THE Wichita board of trade has issu-
ed circular calling Farmers Con-
ventiOn' to be held at Wichita on
December 18th. The object Of the
convention, it is stated, is to discuss
the question of corn raising il! Kansas.
Our candid opinion is that the
Wichita board Of trade is thinking
more OF the advantage it would be to
Wichita to get large delegation of
Weil-tO-do farmers to visit that city and
be shown its wonders than Of the good
that might result To the farmers by
reason of the convention. If Wichita
would call convention, whose object
should be the hunting up and hanging
OF few unprincipled associate press
reporters and special correspondents. to
eastern papers who have lately so
grossly he'd alb put Western Kansas no
doubt large delegation would be sent

THIS Is BUSINESS.


men of city the solicitor for newspa-
per advertising will meet with many
queer answer. Not an unfrequent
answer we are meet with is: "Well, l
know it pays to advertise; but the
epolitics Of your paper does not suit me,
and if l have any money to spend it will
be spent with ethe paper which agrees
with my political belief" and.so on, I'd
intinitan,. If it ''pays to advertise"
why does it not pay to conduct your
advertising like you conduct any other
branch of your business, in business
manner?
When customer goes into a store
to buy goods he never thinks Of what
may be the politics of the storekeeper.
He dOee not say: 1T will pay me to
deal with you, acknowledge that, but
you don't agree with me in politics,
and must buy my goods Of those who
do" If a business man desires to rent
a store room he goes where he can get
the best location for the least money,
and it will not make any difference to
him what are the politics of the land
lord; and all men with an eye to business
should look at adver Using in the same
, manner.
OF course this little lecture is given
to the business men of Great Bend for
a purpose. That purpose is to try and
convince you that the space for sale by
this paper is not valued according to
the politics of the paper but according
to the number of people it reaches in
. Great Bend and Barton county.
When taking charge of the DEMO
Graf we determined to make of it such
a paper as would be desired for it's use
fulness as a weekly gatherer and dis
tributer of the news; and with this end
constantly in view we have been re-
warded by good, healthy increase of
= our subscription list.
The DEMOCRAT now reaches the
homes Of most of the democrats in
Barton county, and the homes of many
republicans. 1t is read for the news
there is in it. The advertiser can
readily see that it is as good medium
through which he can reach large
number Of people, as can be found in
the city. Our rates are most reason
able, and printing as we do an eight
page paper we have an opportunity of
Offering man almost any position for
his advertisement.
The holidays are approaching and the
class of goods carried at this season of
Che year should be closed out Dis quick
party feeling, but consult your own in
terests in a business way and place
your advertising accordingly.

He continued:

an internal tax on lumber and that this had
nothing whatever to do with the tariff tax

effective That was at time when we were
