SYMPATHY
ASUn.SCUIHHU writes to ask
with whom Tho Times sympa
thizes In thp present great Eu
ropean war. Wo'll answer thnt.
With tho Gormnn, French, Ilolglnn
nnd English boys who man tho
trenches. With tho Gorman, Froneh
English and tfulglnn boys who crowd
tho hospitals, with tho mothors who
boro 'thoso boys, with tho fathers
who Baw those hoys grow to ninn
hood and loved them us they grow
With tho women who woro wedded
to tlicHo hoys. With thu children
thoy loft whott they mnrchod to
tho front, with tho poor peasant
woman who struggles ngnlust tho
prosH of war engendered poverty.
With thoso who In trio cities cry out
for food. With tho men who fight
for fatherland, hating war In their
hearts. With tho grcnt nrtlsla llko
Krolslor who must turn tliolr mnr
velous molody producing flngorH to
works of destruction. With tho peo
ple who must live out tliolr days
with Hvob forovor blighted by this
war. With tho Innocent fnrnioru
whoso fluids havo boon trampled un
der foot by marching nrmles. With
all tho hoBt of thoso who under tho
press of a mlstnkou patriotism must
offer up tliolr lives. Thoso uro tho
onos with whom Tho TIiiich sympathizes.
IT IS A SWINDLE ON THE IllIV

ONE of tho many reasons for
tho Increased cost of living
la bollovod by somo business
men to bo tho growth ot the prnc-
tlco of Huhstltutlou.
A manufacturer tolls for yours
nnd Bpcuds much money to Invent
or promoto somo novelty thnt pos
hcssos particular morlt. At last ho
uuccoeds. Ho then seeks tho pro
toctlon of tho patent laws nud tho
trade mark, whoso object Is to safe
guard his JntorostH from Imitators
ot his product. Imagining hlmsolf
protected, ho launches his novelty
upon tho mnrkot.
Ho ndvortlses. Ho urob tho host
channels ot publicity. Ho Invosts
freoly In this medium. Tho merit
of tho now urtlclo Is quickly made
known to tho entire country, por
haps to tho whole world. It soil
well, nnd evon contributes material
ly to building up now fnutorlo or
now cnmmunltlofi.
Then the Imitator, ho who neither
tolls nor spins, but thrlvos on (ho
fruit of other men's bruins nud In
tho Hwont of other muu'u brows,
takes notice. Not content with Bull
lug tho orlgluutlvo man's article nud
profiting well from tho sale, the
Imitator sooka to substitute somo
thing "euually good."
This something never approaches
tho high quality of thu original. It
Is awnys "reconimondod," but It
never Is "guaranteon," norntiru tho
imitator knows that ho dure not
gunranteo It. It Is sold moro choup
ly than tho superior original novelty
and yields more profit to tho sullor.
On tho road no rest Is
Keep tho gonl In view,
