BUILDING ALL THE TIME.

- HARACTER is not made in a
~ day. It is built up by ones
daily life. changing from day to day.
IT evil is allowed to control for a
while, it leaves it's indelible impress
sion. Good motives in control
strengthen the good. .
There is no act or word or thought
but leaves its mark on the soul
Character is said to be what you are
IN the dark" It is also in evidence
in daylight, in association with other
persons. One may think that evil in
the heart is hidden by fair words and
an assumed manner. But in some
unguarded moment it is sure to be-
tray itself. s.
The world sees through the screen
that men think to hide behind. The
real SELF is sure to be known. And
like evil, good will shine through all
mans acts. He may think it un-
appreciated. but its power is felt
and It's Influence far reaching. No
one Is without faults; no one but
makes mistakes. but mistakes may be
the steps Of a ladder on which one
climbs to higher planes. -55
Am growing stronger and better
Is a question that we should ask our
selves. Character is not complete
while life lasts. Day by day into old
age one can keep on growing. HIT

THE SAME OLD ANSWER.

Is the middleman doomed? The same old question
is again going the rounds. The old answer will
be made.
Again there have been high-brow talks on reducing
the cost of living, increasing human efficiency and so
dorth-all by men who do not have to worry when
eggs take jump wonder when they are going to
taste luscious steak again. Most of the talk is by
those VINO have to look no further than the public pay

Wonder If limelight should not substitute that word
candle?
There are many for high prices-as every
investigation proves At the bottom lies human
nature But between the bottom and the superficial
excuses there accretions that should be removed
r. Among those accretons the middlemen and the
whole overburdened scheme of distributions as empha
sized by the Chicago conference It is fact that too
much OF the produce of the world is over-handled-
hauled back and forth and back again in its raw or
partially Or wholly manufactured state. Nh Sometimes

A MORALS COURT.

If there is thing sadder than all the others in
our social organization of today it is the standard
society which condemns woman who has
made one mistake committed crime, to lifetime
OF hopelessness and often of shame This condemna-
ton falls most often and most grevously on the
who has gone wrong Generally it ia a young woman
who finds after lapse that she has door
of hope There is something almost barbarous in the
way such woman is condemned to life of joyless
toll or more often to life of shame. Therefore the
morals court recently opened in Chicago to be well
coined attempt to show mercy with justice, to
build up instead of destroy to to society useful
members who must ordinarily despair. The greatest
object Of this morals court is prevention. The men
and women who brought before it will be given
lions will cooperate, with the object finding
for those who have erred Of keeping eye their
future progress and giving helping hand.
There is no more than justice in this. Our justice
in these has all too often been one-sded.
always been possible to punish offender, but too
rarely the victimzer Too often the seducer
free. With all the information that have on
the peris which surround young girls especially in
great Cities of the temptations of the struggle for
mere livelihood of the gamor of the easier way, we
are coming to another way of thinking Society is
docking more sternly the who make the lives
of girls SO hard It is ready to look gently
the first offender.
Is there any way in which humanity may be more
greatly shown than in extending another chance
whether it to the convict after his sentence or
to the woman who has erred? There is no danger
that such course will encourage crime The penalty
will still be heavy enough Chicago with its morals
court will not wipe away the grief and shame of SIM
but it will take step the thought of Him who
said many ago that Christianity has been so
long in learning: Neither do condemn thee 60 and
sin no more

and other vegetables, hauled from the place Of
production to central distributing point and then
shipped back again consumption Grain is shipped
long distances. ground and sent right back again as
four cattle and hogs shipped alive sent back
meat.
Then there is the extravaganza of the people them
selves Far too many of them prefer the steam heated
fiat and to out after the material for each meal
they needed. rather than buy in quantity and
save of the several profits that go to make
the difference between producer and consumer.
These are among the of high prices These
causes talked of at every wordfest attended by
college professors and government officials The ques
ton is, how to remedy the matter. That's what is
needed-remedy. There has been enough of repeti-
tons and reiterations and oratory.

SHOULD STAND ALONE.

TT DOESN'T speak we'll for Ameri-
- can business men when they de-
clare after they have built up huge
private fortunes from protected in
dustries. and established a. growing
export trade, and secured a monop-
oily or near monopoly OF their home
markets in their lines, that they can
not exist without that government
support.
Yet that is what the tariff bena-
ficiaries are doing. They are telling
ittelltng 1t from: the sanctuary of
their eunptuous offices-that the
taking away from them Of the
amount Of protection they are re-
ceivlng from the government will
ruin their industries. Are they that
dependent? Do they mean to say
that American genius, Initiative, force
and skill go for nothing, but that all
American success rests upon that
small tax? Certainly not a very
proud or manly plea!
Then they fail to explain why it
Is that they can successfully COM
pete with the countries of the world
in the non-American markets-as the
growing export trade shows they are
doing-but cannot compete with
those same countries of the world on
this continent. OF course there are
many ins and outs Of trade and
money making most Of which are
not mentioned in their arguments.
Then again it is queer how this
tariff business works out. For in
stance, if the retention of duty on
wheat will not aid the farmer, how
is the retention of duty on flour to
aid the miller? If free wheat will
not hurt the farmer, how will free
flour hurt the miller? If taking off
the tariff on any article will not help
prices downward why is the bene-
ficiary so afraid to have the duty
taken off his high priced products?
There are some things in the spec
ial privilege arguments that need
calculation. It might be we'll for
them to develop some team work.
The hand of greed, dependence and
standpatism is showing q bit too
strongly.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS T"
ON CURRENT EVENTS
A CONSUMERS BILL.

THE ADMINISTRATORS tariff bill is
l. distintively a consumers meas
ure. It is drawn to fulfill the plat
form promises Of the Democrats. with
the purpose of giving the consum-
er his long sought chance. So. far
as details obtainable at this distance
from Washington go, the bill is seen
to be not a local measure, or COM
p1lation of local measures; it ia not
an industrial measure aimed to give
special benefits to selected interests
in the hope that they will permit
the benefits to filter through to the
people, but it is drawn to benefit as
directly as possible the great con-
Stunning masses.
OF course there is objection to this
measure. Every local district, every
SPECIAL privilege that has been re-
celVlng government support is against
the taking away of that support.
Following the old time Republican
tactics they are playing their own
interests against. the benefit to the
mass of the people. That is to be
expected.
o~< eAc O41ls IL ~ OGCOu16S lu6 law
as it is written or is not very ma
terially amended, will tend to re-
duce the cost Of living by taking
away excessive profits, by permitting
healthy competition. by forcing
prices to a. merit basis rather than
letting them remain on basis that
permits Of manipulation or control.
In the end the reduction should
benefit the industries now crying
that they are afraid they are to be
hurt. Lower prices and fcomphti-
ton, chance for wider markets and
a freer distribution of trade, will re-
suit in increased buying.
Prices so high as to be restrictive
have never been trade stimulants.
But prices so low as to encourage
buying have always made for bet
ter business. The department stores
with their special price offerings
have proved that.
Ethically this tariff reduction
should make for more character,
more independence in business.
better chance for everyone. Prac-
tically it should prove a benefit to
all the people.

HITS BIG TRUSTS.

If congress accepts the suggestions Of the president
and the ways and means committee, that is of the
Democratic members thereof, big trusts are
going to be hit
It has been decided to readjust the tariff that
the protection given the beef STEEL lumber harvester
sugar, wool and cotton trusts will be taken away
reduced to strip them of their inflated profits That
will go far to break up their power of monopoly
This reduction of duty the products of the trusts
or the taking away of all duty, will prevent those
trusts from turning their old trick selling American
made products abroad at prices lower than CHARGED
home consumers, and at the time crying short
1t will put stop to the trusts habit of using
the power given them by government against the
people.
This is be effected through the putting of wool,
lumber, boots and Shoes dressed meats and agrcu-
tural machinery the free list and greatly reducing
the tax on manufactures of wool and cotton making
a low and gradually reduced duty sugar, and cut
ting down that other articles much used by
American consumers, but which protected and
exported-and high in price,
Under such policy the results are bound to be
far reaching BY breaking the monopoly, American
investors desiring compete in the now monopolized

bars products in which there is q shortage new

ton will be encouraged and larger market created
But even above that, the cause of trusts and
monopolies will be removed. It is useless to 'bust
the trusts" while maintaining the that makes
them Cause and effect are twin brothers, and to re-
move the effect the cause must be removed That
cause of trusts is largely the monopoly fostering
