The plan, it is said, appeals equal
ly to the labor leaders before whom
it has been laid and who have seen
it tried out. 1t means that the in
dividual laborer need no longer en-
ter upon his work haphazard or feel
that he has no opportunity for escape
or advancement from his own par
ticular task. By this system of
training men can be put on that work

each man benefits by the conscious

of them are endeavoring to treat the
public fairly and honestly.
OF course there will be vigorous
objections to this cost-price publicity
plan, but it will come principally
from the dishonest and not from the
honest manufacturers and merchants
Indeed, it would not be at all sur
prising if some of our most fair
minded business men should, now
that the President has sanctioned the
plan in principle, voluntarily insti-
tute this price-publicity plan in
their establishments by posting OF
making the cost prices on all goods
offered for sale.
The taking of such admirable vol
untary action by one or two mer-
chants in any city or community
would mark them with the badge
of honesty and fair-dealing, and, as
other honest and progressive bust
ness men followed the example, their
action would quickly serve to point
out to the general public the bust
ness establishments and business men
who are our real .profteers; and the
punishment that would be meted out
to such profteers in the way of lost
trade and confidence would be more
speedy and effective than any penalty
which the slow and uncertain process
of court procedure could possibly
infiict.
While it would be deeply crafty
ing if the publicity plan could be
put into effect throughout the whole
country by the voluntary action of
merchants and manufacturers and
other business men, and without
waiting for the enactment of COM
pulsory legislation, it is perhaps too
much to expect this result in all
cases. Now that President Wilson
has come out so publicly and forcibly
in favor of this plan there should be
no great difficulty in inducing fair
minded and progressive merchants
and manufacturers to adopt it vol

ADOCATES PUBLICATION OF
COST PRICES.

In the special message which Pres
ident Wilson recently read before a
joint session of Congress he touched
the key note of the whole high price
situation by advocating a federal
law requiring that the cost price be
stated on or in connection with all
goods placed in storage or shipped in
interstate commerce.
If this plan is put into effect it
will mean that practically all goods
offered for sale in this country, ex-
cept the products of farms adjacent
to cities and towns, will be required
by law to display, as far as possible,
the cost price. This is tremendous
ly important step in the direction of
universal publicity of the production
and cost prices of all goods offered
for sale, and will, in all probability,
do more to insure honest and rea-
sonable prices than any other mea-
sure which can be enacted for the
curbing of profteering.
The present system of maintaining
secrecy as to cost prices of merchan-
disc is not only conclusive to profit

Life is gay and blithe and sunny,

who predict a day of dearth; but
that day will come as suray as
tomorrow's sun will rise; things
will then be going poorly with the
giddy spendthrift guys. Things
won't boom along forever as

saves as ably as he spends. 1t
is patent to the knowing, in ex-

will come day of trouble, when
this boom is left behind, and the

DEFINITELY DECIDED TO
PLACE SHOW ON Big lot
BarkOot's Carnival VIII Not Be Placed
On the City Streets rs Was at First
Considered Because OF a
Width Of Tents.

The committee under whose aus
pices the Barkoot Carnival is to be
given here next week, Thursday night
finally decided that they would not
place the shows on the city's streets
as was first considered but they have
entered into contract for the rent Of
the Donovan and the Dryden lots just
East of the Baseball park where the
shows will be stationed.
This decision was reached when 1t
was learned that the width Of the
show fronts would practically block
the city's streets and this could not be
permitted on account Of the fire de-
partment's rulings. The show also
has great ride known as "The Whip"
which takes up much space and a
proper place for this ride could not
be found on the streets.
The company will reach Maysville
over the L. & N. from Lexington Sun
day morning and will be unloaded
probably at the L. & N. station. The
show will open in full blast on Mon
day afternoon and Monday night is ex-
pected to be big night. Indications
are that the weather will be much
warmer next week than this.
