AN ANCIENT cANARD.

The purity contingent which abhors, mud,
lies and all other things of besmirching char
Sster is perfectly willing to prove their in
consistency by circulating and publishing
ancient canards respecting Mr.. Blackmore's
attitude toward union labor.
They go back to the forgotten past to dig
up a trivial incident in the construction of a
building in the city, not Mr.. Blackmore's in
which a captious a~gitator or organizer OBJ
jected to concrete workers putting in footings,
contending that carpenters should be called
upon to do the work 1t was purely a techni-
cal point which was settled amicably later.
If the lily-vhite mudslingers were really
interested in giving the public Mr.. Black
more's union labor attitude, they could, had
they the remotest idea of fairness, have said
that Mr.. Blackmore has put over something
like 100000 worth of residence construction
IN the city, every dollars worth of which was
done by union labor.
The Ideal apartment building, one of the
best in the city, was built by Larsen & Jor-
sensen, all branches by the organized unions.
The Biackmore apartments, an equally
splendid building of homes, was constructed
by the Reed Construction company. All the
work in this building was done by men be-
longing to the several unions.
The building on Wolcott street now under
way for the Barton Produce company, is con-
tracted with the Colby & Rongstad company
who employ all union labor.
Union Labor has never had anything but a
friend in MIR. Blackmore regardless of the
iiiy-white mud projected by the lily-white
non-mudslinging outfit that poses as the
keeper of all matters pure.

GLIB AND Shelf.

1t is altogether impossible to unscramble
Candidate Giblin and J. A. SheHner, police
chief, in dealing with the subject of immoral
conditions in Casper. Their friendship il too
hrmiy established and their understanding too
complete to admit of any other view of the sit
uation.
Giblin as a proclaimer and Giblin as a per-
former IN the publication of Casper are two
different persons entirely. A DIR. JekyI and
Mr.. Hyde as it were. He processes a deep
interest in the security of the home and Che
welfare of the children, the elimination from
the public view of the scarlet woman and her
degenerate attendant, the low-born, low.
proved scum who lives upon the earning. Of
her shame.
He processes many things in this general
hne' but he does not profess them in the only
place where they would be efective-in the
city council chamber-where he has the right
as a member to demand correction of the evils
permitted by a police force and CITY admins
tration charged with the public duty of en-
rorcing the laws and ordinances.
IL MIR. Giblin at any time in his life was
sincere with reference to Kidding .he city of
evil things, then why did he double-cross for
mer police officers Hibbard and Nice VIII
IN July informed him of the reign of vice on
West B street and their desire to suppres, r.
pus could get no instructions from the chief.
Iioiin, knowing his friend Shefner. and b,v-
ing no regard for the confidence reposed in
nun by officer: seeking to do a public duty, at
ths - .%"a caeed TO his ally, Sheffner, to
.he END that Sheffner and his man Castor
rushed to the Sandbar and closed up one Of
the most notorious joints merely as a by-plav
to reflect upon the officers on duty there.
Losing one joint, while all around it other
JOINTS were unmolested and permitted to op-
crate did not fool anyone.
The action of Sheffner was purely and .;-
ply a stall. W n

LII roads at one time led to Rome; and
in every city, great or small, the "Via
Romano" was the most interesting of all it's
thoroughfares, for there it was that the most
interesting people, travellers from far and
near, were to be met, coming or going.
And doubt it not that it was dotted with
stalls, booths or bazaars where the markets
choicest wares were on display and sale;
maybe "apes, ivory and peacocks" certainly
many wonders and luxuries, as we'll as neces-
saries, of the ancient world
It is an established fact that nearly
everybody from the sixty-seven counties of
this great State of Pennsylvania, going his
or her way to the seashore resorts, stops off
in Philadelphia-and in stopping, visits
Wanamaker's; ofttimes before visiting any
other place.
In fact, the same thing is true of all
vacationists on their way to the New Jersey
coast resorts from the forty-eight States of
this great Union
Of course they want to see Wana-
makers! and if anything needs to be bought,
to buy it at Wanamakers.
So it may be said that while all roads
IN Philadelphia lead to Wanamaker's, the
Stores location being in the very heart of
the cltys business activities, the very short
est and quickest road is the one which a
traveller takes from either of the two great
railway termini of the city, the Pennsylvania
Station at Broad and Market Streets and the
Headlng Station at Twelfth and Market.

MANY of them have come to buy all that
they've time to buy in Wanamaker's,
and it is astonishing how quickly and eff
GENTLY one can find ones way to what one
wants, considering that this is Store of no
small dimensions.
Think of some farm you know of that
includes forty-ive acres, and you will have
the best mental picture of the total floor
space covered by the fourteen floors and
the galleries of the Store.
Were all these floors as wide only as
Market Street, and placed there end joining
to end, they would stretch from the Delaware
River to Sixtieth Street, if taken between
curb lines.
All day, through this great place, fresh
air is brought in from the outside every six
seconds and water-washed to make it both
pure and cool, and the stale air rushed out
by suction.
Perhaps that is why so many people
have told us that, no matter how long they
stay here, they do not experience the sense
of fatigue they associate with shopping else
where.
AS for the merchandise, it is renewed
almost as freshly as the air-and necessarily
so, for sometimes it goes out of the Store
with almost as great rush as the air.
A recital Of all the new, interesting
things in the Store just now, particularly
those most attractive to the vacationist or
those preparing for vacations, would almost
rival in its length and imposingness the line
just referred to, of Wanamaker Store floors
placed end to end.
