SOME ADVTCE-AND A STORY.

SOME ADVHGE-ANIO A STORY.
There is a somewhat ancient lessen

the Worlds story is reproduced here:

his last name was Wanamalzer, or may
be NOneymaker, anyhow, his name was

half dozen pair of boots. He called this

FROM OTHER PENS
NEW york PROSPECTS.


The Republicans of this state, with
out concealment, are worried about
the next election. Even under ordi-
nary circumstances they would have
reason for anxiety, for twelve years of
unbroken success warn them to watch
for the inevitable back swing Of the
pendulum. They have been wonder
ing If it would not come every off
year for six years. Now special dan
gers confront them. The revelations
OF business and political abuses are
bound to hurt the party in power.
They whet the popular appetite for
change for its own sake, without much
regard to the nature of the change.
C1everly timed to take advantage OF
this disposition is the speciOus dema-
gogic agitation Of socialism only skin

Mr.. Stubs states that his experience

him that the free pass is the most dan

that Mr.. Stubbs had not learned this

an anti-pass law today. Although Mr..

KANSAS cOAMENT


We approached a Marysville BUSH
ness man on the advertising PROPOSE
ton this week and were turned down
on the plea that if he advertised he
would have to employ more help, and
that he couldn't AFFORD to do. For the
first time in our life we were up against
It for material to combat his argument.
Had We offered to supply the neces-
saIy help to take care of the additional
trade the advertising might bring him,
we suppose he would have gone farther
and told use that he had no use for the
accumulated profit that he would de-
rive therefrom. What a blessing 1t
must be to be thoroughly satisfied
with your lot, and to feel that you don't
have to keep continually hustling for
this worlds goods. If we applied this
method to the printing business it
would be a case of starve to death in
mighty short order. and we believe it
is just so in any other business. unless
perchance you soak" the customer
hard when you do catch one. A limit
ed trade calls for extraordinary big
profits, and the buyer of today is wise
enough to know it and fight shy of the
store that isn't continually hustling for
more Marysville Advocate.
