There seems to be a marked and
growing disposition on the part of the
publishers of country papers to accept
advertising contracts from foreign
advertisers-city department stores
and the like. The rule has been to
protect the home merchant by refus-
ing such contracts, but cold blooded
business is getting the better of senti-
ment aud many publishers are treat
ing their advertising space just as the
local merchant does his goods selling
to anybody from anywhere who wants
to buy.-Ricevjlle Recorder.
The disposition" is growing, be-
cause the indisposition OF smalltown
merchants to defend themselves by
advertising their goods is also grow
ing, to their own damage. They will
see it sometime late in the day when
the big catalogue department. stores
have got them scooped.

Respectfully Submitted.

Some Of our exchanges are telling of
refusing offers from Montgomery
Ward & Co. for liberal advertising
contracts. That may be a patriotic
thing to do, but it is treating the
home merchants in a good many in
stances better than they deserve.
We never heard of a merchant refus-
ing to sell his goods to any man who
was willing to buy and pay cash, and
we have heard of more than one mer-
chant willing to patronize mail order
houses for printing when, quality
considered, he could do better at
home. Usage News.
There you have it from another
source. There is no moral or civil law
to prevent publishers from securing
patronage where yer they can or wher-
ever it is offered. Merchants them
selves send to the catalogue houses
for goods that are on sale in their
own town because they believe they
can get them for less money. Some
of them even send to city printing
offices for their stationery, because
they think they are saving something
The fact is the mail order houses be
lieve in liberal advertising, knowing
1T pays them, while many country
merchants wait till their former Gus
toners have sent most of their orders
away. Too many men are in business
who are not business men.-Fayette

DANGER OF
CONTACION.
Local Physician Tells Of Con-
dlliOns atAIms House Need
ola Remedy.

The death of Henry Wilson, the aged
aims house inmate who had erysipe-
las, brings to light an alleged state of
Affairs. which, if found to be essent-
tally correct, should be condemned
and steps taken to institute a new
system Of caring for the iniigcnt in
valids and sick of the city.
A prominent physician, speaking of
the death of Wilson and the condition
Of affairs at the aims house, told a
News reporter that Wilson contracted
the erysipolas from another man re-
ceived at the institution suffering with
it. Wilson, because Of his age and a
weakened constitution, fell an easy
prey to the malndy, and had one OF
the worst and most wide-spreadlng
cases which ave came under the CD
sorvatiou OF the physician,
Now the physician declared
there are a number of cases OF DIS
ease received frequently at the aims
house consumption chief among
them Such patients have peeh ie'
ceived there for some time, placing
the other inmates in jeopardy. There
should be some other place for such
pu poses, and the aims house should
not be made a yeritable hospital
The old inmate, Wilson, contracted
erysipelas from another man received
there. The latter inmate is now about
r covered from the disease. If inmates
are taken down with contagious mala-
dies, there should be some other place
to which they could be removed.

MATTER OF TAXATION.
Correspondent Writes TO The Even
ReWs on Interesting Subject,

Editor Evening News:
As the News seems to TAKE an active
interest in all matters pertaining to
the interest Of the city, l wish you
would call to the attention of the
Board of Aldermen, or the taEltion
committee Of the council, n matter
| which is of vital Importance to the
! taxpaying citizens OF Perth Amboy
We refer TO the matter Of sales of
property for delinquent taxes. Mayor
Brace stated IN his inaugural message,
that We were up to our borrowing
limit, and that it would be difficult to
secure money for further improve
! ments, but by taking proper action 1t
| would be possible to ~realiza quite o
sum from some OF the sales of proper
ty for taxes which were made four
wears ago. One case in particular,
would bring large results, l refer to
the sale for taxes four years ago OF the
Staten Island Terra Gotta Lumber
Company at Spa Springs, which is
owned by frenzied finance Addlcbs.
This concern has not paid any revenue
} to the city for over ten years. ] an.
Informed that they now owe fifteen
thousand dollars to the city, and IN
less they acqdire title to the property
at oncs they will not realize this
amount. 1t is doubtful if it would
bring more than this at q forced sale,
MS building lots are not very valuable
Mt Spa Springs, and there isn't any
thing of value left of the fac'ory plant
now. 1t is row passing through an
other period of its many r~eceiyershipsr
and as each one leaves the property
very much less valuable it, would
seem advisable for the city to acquire
title TO the property while there is
some equity left, and dispose of it tc
some firm that would conduct the
business in a legitimate way. AS ron
heretofore W this speculative regime
II has been Of no benei, to the city.
As there is a move to he made for the
900.
court to grant the receiver permission
to again attempt to operate rhe plant,
the proper officials should strenuously
object to this in order 10 realize some
thing while there is Vet something
left. We taxpayers in North Amboy
derive very little bsnef. for the taxes
we pay the city, yet VIXEN we are de-
( linQuent sc are not shown much len,
iency, but this concern is allowed pri'
vileges which are denied people more
worthy. Il makes us wonder why they
have the pull. Surely frenzied Ad.
dicks does not influence our official.
and yet why do they not act:
hope they will bes5ir themsel7e-
and take action that will protect the
city's interest, and help to enIighter
the burden of real taxpayers.
