ORGANIZED CRIME IN NEW YORK. Organized crime is nothing new; it as existed for vears, not only in| Italy, where the Camorrists have been | found guil after a long strug- but in city of New York a glaring example of its power and ven- geance has been brought to light by the shooting of Herman Rosenthal. New York yuld never rest until that gang of criminals and lawbreakers is broken. Rosenthal was a gambler, one who had confessed to being in ague with the New York police for he protection of such vice. By his testimony he t ned to divulge a system which holds the city in its grip nd his end was one way to prevent it. He had valuable information which it was impossible to suppress in any rther way. Not only the accusations but the murder of the principal witness have imposed on the city of New York an bligation that must be seriously met. That organized crime existed could | never be better proven than by the murder of Rosenthal. For he police foree of that city been point- to with the hand of accusation, but with the investigation under w: and assurances that the probe will go deep, revelations into the police cor- iption and graft are promised. New York must purge itself. While noth- ing has as yet been proven against the police foree the statements which Ros- enthal would have made showed him to have heid a hand of trumps.

The announcement by President Taft t he will not take part in the com- ing campaign causes no surprise to his m admirers and the country at large.

It i that he did #t in the cam 'mn to the eonvention, which is it it was mot by any desire on that he entered therein.

It has been demonstrated that both are a fact. The uses to which rubber is put are | many and so extensive that it is one of the great raw materials of construc- tion entering imto mast lines of trade in some manner, while the ment of the awtomobile industry has eteadily increased its use. There is no danger that there will be any de- crease in the demand, but on the con- trary it will require steady develop- goent to keep up with the increas- ing requiremenmts.

How western Canada feels in regard to reciprocity has been demonstrated in the provinelal elections in Saskatche- wan held the past week, It shows that the growing western provinces are ‘manjifesting an enthusiastic sentiment for reclprocity, meaning larger mar- kets and against the taxation of food- stuffs. This is indicated by the lib- eral viétery which prevailed in that province and sends more strength to that party in parllament. It is the western provinces which are to have an important and continually increas- ing part in the government. The New York Commercial points out that “ The census retarns show that the north- western provinces are entitled to a much larger representation in the Do- minion house of commons than they now have, and they will comsequently have more influence in parliament af- ter the next election. This is what gives so much significance to this Saskatchewan election and causes the conservative party in power at Ottawa to lose sleep over the prospect. The publication of President Taft's letter to Colonel Roosevelt on the subject of reciprocity was made much of by the conservatives and was used for all it | was worth Jast week; but Canadian farmers want reciprocity and pay no attention to side issues. | This gives reason for following Can- ada’s action relative to the question which has disturbed it so greatly and | indicates that there is a feeling grow- ing there that reciprocity should exist with this country. This means that western Canada is a steadily growing | force which that government must reckon with, THE NEXT BIG UNDERTAKING. With the completion of the Panama canal in sight, though sometime off, it is evident that preparations will be arted in the next session of the leg- ature to begin the development of the project to master the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers, for the pur- pose of averting such flood catastro- phes as occurred the past spring. The republican party platform is commit- ted to such an undertaking and Presi- dent Taft has long favored the task. This will be a gigantic internal under- taking of a magnitude similar to the canal. Much has been attempted in the way of harnessing the waters of the Mississippi which has served for the time being, but an engineering feat which will outdo all the others there t to be accomplished. It will be some time before the un- dertaking can be launched, but when it is reached much of the machinery which has been used on the Panama canal will be available. That equip-, ments will not be allowed to rust and decay along the canal bank. It will go under the hammer unless used in such work as proposed or in the Alaskan railroad project if it is put through. There is a large investment in con- struction and excavation machinery which can be made good use of by the governmment, and the prevention of a great waste, but which would be in- { significant compared to the monumen- tal loss caused every so often by the flooding of the Missiseippi valley. | i | 5y EDITORIAL N®TES.

The young man's serious counten- ance relaxed into a sardonic grin, and the corners of the young Womak's mouth were drawn down meaningly. Somewhere upstairs a floor was banged with much ostentation. The young man spoke first. “At last—alone!” he cried in the voice of the melodrama’s ideal hero. “Yes,” said the girl with a sigh, “so nice of them to leave us to each other!” “Blessed are the peacemakers,” quoted sententiously. “Oh, Kitty is & well-meaning soul,” he “Undoubtedly,” said he. “Yesterday I received a letter from Donald—dictated by Mrs. B——, T am prone to believe— asking me to run up over SBunday and give him my opinion of the latest ad- dition to his stable.

A Word About Noise. Mr. Editor: I have lived beside the public playgrounds and have had no occasion to complain until the football ang half grown youth met. There is no reason why football should be a noisy game, but these boys give vent to more ¥ and yowls than a band of Comanche Indians could give voice to, and keep it up by the hour, much to the distress of nervous and people in the neighborhood of the Pearl street schoolyard. A three hours’ breach of the peace is neither benefi- instructive. I like the boys and desire that they should play any and all games they enjoy six days in the week. All that needs be eliminat- ed is the noise, and strict discipline enforced by the instructor ought to be sufficient to do this. It might be well to debar large boys not belonging to the school from entering the game of football and doing the most of the yell- ing. There is no reason why a play- ground should be made a public nuis- AT THE POST MORTEM nce and if the gereeching and yelling is not taken out of the game the neighbors are likely to unite in steps to compel the change. A NEIGHBOR. ch, July 16, 1912, Standard of Value. Mr. Editor: That the high cost of living is not caused by supply and demand Is beautifully illustrated in a Bulletin editorial of May 23, under the title “The Coffee Inqui The fol- lowing is from said editorial in part: “The investigation which has been started concerning the coffee syndicate Nor is liable to divulge, at least in this line, the underlying cause of the high cost of living. * * * To the probe of he money trust can probably be at- buted the action in this government uit. It was brought out in the testi- of the coffee dealers that while the production of coffee has more than doubled in the foreign field from which it is obtained. the price here has like- wise doubled.” The law or rule of supply and demand doesn’t appear to work in this case. Neither does it work in most other cases or other com- modities as a rule. Then the editorial further says: “The Morgan interests are shown to be back of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where coffee is extensively grown.” It appears that Mr. Morgan and the National City bank of New York have invested $10.000,000 in the coffee business. Who is Morgan? The Wall street financial king. The Na- tional City bank is owned by the Stan- dard Oil company. These people are not in it just for their health, but the | result {s that you pay twice as much 'or coffee mow as you did in 19803. As a matter of fact, congress supplies | ® Mr, Morgan's banks and John D. Rockefeller's banks with the currency they invest in coffee, free of expense to ‘them, according to Mr. Spaulding’s version, or rather the law (7). What | 1s to prevent the coal and beef barons from investing theirs in coal and beef? Congress gives to the coal and beef baron banks their currency free and : | they invest it in coal lands and cattic ranches. By the way. there is over 900,000 bags of coffee in cold storage, as it were, holding it to keep up the price. Who then or what then is it that makeg the high cost of coffee? The same rule that applies to coffee ap- plies to all other commodities. It is the private or corporate ownership of money, or both combined, that is the primal cause of the high cost of liv- ing, and nothing else, under the pres- | ent system of supplying the people with monay, People may boycott any commodity they choose and substitute some other thing in its place, but there 1s one thing they cannot boycott, and that is money, Money is an indispen- sable factor of clyilization, Civilized peuple cannot well get along without | money, The underlying cause of the Ligh cost of living Is t'u privats and curporale ownership of all the momey and currency the people are obliged Lo nave. linder the fres colnage of geld the gold meoney is owned privately, The government coins ne gold meney for itself, for the reasen that it owns no gold te coid.

She nodded. “Do you ‘think there were any sus- picious circumstances connected with its decease " he asked. “No,” she said, slowly, “I should say it died a natural death.” “It was in remarkably flourishing condition shortly before its death,” said he. “You recall the nature of its end, of course.” “Yes,” she sald. “I suggested we were rather—er—incongruous, wasn't that 1t?” “Yes,” he said. “And you acquiesced?’ she said. He looked up quickly. It seemed to him there was a shade of mcuutlon in her voice. “T acquiesced because I thought you “because I thought it made it easlaer for you. You wanted me to, didn’'t you?” She was silent. “I say you wanted me to acqulesce, d4idn’t you?” he repeated. “This is quite apart from the au- topsy,” she said. “We were merely trying to find out how sentiment—af- fection—whatever it v-as, died.” He rose and stood with his back to the fire. ‘' Seems to me,” he said, “before we &0 on with this autopsy, we had bet- ter find out if the deceased is really dead.” He tried his best to look at her, but she turned her flushed face from him. “Half of it is dead, anyway,” she said “Which half?” he asked. It was some moments before she an- swered, then she said very softly: “Yours.” “You are mistaken there,” he said firmly. He moved from before the fire close to her chair. “Perhaps,” eagerness, dead.” “Perhaps not,” audibiy. In the gray dusk Bradley poked hi: head over the balustrade, and, com- prehending the situation, he called down to them in tones of infinite re- lief: “Say, I'm no end glad the strain of this reconciliation is over. I'll run up and tell the Missus.”—St. Louis Globe. his voice shook with “perhaps neither haif is she said almost in- lion it buys to pay the face of the bond, without paying the interest. So the goverrment owns no money of its own. But then, you know, we have got the gold standard of value. At least there are people who claim to believe we have, but have we? Is there such a thing as a standard of value? We will see later on, and also the part it plays as the cause in the high cost of Ilving.
