ing proprietor. the heads of the diff

corps of assistants that assisted him

to the rich colored goods ard beauti-
ful millinery that are this springs

Nelms 4 Blum Company's Easter
Opening.

In the history of Nelms & Blum
Company's fashionable dry goods
store there has never been failure
recorded in any special feature o.
opening undertaken. This firm does
not believe in doing anything in any
half-hearted manner. and success has
always attended every endeavor on
their part.
Their 1906 Easter opening. which
took place on Monday and Tuesday
Of this week. was one of the most
successful of any ever before attempt
ed. The millinery display Of this
years styles and fancies eclipsed for
mer displays, and in the opinion Of
expert critics, who witnessed similar
openings in Memphis, was equal 60
anything attempted in the Bluff City
by the large millinery establishments.
On these opening days the store
was thronged with customers. and the
results were very satisfactory. both
from : financial and an advertising
standpoint. Besides the handsome
display of hats and millinery fnery
to interest the large crowds. the other
departments were beautifully display
ed. and orchestral music eniivened
the two days opening.
Miss Raines. of New York, who
has charge of the millinery depart
ment, and Messrs. Blum and Schall

praise for the success Of the opening

"Smoothed Out"

Mr.. ROckefeller'S optimism is AT pres
ent superlatively cheerful. Until quite
recently nothing could induce him 10
consent TO an interview with a news
paper man, but now the reverse is
true. He has given us his opinion on
the law and the duty of the citizen to
uphold it. He has favored us with ep-
igrammatic expressions on humanity
outlook and on the necessity for occa-
sional relaxation from business cares.
and has even confessed an admiration
for Journalists regretting that he did
not know them earlier and better. Be-
tween the lines we may read yearn-
ing of the oil king for sympathy and
respect in the evening of his life. The
public is willing 70 listen TO all ne says.
to hear him in his own behalf; but he
cannot expect public sympathy or re-
spect. His past record forbids.
Mr.. ROckefeller's latest appearance
before the public was one day the past
week. when in an interview he declin-
ed 10 publicly criticse the Findlay
Ohio. verdict. the court or the pro-
ceedings. His resignation to the harsh
termination of that trial is touchingly
beautiful Il feel confident" said he
however. that the entire matter will
be smOothed out satisfactorily before
long" 'SmoOthed out" is vague. Does
Mr. Rockefeller mean smoothed out sat
isfactOrily TO himself or 10 the public?
From his past deals and delays and
veXatiOus legal tactics. he may be as
sumed TO mean that he expects to cir
cumvent in some way the righteous eff
feet of the Findlay verdict 10 get clear
of the penalty that should be inflicted
upon him under the law he has viola
ted. But Mr.. Rockefeller should be
made to understand that his transgres-
sions can never be "smoOthed out" in
that way

Root to Urge Trade Extension to the
SOuth.

Fresh from his tour of the countries
of Latin-America. Secretary Root fin
ally has decided 10 accept the invita-
tiOn of the Mississippi CONNER
cial congress to be its guest on Nov
10. He has chosen as the topic on
which he will speak, The Possibilities
of Establishing Direct Trade Relations
Between the Mississippi Valley States
and South and Central American
Countries On his visit to the coun-
tries south of the United States the
secretary was astonished 10 find that
foreigners. principally German and
British. control the. rich trade with
these nations. He ascertained that
they were enabled TO do so by reason
of the fact that transportation tolls
were low because transportation was
by water entirely.
Advocates of a more liberal policy
with regard TO rivers and harbors
work, believe that Secretary Roots
address will result in wonderful
stimulation of interest in this ques-
ton. One of the most conservative
men in high official life. Mr.. Root
never before has voiced his views on
this especial subject of internal inn
provement. His study of trade con-
ditions at first hand, coupled with his
known ability. will render his address
of great interest.
Coming at time when the foreign
trade of the country has reached rec
ord proportions, Secretary Roots
speech is expected to spur on Ameri-
can exporters to still further efforts
Particularly American manufacturers
have almost ignored the field that lies
at the door of the nation. With the
exception of Cuba. none of the south
ern markets has been accorded atten
ton. Almost TO Il man, mill owners
and agrfculturalists have turned to the
orient to market their manufactures
Rock Island Argus., 1906-10-29

and their products This field has been
cultivated to the exclusion of the one
more obvious.
In the meantime, England and Ger.
many have taken advantage of the
apathy OF the United States with re.
gard to South American trade The
last named country. especially, has
been active in establishing itself. Be-
cause of its magnificent system of
canals and navigable rivers, German
manufacturers and farmers are en-
abled to ship their materials halfway
around the world and enter into COM
manding competition with this coun-
try. Great Britain. with its great
fleets of merchant vessels. is the Teu-
toms only serious rival.
However. if the United States sets
about the task of making navigable
its $4,000 miles of waterways, Eng
land and Germany. in the opinion of
commercial experts, will have TO look
TO their laurels. and trade now aggre-
eating millions win be diverted to this
