WHAT THE TBA3E MA" KfflEAHS
. ' TO THE BUYER.
Few people realize the importance
of the words "Trade Mark" stamps !
on the goods they buy. If they did il
would save them many a dollar spenl
for worthless goods and put a lot oi
unscrupulous manufacturers out ol
business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
{ rude mark he assumes the entire re
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business reputation
in his hands out in the limelight "on
the square" with the buyer of his
goods , with the dealer , and with him
self.
self.The
The other manufacturer the one
% vho holds out "inducements , " offering
to brand all goods purchased with each
local dealer's brand sidesteps respon
sibility , and when these inferior goods
"come back" it is the local dealer that
must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection with
National Lead Company's advertising
of pure White Lead as the best paint
.material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of pur
ity in White Lead is proved to the most
'e skeptical by the offer National Lead
Company make to send free to any address -
-dress a blow-pipe and instructions how
to test the white lead for themselves.
'The testing outfit is being sent out
from the New York office of the com
pany , Woodbridge Building.

'One doesn't have to have many htfta-
slred dollars to have a summer home
In these days of sublimated shanties ,
liardwood-floored tents and nutshell
bungalows , says the New York Globe.
At many seashore places within fifty
miles of Manhattan delightsome little
boxes of houses have been gayly plumped -
ed down upon hillocks and hummocks
overlooking the sea and there in a few
feet of space a cor.ple. a family or a
party of bachelor girls or bachelor men
get up their chafing dish and brass can-
dlestiflis , make up couch beds , swing
hamiuocks and joyously live the simple
life that doesn't mean in their case
cither the life shorn of vivid pleasures
or material comforts.
At least in one spot on the Jersey
coast one can lease for the summer sea
V son a bit of beach for one's bungalow ,
i : $5 for the privilege. The bun-
\ may be as luxurious or as simple
f as one's taste and purse dictate. As a
rule they are mere shells and shelters
from rain and sun. The motto of the
true Imnirtiloafcr is. "Outdoors was
.infule'to live in , " and it doesn't matter
in the least to him-if he sleeps and
cats out of doors every line day and
uight from May until November. The
bungalow in such cases is a more son
to the prejudices of the folk who con-
eider that all respectable folk need a
ioof over their heads occasionally.
One wee cot whose dull rod sloping
roof and green shingled walls make a
gay spot on the white beach was built
by a young architect and his two stur
dy young sisters. The whole house was
'ready to live in in two weeks from
foundation posts to painted shingles
and the cost was less than $ : JOO , includ
ing a fine broad chimney of red brick
and. a iloor of fine narrow boards. The
piazza po t are of logs with the bark
etill on , and the entire front of the lit
tle houe can be opened so as to make
an outdoor room. This little house has
a large living room and a small kitchen.
Om.-hes in the living room serve as
beds by night. Chests of drawers the
oxa T height of the book shelves , a set-
ice x i.uh turns into a table at a toucL ,
v\ickor chairs and bright rugs make the
living room comfortable and home-like
without crowding it. The little kitchen
with its tthite paint , blue and white oil
cloth sucl blue dishes and window bos
of ml geraniums is an ideal laboratorj

The prosecution of the railroad com

The Standard Oil Trust was prose

was nigh at hand and partially accom

United States and orders the fine re

There is a way. however , to bring
iiost of the trusts to time and no OIK-
: news it better than the Republican
toliticians , but they studiously avoid
ttempting it. All the trusts have some
orm of monopoly that bolsters them up
nd most of them are specially protect-

EAS
F THE DAY
Republicans still boast of the pros
perity which they have produced in
this country , but no real prosperity has
existed. It was sham and not genu
ine , and the first breath of adversity
has blown down the whole fabric like
u breath demolishes the child's house
built of cards.
Xot that there has been no prosper
ity , far from it. The too prosperous
trusts have flourished amazingly , but
it was not the well doing that comes
from successful labor , but the fortune
produced by successful plunder. The
few have become millionaires and the
many have just contrived to live , and
but few of them to save. Such are the
fruits of protection. High prices for
speculative securities and watered
stock doled out to gullible victims is
the Republican conception of prosper
ity , and that is the only kind of pros
perity they have ever shown in the
long years they have controlled the
government.
Now , the Democratic notion of pros
perity real prosperity consists in
the abundance of commodities' fairly
distributed among those who produce
them. It means more houses , larger
and more commodious rooms with
healthier people dwelling in them ; it
means warmer clothing , covering
stronger and more healthy limbs ; more
abundant food of better quality , more
shoes and more of everything in the
nature of comfort that man can use
But , after all , the Republican partj
has jhad to turn taii and run for 00-401
from the righteous wrath of an in-
jtirtd people. It declares its cardinal
IX ) 1 icy of protection to have been a
failure and promises to revise it "after
election. " "What the promise stands
for no one knows. The organ of the
Protective Tariff League with joy ( To-
clares that it means revising the tariff

reformer Cummins , the father of the

the linest merchant ships afloat and
our P.altimore clippers were seen on
every sea. But persistent tariff pro

has driven our Hag from the oceans by ,
making it unprofitable for Americans
to build and own ships for foreign

lost of which have not yet been
chieved and never will be under the
lutocratic bred policies for which the
: epublican party is famous.
Under such policies our taxpayers
ire doubly taxed ; they pay the tariff
< ax ou1 all they buy. either to the gov
ernment on imported goods , or to the
trusts and manufacturers who can de
mand high prices for their products
because they are protected by the tariff
from competition from abroad. Then
rlic tax payer would also have to pay
the ship subsidy as well as the freight ,
< > that both these expenses would
make the freight rate by an American'
ship much higher than the rate charged
by foreign ships.
How can the American merchant
marine prosper under such conditions ?
Instead of paying subsidies , why not
try free trade in ships so that any
one can buy a ship and sail it under
the American flag ?
The United States will never have a
profitable merchant marine until the
tariff is revised so that it would not-
weigh heavily on that industry. With
free ships and tariff for revenue only ,
American pluck and ingenuity would
successfully compete on the sea with
all nations.

liter. He was taken to the First Reg
iment armory and later permitted to
proceed to his home.
General Young , in command of the
troops at Sprimrfield , returned to Chicago
cage and discussed the Klein ase. He
declared that the evidence before the
military tribunal showed conclusively
that Private Klein , in forcing young
Nelson from the regimental train at
Kankakee. acted solcb * from a motive
of military duty.
"When the State's Attorney of Kan
kakee demanded that I deliver Private
Klein , " said General Young. "I refused
to do so. I exercised my discretionary
power , advised by the Attorney General -
oral , on the ground that to deliver Klein
at that time to the civil authorities
would be destructive of the morale of
the troops. I might as well have sent
them back to Chicago had I complied ,
because they would have felt that they
had no right to use the weapons given
them. .

It is understood that residents of

ature for you to take into considera-

the very pleasant things in connec-
3n with it is the fact that the rail-
ads have promised to give reduced
.tes on all roads leading to Sioux
ty. The fare for the round trip will \
ily be three cents per mile. Thw
anagement has worked hard in err -
; r to secure this reduction.

Remember that the Interstate Fair
11 be conducted on the same high
oral plane on which the state fairs
.ve been conducted during recent
ars. Xot a drop of liquor will be
Id on the grounds and no gambling
any form will be 'allowed. The free
ows , as well as those for which ad-
ssions will be charged , are of a hign
rJer and second to none of the sim-
r attractions at the largest fairs in *
2 country. All exhibits will be on a
ge scale. So far more interest is
ing taken in the state fairs than in
