 JOKER
 There is a joker hidden in Sen- ator Jimmy ByrneS' bill establish ing a Department of Public Works which, if enacted, would bar all women and white collar workers from federal relief.
 The South Carolinian's measure provides that in transferring the WPA to the new Department only those shall be carried over who are engaged in construction work. The practical effect of this restriction would be to fire all wo- men and white collar workers now on WPA-a total of about 450,- 900 of whom 250,000 are women. UNDER THE DOME

 stores, and patent medicine stores.
 As result of this survey, I am happy to inform you that the aver age saving to the consuming public, based upon present prices as com- pared to prevailing prices before the Fair Trade Act, is AT per cent.
 Also, the survey shows that aver age fair trade minimum prices are 16.3 per cent below manufacturers advertised prices. The fair trade minimum prices average IA Ia per cent above cost prices as defined in the Drug Control Act.
 Retail prices in drug stores are, on the whole, less than they were before the Fair Trade Act became effective in 1897. This has been the experience in all of the other A states besides Connecticut which have similar Fair Trade laws. By eliminating loss leader selling upon which the dealer sustains a loss, there is no need for exactine an exorbitant profit on other goods The tendency has been to pull all prices down to that level which per- mits a dealer to make his overhead plus a reasonable return on his in- vested capital. This benefits the consumer. it benefits the retailer, i, benefits the manufacturer, and thus it benefits the community and the commonwealth.
 Believing that an inspection of the results obtained under Connecticut's Fair Trade Act will cause you tC concur with the $50 druggists of thii state, that the Act has justified its existence in the public welfare, il therefore ought not to be repealed or tempered with.

Book A Day
The Boy Who l Saw Timbuctoo

Rene Caillie was probably the oldest adventurer in all history. As a poverty stricken French peasant boy, he listened to the tales of fabulous Timbuctoo until at last he was driven with an obsession to see the forbidden African city if it cost his life.
 Caille saw 1t all right, just no years ago, and nearly cost his life. In all the annals of explora- tion there is not another story like this. Now it is available in English for the first time. Galbraith Welch recounts it is book which should rank high in the travel literature of the year, "The Unveiling of Tim buctoo" (Morrow: $3.50.
 To appreciate young Caillie's feat. you must understand that Africa was practically and unexplored con- tinent 100 years ago and T1mbuctoo was its bull-eye. No white man had ever seen the secret city, but both England and France promised high reward to the first one who did because tales of incredible wealth came out of the Moslem town.
 So delicate Rene set out at 16 to seek the prize; at 28 he achieved 1t. after years of toll and sacrifice dur ing which he even embraced the Moslem faith to accomplish his task He stayed in the forbidden city two weeks, then struck across the Sa- hara in midsummer. Eighty-one days later he staggered irto the office of the French consul in Tan giers, dropped and whispered, T have been to Timbuctoo."
 Thus Caillie succeeded where many an expedition had failed. He succeeded, moreover, in seeing more of Africa than any white man had seen before, alone, unaided, with only paltry few francs in his pockets.
 If you like adventure at all, this is you dish.-P. G. F.

 But so do 99% of normally duck down side streets or into convenient doorways to dodge per- sons who give us pain in the neck. And there are coming to be more and more papers that lean over backward to be fair to people trends they hate, even as Americans in general are be- coming more and more fair-minded.
 Indeed, American press services and newspapers in general purvey kind of reporting that we believe to be unique in the world of today. We mean objective, factual straight news reporting, with the reporters prejudices and boss politics ruled out so far as in humany possible. The New York Times began this reform some forty years ago and it is an American press habit today
 The point of this whole discussion is that Amer lcan newspapers are an integral part of American life They reflect its rotten spots, but they also reflect its sublmities, and all phases in between Left unfettered save for the present adequate civil and criminal libel laws, American newspapers will change as American life changes.
 We have plenty of complaints of our own against the papers. The proofreading on most of them seems pretty terrible to us, and lot of them are drab and colorless
 But what really matters, we believe, is that American newspapers are the most nearly free papers in the world. The alternative is news paper press run by the government, and hence deadly dull and loaded with lies. as in Germany, Italy and Russia.
 We think the thing for Americans to do about their newspapers is to let the hecklers spiel on Git makes them feel better and it may help a little to keep the papers on their toes), but not to take the hecklers seriously until and unless they propose something more informative and more interesting than the 100% human hodge podge that comprises the present United States press.

STATE DRUGGISTS ASSOCIA- TION AGAINST TAMPERING
 WITH FAIR TRADE ACT
New Haven, Conn.
 March 6, 1889.


 March 6, 1889. Editor of The Democrat:
 At time when the Connecticut Fair Trade Act is approaching its second birthday, am writing to bring to your attention some of the results from the operation of that law.
 The Connecticut Pharmaceutical Association also would like to re- mind you that an effort is being made in the present session of the General Assembly by persons at present unknown, to bring about 8 repeal of this legislation, which has been beneficial to consumers and to legitimate business as well. As the publisher of one of Con- necticut,s great daily newspapers, your first concern naturally is for the public generally, represented by your thousands of readers; and secondly for your advertisers, among whom of course are represented several of your local druggists, as well as some of the great national advertisers whose products are sold in the stores of these druggists.
 The Connecticut Fair Trade Act, adopted by the 1887 General As sembly, establishes legal basis for fair trade, and protection to hon. est merchants and manufacturers and to consumers, in many lines of business, its procedure is follow ed by numerous lines of trade, with good results.
 But the Connecticut Pharmaceu- tical Association is able to report specifically on the results only in the drug trade, and we can report, on the basis of 8 painsUaking, state wide survey, that the Fair Trade act has been good legislation, for it has helped the consumer, by reducing average prevailing retail prices, It has helped the retailer by permit ting him to earn fair profit, and 1t has helped the reputable manufac- turer.
 You are familiar with many of the more well-known products. and doubtless some of them figure in your national advertising accounts, or in the advertising of your local druggists.
 To obtain definite information as to the present operation of the Fair Trade Act, the Connecticut Fair Trade Committee conducted sur vey of the prices of 53 well-known items such as those I have mention ed. in more than 100 outlets. in-

 Mar. 9. 1889

Mar. 9, 1889 Editor of The Democrat:
 The slogan on the billboard at the corner of West Main and Willow streets sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce is Reduce Taxes. The more taxes the less jobs" If this slogan states a truth and 1t surely does, then let us reduce taxes or do away with them altogether. :
 But how are our many expenses of government and society to be met? Simply take the value which the people themselves create and use it for the good of all the people This is economic rent or the Single Tax which Is not a tax at all but a rental for the use of any natural re- source. This value the people them selves have created and in all jus. tice should be collected and used for the benefit of all.

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 24.-Clark
Griffith's dream of building up a
far-fung baseball empire and
strengthening his grip on this Gen.
trail Florida city moved closer to
reality today when he purchased
controlling interest in the Orlando
ball club of the Florida State
League.
The president of the Nationals
completed the transaction early to-
day with F. M. Coffey of Washing
ton, who remains a shareholder.
The purchase was regarded as a
forerunner to Grifhth's taking
charge of all pro baseball in Or
lando. For some time the WASH
ington owner has wanted to move
free school" into Orlando. but
has met stern opposition from ICE
Strip, former major league in
fie1de~ and native here.
Strip has been operating a
School" at Tinker Field, charging
a $50 tuition fee He was reported
to have taught a class of 167 hope
fuls this year. In his fight against
Grifith's threat to move a free
school here Strip has been upheld,
at least off the record, by the Or
lando Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Grifdth's purchase of the Orlando
Senators, however, will give him a
foothold, It Is believed, and enable
him to override any objections. For

bold Tony Galento does get that shot
at Champion Joe Louis next summer,
which now seems assured, the very
least he ought to do is cut honest
Abe Feldman in for about 10 per
cent of his end of the purse
Abe did lot to help Tony's cause
by the sort of fighting he put up here
last night before Referee Dave Mil
Ter finally had to stop it early in
the third round to spare him further
punishment and possibly save Ga
lento from charge of manslaughter
Bald Abe did his level best to make
fight of it, I'm convinced. If he
didn't, then he took a terrible beat
ing to make it look good. The crowd
of about 10000, counting deadheads,
would have understood if Feldman
had stayed down any one of the
three times Tony smashed him to
the canvas in the second round.
They were yelling to Miller fran
tically to stop it when Abe sank to
his knees from a terrific left to the
body after 80 seconds of the third.
BY sticking it so gamely Feldman
at least gave Tony chance to land
few visible blows. The crowd and
the critics saw them hit Feldman,
and there was no one to say fake.
1t was plain that Feldman, an hon.
est, ring-Weary second-rater, sim
ply was no match for the Orange
round man, who outweighed him
some 81 pounds.
Tony gets a little more savage
each fight as he sees himself getting
nearer to a battle with the cham
pion. He's determined to face Louis,

And I'm not so sure he isn't right
about tiff he could by some mir

champion chopped him down. It
could happen. Neither Louis nor
any other fighter could laugh off

The crowd in the football stadium,

Prior to the main attraction we
saw tragic example of promis-
ing young fighter being rushed too
fast. They put Ben Brown, hand
some 21-year-old Albanian, in the
ring with Solly Kriege., the National
Boxing Associations middeweight
champion, and the kid was given a
brutal beating before the referee
stopped 1t in the ninth round.
Brown, the Southland's brightest
pueilistic hope, took his beating like
a thoroughbred and cried bitterly
when Krieger was pulled off of him,
but he might never be the same
fighter again. His face was pounded
out of shape and his body had taken
cruel punishment. He meyer was
any good after Krieger dug into the
pit of his stomach in the third
