The meetings thereof shalt thou at- That will hold their shape better than the ones Ave sell you if you pay $100 a suit for them. We buy the best and there is no better than the best. But we don't charge you the price that you pay for the best at other stores, and that's why you should buy your clothing here. OUR POLIQY is to sell a Suit for as little money as we possibly can and make a living profit. There's a vast difference in this policy and the one that takes 100 per cent profit NOW, when everybody needs clothes, and during July. "clearing sales" slashes prices. There's not a man in town so fastidious that he can't please himself from our stock of Spring and Summer Suits, and every Suit bought here Of 25 Per Cent to the Purchaser.

WAS NEWS TO HALL. rules laid down by lawyers already admitted, those rules being given the added weight of legislative enactment. These statutes, which are the rules under which lawyers work, were drawn by lawyers and enacted into law. As a free man I have just as much right to practice law in the courts of this land, without submitting to your rules, as the non-union man has to work at my trade without first submitting to the rules of my organ, ization." And while Judge Hall spluttered a good deal, he could not find in all his finely legalized gray matter a single answer to the argument. The reason for his failure lies in the fact that there was no answer; Judge Hall claims the protection of a magnificent ly organized union, but. having se cured the advantages of that organiza-'j tion he would deny the every day me chanic the benefits of a like organiza tion. Perhaps that is what Judge Hall would call "fairness," "equity," "just ice." Lawyers have some funny names for some queer' things. . Two Hundred. Iay Be Dead. A dispateh from Sydney, N. S.

I The greatest can learn something from the least if the great will' only listen once in a while. Frank M. Hall is admittedly one of the best lawyers in the west. But while knowing a lot of law, Judge Hall is ignorant along a great many other lines. The other day he was discussing or trying to discuss the trades union question with a Lincoln unionist. He said he didn't care a darn whether an article was made by a convict or a free man. And he said he didn't believe in trades unions. "They are unamerican, and a hindrance to the worklngmen themselves," he said. "But, you are a member of dne of the strongest unions in the country," said the union man. "Indeed, I am not," declared Judge Hall. "You are a member of the Bar As sociation, sir, and that is a very strong union.
