Work of Trusts.

In the city of Lawrence. Mass.
where the highly protected woolen
mills hold forth where boys and girls
work tor 81, So and $4 week, and
fathers and mothers work long hours
for So, Sc and 81 week for full time,
AZ out of every 100 deaths are those of
children under the age of years. And
of these AZ children, 80 under l year
of age! The doctors declare the big
majority of these children perish be-
cause their mothers labor such long
hours, under such unsanitary condi-
tions in the woolens mills.
But mark the percentage of child
death in Lawrence particularly: forty
seven out OF every 100 persons that
die in Lawrence are children under 5
years of age. Now compare this with
Seattle. Wash, There, out of every
100 persons who die, but 19 are chill
dren under 5 years of age.
The average Of the whole country is
q children under 5 years of age in
stead of AZ as in Lawrence, and for
the whole country l9 out of every 100
deaths are of children under l year of
age, instead of 35 as. in Lawrence.
In Fall River, Mass, where the
woolan trusts. .also operates, so out of
every 100 persons that die. aye chill
dren under years. At New Bed
ford, Mass. another woOlen mill town.
46 out of fsevery 100 persons that Edie,
are under years, and the great ma
! jority Of the 49 are babies.
The people who work in the woolen
mills are protected. That is the
muIti-millioriar wooden trust magnates
wko cume to Washington for exces..
slye protection, say that the sole rea-
son they desire tariff rates which gives
them a monopoly on American mar
kets and permit them to charge double
the value on woolen clothing, is that
they are protecting" their employees
In addition to making this plea. the
trust magnates, of course, make liberal
contributions of money to the cam
paign funds of the party of protec-
tion. The result is such bills as Sche-
dule K of the Payne-Aldrlch law.
Here is a plain question for the
American people to ask themselves !:
Why should they longer permit COM
parative handful. of 4 millionaires to
force them to pay exorbitan. prices
for every article of woolen clothing
they wear, on the pretext of those rich
men that they are protecting" their
employees, when these employees are
not onlv being protected hut are be-
ing paid such low wages tLat Trey ale

A great deal of money :is needed fcr

but il is clean money when it comes

persons interested in the triumph of a

dirty money when ii comes from an in

Dissolution.

The trusts have found out that moth

Following a decree Of the Supreme
Court ordering the Standard Oil trust
to dissolve, the value Of that nonor
oly's stock went skyward. The court
decree, without changing the trust in
any way, except in the matter of ad-
ministratiou, amounted practically to
government guarantee to violate the
laws. after the decree was issued the
trust managers discovered that he mon
opoly stood in no further danger Of
government prosecution, and as this
danger has always been the chief men
ace of the trust, it was great boon
to have it removed. Accordingly the
value of the trust shares rose rapidly.
AS result. other trusts have begun
to "dissolve." The beef trust has an

it. too, may conform to the Supreme
Court definition of lawabiding.trust.

WOMAN SELECTS
THE MOTOR CARS
Local Hudson Dealer Says the
Ladies Are the Real Buyers
of Automobiles.

That the woman of the family decides
the purchase of three out of every four
automobiles sold in this city was the
statement made by J. w. Goldsmith, Jr.,
the Hudson dealer, today.
THE history of three out of four of
our sales is about as follows" said Mr..
Goldsmith The man in the household
narrows down the choice to two or three
automobiles, which he believes to be me-
chemically right. Almost invariably, at
this point the woman of the household
is brought into the prospective purchase,
by reason Of her good judgment relative
Venience.
Women like beauty in connection with
a car, and more thoroughly appreciate
that beauty when it is achieved In a sim.
pie manner. This is one of the points
for which the Hudson has considerable
is worthy Of the attention they have
attracted.
'The long, beautiful, harmonious lines
of the new Hudson 81 have aroused such
enthusiasm on the part of women that, in
a number OF instances, the Hudson S
beauty has been the deciding factor in
the purchase.
Another point that is particularly at
tractive to women is the easy riding quail
! tiles of the car, and in this connection the
l2-inch Turkish type upholstery of the
Hudson has decided purchases in this
cars favor.
thousands of women are driving
Hudsons in all sections of the United
States because of the extraordinary re-
sponsiveness of the car.
"A WOmans judgment in selecting an
automobile-one that she will be proud
to ride in--is usually sound, and l feel
| that the male head of the house is wont
| to take her advice"

ENGLAND'S ROADS

FORD MOTOR MAN

Nowhere are there roads better than on
the British Isles, according to p. L. u.
Perry, manager of the Manchester fac
tory of the Ford Motor Company who has
been spending few weeks at the Detroit
factory,
THE good roads Of England and Scot
land are famed the world over declared
Mr.. Perry. In Ireland the roads are not
90 good, but there they are better than
those in the United States
Through long and persistent work the
unexcelled roads on the isles have been
lad. Each separate community is re-
sponsible for Its own roads and each
takes pride in their condition.
"A recent help 10 good road main
tenance is the spending of the entire eu-
tomobile tax on the roads The taxes on
the cars are high, too. II costs the owner
of a Ford $50 per year. There also is a
tax Of .06 per gallon on gasoline. with
the money collected from these taxes and
some additional appropriations there never
is a deficiency in the road Improvement
treasury.
The tax is levied on the theory that
automobiles are the hardest on the roads
and therefore should pay the most toward
their upkeep.
