Guards camped in this city
three weeks. At that time the la
borers and owners finally compro-
missed.
At IL o'clock last night when the
shifts at the American Smelling and
Refining Company plant were changed
John Bennett, an employee, who tried
to enter the yards, was attacked by
strikers. He was hit by a stone, and
was taken home after a physician
had attended him.
The strikers have picketed the place
and groups are guarding the liver
front to prevent the company from
landing strikebreakers.
The police ordered every available
officer on duty at Z o'clock a. m. to-
day. when the shift at the smelling
plant changed.
