Hi ! THURSDAY , AUGUST 22 , 1UOT.
Omaha sold hard coal at § 9.00
per ton for awhile , bat it costs us
the same old price in Cherry
county.
Gasolene railed another half
cent a gallon to pay the twenty-
nine million fine ? No , just to pay
the expenses of standing a trial
i and to fight the case through the
courts. They'll never pay that
fine and tho.y have probably never
worried over it a minute. Oil is
getting almost too high to burn ,
but what can we do ? Goal is § 9 a
ton for cheap coal.
Very little relief Ins bean af
forded the people regardless of all :
the agitation by the president
against the trusts. There were
numerous cases brought up against
this and that corporation but it
has about all died ous and _ there is' '
really nothing doing. The state' '
legislature accomplished more in' '
t
a short time in several states than
all the prosecutions by the lloosc-
velt bears.
If Capital Should Strike.
The Wall Street Journal , ablest
of all the organs of finance , has j
been neither wise nor clever in its
i
overt tb-eat to the country that ,
capital may go on strike if the
t 'persecutions" of eminent capital- ;
*
ists do not cease. For it is a silly
and short-sighted Wall Sheet
Journal that does not know that
for capital to strike 'would sound
the knell of private capital in some
of its most important fields ; that
does not know that even the threat
of a "capitalistic strike" is fool
hardy to a degree. It is like the
heartless and cynical taunt to the
French proletariats that they
"might eat grass" for a change ; a
taunt thai ; speeded the revolution
that wiped out feudalism and the
exemptions and privileges it con
ferred.
Suppose the Wall Street Jour
nal's dream should be realized ;
that the day would come when
"capital had gone on a- strike ; "
when , in the Journal's words ,
"every wheel in the country will
cease to turn ; manufacturing es
tablishments be closed ; railroad
trains be brought to a stand-still ;
banking houses close their doors ,
and the stock exchange take an in
definite recess. " Suppose capital
should do all this , "to teach the
country a lesson. " Suppose 15
million people should be thrown
out of employment , again quoting
the Journal , while "many of the
rich men gathered their available
funds together and prepared to
leave the country. "
What then ?
* -
,
A * - ,
Could the "rich men" take their
mines and their railroud- and their
'mills and their lands with them ?
Or would they h sve to Irave them
Leaving them behind , would
they continue-to ' "own" and ' "con
trol" thtjm ? Would the govern
ment make no move , would 15
million men remain eternally idle ,
while 15 million families starved ?
j Or would the government and
15 million men and the mills and
! f
; mines and railroads and lands jrct'
I
together ? And in a short while
would the trains be moving and
the grain growing and the mills
turning and the mines pouring
forth thcK- wealth as of old , responding
spending to the concerted efforts
of 30 million hands ? And would
the only importance between the
then and the now be that the
whole cnintry would be starved
into capitulation the Journal
sems to think , or would it bet-hat
the country would continue to
prosper as now , with the same
willing hands applied to the same
inexhaustible resources , while only
the expatriated "rich imn" starv-
BV ] , gazing the while on paper se
curities representing wealth and
p-wer ) no longer theirs ?
That , dear Wall Street Journal ,
is a supremely silly idea for
"capitalism" to put in the heads
of a mob ! The wisest thing capi
talism can do is go right along
devoting itself to , the reproduction
of wealth as it lias been doing ,
thankful of its privileges and im
munities , and obeying the laws of
the land as enthusiastically as it
has hitherto flouted them. Wor l-

Choke-cherries are our only wild

back on their county. The yield
of wild strawberries , raspberries

very light , but choke-cherries arc *
all right if you know how to "fix"
'em. Cherry marmalade , cherry

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the ideal summer drink. It is cooling ,
satisfying and refreshing. It makes the enjoyment of the outdoor luncheon
complete , for it is a food as well as a drink.
Pabst brews for food qualities as well as for purity and flavor. Pabst
found the only way to get all of the food-values out of the barley-grain
was to follow Nature in making the malt , by growing it slowly and
scientifically , and he therefore perfected the Pabst Eight-Day Malting
Process. Pabst Malt is richer in nutriment than other malts.
e o :
is a more healthful , wholesome food than other beers. The Pabst Perfect Brewing
Process blends the rich food values of Pabst Eight-Day Malt with the tonic propei es
of the choicest under conditions that insure
hops positive purity , while reducing the
percentage of alcohol to the minimum less than 3& < % > .
Pabst Blue Ribbon is the ideal family beer , because of its food values , its purity
and its remarkably small amount of alcohol , making it a truly temperance drink.
'When ordering beer ask for Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Made by Pabst at Milwaukee
And Bottled only at the Brewery.
