PAnADES A FEATURE .
Parades, with red fire and bands, will bo
held on the night of each of these meetings.
Plans that hud been previously made for
a monster torchlight parade up and down
Broad street on the night of tho Academy
of Muslo meeting have been abandoned by
the Republican leaders and the city com
mittee, because of a law which they have
discovered prohibiting such a parade within
ten days of election.
On the night of each rally, however, the
various Republican clubs throughout the
sections where the meetings are held will
march with bands and red fire to the places
where the rallies are held. This wU occur
In all sections of the city. r
On the night of the Academy meeting It la
planned to have the clubs march singly, or
in groups of two or three, to the Academy.
They will come from all parts of tho city,
and even without an organized old-time
torchlight parade Philadelphia on that night
should look Just as? It did on big town mass
meeting nights during campaigns ten and
twenty years ago.

TWO BIG FIRMS GIVE
TRADE TO NEW SHIP LINE
Continued from Vase One
In notifying tho Chamber of his company's
action, said'
"I saw the representative of the New
York house yesterday and expressed a de
sire on our part to havo all his purchases
of our goods shipped via the new line, pro
vided the line was wilting to quoto the same
price as could bo obtained out of New
York. In fact, we went so far as to state
that wo would concede them an amount
equal to the freight from hero to New York
and would also make delivery to the docks
at Philadelphia. This Is something thnt
we have not hitherto done. Seeing how
actively you aro pursuing the subject of
tho South American line, t should bo very
plensed If ou would glvo mo a few min
utes before tho meeting of the export man
agers to further dlscuis this subject "
SHIP VIA PHILAW'-LPHIA
11 Ii Klehl. of the export department of
thn Knterprlse firm, advised tho Chamber
as follows
'The New York house has virtually given
us permission to ship their goods via the
new Philadelphia, lino to South America.
Wo hnvo taken steps to get their order out
In time so thnt wo can have the goods
ready for steamer sailing, we believe, No
vember IS. You may rest assured that wo
will nlwavH glvo Phltaaelphla linos the
preference when It In posstblo to do so,
although the Now York exporters usually
prefer attending to their own shipments
from New York. Wo hnvo had a call from
John D. Dennett, representing the new line,
and wo win arrange with him to rcservo
spare on the next Btcnmer for this partlcu
lnr'shlpmcnt." Morca-Montcmnycr A Co. said:
"We hope to be able to avail ourselves
of the facilities offered by the Philadelphia
and South American line."
AMPLE TONNAQB
Herman Wright, president of the new
company, returned to Philadelphia from
New York today nnd emphasized the fact
that there will be ample tonnage to send a
ship to Soujh America once a month, assur
ing the success of the venture. The addi
tion of 1200 or 1500 tons from this city.
In nddltlon to the surplus from the West.
would mean that two steamers coutd clear
port every month, he said. He asserted that
there are on hand enough contracts from
out-of.town firms to keep a line of steamers
running for a year
If Philadelphia exporters, when quot
ing prices to New York commission men.
would give them one price f. n. s. New
York and quote another price f a. s. Phila
delphia, which would lo less the freight
charges from Philadelphia to Now York,
there Is no doubt that tho New York firms
would see a great money-a.lng "
N" II. Kelly, the secretary of the Cham
ber today notified the chairmen of the
thirty trade groups Into which the mem
bership Is divided nt otic to call meetings
of the executive committees of their groups
for open dlscuiMon of the subject nnd to
deride on such action ns yhnll be taken sue
rcssfully to combat the underhand methods
of tho British shipping Interests that are
leaving no stono unturned to abolish the
new line,
Frank N. Poo. In chnrge of the Rureau
of Foreign nnd Domestic Commerce of tho
Chamber of Commerce, who Is largely re
sponsible for whatever success has attended
the establishment of tho Philadelphia-South
American Line, said that thero was no
guarantee given by the Chamber of Com
merce for 1200 tons of freight a month
from Philadelphia to South America, as Is
generally supposed Such a guaranteo was
atked for. but the onty guaranteo the
Chamber would give, he said, was that
every effort would bo made by the Chamber
to provide that amount.
"Thoro are." ho continued, "three large
shippers In Philadelphia who could easily
guarantee 1B00 tons of fielght a month
from' this nort to South America, If they
only had enough clvio prldo to do so. If
It should eventually happen that tho line
Is withdrawn from this port It will bo the
fault of Philadelphia exporters, who look on
trilling temporary reduction Ir. freight rntes
as of more lmportnnro than tho building w
of their own port nnd city." w
Asked If thire was uny gunrnntee de
manded bv the owners of tho lino or prom
ised by the Chamber of Commerce of re
turn cargoes from South America, Mr, Poo
said there was not. "Hut." he ndded. "no
steamship lino would undertake such a trip
without a moro than reasonable certainty
of full return cargo : they could not ufford to
do otherwise"

Why Not a
Pure Piano Law?
J
i Had the writer been in some other line
of business and anxious to get the best
piano value offered, what would be the
proper thing to do? Take up the various
newspapers, read the advertisements, study
and digest them! And what conclusion
would be reached? Almost all piano adver
tisements speak of beautiful instruments
and great values, but do not explain why
those values can be had at their establish
ments, as they are simply dealers in pianos,
buying and selling for a profit and know
ing little or nothing of construction and
durability.
If When you are buying your food supplies,
the farmer politely tells you he has to raise
the price of milk as the inspectors will not
permit him to use Water; the baker tells you
he must advance the price of bread as flour
is higher than it has ever been, and the
grocermen and meat dealers bluntly inform
r you that products are higher and they must
charge accordingly. Had the pure food laws
not been in force, the farmer might add a
little water and inferior products would
pass muster.
IT We only wish there were some thor
oughly posted and strictly honest govern
ment inspectors understanding piano con
struction. Then there would be no question
as to the great piano value we are offering
to the public in a Cunningham-made
player-piano for $450 and on easy' weekly
or monthly payments, without interest or
extras. ,
