FIGHTING THE DEVIL WITH FIRE.

Country merchants who are worried
by the growth of business with the
catalog houses on the hand and
the danger Of the farmers cooperative
store On the other should accept the
good old-fashioned advice and fight the
devil with fire. For instance, If the
Rockwell system is so successful in
preventing members DESERVING their
union, the same system could be APP
piled to members in this purchase of
merchandise from the catalog houses.
Suppose the proprietor of a general
store should incorporate his company
and take in 500 farmers as stockhold-
ers. each stakeholder agreeing to buy
his merchandise of specified lines from
the company store and o%bligating him
self to pay toll to the store on every
purchase of such lines that he might
make outside. The store would thus
be maintained regardless of compe-
tition from the catalog house, but as
a matter Of fact the company store
could sell merchandise just as cheaply
as catalog prices and the stockhold-
ers would soon find 1t out. 1t is true
the grange store has heretofore prov
ed a failure in this country in all
places except the fruit districts of Call
ifornia, but it does flourish in Europe.
where cooperative packing plants and
creameries seem to thrive. 1t may
be that the people of this country need
only to be educated.
AS a matter of fact enterprise and
advertising will overcome largely the
competition Of the catalog house, but
the average country merchant schooled
to cut his expense does not know how
to advertise. Black, the big dry goods
merchant of Waterloo, talking recent
ly with an old friend from a rival city,
made this statement: II know what's
the matter with your town. Your mer-
chants are not enterprising enough to
advertise. I'll bet you haven't got a
man in your town who spends $1,000
per year in advertising. What do you
suppose 1 spent last year? 1t was con-
siderably more than $1,000 and 1 get
hundreds of dollars worth Of business

NEW FIELD FOR FORTUNES.

The first key was turned yesterday
in the lock that shall open a new era
in fortune making and a new field for
legitimate commercial exploitation.
When the senate passed the Philip
pine bill very much as it came from
the house it became practically assur-
ed that the policies outlined therein
were 500 to be put into effect which
virtually assures the commercial devel-
opment Of the islands and promises a
new field for American fortune MAX
ing.
People who saw the Philippine ex-
hibit at st. Louis were amazed at the
productive capacities Of these newly
acquired possessions. Their grains and
woods seemed most luxurious. All that
appeared to be needed was capital to
build railroads and develop the abund-
ant This the new bill pro-
vides for In the clause permitting the
Philippine government to guarantee a
5 per cent income on money actually
invested in railroads. When the rail-
roads enter the interior of the islands
to offer an outlet for the products of
mines and forests, there will follow q
great influx Of capital and fortune
hunters. Markets for island products
will spring up, the natives will find
employment in many new enterprises
and fortunes will be made quickly by
the men who have the nerve to do bat
tie for business on the frontier.

cARHEeIE's s1o,ooo,ooo UNIVERSITY.

The annual meeting Of the trustees
ington this week calls to mind the gift
of $40, 600, 900 made three years ago to
found a National University at Wash
ington. This university is unique In
it's character and different from most
all others for when the trustees came
to decide upon what they would do
with the money they concluded not to
spend much of any on buildings, but
to use the annual income OF $500, 900
for the expense Of scientific research to
be made IN connection with govern
ment experts, private and foreign ex-
periments. Hence Mr.. Carneg1e's $780,
900, 900 National University has no COL
lege campus or magnificent group of
buildings.
When the trustees met two years ago
they were in receipt of applications
from scientific organizations for aid in
their enterprises that represented an
aggregate demand for 50, 200, 900. The
projects that were distinctly sanction
ed by the advisory committees cut this
down to 5000, 900, which was still
iy twice the annual revenue available
but the grants actually made involved
an outlay Of only 100000. In the fol-
lowing year la grants were made, call
ing for an expenditure Of $3S0,0OO, and
this years grants have not yet been
announced. The trustees apparently
have an un~expended balance Of $780,
900 in addition to the annual income
of $500, 900, so there is no need hence
forth Of pinching on the grants. When
well started and policies defined this
benef1cience Of Carnegie's should per-
form some wonderful miracles in the
world of science.

No More SUFFERING.

If you are troubled with Indigestion.
get a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and see how quickly 1t will cure you.
Geo. A. Thomson, of Spencer, Ia, says:
Have had dyspepsia for twenty years.
My case was almost hopeless. kodol
Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and
I used a few bottles of it and it is the
only thing that has relieved me. Would
not be without it. Have doctored with
local physicians and also at Chicago,
and even went to Norway with hopes
of getting some relief, but Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure is the only remedy that
has done me any good, and I heartily
recommend it. Every person suffering
with Indigestion or dyspepsia should
use it." Sold by all druggists.

that death is not a turning point. but
the end. or the old ecclesiastical ter

The conclusions of extreme mater

IL the materialist proves his case, we
acquiesce. There is no hope for us in
our present perplexities, but in the

from the little villages within eight
miles of your town"
And what Black said was true. There
are very few merchants in that town
who spend ever $500 a year in adver-
Using, yet those same merchants can
often be heard kicking about trade. 1T
is the same with merchants the coun-
try over. If they would publish their
business and make the contents of
their shelves as well known to the pub
lie as the catalog makes known the
merchandise Of a mail order house,
there would be far less complaint of
the mail order habit. There are two
ways Of meeting such competition. The
independent merchant must advertise
and advertise strong. The other fellow
can try the cooperative scheme, yet
even then he must advertise.

An Aged Scholar Thinks Out Loud"
on the Mystery:
[Goldwin Smith in New York SUM-
The question is whether our hopes
and responsibilities extend beyond this
world and life. Conscience says that
they do. Conscience tells us that this
world, it's awards and its judgments
are not all, but as we do well or i'll in
this life, 1t will be we'll or Ill for as in
the sum Of things. What question a
be more practical? Even taking 1t on
the lowest ground, what would our
social state be If vice and wickedness
had only to blk human law? Would
not self-sacri1ce be folly and martyr
dom insanity?
That physical science has nothing to
say to this matter is true. But is ply
steal science u only sure source Of
knowledge? Are our moral instincts
less trustworthy than our physical
sense? AS I have already said, / affirm
nothing; but l call attention to the ap-
parent fact that there is in man some
thing Of which the materialist still
owes us an account. All may be, and
in a sense no doubt is, the outcome Of
physical evolution. That does not
seem to me to close the inquiry. What
ever the process Of development, DR..
Osler is not a germ, but a man, well
seer in the noble literature of the
seventeenth century.
That men go about their daily work
thinking little Of a future state, as DR..
Osler says, is perfectly true. But is not
the influence Of conscience, with what
it implies, always there, unless 1t has
beer absolutely stifled, as in the case
of consummate wickedness it probably
is? Does not every nan when he
obeys his conscience against his pas
sions or his interest, virtually express
