THE JOKE OF THE AGES

THIS is the colossal joke Of the ages:
Millions of idle workers waiting heplessly outside
thousands idle slowly starving
of the food clothing and shelter those factories might
produce, and millions of farmers surrounded by
stores Of their unsod products suffering because the
workers cannot buy
This will be the colossal and terrible absurdity
which the will be famous down all the
dors of time And when those future generations hear
that the men and women of the present day not only
calmly submitted to the system which thus doomed
them but actually each election day voted in
whelmng numbers for continuation of the same-they
will debate whether they descended from such dumb
mails from the free and intelligent apes the Jungle

Widows and orphans of locomotive
engineers who belong to the brother
hood are the special care of the
Brotherhood Bank. The brotherhood
pays out between $2,5O0,000 and 3d.
100000 year in death benefits and
many beneficiaries are not qualified
to take care of the money. The bank
steps in to safeguard the families
from loss. Brotherhood men are be-
ing advised to make wills naming the
bank as trustee SO it can collect and
manage insurance and other money
that falls to the heirs and protect
them from swindlers.
During an interview, Mr.. Stone
pulled five-dollar bill from his pock-
ct and held it up for inspection.
Il want to show you a curiosity
he remarked. THAT is one of our first
issue of currency, the first bank notes
ever put into circulation by a labor
organization bank anywhere in the
history of the world. 1t is just rs
good as any other bank note. 1t was
printed by the government and issued
in the usual way. Our notes are in
general circulation along with Fed
eral Reserve notes and gold certi-
ficates."
The face of the note bore the in.
scription, Brotherhood of Locomotive.

land, will pay the bearer on demand

and then erected the structure with
borrowed money. Within ten years
the rentals had paid off the loan, and
now the building stands free of debt.
1t cost sl,25o,ooo. Recently the broth

months. In 1908 he became Grand

carefully. Finally he shot out the
query, uppermost in his mind:
''Say, if should put some money
in this bank could get it out again?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Stone with a
smile, you can get it out any time
you want it."
"All right" was the response, II
guess I'll leave some with you"
He began pulling out bills. He had
money hidden in every pocket, in his
shoes, in the lining of his coat, and
under his hatband The bills were
crumpled and wadded, and had to be
carefully unfolded and smoothed.
Finally he counted the pile. 1t was
more than foot high and contained
$762 in one-dollar bills.
While the bank does a good local
business, a feature is made of ''bank-
ing by mail" The fact that labor
organization is back of the institution
INSPIRES confidence and brings depos-
its from all classes. Money is placed
in small banks to aid wheat growers,
stock raisers, fruit men, and others
who have difficulty in getting credit.
Cooperative elevator enterprises are
often helped. In one instance, the
Brotherhood Bank bought up an issue
of school warrants in Nebraska
town, supplying cash to teachers who
had not received pay for months.
A striking instance occurred re-
Gently. A customer approached Mr..
Stone and said:

apartment house worth $25O,OOO. 1t

erty is now paying IL per cent"

"Ch, I'll raise the rent on the apart

investment will bring Is per cent"
Your security is good" replied Mr.
Stone, "but de don't care to make the

"Why, what's the matter?" asked
the applicant, very much astonished.
"We refuse to loan to any man who

increasing your rents"
well. WELL" exclaimed the would
be borrower angrily, "if that is the
way you do business, you will soon be
on the rocks" He walked out en-
ragged
Mr.. Stone had not been in the bank
ing business very long before he
crossed the trail of the loan broker,
who make living by charging a boz
nus for getting loans for clients. A
loan bad been granted to a widow,
md when the final papers came to
M Stone he discovered that the note
had been made out to draw 10 per
cent interest in place of seven.
How is this?" asked Mr.. Stone.
This loan was allowed for seven per
cent, but see it is 10 per cent in the
note"
"Oh," replied the broker who was
handling the transaction, "the three
per cent difference is my rake-off for
getting the loan for her"
"That don't go in this bank" ex-
claimed Mr.. Stone. "If this lady
wants a loan she can get it in the |
regular way without paying anything
to a broker"

STOCK OF GOODS so LOW THAT IF MAN LOSES COLLAR BUTTON
 NE IS RUINED; REAL TRAGEDY

MOSCOW, March 7.-Russian mar kets lack nearly every sort of manu- factured article the world can afford, unless it be artificial hair, perfumes and toilet articles. The beauty par lors seem to have adequate supplies and are doing a thriving business.
 The man who loses a collar button in Moscow is ruined. It is a tragedy
 when collars and shirts wear out. The odds and ends in the shops are chiefly the sizes for very small boys and giants. The neckties are pat terms which German dealers couldn't sell at home.
 Shopkeepers pu. everything attrac, tive they have in their windows. In-
 luiry within always demonstrates
 that they have. no stock in regular sizes.
 Government taxes on merchants Eare mounting daily and the merch- ants pile the tax on their prices.
 Small notion shops on side streets n Moscow are charged 60,000,000 pa per rubles a year for their licenses, which at the government rate is 600 gold rubles, or about $500.
 The news that Russia had been invited to participate in the Genoa conference came as a great relief to merchants who are having great diff ficulty in acquiring new stock. One merchant who formerly had great drygoods store in Moscow and is now running a combination shop where both old and new clothing and house. hold effects are sold, made the pre- diction, upon hearing of the Genoa invitation, that three months after Russia receives for iyn credit it will be one of the hIiity faces in the world for merchant be

Drowning of Helpless Now
 Advocated to Escape Taxes

VANCOUVER, B. C., March IT, Peter Veregin, head of the Russian religious sect known as the Douk- hobours, confirmed reports that he had suggested a plan whereby the children of the colony under 10 years of age, together with the aged and infirm, be drowned as protest against exorbitant taxation.
 Once rid of those unable to travel, Veregin proposed that his followers abandon their farms and wander over the country, preaching the coming of Christ and living as the "vagrant working class"
 While announcement of the plan was made by M Koftinoff, head of the sect in British Columbia, Mir Veregin, in telegram to the Cana dian Press declared that "it had my complete sanction"
 M koftinoff asserted that a mass meeting of members under his juris- diction had endorsed the suggestion that they liquidate all their property. Committees, he said, would dispose of all houses and stock, if the proposal were carried out, and members of the tribe again wouli become wander CTS.
 Kortinoff admitted that the pro posal to drown the young and infirm probably would msst with objection on the part of the women members of the colony. He declared that the government is laying a press upon the Doukhobours from all sources" and that the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood, as the sect describes itself, paid more than their share through building and improv- ing roads in their colonies alone.
 It is estimated that there are 5000 members of the colony in Canada, most of whom are located in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. They migrated from Russia in 1895 following persecution by Cossack sol diers in the reign of Czar Nicholas H.
