In seeking to have the newspapers OF
the South suppress news features OF the
overall movement" on the ground that
the spread of the Tampa idea may have
tendency to inlure their business, the
retail clothiers are going at the problem
from the wrong angle. Instead of attack
ing action on the part of the ultimate
consumer to reduce his living expenses
they should 90 further back into the costs
.of production. While there may be. in
stances of profteering on the part of re
tail dealers in clothing, the ,mwarranted
increased cost of clothing, even in this pc
Rod of steadily advancing prices, must
largely be laid at the doors of the manu-
facturers who have constantly sought
bigger profits and the employees who have
persistently demanded not only higher
! wages but shorter and shorter hours. If
the overall movement" should eventually
result in an accumulation of stocks of
other clothing the ultimate consumer.
fwho has been the victim of excess profits,

! some time, may be given an inning or two

Why the Printer Lost His Job.

In a southeast Missouri town 4 news
paper office received an order for some
public sale bills from a very prominent
farmer living near Sikeston. This or
der was given June %, and the work
was promised June 80
June so being the last day before
the prolonged drouth, the printer de-
cided he would take one shot of the

shot brought company and the wine
flowed freely for many moments. Sud
denly the printer thought of the sale
bill job he had promised for that day
He FASTENED to the printery and set
type with both hands. His feet and
legs were wobblv. but His head was
clear as a bell. He set the job, read
the proof, printed bills and wrapped
them up for delivery.
The farmer called for his job, paid
his bill and started lacking up his bills.
This is what he found on his bill:

protection and welfare of child workers.
\ native of Michigan, and educated at
Albion College, Mr.. Lovejoy first tried to
do his chief work in the ministry. A pas
torate near New York city opened his
eyes TO some of the ethical as well as
financial phases of urban life about which
he had not known much, and he began to
take up the study of social questions In
1904 he became connected with the
National Child Labor committee and since
1907 he has been its general secretary. He
has steadily gone ahead, organized public
opinion, kept out of any partisan or see
tional phases of the question, and now
secs the reward of his labor. Mr. Love

THE FREIGHT WATTS.

had enough experience with freight en-
hargocs and ether checks upon the sat
isfactory shipment and receiving of
goods to be little surprised at anything
that may happen. For some time the
general public was hardly aware of the
situation in New York, where the strike

ing things lively along the water front,
though not lively in the sense that
makes for the efficient conducting of
the city's import and export business.
At what point any situation becomes
really serious is hard to say, but it
appears to he that in the present in
stance.
The experience of a Hartford. Conn.
man a week ago is Interestingly told in
The Courant of that city. On Friday
he received a telegram from business

that seemed to demand immediate ac-

two weeks it would be of no use to him
lie had to have it and he begged his
Hartford friend to 90 to New York
and in some way to get it headed south.
Down went the Hartford man to New
York and straight to the office Of an
other friend, man of affairs, who
knew all the ropes. He told him what
he wanted and asked what would be the
best way to get it done.
The New Yorker looked out of his
Office window. Every day trucks eo

negroes. An armed motorcycle police
man rides ahead, another follows

He telephoned for a truckman who

he asked
The truckman laughed No." h,
