A Square Deal
For Business.

Every one wants a square deal.
Therefore everyone should give a
square deal. Anyone who breaches,
should practice what they preach.
We believe in practicing what we
preach.
The business man who advocates
buying, and then does his shopping
outside, is not practicing what he
breaches The resident who looks to
the business man and merchant to pay
most of the taxes, to make donations
and to take leading part in the well
fare and advancement work and then
does not shop with his local mer-
chant. is not practicing what he
breaches.
The local merchant should not be
expected to make lower prices than
merchants elsewhere. He has to pay
as much for his supplies. He may not
have as heavy an overhead as mer-
chants in the larger cities, but he has
not the volume of business and rapid
turnover to count on Outside mer-
chants are aware of the fact "all out
side business is extra business" and
some of them are willing to reduce
prices on outside business and take
smaller profits.
The customer is entitled to have the
exact article he wants and if his home
merchant does not have what the GUS
toner wants, the dealer cannot expect

Whited SepulchreS.

AT Canton, H.. a three year search
for a moron resulted in the capture
of a respected citizen. Finger prints
left on a window sill brought about
detection. The arrested man has con-
fessed to raids which caused the death
of two aged persons through fright.
His principal role was that of a
"peeping Tom looking through win
dows after dark in an effort to catch

Not all the sensational crime in
the world is done by the reputed

all appearances in looking for crimes
of perversicn. The common, coarse,
vulgar bounder shuns an offense
which a highly cultivated individual
might commit, so experts are forced
to conclude.

Wreck Conservation Plan

Washington. Sept -. - Western
StoSkmen in the II great public land
states are preparing "a attack the ma
tion'S forest conservation system
when congress eonvenes next Decenl-
Der.
Hearings now being held in the west
by a subcommittee Of the senate eom-
mittee on public landS indicate the
Stockmen will demand that the gov
ernment turn over T. them in perpc-
tuity IN eright 10 use these grazing
lands without cost other than 4 small
charge for administration.
The stockmen are strong opponents
of any form of government paternal-
iSm-except in their case. Govern
ment grazing lands are a valuable
commercial commodity. vet the stock,
men boldly demand that the same be
turned over to them without cost.
Chief Forester Greeley OF the de-
partment of agriculture opposes the
Stockmen's demand lie points out
that cattle forage has a commercial
value and that stockmen should pay
for same just as they do when forage
is owned by private parties. Sheep
units range from 10000 TO $4,000 and
cattle herds fun fr1m 5000 10 1000
The chief forester insists that the
stoekmen pay for this grazing, instead
Of giving them perpetual rights ANA
free use Of the forests. He points out
that forage is one OF the great COM
mercial commodities of the western
states, and is bought and sold and
rented every day.
The present grazing fees have been
in effect several years. They average
IL cents a month for cattle and 3 cents
a month for sheep.
Public land consesationiSts say the
stockmen's demand Is more far reach.
ing than a tariff or subsidy, both OF
which may be withdrawn. If the
stoekmen are given perpetual grazing
rights, they are fastened on the public
lands.
In the last congress stockmen urged
passage Of the Phipps bill, which was
approved by the senate committee on
public lands. No discussion or pub
licity was given the measure. The bill
was sidetracked in the house commit
tee on agriculture. This measure
would take the graHlng question out
Of the hands of the department of
agrieultur. A board consisting of two
representative of the department. two
livestock men and a fifth chosen by
the four would make final decisions.
This proposal will again appear be-
fore congress, and In the meantime
the stockmen's propaganda makes no
refernce to private initiativel" and
the need to keep government out of
business"

Hands Off China"
Cry From Far East

Baltimore, Sept. 3G.-The meek and
iowily Chinaman of fiction was not in
evidence at n conference on American
relations in China, held at Johns Hop
kins university. Instead, Chinese mem
bers of the conference demanded that
foreign nations be- shorn of their
power over China.
Briefly stated" said a member Of
the Chinese legation in Washington,
"the Chinese people ask for the inn
mediate restitution of their rights to
make tariff laws and for the abolition
of eNtraterritorial rights. If China Is
to develop her natural life these han
dicaps must be removed"
One newspaper correspondent who
is acquainted with far-east conditions
declared that if these rights are not
accorded China, that country will
eventually regain them by force. The
Chinese, he said, will drive Us into
the sea at the point of the bayonet."
The conference voted in favor Of
restoring TO China her right TO make
her own tariff laws. and opposition to
the system of eXtraterritoriality was
recorded. A minority opposed this
plan, although they insisted they
"are friends of the Chinese nation"
That the world Is understanding the
extent of the wrongs inflicted on China
is indicated by recent utteranees by
statesmen who are alert to public
opinion.
Secretary of State Kellogg has in
vited the various nations to join in a
conference at Peking To discuss the
Chinese situation. According TO cable
dispatches, Austen Chamberlain, for
eign secretary of Great Britain, has
declared that "as circumstance
change, Great Britain will gladly sur
render the special arrangements which
were brought into being only to pre-
serve peace between China and the
outer world. Our hands will go So
TO meet China in memory of old
friendships and in the desire to re-
store cordiality.n

Newark, N. j.. Sept. 30,-Reports
made to the fifty-seventh annual con-
vention of the New jersey State Fed
Grafton of Labor show gratifying
growth in the two labor banks recent
ly launched in the State.
The Labor Cooperative National
Bank of Newark, launched June 27 by
leaders of the Federation and the
Essex Trades Council, has just passed
81 100000 in total assets, in a little
more than two months.
According to a recent analysis more
than so per cent of the deposits come
from organizations and individuals
outside of labor ranks, indicating the
popular support being given these in
stitutions.
S. ID. Seudder, vice president of the
Newark bank and organizer also Of
the Paterson Cooperative Labor Bank,
announced that the Paterson institu-
ton, which has been in existence more
than a year, has already passed S3,-
100000 in total resources.
Both Jersey banks are supported by
groups of labor unions rather than a
single organization.

coal in gas making, is among the
authorities who will discuss problems
affecting the future fuel supply of the
country at the Seventh Annual Con-

ton. The convention will be held
during the first days of the week
beginning October Il, at Atlantic City.
Arrangements are being made to seat
5000 delegates,
Recent developments in the oil and
coal industries are responsible for
much of the interest in the delibera-
tions of the country's gas men this
year. 1t is recognized that situation
has developed which will probably
mark turning point in the history
of fuel. The question to be decided
is whether or not the manufactured
gas industry is in position to sub
stitute its product on a national scale
for what is generally admitted to be
some of the present wasteful methods
of employing fast-disappearing ma
tural deposits.
