The growth of the Regal Shoe COM
pany from year to year is one Of the
many evidences of the value Of intelli-
gent, persistent advertising, backed up
by good merchandise and modern
business methods. Eleven years ago,
E. j. Bliss, the originator of the Regal
plan of selling Shoes. opened his first
New York store at 1341 Broadway.
This spring he has twenty-five stores
devoted exclusively to the sale of
Regal shoes in the New York metro
politan district. It is believed that
the Regal occupies more space in New
York city than any other retail mer-
chant handling but one line of goods.
New Regal stores are being opened
all over the country, fifteen being
added to the list this spring, making a.
total of seventy-five Regal stores in
the United States and England. ..
Mr.. Bliss spends thousands Of dol
lars in attractive windows. Last year;
his fbuzz-saws created great excite
ment. Last fall he used the Cooper
Hewitt mercury vapor lights to dazzle
and attract pedestrians. The Cooper
Hewitt light was scientific novelty
when it appeared in Regal windows.
Even the newspapers had heard very,
little of it, and the demonstration pro-
! duced a sensation.
| This spring Radiurn is being exhib-
| tied in the Regal windows. Mr.. Bliss
bought about all the available Radium
in the country and sent tubes of it
to each. store. Consequently 1t hap
pened that in many cities the first ex-
hibition Of radium ever seen by the
people generally was in the Regal
windows.
The Regal advertising campaign this
spring is very heavy. Liberal copy is
.being used in nearly all the leading
4 magazines and the newspaper work Is
| increased. Newspapers, however,
claim the bulk of the Regal appropria-
ton and the splendid success Of the
chain of Regal Stores. is noteworthy
example Of what can be accomplished

| huential American dailies. Il

neither read nor write. but fortunately
there were only 1881 of them. Rus
STA sent US 136,093 immigrants In all
with an hliteracy percentage Of about
50.
Against this the northern European
countries, from which the northwest
drew most Of Its settlers, afford a
striking contrast. Only per cent Of
the Germans coming in last year were
tlliterate and about per cent Of the
English, Scotch, Irish or Welsh. All
the other north European countries
showed up we'll, while the Scandinav-
ians sent us 77,561, Of which only 1
per cent was illiterate.
Surely there is crying need here for
reform. The country has immigration
laws, but in the face of this bad show
ing may well be questioned If they are
adequate. America Is a great coun-
try, capable Of absorbing and assimt-
lating a great influx of widely variant
types, but it does not seem possible
that the country can continue to be
dumping ground for southern Europe
without serious injury to public NOR
ais and public welfare.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Salaries Of steamship Captains.

Your friend Is right, altho some captains
may get not over $4,000. It is presumed
that Commodore Cameron of the White
Star fleet and in charge Of the Oceanic
gets $40, 900. The fair average is So, 900 to
$4,000.
Bonuses cut a large figure in the salary
question Steamship companies are CRATE
ful corporations and express their graft

steamer thru the season with clear
accident record, the captain is remem-
bered with extra salary, or a bonus.
Should the captain, under specially trying
circumstances, prove his fidelity, he is re-
membered. case in point is when the
oceanic was three days in a fog. The
captain, after being on duty the while

IN GOOD OLD WILDCAT DAYS

Senator Scott, who Is a West Virginfan
now, but an Ohio man by birth, tells a
story about an experience an Ohio man
had many years ago when he went over
to West Virginia on little pleasure ex-
curs1on. 1t was old Virginia at the time.
however, as this happened before the civil
war. The Ohio man had a 'sred back"
dollar, part of the currency of his state.
and It was considered good. He stopped
at place Of refreshment and got a drink.
The whisky was drawn out Of a keg and
served in a tin cup. When the LIQUID
had been swallowed he laid down his fred
back, and the bartender dived under the
bar and brought out six coon skins. Ave
fox skins and ten muskrat skins and
passed them over for change.
The Ohio man did not want to show his
ignorance of Virginia currency. so he
took up the pelts and walked away. But
he wanted to establish values if possible
and went into another saloon and laid
down fox skin. Without saying a word
the man behind the bar gave him a musk
rat and five rabbit skins. AS the load
was increasing In size, he concluded that
he would soon have more than he could
carry. SO he went back to the first place
and laid down the whole lot saying:
Here, give me another drink. Take
all these; I've had all the experience I
want" ~
Then he sought his canoe and started
for the Ohio side Of the river.

A Cordial testimonial.
70 the Editor of Tha Lnnrnal


Judge Collins as a young man and I as
young man, few years his senior,
were among the pioneers Of Dakota county
in the fifties. I knew him we'll I cannot
say how many are living who knew him
then, but how few or many there may be,
I take them to witness that no more
manly, more courteous, more trusted, more
pen-hearted young. man than he dwelt
among us in those olden days. His char
acter was above reproach. The frontier
life with its excitements, its hardships, its
depriva lions, only tended to develop the
sterling qualities of his character.
The Civil war for a time obscured my
knowledge Of him for we dr1fted apart
into different channels, But after the
war,I was permitted to watch his career
carefully.
Upon the foundation laid in his early
life he built a sterling character, honest
ly, wisely, judiciously, and came at last
to a high and noble office, the gift of men
who had confidence In his integrity and
ability. Should the mantle Of governor fall
upon his shoulders, he will carry to that
high office an untarnished name He who
will deny that does not know him. He
who will continue to villify him, will do it
on false grounds and with vicious intent.
Go to Stearns county, go to st. Cloud,
his longtime home, and there you will
learn that this man stands as the true
citizen, the true neighbor, as well as the
able barr1ster. It was In my way last fall,
and In the early: winter to travel over that
county and adjacent counties. and I do
not hesitate to say that in that democratic
stronghold Judge L. W. Collins would re-
ceive large majority-such Is his stand
ing among all classes Of people.
It Is entirely proper, nay laudable for
any qualified man, like him, to lay down
the office Of judge and seek the office Of
state governor. I know of no man more
| worthy than he, and it Is with extreme
pleasure that have opportunity to put in
q word in his defense.

A Flood of Ignorance.

In the twenty-ninth annual report
of the New York Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children E. Fell
lows Jenkins, superintendent of the
society, makes some startling COM
ments as to the character of immi-
grafton to our country. The work Of
investigation Of cases coming, before
the society necessitated a search back
for primary causes. Whatever in
ton Of such cases, whatever change
for the worse has occurred in the gen.
era1 situation, Mr.. Jenkins attributes
mainly to the fact that since about
1885 q great change has occurred, and
that a flood tide of immigration is
now. on from parts of Europe whence
formerly we received few immigrants.
It is impossible here to go into this
subject at length, nor is that necessary
to give an idea of the changing condi-
lions that make for increasing crime
and pauperism. The report Of the
government covering immigration for
last year speaks for itself. In all
S57,O46 immigrants came in, and of
this great total 610,S13 were from the
countries of eastern and southern Eu-
rope. The percentage Of illiteracy
among these latter immigrants is APP
palling. Of the $3.50 Syrians who
entered, 81 per cent were without the
ability to read or write in any Ian
guage. The Slovaks, Austrian-P Poles,
Ruthenians, Bulgarians, servians and
Montenegrins show percentages of
illiteracy ranging from % to 40 per
cent: of the Lithuanians AZ per cent
were unlettered and the south Ital-
ians showed a proportion of 4s per
cent of illiterates. Portugal sent over

he Is willing to turn the place over to
some other good republican. Mr..
Fletcher gives out the following state
ment:
have decided that will be candi-

mated for and elected to that office. No
one can expect me to be satisfied with the
result Of the election two years ago. l
am not willing to retire under such condi-
lions and will not until I have a fair hear
ing at the polls next November. This is
q republican district and it was thru no
fault of my own that I was not elected.
Conditions existed at that time that never
occurred before and are not likely to occur
again. I am a republican and I believe
in supporting the nominees Of the party
when fairly put in nomination by a ma
jority fairly expressed at the primaries.
My years of service in the legislature
and in congresses during all Of which no
question has ever been raised Of my I'M
| swerving loyalty to the measures and
principles advocated by the republican
party, my devotion to the interests Of
my district and constituents, and my abil-
tty to serve them-entitle me to seek re-
versal of that verdict. I fully realize that
nave received many favors at the hands
| of the people Of Hennepin county, and in
return Ihave given my best efforts to the
advancement of every interest entrusted
| to my official position. With what sue
cess, I leave it to the people to judge.
My long residence in Minneapolis, my
| wide acquaintance with the voters Of the
district, the splendid support I have re-
fceived in the past and as believe, the
satisfactory service / have been ableSto
render, all Indicate to- me that Iessh ould
lay aside my own personal inclinatfofis
and make the best effort in my power to
recover the district from democratic rep
resentation. I sought the nomination two
years ago because there were many things
for the interest of this district that I had
not been able fully to accomplish and that
I felt could be completed within another
term. Knowing how vitality these matters
affect the welfare of this district, believe
that no one can be named who can dc
more than myself toward carrying them
forward, and for this reason am anxious
to be in position to give them the benefit
of my experience and best efforts.
That there may be no uncertainty about
my position upon that question, wish tt
state distinctly and plainly that If an
e-elected and thereby the district Is re.
turned to republican ranks, where it be-
longs, I shall at the end of the term gladl,
turn over the office to some young ani
brilliant republican, and will do all I cal
to continue the district in the republican
column. i1
