peril! The Lever act will get you If
you don't watch out!
or course, the exact cost of produc-
ing coal, month by month, is always
known, through the official figures of
the federal trade commission. Simple
satisfaction shows the gross profiteer-
ing now going on with cynical disre-
gard of the Lever law. Mr.. Palmer
has all the machinery of the depart
ment Of justice at his disposal. Weeks
ago he issued warning and a threat
of prosecution. Net result, no pros
ecutions.
But there is hope He appoints a
committee and again threatens to I'M

poets this will have a deterrent effect

was found after the contractor had
dug twenty feet through solid clay.
Then comes series of irregular
steps for distance of thirteen feet,
with a total drop of twenty-five feet.
Beyond this there is perpendicular

noRPolsE is VALUABLE

New York Evening Post: The por.
poise, as most OF us know, has long
provided a lubFicating oil OF excep-
tional virtues, but the public may not
be aware that the oil from the liver
OF the shark and the, dogfish has the
medicinal characteristics which have
made cod-liver oil q therapeutic
agent for decades The flesh of the
shark is decidedly palatable. so Is
that of the dogfish, and what is not
suited for canning can be converted
into a chicken or animal food or else
used in the preparation of fertilizers
Down south, where the sea leather
fishing stations are at present estab-
lished, experience shows that five
sharks are caught to every porpoise
ensnared in the nets. The sharks
range in weight from 400 to 1000
pounds, and 5e0-pound shark is
pretty common.
From the hide Of 500-pound shark
it is possible to obtain ten square
feet OF leather. and the stomach fur
nishes q raw material which can be
made into leather with the appear
ance and texture Of glazed kid. The
| liver win yield anywhere from ten
to fifteen gallons Of oil, and the dor
! sal fin, when dried, win bring about
$3.50 among oriental epicures. The

are uzed by manufacturing jewelers.

Henceforth, instead Of importing
annually in the neighborhood of 700,.

and instead Of depending entirely
upon land animals for these essential
supplies, we shall be able to draw
upon the inexhaustible life OF the sea

ALI. ON THE MOVE.

What nonsense lot of this talk and PRINT
about conservatives and conservatism ls MOST
people seem to regard conservatism as some
thing that stands still 1t is only necessary 70
compare what is called conservatism today Will
what was known by that name few years ago
to see that all people and things and thoughts
are on the move The whole thing Is relative
It is the fashion to call folk who watch Whch
way and where they go conservatives; to name
as progressives those who make the process Oh
going somewhere their supreme idea Inns does
injustice both ways. People who go Watchfuily
may get over more ground in the long run than
those who keep moving in circle, or who leave
the ground altogether in perpendicular flights.
The point worth noting is that without comparl-
son the terms conservative and progressive
would have no meaning. 1t is not that part OF
us are standing still it is that we are not at one
on the rate of speed, the goal sought or the
road that is best to travel. If we would only DO
the sensible agree on where we want to go, we
might more easily settle the details OF the pro
gress to the end.

the precedent is none the less omin-
Gus. Time was in an earlier period
OF railroad development when excur-
sion traffic was an important feature
of passenger revenue. The reduced
round trip rates stimulated travel
and enabled countless numbers of
people of moderate means to take
long vacation trips which were equal

THE RIGHT TO WORK.

It is generally conceded that industrial work
Eers have undoubted right to organize and bar
gain collectively with view to selling their
labor in the highest market Obviously they
thus treat labor as commodity -the thing they
have to sell-but they are entitled to do this II
they so desire. A group of splendidly oficered
artisans in any line prepared to do superior
work might very properly set a high price on
their services and get it; and the more OF these
there were in the country the better 1t would
be- With such an organization and such bar
gaining no possible fault can be found But
would group of this kind have moral or legal
right to insist that employers must not hire any
one elsei Can any group of workers be per-
mitted to maintain this positions Denied the
right to labor on terms that are satisfactory to
them, no other rights that citizens possess would
amount to much. Slavery was simply denial
of this right and the recent rioting In the popu-
Ilous centers of this country resulted from an
other denial of it. The principle is untenable.
No man can be denied the right to furnish such
services as he can render to another on terms
acceptable to both. This has come to be known
as the principle of the open shop; and industrial
prosperity and peace depend upon its settlement,
rightly and conclusively, at an early day.

Wall Street Journal: There
came to New York in 1877. a
pale. slim young man who intro
duced himself as Ferdinand
Ward. He secured a place at the
New York produce exchange at
81 200 a year He seemed to be a
bright young man. Within three
years, he married the daughter OF
the cashier of the Marine Nation
al bank and was on terms OF init
mate friendship with the presi-
dent Of the bank. ]. D. Fish His
ability to make and hold friends
was remarkable.
Ward made excellent business
connections and in a short time
was looked on as one OF the
shrewdest young business men in
the street"
Two years after his arrival in
New York he met Ulysses Grant.
second son of Gen. U. S. Grant
who had established himself with
a Law firm in New York. Young
Grant had charge of considerable
property, including his fathers
and some trust estates. etc. Ward,
soon after he met Grant. asked
him to join him in a speculation
in some flour certificates. Grant
supplied the money and the spec
ulation turned out to be a profit
able one. Grant was next to buy
some seats on the produce ex-
change. This speculation was also
gratifying in the result. Ward
was rising. He was the magician
who turned everything into gold
He now proposed to organize a
private bank in which he was to
be financial agent, with j. D. Fish
and General Grant as silent part
ners. Grant consented to this
plan. A meeting between General
Grant and Ward took place in
1880, at which time Ward was
regarded as one of the most bril-
liant men In Wall street Every
venture he had been connected
with had been a success.
The firm OF Grant & Ward be-
gan business at the corner OF
Wall street and Broadway. From
the beginning it ranked high as
a financial institution 1t began
business with capital OF $780,
600, of which General Grant sup
piled 100000. Grant was merely
a silent partner. He knew nothing
Of business; everything was. left
to Ward, the financial wizard
who swept Wall street off its feet
by the enormous dividends paid
to Investors" He was soon the
most talked Of man in New York.
Ward never played to the gal
lery. It was the big man he was
Interested in and the big man he
got" They were eager to get
him to use their money In his
Contracts which 1t was quietly
whispered around, were secured
through the influence Of General
Grant. He would "only let few
friends in"
In three years the firm of
Grant & Ward had grown from
a capital OF 100000 to an esti-
mated wealth OF $4,000. 600. Oc-
casionally a statement was sent
to General Grant, but it is said
that he seldom examined them
His faith in Ward was complete.
1t appeared that everything Ward
became interested In succeeded.
The first cloud appeared in
May, 1884 One Sunday afternoon
Ward called on General Grant He
explained to the general and
young Grant. that the day before
Saturday Mr.. Tappan, the city
chamberlain, had drawn on the
Marine bank for a large sum OF
money which the bank held on
deposit for the city. Mr.. Ward
