UNsALABLE GOODS.

Unsold stocks is the cause OF the
failure of many a merchant. What
does il benefit business man though
his books show an apparent profit,
when that profit, and more, is tied
up in goods that seem to stick to the
shelves?
Judicious buying is one of the
essentials of good merchandising.
The merchant should not over-stock.
He should not allow himself to be
persuaded into buying a job lot of
goods for which there is no demand,
merely because they are cheap. 1t
is we'll not to lay in large stocks in
any extreme style, just bought out.
Such goods may have a long run,
but the chances are the fad will soon
run its course, and no one will want
the design at any price. Standard,
conservative styles in some lines Of
goods can be sold to a certain class
of people at any time.
When it is found that certain goods
are moving slow, the merchant should
take into account the fact that the
longer he holds onto them, the less
salable they are likely to be.
To got rid of them at once at some
price is the best thing he can do. If
he cannot sell them at price that
will allow him a profit, he should
seize the opportunity to close them
out at cost. If they fail to sell at
cost figures, there has evidently been
some injudieious buying, or the goods
have been allowed to remain on the
shelves longer than they should ever
have been permitted to stay. No
matter-cut deeper-the goods will
bring more now than they will at any
future date, are taking up valuable
room, and tying up capital that should
be invested in goods that will sell
and produce profit. Any price is
better than to keep unstable goods
on the shelves.
Slow moving stocks offer an excel
lent opportunity to advertise cut price
sales. 1t is we'll known that Ameri-
can people, especially American
women, dearly love bargain. The
advertising will bring people to the
store who are not accustomed to
trading there. They will not only
look at the bargain goods. but will
examine the regular stocks. Some
who purchase bargain goods will re-
turn and become regular customers Of
the house. A cut price sale offers

1t is reported on what appears to
be good authority that Frank j.
"Wuzzer," the erstwhile leader of
the democracy in this state and the CO.
publisher and editor of democratic
daily at Ogden, has now become the
editor in chief of the Salt Lake Trib-
une. This may be taken TO indicate
that the senator has undergone
another change of heart and will
shortly land again in the republican
column. As the tool of Senator
Kearns he will be expected to jump
which ever way the string pulls, and
it is only reasonable to expect that
when Tom has grown tired of his new
toy-the American party-he will
seek preferment again at the hands
of his former benefactors; in the
which event frankie will be on hand
TO aid him, no doubt, by the most
sincere avowels of love and respect
for the 6. o. p. Frank puts to
shame any kaleidoscope panorama yet
invented.

of the nation are open to the lowest
born of her people. theoretically
this is correct, but how 10 it pract-
icallyY Does anyone in his sober
senses believe that the son of the
crossing sweeper or the mendicant has
the same chance az the son of the
president of the United States, the
congressman, the millionaire or the
many other favored sons OF fortune,
of becoming president? Is it not a
patent fact that the opportunities of
the latter class give them an i'm
measurable advantage in the race for
the White House? 1t is true that in
some instances we hear of people who
have come up from the lower walks
of life TO the front ranks, and the
very fact of our hearing of such. cases
proves that they are exceptions to the
rule, as, if this condition we're com
mon, it would not be thought worthy
of remark. And when this condition
has occurred there has always been
exceptional ability and unusual
opportunity somewhere along the line.
Suitable opportunity is the great
factor of success, all other things be =
ing equal. There are thousands and
hundreds of thousands of just as able
men in these United States as those
that occupy the highest positions,
who have not had the opportunity to
reach those places.
Opportunity is made up of numer-
Gus constituents. Education, while
doubtless a great help, is not indis-
pensible, even in its brodaest inter
probation; as history is replete with
instances where men have secured the
foremost positions without its aid,
while we do not have far to go 20 find
people we'll versed in scholastic
knowledge and we'll trained in the
school of experience, that do not sue
coed in making good living. One
of the most imorptant, in fact we may
say the most important constituent
of opportunity, is wealth. With
wealth there is but little in this
world but what may be attained if
common sense is applied in its use !;
without it, while some progress may
be made, no foremost place in either
the social, commercial or political
world can be obtained and main
tanned. And even in religious circles
its influence cannot be overlooked.
Next to wealth is the possession of
wealthy friends, which in great de-
gree amounts to about the same thing.
There are other things that go to
make opportunity, but we have not
space to mention them in this article.
Try wealth and common sense and
you will have no cause TO complaint.

Read our advertising column sand
when you go to trade at the stores
whose announcements appear in the
local paper, ask to see the goods they
are advertising. Let the merchants
know that you are influenced in your
shopping by their advertisements,
and it will be an incentive to them
to offer better inducem ents. In the
cities the newspapers are the shopp-
ing guides of the inhabitants. The
only reason it is not so in the coun-
try to greater extent is because the
local merchants fail to educate their
customers to watch for their an
nouncements. The merchant who
has nothing to say to the people that
will have tendency to make them
buy at his store has missed his call
ing and should seek some less strenu-
Gus occupation, for the time has
passed when a merchant can acquire
any phenomenal success without a
proportionate amount of hustling and
enterprise.

fearful howl against the practice of
holding religion classes after school
hours in the school houses. In as
much as the attendance at these
classes is voluntary, the instruction
given tends to morality and the

vices, it is difficult to see where the
kick comes in. The Tribune man
