We feel that amnelhlng la surely gained In bringing this wicked fer mentation of antl-Calhollc and pro t'aibollc feeling to the level of dear minded and dispassionate dlaeuaalnn and we believe that both rrotestants and ('athiillca will profit by reading these articles The work of Tom Watson and that Inflamed publication "The Menace" are works of mlachlef and strife. They should be condemned by every Christ iajl organisation, without respect to sectarian prejudice* and preferences, on the simple ground that their appeal la an appeal to anger and hatred.

Billy I’lg started off on a trot down th* road, and lie fully Intended to obey his mother’s Instructions, but he had to cross a stream of water, and In stead of going over the little bridge ho walked under 11, and the muddy water felt so cool and smooth that he lin gered, and finally set down his basket and paddled about until he forgot all about the eggs.

"W here Is Hilly Pig this fine morning .' 1 suppose he Is working In the r rden.” “No, he ts on hi* way to market with a basket of eggs." said Madam Pig. "1 want some raisins and sugar to make a rake. If you happen to see him, tell him to hurry." "Indeed l will," replied Hlllv float, walking faster In the direction in which Billy Pig had gone. He hurried along, and suddenly he looked up and there was Billy Pig, pad dling In the stream under the little bridge.

He returned by another road, and, of course, did not meet Billy Pig. "1 knew you were In a hurry for the raisins and sugar, Madam Pig," he said, when she answered the knock on the door. "I saw the basket of eggs under a hush down by the bridge, and Billy Pig was having a good time paddling in the water. As I was going to mar ket anyway, I thought I would do him a kindness and take them along anJ help you at the same time.” Billy Goat smiled as he said this, an I Madam Pig thought he was a very thoughtful fellow. "Come right In, Billy Goat, and whon my cake Is baked you ahall have a big slice.” Billy Pig became tired after a w tflle of paddling, and then he thought of the eggs and what his mother had Bald when he started for market. He went to the bush but the eggs were gone, and he looked behind it. he looked all around, but nowhere could he find the basket Of eggs. Then Billy Pig began to cry, and wlitti he had obeyed, and not stopped to paddle In the water. When he reached the door of his house he oould smell the spicy cake, and he forgot all about the eggs for a mluuts, and ran into the kitchen. There sat Billy Goat eating a much larger piece of cake lhan Billy Pig ever had. “Where are the eggs you took to the market this morning?" asked hts mother, looking very angry. "Old black bear came out of the woods and took them away from me, and 1 have been all this time chasing him, trying to get them back," said naughty Bill Pig Billy Goat nearly choked trying not tc laugh when he heard this wrong story. As he went out of the yasd, Billy Goat heard something that sounded very much like crying, and he heard Madam Pig’s voice saying, "and you told a wrong story, too, which mad; It worse.

Although outnumbering all other classes by far, the consumer has never been ade quately protected. Being unorganized his battle has nearly without excep tion been a losing one. However, consumers are slowly realizing their powers as a class to day, and hence commissions are rap idly being created to consider their Just demands by our national, state and municipal legislative councils. High prices cause a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumer's dollar. Manifestly an injury has been done to those classes in the commun ity whose incomes are Influenced and sensitive to every variation and fluc tuation in prices by the curtailment of the purchasing, power.
