.1AlL ORDER BUYING,
''Viliage Merchant Replies to Com
munication of Last Week.

| To The TRIBUNE: In your last
weeks issue you had communication
from Mr.. John Willie about the ad-
vantage of buying goods by catalogue
from mail order houses and in answer
to this | would like to say few
words.
Mr.. Willie, don't you realize that in
cutting out the village merchant you
are simply cutting your own throat?
What would our county be, if every
village merchant were forced out of
business? What would your farm be
worth if there was not village or
merchant in the county or nearer
than your mail order house? VINO
helps to build up the county? Who
helps to pay the taxes? Who donates
to your churches and schools? Is it
the village merchant or your cat.
house? Does your big catalogue
house in Chicago extend you any
credit when you need it? No, you
must send them the money in ad-
vance, several weeks before you get
the goods. You talk about the viii
lage merchant having a family and
consequently must make profit on
his goods in order to live. Don't you
think that the members of the cat.
houses have families that are
living from the profits too? Sears,
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, made
gross profit on their goods sold last
year of over SO, 100000 according to
their own statement. How about that
for profit, MIR. Willie?
Another thing, every merchant in
Morris or Stevens county will be glad
to sell you goods at the same prices
you pay the cat. houses if you
come in with the money. You don't
need to send it in several weeks
in advance for the same kind of goods
you get from the cat. houses
and they will let you look at the goods
before you buy it.
The grade of goods you get from
your village merchant is always far
better than the cat. houses give
you. Take groceries for instance
The village grocer must handle goods
that will pass inspection under the
Minnesota State Pure Food law, but
the cat. houses don't furnish
you this kind of goods, as has been
shown several times where the state
inspectors have confiscated goods sold
by Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery,
Ward. This is also true in other lines
as has been proved on several oc-
casions that the catalogue houses buy
up merchandise which has been re-
iected by concerns doing legitimate
business.
Now, Mr.. Willie, next time you in
tend to send for goods, take your or
der to the village merchants and give
them a chance to figure on it before
you send it to the cat. house
and am sure the village merchant
will fill it for the same price and with
better goods than the cat. house
will give you, providing you pay him
cash. Leave your money at home
and help build up our county and if
the village merchant can do as we'll or
better for you than the cat.
house, then be as generous in your
praise about him as you now have
been to the cat. house.
A VILLAGE MERCHANT.

advocated by the Republican candi-

advocated by the Republican candl-
date for governor is very superficial
and incomplete sincesit proposes to
develope the lands Of the state and
ignores the developement of theciti-
zens. Such policy Is characteristic
of the Republican party which has
often protected" and developed
wealth while ignoring the man who
creates it.
The Democratic party is committed
to policy of development through
education of the powers of the people
and especially of the youth of the
/, state into their largest possibilities
for social, civic and industrial useful
ness. To that end it favors the en-
larging by state aid of the very in
adequate means for industrial and
agricultural training which are sup
piled by few industrial high schools
in the larger cities and the one agri-
cultural school now in operation.
The state should aid and encourage
those communities that are trying to
supply this deficiency for themselves.
The education of a Democracy should
be adapted to the industrial classes
equally with the professional.
CONGRESS-.
The Democrats of Stevens county
take just pride in calling attention
to the able way in which the Demo
Gratis in the last congress Influenced
and assisted sthe president of the
United States in putting in force the
doctrines of Democracy that have so
often in the last twenty years been
denounced and ridiculed by the Re-
publican party and so ably champion
ed by the peerless leader William
Jennings Bryan.
w. ]. BRYAN ENDORSED.
We most heartily indorse this hon
est and fearless leader for the Presi-
dent of the United States-a position
for which he is fitted not only by his
ability as state man but equally by
his character as man. We are re-
joiced to see the growing recognition
of his worth in this country and in
other countries of the world which
he is helping to bring closer together
GOVERNOR JOHNSON ENDORSED.
We would also endorse with pride
the able administration of Governor
Johnson. His good appointments,
his deep interest in the welfare of the
state and it's people and his sterling
! worth entitle him to reelection by an
even larger majority than he received
in 1904.

gates from this convention to the
