GOOD BUSINESS LAST WEEK

Fairly I.nrgr Receipts OF Fruits md

Demand.

Business on Cary and Thirteenth

the early days. The receipts OF ali
scasonable articles were fairly large
and an active demand took them
about as fast as the railways brought
them in.
The poultry tnarke, WAS very well
supplied and there was little spirit
in the early days OF the week. chick
ms going at 3s 10 40 cents per pound
week hens weakened some and the
market closed at IS 10 80. Eggs were
not in as large receipt as dealers
would have liked them 10 he. They
readily brought IS 10 GO cents per
dozen.
y lively demand caused vcals to take
an advance and the very fancy ones
n one time touched IS TO IS cents
and closed for the week at IS. How
| ever, II TOOK the very best fancy ami
mails TO bring this price. The others
went from those figures down to u
cents. Lambs were fairly active AZ =
to Il cents.
While hides were in larger receipt
and the demand was more active tina n
has lately been the rule the price s

quoted few months back. Green
hides sold at cents per pound and
green sailed at 10 cents.
Fruits were active all the week
Peaches were scarcer and somewhat
higher, going at 81 TO $3.50 per crate.

On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise

tions have ten times more power now, more
influence on legislation, than they would
have had if they had, ten years ago, formed
Labor Party, antagonized everybody and
striven to elect President.
The Socialist Party has been, on the
whole, bad thing for Socialism.
The reason for all this is that our two
political parties are under the practical
conditions as they exist, not moral or al
truistic bodies at all. They are functionings
purely of self-interest, desire for office and
power. They are like the soulless giants
Fasot and Fafner. The thing to do, if any
group has a moral impulse it wishes to
carry out, is to control sufficient members
Of both parties.
That is what the Prohibitionists did. That
is the Gompers policy. And it is deal
more hard-headed and effectual than form
ing new party.
Third party folk are ingenious souls who
believe the pleasing fiction that Party Is
an ideal or conscientious thing; it is not;
it is an utterly practical thing; moral i'm
pulses must originate outside of it.
A political party is an organization func>
tioning directly to get its candidates into
office; what moral force it has is entirely
indirect and operative thru these candidates
as individuals. That is why a political
platform is usually joke, and non-pari-
san organization to influence public opinion.
such as the Labor Unions and the Anti
Saloon League, is very effective.

A certain part of the Labor forces want
TO form Labor Party. They are moved,
of course, by the consideration that by so
doing they will advance the interests of the
laboring people and their organizations.
At first blush it would seem good move.
But the first blush is wrong, as first and
unconsidered impulses usually are.
A party is not the means by which any
improvement in government can be Sc
cured, any moral issue furthered or any
other end reached for the Common Good.
All such progress has been made by nom
partisan efforts and propaganda. After it
got going the party stepped on and rode.
This is not argument. II is history. The
abolition agitation, for instance, antedated
the Republican party.
The most conspicuous recent instance of
this kind. however, is the story Of Prohi-
bition. The profound conviction in this
cause some years ago took the form of a
Prohibition Party. 1t had Presidential can
didates, conventions and everything. But
after while the dry leaders had sense
enough to see that this plan was futile, and
becoming less effective every four years.
They changed tactics, dropped the party
idea, organized the Anti-Saloon League, took
to pledging candidates of both the old
parties-and won hands down.
These same shrewd tactics have been fol-
lowed by Mr.. Gompers and have been con-
spicuously successful. The Labor organize
