One thousand delegates, repre-
senting the organized working
men of America, assembled in

the oath annual convention of
the American Federation of La
Dor. All looked forward to one
of the greatest sessions in the
history of the federation, which
was organized in this city in
1880.
In addition to the authorized
delegates, hundreds of union
men from all parts of the coun-
try were present to watch the
inner workings of a national con-
vention. The committee in charge
of the general arrangements
planned to care for 5000 visitors
during the 12-days of meetings.

street car.
Six months ago the Pacific Mo-

to run double-deck coaches be-

These coaches will seat "a pas

cents for the round trip, while
the fare on the street car is so
cents. From the start the
coaches did a lot of business, and
then the company began running
coaches between this city and
Pasadena In competition with the
Pacific Electric company.
This was an eye-opener to the
owners OF small autos, who began
taking passengers at 5-cent fare
in districts where street-car SER
vice was VIGOROUSLY bad. This
business doomed, and now $50 to
200 such auto buses are run
ming on a dozen different routes.
Some women are engaged in the
business.

The word "hope" and the word
fact" have the same number Of
letters, but they resemble one an-
other in no other way. We all
have illustrations of this In
everyday life, but the great illus
trations of today is the attitude
which the English speaking peo-
pie are taking toward Germany
and the Germans.
We are making our "hopes"
twist the facts" to suit our
selves, but this nevertheless will
not change the facts. Germany
has great resources, and although
we may hope for her immediate
defeat, and expect her complete
bankruptcy, statistics do not In
dicate. that either result is prob
able. =
The way the English press has
COMPOUNDED hopes and facts is
perhaps best illustrated in its re-
ports of the recent German war
loan. So far as my recollection
goes this is the largest war loan
ever offered for subscription at
any one time in the history of the
world. 1t is for 1,318,000,0 900
marks in exchequer bonds and
3,071, 100000 marks in imperial
bonds, making total Of 1885,
000, 600 marks.
This means that by one act, in
the course of a few days, Ger
many sold an issue of govern
ment bonds amounting to over Il
billion dollars, which is about
80 per cent of the total debt OF
the United States. Moreover.
this is on top of her special war
fund collected when / was in Eu-
rope last year, amounting to over
quarters Of a billion dollars.
Perhaps readers can better un.
derstand how great this amount
is when say 1t is two and half
times the cost of the Panama
canal, five times the bonded debt
of one of the greatest American
railway systems, and several
times the cost of all the railroads

He removed to Cleveland, o.,

his business career as book

brother, John ID. Rockefeller, in
the oil business. The firm was
William Rockefeller & Co. With
his brother, John d., he organized
the Standard Oil company In
1882. He was president of the

The runs OF these machines, in
the city, vary from foursto seven
miles. but the fare Ii always five
cents, and some of the drivers are
making $40 and $12 q day. The
business has also spread to the
nearby towns.
The drivers of these buses are
now taking steps to organize and
to give universal transfers. They
have also decided that the nam
Der OF passengers for Ford bus
shall be limited to eight, and a
seven-passenger car eleven.
The street car corporations are
alarmed. They are agitating for
a heavy license on auto buses,
claiming that the auto buses, and
especially the heavy coaches,
damaged the streets.
With the exception of Pasa-
dena, this agitation has brought
no results. The public defends
buses and taunts the railroad
people with the fact that poor
street car service made 1t posi-
BILE for the auto motors to make
good.
In Pasadena, the home of rich
people, the council fastened to
slap a $40-a-month license on
auto buses. But Pasadena doesn't
count much, because few people
other than millionaires live there.
These few raised such a row, how
ever, that the license Is now be-
ing enforced.

A set of Artificial teeth must
now be made so that each tooth
gives three points Of contact to
every opposing tooth, in order
to feel comfortable and masti-
cate properly, and when 1t is
found that your Artificial teeth
will do their intended work,
you enjoy perfect utility sooner
and with greater ease than you
can when mastication Is made
impossible on account of lack
of contact. This quality of
function is the achievement of
science over empiricism and
has revolutionized Artificial
teeth within the past few years.
There are only two safe ways
of replacing missing teeth: one
is with bridgework and the 9TH
