RATES RAISED very = In connection with the raise in express and freight rates, | it is announced that the first effect will fall upon the merchants, | who “will try to pass it on to their customers.” The merchants will not onty try to pass the increase on to customers, but they will do it, and no one can blame them There is no part of these increases that is profit to the merchants These increases are simply tribute exacted by the monopolistic transportation companies, and the consumers always have to finally pay such tribute. These increases are merely additional cost to the merchant, and he has got to add this cost to his} prices, just as he would have to add to his prices if he had to | pay more money to the wholesaler for his goods. Any other procedure would mean loss or ruin to the merchant. This is a very simple proposition, but it is really one of the hardest to impress upon the masses. A man walks into a store and buys a shovel, or a suit of clothes, or a hat, or some | other necessity, and perhaps kicks about the price, and yet never thinks that he has anything to do with creating that price. fet he is finally responsible for the existence of transportation Yet t finally fr ble for th f ¢ portat monopolies and their power to extort abnormal dividends through the price of that shovel, suit or hat. He is rather dis posed to look on the merchant as a gouger, and yet really all the merchant does is to pass the customer's tribute on to the/ transportation extortronist. Through geographical location and physical barriers the entire Pacific coast is at the mercy of transportation monopo- Ties, who can skin the producers going eastward and the con-| sumers coming westward. It isa cinch. It is likely to continue} so long as there is any considerable feeling at Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles that “anything to beat San Francisco” is all} right, and a similar spirit at San Francisco toward her sister | Coast cities. SECOND NATURE, HABIT | That which we call fate is a web of our own weaving Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated thoughts | aad acts. What he at first chooses at last compels. You can as easily snatch a pebbie from gravitation’s! grasp as you can check your thought or act from following the} force of habit. The most important act of life is a stone in the structure) of character and destiny. | Habit is second nature. It either increases the efficiency} and ease of our work in/life, or renders our work more difficult) and ineffective. Practically every achievement of the human race is but} the accomplishnient of habit. The habit of industry makes a man a marvel of efficiency, even though he be unlearned. The habit of cheerfulness—of always looking on the bright side of things—is worth more than a college education. We oiten excuse ourselves for foolish deeds and words on| the groun? that a sitvation comes to us suddenly and we act| involuntarily, before we have time to rally our mental and moral forces. This is true enough explanation of these particu- lar acts, but the responsibility lies further back. Situations are continually occurring to us when we do have time to think, and as we think and act at leisure we will think and act in sud-| den crises. As we decide rightly or wrongly, carefully or carelessly, in lie little things of every day, so will we decide in the severe tests of life that make or crush us The great object of all education, but particularly of self-education, should be to train the brain and nervous system so that they will ever be our allies instead of our enemies Carnegie wants the prohibitive tariff on steel removed.
