HIGHER-PR1CED CLOTHING.

Yesterday it was shoes; today it is clothing; to-
morrow there is no telling what it may be. Little
wonder that the average is in doubt as to when
and where high prices are going to end The market
basket was crippled SO long ago that memory must
be refreshed to recall just when the cost of living
was normal. Fall footwear will be 20 per cent
higher, and the American Wooden company an
nounces an increase in the price of fall suitings Of
III cents to 20 cents yard. As the cloth has yet
to 60 through the hands of perhaps the iobber,
and certainly the clothing plant or the merchant
tailor it is clear that the ultimate consumer will
get the benefit Of the maximum increase .>
Further announcements are that spring prices
will be from to 20 cents yard higher than they
Tere early this year. The encouraging prophecy
added that Is Al prices Mil advance

BEEF TRUST DISSOLVES,

THE beef trust, so-called, has be-
accordance with its promise to the de-
partment Of Justice"
What effect this change is to have
on the price of meat is a. question.
Probably none at all. If the history
of Standard Oil be criterion the peo-
pie will be lucky If prices remain
where they are.
Whether the price comes down to
the consumers or not one satisfaction
In this dissolution Is that the law is
obeyed. But if the people want prices
must be sought elsewhere and there
is no better place to look for it than
in tariff reduction. The removal of
the tariff on meats so that the large
supplies of South America may come
in to supplement the supplies of this
country-which, despite their sales
abroad, packers say, are short and
growing shorter--wou1d mean lower
prices. .gs~s% = - i,
Tariff reduction would also mean a
breaking of the trust even more ef-
fectually than any Sherman law dis
solutions could break it, for competi-
ton would then be possible and COM
petition is the end and aim of that
law-real competition that gives the
people and the Independent dealer q
chance. .z.... = -. ...... w.. -..., Is -,

the-two stand which was as effectual

the-two stand which was as effectual
in blocking action.
This has been strikingly shown in
the tariff. In the Democratic at
tempts to aid the people in their
struggle to reduce the high cost OF
living by reducing the tariff, the Prog
ressive Republicans-some of whom
are now counted as with the third
party nomenclature in a few de-
tails stood with the Democrats; most
of the time they stood against them.
But the main reason why the Prog
ressive Republicans should stand with
the Democrats is because, divided as
it is, the Republican party cannot
hope to win clean and sweeping VIC
tory, such a one as Is needed, if it is
to undertake the reforms desired by
the progressives. The regular Re-
publicans will not push through an
acceptable progressive program; the
third party will be unable to do so.
The Democrats can and will do so.
If results are wanted, the Progress
i've Republicans will work this year
with the Democrats.

THE TWO PICTURES.
BY Bertha Neft.

A poet has drawn a picture;
A golden girl in the flush of youth
The world before, envelop'd in truth.
Ecstasy written upon her face,
Vigor and life in each limb--such
grace! --
Life has drawn us this picture:
a wasted girl with a careworn face,
STOPPING and bent-devoid of grace.
With feeble look Of helpless hate
For the cruel masters of her fate.
Low in the valleys dark she lies
Past dreaming of aught but the loom
she plies. ..
poets whose brains with rich fan
cies TEEN,
See how Life mocks the visions YOU
dream! -

August Belmont recently was compelled to re-
veal the fact in public hearing that he had bought
a New York street railway franchise for $272,00O
land then sold it for 81 100000.
Mr.. Belmont, testifying at Washington before a
committee of congress, stated that he contributed
100000 to the Democratic campaign fund in 1904
New York is Democratic city, Tammany dis
poses of it's public service franchises Gentlemen
who able to buy franchises for $272O0O and sell
them for ST. 100000 expected to contribute freely
ito campaign funds.
Mr.. Belmonts transaction prompts one of our
contemporaries to ask:
What political party, and what candidate. will
sdemand the enactment of laws that will punish this
sort of robbery of the people by the Morgan Bel
mont-Ryan gang Of privileged 'financiers?''
That party, and that candidate are sorely needed
IN offices and in power
There is no need at all for political party to
send Morgan or Ryan Belmont to JAIL If the
people of New York, of Milwaukee, prefer to turn
their public services over to Mr.. Belmont or Mr.
Ryan~to be exploited for private profit, they have
no occasion to complain when the privilege to fleece
them appreciates in value.
Some day, Of course, the people will quit giving
away the privilege to exploit public services and
will own and operate their public utilities. When
they arrive at that stage of enlightenment the re-
venues of such enterprising gentlemen as Mr.. Bel
mont will be curtailed and the opportunities Of
statesmen of Mr.. Murphy's type limited

WARNING OF THE TIMES.

What is the real function OF government? This
is question still unanswered. But no one would
deny, we Think that nation must not pursue
policy which shall destroy it. The very existence
of national government implies self preservation.
This is the real pith of the argument we hear in
creasingy that state has certain implied police
powers They the powers necessary to preserve
the state existence.
Recently the supreme court of California has up
held the 8-hour law for women. The law at
tackled the familiar ground that it impaired the
Freedom of contract and that it special because
lit did not include all work done by women. The
court held the constitutional guarantee subject to
restrictions under the police power of the state.
.Further the court justified the law on the ground
;of the physical differences between and women
land the good to the public health from protecting
{Women.
In other words the real question that faced the
state whether it compelled to disregard the
welfare Of it's women, and therefore the health and
the existence of the next generation because
of constitutional guarantee never intended to
apply to any such There be only one
final answer to such question, however it may have
sbeen answered by many courts in other fashion.
:That is that government be supposed to
;stultfy itself by deliberately inviting it's own de-
;struction If the constitution means such thing,
;then it is time were finding it out and changing
}the constitution If the lovers of the constitution
care enough about it not to read into it,
then it will still serve U.S.
Meanwhile, what of the act of California, of
Washington, and of other states? Does it not mean
that already the future is being threatened by the
industrial organization of today? Usually the ex-
IRENE thing that the law allows is not the desirable
thing. If this is so in case of laws limiting the
hours Of women s labor, it must that the entry
of woman into industrial life has gone too far that
need to discourage it, in the interest of the
family of the states need of families and of mothers
in the home Laws necessary for protection, but
society is not in healthy condition when it finds
itself continually running into those laws, instead
of their being necessary only as the exception and
not the rule.
We need to ponder these things What we want
is a coming generation that shall need less care
than this and not more that shall have more healthy,
normal children For our real success as a nation
will depend the birth Of strong and healthy
schildren and not ability to aid the abnormal.

STATE RAILROAD "A FROST?

4 PARAGRAPH is going =. the

railway Of France "state-owned" is

secretary of the Railway Nationiza-

The Wesern Railway Of France
was built for strategic rather than for
commercial purposes. The capital
for its construction was only raised
by the state giving q guarantee to
meet the interest. This guarantee had
to be met for many years until at
last the French government, finding
that they were paying the whole in
terest on the capital for the whole Of
the Euara ntee, thought they might as

DON'T FORGET YOUR DREAMS,

All Of us, at some time have our day dreams
When we are young, life gtters before us like
an endless pageant Of beauty created and gilded by
our child-mind dreams and aspirations

castles in the air fade approach like mirage in
the DESERT leaving life waste of barren and sterile
sands. s-.,- -.
1t is not our own fault that our early dreams are
permitted to perish; and undoing.
Dreams are ideals; and the soul without ideals
withers and dies. The secret of youth and enthus-
iasm in the grown man lies in his loyalty to his
dreams When the dreams are ended the virile life
is DONE .-a:.# ~
This is the difference between the great and the
little souls Of earth-the little soul, disappointed
