BUSINESS MEN WELCOME
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
ADVERTISEMENT.

Although the prospects for a COM
plete Democratic success in Noven-
Der are becoming brighter each day,
1t is observable that the business
men of the country are not in the
least alarmed. The conduct of the
Democratic House of Representatives
under the sane and progressive lead
ership of Speaker Champ Clark and
Floor Leader Oscar Underwood is an
assurance that the legitimate bust
ness interests of the country have
nothing to fear through Democratic
aScendency. No one outside of a lu-
matte asylum would want to injure
any legitimate business by a hairs
breadth. Amy measure that tends to
build up an American industry with
out infringing upon the rights of the
consumer is approved by Democrats
IN Congress and those who are candi-
dates for Congress. For the first
time in a, score of years the business
interests are not raising the pre-elec-
ton bugabOo about Democratic sue
, cess meaning business ruin.

HOW DISSOLUTION" HELPS.

/. Standard Oil and tobacco trust
stocks have increased greatly in val
ue since the recent dissolution" de-
ciSiolS of the United States Supreme
court.
Dissolution under the Supreme
Court decisions is worth millions Of
dollars to any trust in the lc-a.
Having enriched the oil and tobacco
trusts by 'disSolving" them, the at
torney general has started similar
proceedings against the harvester
trust, Doubtless this trust win be
duly thankful for the favor.
The Sherman law carried a puoyis-
Ion which makes it a penitentiary Of
renSe to organize an illegal trust. If
this section of the law was invoked
against George W. Perkins and the
other Wall Street millionaires who or
ganized the harvester trust, it might
be expected to have a deterrent eff
feet ON the organizing of Illegal mo-
nOpoieS.
Poor men are sent to Jail for break
ing the law, and they respect and
fear the law. AS long as trust mag
mates are merely dissolved" to the
end Of their stiA further enrichment,
how can they be expected to obey
the law?

A. o. U. W. WILL NOT RAISE ITS
RATES

The report has been prevalent IN
this community that the A. o. q. W.

said that the Grand Master has been
quoted as saying that the rate would
be adjusted at the next grand lodge.
Grand Master Graybill makes the
following statement; -The A. Q, q.
". Of Kansaa will not raise theirrate
at the next grand lodge. There is no
necessity Tor such action. We ad-
justed our rates when the grand lodge
wast theh In wichita in 1898, and
since that time they have been ade-

from suspensions and It was very diff
ficult to secure new members, az 9TH

their prospective applicants for our

a great deal cheaper and 1t would be
Just as safe.
Time has shown, however, that
their statements were incorrect, as II
hAs been proven that the cheap so
cieties were doing business at loss
and the readtustmeut in these variou'
cheap orders Is now taking place
Because the old A. o. U. w., which
has been recognized as the safest ot
all is now gathering in a good many
Of what were then known as the cheap
societies members, a great deal Of
unkind feeling Is being shown on the

White Lead Combine.

An important combination of the
manufacturers of white lead in Eng
land. Germany and the United States,
which is believed also to include the
larger manufacturers in other coun-
tries, is reported from New York. The
coalition is believed to have been
brought about by fears of reduction
in the tariff, the American manufacture
ers having conceived the idea of Great
ing an international monopoly of the
white lead industry, so they could con-
troll the price regardless of whether the
duty on the article was reduced by con-
gress.
AS nearly half the lead produced in
the world is converted into white lead
the situation is of particular interest to
the lead mine operators of the north
west. particularly in the Occur d 'Alenes
where large per cent of the lead of
the United States is mined. The fol
lowing table, compiled from authentic
statistics, shows the important part the
alleged combination of white lead man
ufacturers is certain to have in the lead
market.
United Satisfactorily 100000 tons.
Spain-Nearly 100000 tons.
Germany-Nearly 100000 tons.
Mexico-Nearly 100000 tons.
All Others-About 100000 tons.
Total World-About 100000 tons
Of the world IS lead product, the Unit
ed States produces (and consumes)
about one-third, the tariff rendering
foreign imports impossible. Germany
besides her own product, consumes
large proportion of the Spanish and
Mexican lead; while Great Britain uses
up nearly all the rest of the world Z
product not consumed locally.
If congress removed or lowered the
duty it would destroy the profit of the
American producers, without material
ly beneftting any others, except the
Mexicans, because the American pro
duction and consumption being equal

revival, would probably cease altogeth
