Home Trading the Safest.

The big mail order houses have sent
notices to their customers TO the effect
that they will fill no more orders for
sugar or -four. This act is an admis-
son that they cannot compete with
the country merchant on articles that
can not be misrepresented. Therefore,
it is fair conclusion that if the mail
order houses cannot compete with the
country merchant on those articles
neither can they compete on other arti-
cles. If patrons of these houses y i'll
take the trouble to compare the casa
logue price on standard articles with
the prices local merchants put on the
same goods they will find it the cheaJ :
est to trade at home, besides saving

The railroad commissioners have
demonstrated their practical use in the
way of regulating" railroads and if
the coming Legislature NEEDLES in any
manner with their duties it shorld be TO
enlarge their powers. Wlsb W. D.
Conner as chief adviser it is doubted,
however, that their powers will remain
even as extensive as at present Rich
land Democrat.
The Democrat is too good a paper to
infer. without some substantial reason
for doing 50, that Lieutenant: Governor
Conner will be other than square
with the people and the party that
elected him Like very other republi-
can, candidate for state office and the
legislature, Mr.. Conuor is pledged,
through the platform. to extend and
strengthen the legislation so well be-
gun, and he'll do it, too. At the last
session he was one of the foremost ad-
vocates Of a railroad rate commission
and effective regulation, appearing in
person before committees and urging
such legislation.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1906.

The state board of control has de-
cided to ask the next legislature for an
appropriation of some $3.50, 900 for the
establishment of a binder Irvine factory
at the state prison at Waupun, follow
ing the successful plan of the state of
Minnesota. The Wisconsin prison labor
contract with a knitting company Of
Chicago expires in 1908, and it is
planned to get the new industry ready
for operation by that time. The board,
acting upon a joint resolution of the
legislature Of 1905, made an investiga-
ton of binder Irvine factories of other
state prisons. and the favorable report
and request for the appropriations are
the results. 1t is asserted tdat the in
lustry at Minnesota prison Melted the
state over 500. 900 during the past two
years, and made a saving to the farm
ers of the state OF $735. 900. This sub
ject is treated to some length on an in
side page Of today's CENSOR We in
wife attention to the same and ask for
the article a careful reading.
