the columns of the daily press that
cities have been submitting bids to
you for the location Of your immense
factory for the manufacture Of your
confined hair-brush and mirror. 1t
may possibly be the fact that in our
excessive hustle and hustle, taking
care of the regular business OF this
city, (only the natural and consequent
tial result of our exceptional location
and wonderful e~nterprise) some plans
have already been made through your
foresight, regarding the location Of
this mammoth establishment, as even
some few thousand dollars already
invested by your efficient Mr.. Hep
wing in actual construction. But we
humbly ask that all work be suspend
ed until our proposition shall have
had your profound and most in telli-
gent consideration.
Allow us to state first that while
we deeply deplore and deprecate the
fact that your rightful position In
Congress will be occupied by a per-
son not 100 per cent for the people
we bow to the inevitable and rejoice
in the alternative that probably the

Keeping Up With the Jones'
The hardest housekeeping in the
world, we imagine. is the h~ousekeep-
ing people do for their neighbors. Half
the troubles we have are caused by
worrying about what people think.
What difference does il make what
they think, anyway? No one can live
his own life and two or three other
peoples lives besides. What's the
use OF setting up housekeeping on
the roof or on the outside walls for
the benefit OF the neighbors? You
would be rightly judged insane if you
suggested anything of the kind, YET
that is practically what half the PEG,
pie do. They can't do this because
the neighbors would talk, and they
can't do that because the neighbors
would wonder If they could afford Il
do something else. They may not sa,
it in so many words, but they meal
it, and it is simply a great big a
uum in some Of our natures wher,
moral courage ought to be. Half tn,
sting of poverty or small means IL
gone when n keeps houss for one'
self and not his neighbor.

London. Sept. 10th. It is becoming in
creasingiy evident that the tariff reform
ers and free traders are preparing to make
the economic conference the greatest
struggle since the days of Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain. For many months mast
propaganda has been issuing from tn
headquarters of the tariff refOrmerS aad
new 'ganizatlons have been formed,
srch as the Empire Developing AsSoCi-
ton, which maintains that the British
Empire cannot be held together if closer
trade bonds are not formed between the
mOtherland and the domin;)ns. The
free traders are working more quietly,
yet their efforts are efficient. They have
form. ! a parliamentary committee and

midlands, gently resurrecting the ancient
war cry, your food will cost you more"
Labour and the AsQuith Liberals are
uniting to the extent OF cooperating with
the object of restoring England to her
long lost position Of a really free trade
country. The question is an exceeding
ly complex one and it IS rendered more
so by the present European situation and
Incomplete collapse Of the German mark
as we'll as the depreciation of the French
franc making competition with Britain
possible by other nations where formerly
she held a monopoly. The Bradford
wool manufacturers definitely demand
that the dominions impose a tariff upon
all wool exported to countries Othen than

wOolens a preference. They maintain
that the French makers are able to un-
dersell their competitors owing TO low
exchange value of the franc. Other
