ADVERTISING NECESSARY.


 The increase in the number of what are called "departmer-" stores-but
 which are in fact the old country stores" magnifed-has become a seri-
 ous matter 10 small retail dealers in
 some cites, and it is now proposed to
 put into operation a syetem by which the small stores can compete with the
 larger ones.
 The prime reason for the great sue cess of the department stores is the
 fact that they generally and almost
 entirely sell for cash and are able to rates and thus undersell the small dealers. To overcome this an associ- alton of retail dealers has been formed
 in Illinos which will buy goods in considerable quantities and then dis tribute them among the small business houses in the association. They will thus be able to meet the prices of the larger concerns and perhaps recover considerable lost trade. There are two feature that must be taken into consideration by every merchant whether he be big or lit,le as to the extent of his dealings.
 The department stores practically insist upon cash transactions, thus turning over their money quickly and making it possible to sell on a small margin of profit. Then these big con- cerns make a point of advertising their goods day after day, in dull seasons and in busy seasons. They always keep themselves before the public and naturally attract customers If the Illinois association of retail dealers can succeed in buying goods in bulk and thus insure prices that compete with their richer rivals they will have made beginning But they must next adopt cash system and advertise freely what they have for sale Pur- chasers go to the department stores because they get what they want for the lowest price and because it is con- venient for them. If the small deal CTS offer the same inducements and make the fact known they will recover some of their lost trade. But cash sales and advertising are abso- lutely necessary

WHY DIDN'T IT zANsWER7

II is not our hope to induce the Pres colt Courier to argue this question of mining stock jobbing schemes. As well might one try to teach a hound pup to sing The Jewel Song" or any old song, for that matter. The Courier, through the natural limitations of it's guiding spirit, confounds personal abuse with argument, and 1t dives in to the purlieus for coarse expressions to be employed against it's opponents. h case like the present one where the mining schemers attacked have plenty of money it is not strange that the Courier should be extraordinarily y abusive. That IS the kind of 'argu- ment" the fakirs want and are willing to pay for. Waiving as we do all thought of getting the Courier 10 stand up to the scratch and fight this matter out fairly and squarely, wi%hout biting or gouging or kicking or striking un- der the belt we still insist that our fshwife contemporary owes it to it's readers to tell them whether they would do well to buy Val Verde or Spenazuma stock IL is strange that this loud-mouthed defender of the common people, should entirely dis regard our request for it to declare itself on this important point Is it afraid?

 Fair-min1ed readers of the above
 will require 10 further evidence of the absolute dishonesty and lack of char act1r of the Courier The Republican printed the governors circular of warn ing, as any other e1terpriSing journal
 would have been glad to do The Courier took the part of the mining companies involved. Now. when We ask it if it advises the purchase of Val Verde stock it says it is not in the business of giving advice to people about their private affairs
 A more asinine confession was never made. The eCitor of the Courier lacks wit and sand" He takes refuge in Granite street, sending up howl, meantime. that The Republican is abusing him. He reminds us O. Johann Most, the celebrated anarchist. who was finally dragged from under bed by the New York pa lice. Most ta.kod loudly but was too much of a craven to stay in the open. His Arizona prototype bawls vociferously at long range. but when confronted with a strai ghtou1 proposition that is based on his atti- tude he crawls unGer the bed and says he is mot giving advice" The records will show that he has given more fool advice than any newspaper man in Arizona. But who could expect any thing less of a creature that would lug his private affairs into print to -ha extent of saying ''The cat has gone" and, later, "The cat came back?"

NEW NAME FOR UNITED STATES

A St. Louis college professor has risen to the emergency by suggesting that the United States must have a new name right away. He urges very cogently that scarcely anybody is sure whether the United States lis" or are that there is no der:vative ap- pellation by which to distinguish the citizens of the country. since "Ameri- can" applies to Mexicars and Chile ans, as well as to citizens of the great republic; that '-U. s. A" often bothers foreign postal clerks. He might add that foreigners take unconsCionable ltberSies with the name by 5ranslating it's adjective and substantive into the equivalents in their own tongue SC that our country's name becomes Dis Vereinigten Staaten" in German, and so forth
 The professor thinks "Usonia" is a nice name and he moves that it be adopted in place of the awkward The United States
 The dispatches do not say whether the motion is to be open to debate on the part of we UsOnians or whether it has already been put and carried. The question should, however. receive fur ther consideration-not that the pro fessor's idea can be proftably modi- fed, but that several other little mat ters may be reformed at the same time. For example. there is no doubt that the great width of the country IS a disadvantage, making travel between the two coasts long and tedious. The motion should be enlarged so as to provide that the land be called Usonia and that 8 tuck be taken in the middle of it-Chicago News

MORE COURIER ARGUMENTS. :


 cast unfavorable reflection on any one parent in the insinuation of the Pres colt Counter yesterday that the governor robbed his associates in connection w:.h the pur- chase of the Castle Creek hot springs and the building of the wagon road The parties interested in the Castle Creek hot springs property are the governors intimate and particular | friends. and if they were to recognize as deserving of attention the slanderous attack upon the governor above referred to. they would certain- ly denounce in no uncertain language such dirty political work.
 Again, the Courier says the Val Verde Copper Company, Limited. has paid the Prescott & Eastern Rail- read company s1O,OOO for tracks. spurs. etc.. and says the people back of this smeIter enterprise are none other than those viciously attacked by the governor. We are not inclined to ba- lieve that the Courier's reference to this smelting enterprise was submitted to c. G. Fennell, manager of the Val Verde Company, Limited. before the same was published In this connec- tion, and in order that the citizens Of Yavapai county and those generally honestly interested in the territory's welfare, may not be deceived by what EnTJTip1 i= 4n that the railroad company has agreed to refund every dollar of the money advanced by the Val Verde Copper Company, Limited. to cover cost os construction of this spur track to cts proposed smeIter. upon the smelter be- ing erected and operated as agreed with Mir. Fennel1. Consequently it will be observed that the railroad com pany has offered substantial aid to an enterprise that would seem to prom ise good deal to the miner, and in addition to giving this material as sistance the railroad company has gone further, as probably MT. Fennell tight be willing to explain. since the Courier has seen fit to attack the rail- road company and the Murphys. This is another case where the Murphys, if you please. are contributing indirectly to keep alive the sheet, as any general development or prosperity in the Vi- cinity of Prescott would naturally give the Courier a chance to gather in a few more dollars from innocent peo- pie. While the custom smelter tha: the Val Verde Copper Com pany, Limited, proposes to con struct bearS no perceptible re- lation to that company's mining prospects that are located some sixty miles north of Williams. and in no sense justifes the representations that were complained of by the gov ernor, The Republican wishes i.S well in this new departure. There ia no doubt but that the location selected for the erection of a custom smelter is in every way desirable. and if the par ties having the matters in charge hava sufficient money, abilfty and dispos.~ ton to conduct such an enterprise. the results should be in every way sati-- factory and every one should wsh the projectors God-speed.

ADVERTISING POINTERS.

A good catchline is often half the battle.
 It ts always possible to learn something from watching the advertising of others.
 All other things being equal, the catchline that is descriptive is apt to be the best.
 The best thing in an advertise ment is specific information about the article advertised.
 The bane of most business an nouncements is a superfu.ty of adjectives and adverbs.
 The newspaper is likely to be- come constantly a better me- dium, for every year the number of readers of it increases.

Both accusations are as stupid as they arc mendacious and malicious.
