A WORD REGARDING
OUR PRICES
A STORE which carries high
grade goods is often known
as "high-priced" without in any
way deserving the term. It is the
penalty for keeping the best. "We
have now and then noticed this in
our own case, although any shop
per who has occasion to make com
parison knows that "quality con
sidered, our prices are always the
lowest." This isn't mere advertis
ing. ' AVe inviie any woman to
make such a comparison, always
remembering 1'iat second-grade
goods never iii;i-i;uei'aie here as
"the best."

Ignores Leaders in Appointments.
KEEPS HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGE
Acts as Governor of All the
People of the State.
WOODRUFF HAS GIVEN UP
Seeing Uselessness of Trying to Dic
tate Appointments, He Goes to
Europe Parsons Jarred
by I.eary's Success.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2. (Special.)
That Governor Hughes is running an
absolutely bossless administration was
emphasized today when Timothy 1
Woodruff, enalrman of the Republican
state committee, officially announced
thiit ho was going to Europe.
"There does not seem to be anything
here that requires my personal atten
tion at the present time," he said, and
he never smiled. Woodruff realizes
that his . word carries absolutely no
weight at Albany and, like a prudent
man, he Is going away, dismally hop
ing that "absence will make the heart
grow fonder."
It was a political secret, carefully
and obtrusively circulated, that Wood
ruff only took the state chairmanship
after having been assured that the
first vacancy in tiie United States Sen
ate would belong to him. But should
Thomas C. Piatt or Chauncey M. Ie
pew die nobody in the state now be
lieves that Mr. Hughes would name
Mr. Woodruff as his successor. For
Air. Hughe;! does not like Mr. Wood
ruff personally, nor does he trust him
politically, and he is thoroughly con
vinced that he would have carried
Brooklyn last Fall had It not been for
the fact that the former Lieutenant
Governor Is mightly unpopular among
his neighbors. In which opinion, It
might be added, the rank and file of
his party heartily agree with the Gov
ernor. Ituns Machine Himself.
Ever since Mr. Hughes took office
the uninformed press has written more
or less about, the "private wire between
the Governor at Albany and the Presi
dent at the White House." The truth
of the matter is, as one State Senator
confessed today, "the Governor is run
ning the whole blamed machine him
self and nobody can stop him with a
red light or an ax."
County Chairman Herbert Parsons,
leader of New York County, was told
by the Governor that he would not ap
point Lewis Swazey as Superintendent
of Elections. Mr. Parsons scurried to
Washington, and then hastily back
tracked to Albany.
"The President," he said to the Gov
ernor, "does not think William ieary
is a good man for the Job." Mr. Hughes
smiled, that sadly lrank smile that has
already worried and mystified the poli
ticians. "I am so sorry," he said.
That was in the morning. The same
evening he sent Mr. Leary's nomina
tion to the Senate. Mr. Leary was
confirmed and is now hard at work.
Perhaps young Mr. Parsons, who is
a Congressman, misrepresented the
President. Perhaps he did not. Any
way Mr. Hughes clearly Indicated that,
as he is the man who Is responsible
for appointments, he intends to be the
"court of final resort'" himself.
Governor for All the People.
Though the office of Superintendent
of State Elections Is not one 'of the
larger state positions, and Its occu
pancy by any particular man is not re
garded as of great importance, the flat,
though polite, refusal of the Governor
to accept dictation from the fountain
head of Republican authority, is be
lieved to be of superlative interest and
significance. The few men who have
learned of the episode say that it
proves beyond question or cavil many
things and It disproves with equal cer
tainty many other things. They say
that among the things proved are, first,
that Charles Evans Hughes has taken
the word of the people of New York
State that they wish him to be Gov
ernor, and that his own Judgment, and
not that of another or group of others,
is his court of last resort. Second, that
he does not intend his appointments to
be humlliative for Mr. Woodruff or
Mr. Parsons or the Wadsworths, or
anybody else; and, third, that he is not
Intentionally building a machine for
himself or strengthening the machine
of another. In other words, he is lit
erally carrying out the programme
which he laid out for himself during
the campaign, to be the Governor, not
of a faction or a party, but of all the
people of the Empire State.
Machine Men Can't Believe.
Of course -you cannot make Mr.
Woodruff or Mr. Aldrldge or Mr. Hen
dricks or Lou Payn or any of the other
powerful leaders believe this. They are
one and all confident that the Governor
is building a political machine of his
own and each and everyone of them
wants to get on the band wagon. S they
have paid many visits to Albany and
devoted hours to explaining to the
Governor how the appointment of John
Doe or Richard Roe would strengthen
the party In their particular localities,
and Mr. Hughes has listened to one
and all, patiently and with courtesy,
and then gone ahead and named the
man- he thought best fitted for the
office.
So the little politicians are in a
state of bewilderment, and the big
politicians are In a state of mental
anguish, and not one of them has yet
been able to size up the big solitary
man at Albany, who has nothing to
say, but quietly does big things that he
thinks are for the good of the people.
Charles Evans Hughes has not yet
said one unpleasant thing about any
Republican politician, and, what Is
more Important, he has not yet done
one thing that, these same politicians
heartily indorse. Mr. Woodruff is the
first one of the crowd to "got wise" to
the situation. And, to save his dignity.
Is going to Europe. His associates,
however, are still visiting Albany at
intervals, dancing attendance on a
Governor whom they do not under
stand, but who has carefully appraised
each and every one at his true value.
Should AH Go to Europe.
If Mr. Woodruff had any real love
for hl3 associate leaders In the Repub
lican party, he would Induce them to
Join him on his trip to the Holy Land,
or wherever it may be that he is
bound. But Mr. Woodruff is absolute
ly lacking in political affection or
humor so he will sail away in soli
tary, sulky dignity, and wonder how
It Is the party t an got along without
him.
And In the meantime Charles E.
Hughes will do the i-arvliiK at the
Capitol In Albany, and there will be
little or nothing served out to the
"regulars." Kvcrythinpr considered,
Timothy Ifc Woodruff is the wisest
machine Republican in New York
iftatc. I"or a carefree life on the ocean
wave beats helpless, hopeless political
panhandling at Albany.
OMAHA AFTER COAST TRADE
Trainload of Business Men Will Visit
Portland in June.
OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 2. (Special.)
Omaha manufacturers and Jobbers have
determined to make special effort to in
crease their trade territory in the North
west. For the past several years the
members of the Manufacturers' and Job
bers' Association, commonly known as
the Commercial Club, have been making
trade-boomins excursions throughout the
territory within a few hundred miles of
Omaha. At a recent meeting of the trade
extension committee of the afvoeiaiton, it
thus decided to make but one excursion
tills year, and that to cover the terri
tory reached by the Durllngton und the
Northern Pacific railroads in the North
west. Two weeks will be required to
make the trip, and every town of conse
quence on the route as far' West as Port
land' will be visited. The outgoing trip
will be made over the Burlington and
Northern Pacific, and the return over the
Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line.
The difference in distance from Omaha
to points on the Northern Pacific and
from 9t. Paul to same points is less than
a mile. Omaha business men believe that
If the right methods be adopted much
business can be gained that now goes to
St. Paul, Minneapolis, and other commer
cial centers. For some years a number of
Omaha houses have been regularly sup
plying goods to merchants of the North
west, and some of the larpe dry-goods
houses have branches In Pacific Coast
cities.
The trip will be made In June, and
about 100 of the business men, the man
agers of houses, will accompany the
train, which will consist of a number of
palatial Pullman cars.
JUDGE UPBRAIDS PRISONER
In Passing Sentence on Murderer,
He Denounces His Character.
HELENA. Mont., Feb. 2. Edward P.
Mason, a dishonorably discharged sol
dier, was found guilty this afternoon in
the Federal Court of killing Riley L.
Huff, September 11 last, at Fort Assinl
boine, and was sentenced to 10 years in the
penitentiary at Deer Lodge. Judge Hunt
said In part:
"I wish to say I never, during the time
I have been sitting on the bench, saw a
more depraved individual while on trial
than you. You are a gambler. Your asso
ciates have been harlots and lewd women.
You are a perjurer and confessed to com
mitting larceny."
Huff was found dead in his quarters
at the post four days after the commis
sion of the crime, with his head crushed
In. Later his watch was found on Ma
son. The evidence was purely circum
stantial. Mason's father is a prominent commis
sion merchant in New York.
HERETIC IS FORCED OUT
Cincinnati Preucher Too Liberal in
His Views to Suit Bishop.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 2. Rev. George
Clark Cox. rector of Calvary Church of
this city, last night resigned. His ac
tion is due to the resent letter of Bish
op Boyd Vincent, in which the latter
condemns the utterances of Mr. Cox as
heretical. After the appearance of the
letter of the bishop, Mr. Cox's support
ers advised him to resign.
The Cox case came to public notlco
through an open letter from tne clergy
man to Bishop Vincent, which was pub
lished in the Living Church, in which
Mr. Cox avowed Ills disbelief In the
Immaculate conception, bodily resur
rection and other vital doctrines of the
church. Shortly afterward an Informa
tion against Mr. Cox, charging him
with heresy, was filed with the stand
ing committee of the diocese.
Upon the failure of the committee to
find Mr. Cox liable for trial, the bishop
wrote to the church chronicle, express
ing his opinion on the matter.
