OREGON APPLES ARE IN DEMAND Consul at Southampton, .England, Writes of Karket There for Ore- i gon-grown Fruit Demand Con stantly Increasing. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 2 Consul Swalm, of Southampton, Eng land, reports that Imports of apples in cases at; Southampton hare greatly Increased in tho past two years, a growth to which tho orchardlsts ot tho state of Oregon have contributed largely. Oregon wrapped and select ed case apples havo been on tho Eng lish market for years, and have won an enviable place. Tho financial results ot tho second year of this fruit In the Southampton market led a number of Oregon growerB to do their own shipping and conslKning. with a view to direct trading.1 Tho demoralizing effect of tlieso indiscriminate shipments can best bo known by concrete examples Tho season's first consignment of choice Oregon Jonathans sold quickly at $3 per case at quayside, with a demand hooked that would have taken the entire Jonathan crop from that state; hut between tho arrival at Southampton of tho first and sec ond consignments ono of 3000 cases of extra fancy Jonathans was sent to qovent Garden, in London, and sold at auction at J 1.50 to ?2 per case, tints naturally demoralizing the local market. , Tho result was that Instead Tf a well regulated sale of that apple at good prices throughout the season, tho early buyers found themselves in competition with dealers whoso fruit had cost them much loss. A con signment of Spitzenburgs netted Us Oregon grower 2.75; soon after ward tho samo variety was auctioned off at Covent Garden at $2 per case, netting tho grower of that shipment n,bout $1. Another species was sold at Southampton at $1.80 not, but Covent Garden auctioned a consign ment of the samo kind of apples at $,1.G0 and less, freight and commis sion, to bo deducted. A somewhat different roBult was obtained, to tho Oregon apple, known iu Southampton as tho Winter Ba nana. Control ot tuiB variety foil into tho hands ot ono man, who Ju diclously fed tho consignment to tho market at constantly advancing juices, tho actual sales in lots bolng at $4 to JC not to tho producor. t England's purchases of apples from tho wt'Bt aro of vast importance tp tho American orehardist. If tho grower is rightly advised and follows t good business policy, ho can ho sure of profJtablo roturns in Southampton innrkot, but ho must keep control of his shlpmentB, novor allowing tho Co Vent Garden auction to mnko him a victim.

F.- ' N .' . THE DWAlfllTES, TT SEEMS lo bo tho unltyluimto fnlo oC labor to oon Jl Hnuiillv oxnlt orooks. thiiirs. dvnaimtois and urnl'ters, who, masquoradini? in the upon their toiling victims, and sooic to povnoiuaie men leadership through aets of insane violence. Crimes commuted in the name of labor are seldom tho work of tho toiler, but rather of those whom our socialist friends call in other classes "parasites," the walking dele gate aud agitator who live upon and by others' toil. Union ism is not to blame for the dynamiters, yet it is unionism that suffers by their cowardly outrages. The Metfamnras are unspeakable. Their moody nanus have not only wantonly and needlessly sacrificed innocent humanity, but they have imposed upon the confidence and bctraved the faith of millions of honest workmen; who were led to believe them champions of the cause of labor, attacked by organized greed. Onlv contempt can be the portion of Clarence Darrow, ., r . ., i i. i i-a. j. it who smote the rock of public credulity that a golden stream of revenue might gush forth from the pockets ot the poor. Knowing from the beginning the guilt of these dynamiters, ho vehemently protested their innocence to a misguided people, that he might reap an enormous fee from the scantv savings of the toilers. No capitalist, not even General Otis, ever exploited the people more thoroughly than the MeNainnras and their defenders, phnrisees of altruistic beliefs and humanitarian professions. Their graft was nation-wide and they kept at it until the coils had so tightened that the ease was hopeless. Caught bribing a juror, the game was up, and the dynamiters confessed to save lives not worth the saving. And now we are told by the Associated Press that "the principles of the teachings of Jesus and the golden rule settled the MeNaniara case"! "What a travesty upon re ligion! "What parody upon the golden rule! Not the Cost of Living, but the Standard of tLiving Has Gone Up By E. J. Kenny in the American Maga'tie for November, 1011. As a boy In the early '70s 1 rc momber going to the store for my mother and paying nothing less, than $1 per pound for tea. Flour was C or 7 cents per pound. Sugar was S to 10 cents, coffeo 40 and 45 cents. A pair of high boots, such as I wore in the winter, cost $7.50 or $S, and to mako them last they were copper toed. My father was a country par son with never more than $1000 per annum. I'm a free lance, earning from $2300 to $4000. 'Is true, I'm no better off than was my father, but tho fault is mine, not the cost ot necessities. I pay GO cents a pound for tea, 3 or 4 cents for flour, 5 to 7 cents for sugar, 29 to 35 cents for coffee, $3.50. to $4 for tho boots without protectors. Then why Is it so7 Simply this: I have altered the wholo plan of living as compared with ray father's time, and Instead of doing the thousand and one things personally which my parents did for themselves, I employ others to do thom for me, and, of course, have to pay them. Tho Cost of a Steak Depends on Handling. A dollar Is not a unit of gold, but a unit of labor. Now, labor Is dear in this country because it is scarce, and for no other reason. TIs true, I pay 25 cents a pouna for steak, but this is not duo to a beef trust or robber this or robber that, but because of tho manner In which I demand my steak shall bo bandied and handed to mo beforo I will recolve and pay for It. As a matter of fact, I could not havo ob tained such a steak at 50 cents per pound fifteen years ago. Market Ilnsket Hotter Tlian Telephone, It I do as my daddy did, get up In the morning, take my market basket aud walk to tho places whero tho samo quality of food and vegetables as ho bought aro still handled, I will get them at the samo price. Dut If I demand my steaks and chops brought to my door, handled from tho day tho animal was born In tho most Intelligent and scientific man ner, fed and killed In up-to-dato con ditions, hauled to mo In automobiles, wrapped In wax papor and delivered by a boy in a clean white apron, I havo to pay for tho labor Involved. Twenty-five Cents Iluys Hotter Meal. Again, ns a boy In tho early '80s, working as a clerk for flvo dollars per week, In Philadelphia, I received GO cents for supper money when wo wore required to work oxtra. Of courso, I hunted up a 2G-cent place to eat, so that the other quarter would buy somo amusement or othor. Today, for 2G cents, I can get a hot ter meal In Now York restaurants of tho samo class, tho latter bolng much cleaner. In short, it Is not tho cost of liv ing that has gono up, but tho stand ard ot living. All tho howling wo country boys brought up on a dollar,-a'day stand ard oimy do is usoloss, so long as wo try to muJo our now ten-dollarra-day 'income pay for a flfteen-dollar-a-day stylo, I tried housekeeping in Lon don In 1004. Routed a furnished nmnilo of a just oauso, proy house, in tho southeast section, New Cross. Kept the same woman who had worked for the rogulnr occu pants. Wo trlod to live on our reg ular Now York Harlem-flat standard. Tho woman opened her oyes, so did we, at tho bills. Yes, living is cheaper in London, but only by the London-living standard. So It Is in New York, If we stick to the sque dunk standard. Lnttorlng Clns Live Ilcttrr. Dut tho laboring man? A few years ago wo had no such man in America. He doesn't exist today In certain parts of New York, Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Texas, or any other state. Wo hear a lot about his suffering on the East Side. Go look where he enmo from. As a matter of fact, ho doesn't know how to llvo any hotter than ho docs. He is living so much better than he did, that ho can hardly stand it. I, an American by eight or ten generations ot rosidenco here, went to school with boys and girls ot tho samo class; patches on my pants and boots woro common, also on those ot tho other boyB. My boy goos with tho children of fathers who do not yet wear a hat and mothora to whom a shawl Is still enough, and yet I look In vain for tho patchos on their pants or copper on tho toes of their shoes. Comparison of Hank Statements Proves It. Finally, I would suggest a compari son of the. savings banks' statements of today, ten years ago, twenty years Lago; and bo on. They roprosont tho results of labor In tho United States. Take tho per capita average. In England, Franco and Germany, tho great tnlddlo class uso tho savings banks to an extent unknown hero by tho samo class of people. Don't for got that. E. J.

' Tho "big" bouts proved to ho tho shortest and most unevenly inntchcd, while tho small ones were lively affairs. Joo Ulff easily defeated Gunboat Smith in tho third round. Followers of tho Gunboat woro constantly ex pecting their champion to turn loost with a broadside of 12-Inch guns, but somebody had substituted foot balls for the cannon balls and Biff canio out ot tho engagement un scathed. Young Wolgast, a llknblo lad with a sweet smile, took tho. honors of tho evening by displaying real class as a boxer. Ills opponent Drlscoll dc cldod ho had enough in tho third.
