EL PASO PRICES- ARE
AS COMPARED WITH OTHER CITIES
THOSE El Ptrcani who have lately traveled is other
states or hare spent some time is the east or north
are in a position to compare EI Paso prices with prices rat-
ing elsewhere. Also a comparative examination of the ad-
vertisements published in the daily papers of other cities
gives a fair notion of how things are gefa.
1 Paso prices are generally lower than prices ia -qther
places of equal or greater population irrespective of what

some commodities of commerce particularly is tMsgs sot
classed as necessaries.
El Paso merchants do sot as a rale add freigSt dttier-
estials to their retail prices. They serer hare dose so at
least sot is the last doses years or more. There used to
be a time when some merchants ased to talk freight rates
in framing excessive prices hot merchants of good stand-
ing so longer do that for they are intelligent enough to
assume that their customers are almost as intelligent as
they themselves are; and the pnblk has bees fairly well
educated on the subject of what proportion of average re-
tail price of all but the. most bulky and heavy eonimoai-
ties freight rates account for. Freight rates affect eoal.
and stoves and furniture aad plate glass asd ires safes
and lumber and printing paper aad machinery; bet they
do not greatly affect the price level Of the Hurt is the ordi-
nary retail trade clothing food drags and notions for
example.
Persons who have "kept hoose" itveasters northern or
westers cities and' is El Paso fhrd that ordinary prices
here of household accessaries rnfradiag food domestic serv-
ice and the public utilities are below the average for cities
of El Paso's aise
Persons who have had octssiss to price clothing for
men and women or household forxtt&biogs sacs as oarpets
rugs hangings asd special foraftare aad utensils know
from their own experience that they cenfcl net bay these
things of equal grade in other cities at retail asd pay the
treignt so JU paao wunent spending a goea seal mere uas
the tame things cost here.
Labor ia the traMisg trades and is other trades is a boat
in line with other cities; there is so great "Bulge" here in
any line of skilled employment. Workfegrsea know that
they can live more cheaply here this they ceaH is other
places where the mosey wage assy he higher at the moment.
Restaurants hotels and mo vies is El Paso are sot
above the average of city prices.
Prices on a lot of things of common ate sacs as plamh-
ing fixtures interior1 hardware automobile accessories
tools aad musical instruments are pretty well standard-
ircd these days aad El Paso shows ao tendency to charge
excessively for these things.
As to clothing for men asd women that may be had
here at any price one cares to pay; a
himself tor sio or He aught pay 5O0; it is largely a qses-
tion of taste habit pride aad thrift or care is shopping.
Take a city like Sew York or Paris oae can pay $15 for
a necktie on the hoolevards aad the avenaes asd step

nothing for women especially is priced largely ea the
bans of novelty aad egcfasivinm. When a fresh stock
arrives the first choice aatazaHy costs sure. 'When it is
picked over down go the prices to move the stock. There
is a remedy for "high cost of living ia this feeartment of
expenditure within reach of every woman aad that is
to wait until the novelty is worn off or an til the "exclu-
sive" becomes common. If a woman pays $100 for a "hat"
it is not a head covering che is after hot something over
which she can gloat for a few brief days at the expense
of her rivals; or at best she is paying for a work of art

masterpiece would sot cost ISO today perhaps hot that

tianity was not attended by civil

ers in spreading knowledge and cul-
ture not only in Ireland but tbiossah-
ont the continent of Europe. From
the fifth century to the ninth Ireland
was regarded as the seat of learning
in the western world and Irish scholars
were distinguished at all the courts
aad in all the centers of European cul-
tural progress.
English aggression in Ireland began

and conquests of "Henry IL The last
800 years have been marked by strug-
gles of Ireland to disengage" herself
from the English yoke accompanied by
factional or civil wars in Ireland. A

part of Ireland remained reconquered
by the English who were not able to
assert entire possession until 1603.

1.000.000 acres more were confiscated
aad divided among protestants severer
laws than ever were enacted against
the Catholics and there ensued a cen
turv of reunions and political conflict
dunnr which time many stint societies
were formed.
At the time of the American aad
French revolutions most of the restric-
tive aad penal laws against Catholics
were repealed. By coercion and bribery
use legislative union of the two coun-
tries was brought about in 1800.
Catholics now have all civil rights ex-
cent that they not hold the offiee
of lord chajtcelor and lord lieutenant.
The rest is modern history.
Fifty years ago began the efforts of
England earnest enough irat generally
misjudged' to repair some of the er-
rors of the past. Law after law has
been enacted in the interest of the
people of Ireland the tenants and
workers and with the aim of freeing
them from intolerable burdens. Ireland
has very many more seats in the par-
liament of the kingdom than she ia
entitled to oa a population basis.
I havie alluded to the intense love of
learning among the earliest Christiana
in Ireland. This interest extended to
the fine arts including music and il-
luminating or book drcoration. It is
said by some cmnmentators that the
Irish did more than any other people
to keep alive the spark of the world's
ait ore sad intellectual and spiritual
enliahtesment during the darkest of
the dark ages. Scholars eame to Ire-
la ul front all over the known world
to ttsaspMe their education and Irish
scholars carried the lamp of knowledge
to resaotest parti. Ireland escaped the
barbaric invasions .and while the rest
of the world was being engulfed Ire-
land was passing through a period of
comparative tranquillity favorable to
the conservation and development of
all things valued in what we call drj-
liaatiOB. "
Ireland today cannot be compre-
hended even remotely without some ac-
count being taken of Irish literature.
In no other country has the literature
been more original or more typical in
no other has the literature had greater

Ireland and yet by reflection and the
filtering through of ideas from one
class te another all this counts in the
scale and has a bearing on the problem.
The tragedy of Ireland is a world
tragedy. A nation and a race that ia
ages past prodnced so many and so
great leaders ia the struggle upward
must have had must have marvelous
endowment. While Ireland today is
not in the van of the world's progress
in anv sense men and women of Irish
birth and ancestry in every corner of
the universe are carrying' on the work
true to their blood and their faith. If
Ireland had been permitted to develop
free from Fnglish misrule what great
things might she not have sccomlished!
Yet if life had been easy there and
conditions congenial 4000.000 Irish
would not have left Ireland to breed
strong sen aad women and strengthen
nations across the seas. Take the
Irish aad the Scotch-Irish out of our
own national life and. his history aad
think what a difference there would
have been in the coarse of events. Not
a country of western Europe but has
felt this powerful influence. Canada
Australia what of them ?
The world may count all this some
rompensatiOH but Ireland does not.
Things cannot go on in Ireland as they
have Men going. England has failed;
she has had 800 years to try and has
failed. What is she going to do about
it? What onght she do about it!
What ought Ireland and the Irish do
about it?
