DID YOU HEAR THAT WHISTLE BLOW ?
Farewell lo I he old-timer and
pioneer, and farewell to this
stock, for I Jim slill hard at it;
marking and classifying and gen
erally straightening it up prep
aratory to moving it or storing it.
I thought by this lime I would
he out of business, hut there is
no use lo close while so many
people are anxious lo huy and I
have jus! what Ihey want. I sold
<S 135.05 yesterday and today's
sales look like I hey would be even
greater.
What I wish is In grt Mr. Stull's
money out of this stock* or as
much as I can, and that's the rea
son 1 hold on a few days.
I am sincere in all I say iu Ihese
lines and have tried not to ex
aggerate or mislead, which is the
general tendency" in ad. writing.
When I say I sell an article al
jost it would be absolutely cor
r«;ct lo say "far below costas
tlio original purchase price is litit
«a pari, of what is really charge
able lo cost. There is the inter
est. on investment, the transpor
tation, the breakage, the cost of
this sali' itself. Were I lo charge
2i> p'T cent profit I would not be
really tfettinfr the cost; hut L moan
by cost only tin* cost at the whole
salers, so figure it yourself.
There was a far larger rash
sale of tickets at I ho box ofTicc lo
I In*. Stfturday night show lhan I
expected, and it has cost "somo"
dollars lo pay I ho prizes, hut 1
have made my ofTer good.
The galantry of She gentleman
who was a I if in I he est imal inp
eonlesl was shown last night
when he dropped into my store
rnd asked me to announee that
he wished (lie.lady (Mrs. Top I iff)
l«» have the prize, so il is now |
tier's.' I will take pleasure in pre
senting it or if word is sent me as
In residence I will have it deliv
ered, as it is much loo large to
carry.
I am arranging to have a very
clever person lake over my optical
department. You can he properly
liJMi'd for very little cost hv one
who knows, ('all tomorrow.
I have laid several arlirles
usiih» upon request and would now
ask that you rail for them or re
nt'W your intentions or I shall
allow them to bo put back (in
slock Thursday. Most of them arc
in demand. Ilememher, I'll have
something I • • I •• 11 you tomorrow
night. Il will eost you.about. 50
rents if you ini-s il.

LIABILITY LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL
United States Supreme Court
Hands Down Decision of
Washington, Jan. Hi.--Tin1 su
preme court has handed down a
decision holding that the liabil
ity law is constitutional.
This is undoubtedly the con
gressional act. of April 22. l'J08,
which was passed after the su
preme court in January, 1908, de
cided the first employers' liability
act, that of June 1 1, 1906, to be •
unconstitutional because it. was
so drawn as to cover commerce
wholly within a state, over which
congress has no power. The new
act specifically applies to "every
common carrier by railroad while
engaging in commerce between
any of the several states or ter
ritories," or between states ^nd
territories or stales or territor
ies and foreign nations.
The. object of the law is to ab
rogate the fellow-servant. rule,
which enabled employers to de
feat any action for damages by
an employe if he was injured
through the negligence of a co
employe. I
The act of 1900 was declared \
unconstitutional by a decision ]
found in 207 U. S. Reports, page j
103. The opinion was by Jus- \
lice While, now chief justice, and j
was concurred in by Chief Justice j
Fuller and by Justices Brewer, j
Peckhain and Day. Justices j
Moody, Marian. McKenna and j
Holmes dissented, holding the j
law constitutional.
Later, in a case found in 215 <
IT. S., page 87, wherein the cause i
of action arose in New Mexico, j
the supreme court unanimously '
decided that the act of 1900 was .
consitutional in Vlie territories ,
because congress has plenary |
power In govern the territories. |
This wipes out the fellow-servant ,
rule in Alaska, so far as operat
ing railroads and steamship lines
are concerned. * <
