WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
IF the mail order houses got $1,000
out of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for it. OF course
We get soaked once in awhile and IL
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad-
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price Of this
article, and that, but you Know how
1t is-one Doesn't know SO well exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
in a store as when he is at home. And
IhClO L "hClC Ju6 ulull O1uCI lpDuSCo
make their hit. They send US their
advertising matter into homes and we
read it when we haven't anything else
to do and every member of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other mem
Der of the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. If he talked up his
business to III in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at nee that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
THE home merchant can save the
expense of getting up a catalogue. We
people read the home papers, more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and if the merchant wants to talk
business with. us let him put his talk
in the home papers, and put it in so
that We know he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and l believe on
many things they are much cheaper,
but how are we to know if he doesn't
tell us about it.
"a merhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so well that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
ut is non of. my business how the
home merchant runs his business, but
| don't like to see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get a little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and " anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of a question, and | have given
you mine. If it is worth anything to
sou you can take it."

BODY BLOW TO REPUBLICANS.
Possibility That Railroads Will With.
draw Financial Aid.

If the president of the Rock Island
railroad means what he says, that all
its lobbyists at state capitals and at
the national capital are to be with
drawn, it shows he has seer a great
light. But how about the other rail-
roads? Will they follow the good ex-
ample? Will the Pennsylvania rail
road, which has always been dominant
at Washington, and the Southern rail
road, which has cooperated and also
maintained its lobbyists at all the
capitals of southern states through
which 1t passes, also abolish the same
nefarious practice? VIII Hartman
reform his tactics and cease to bride
and influence the legislatures of the
Pacific coast states, and those as far
east as Omaha, and ever to New
York? Will he cease to finance the
Republican machine in California and
buy the election of United States
senators and congressman? There
would undoubtedly be a Democratic
majority in the house of representa-
tives If the magnates of the corpora
lions and the tariff-protected trusts
had kept their hands out of the treas.
uries of those institutions, and the
United States would be friendly to the
people instead of being controlled by
the corporations, without the none
and the aid of the lobbyists of corpor-
ations.
Even President Roosevelt's title to
the presidency is clouded by the life
insurance and Harriman's contribu-
tons to his campaign fund, and there
is good reason to believe that at least
one of the principal candidates of the
Republican party for the presidential
nomination is receiving aid from sim
liar sources.
How a the people expect relief
from the plundering trusts and corpor.
atoms as long rs the leaders of the
dominant party are so much under OBJ
legations to them as the exposures al
ready made indicate?

BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger in the Maii.0rder
System of Business.

1t is only lately that bankers Of the
west have come to a realization that
the mail-order system of business has
been a serious injury to them, killing
off the business of their towns, taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the Observation-Disclosures evil
as anything of particular concern to
them. When Farmer Smith would
buy a draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago, the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead, while the facts re-
manned that if he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make a dollar or two of profit.
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started In to solicit deposits of
the people Of country towns and farm
ing communities that the, bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families,
and set a bad example before the peo-
Pile by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and luXuries. Bankers are conserve
tive; and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money.
but in this matter it appears sufficient
ly important to Justify the exercise Of
what influence the banker can COM
mand in behalf of home patronage. 1t
is the business of the town and sur
rounding country that affords q profit
to the bank. The greater this volume
of business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest of
the town, and the farmers and other
laborers as well.

The Protective Tariff league at a

The American people, in spite OF the

increased the cost Of living that they
are tired OF 1t, and that subterfuge,
like the German agreement. Is merely

HIS ACTS ILLEGAL
JUDGE PRITcHARD IN CONFLICT
WITH REVISED STATUTES.
Granting Of Injunction In North Caro-.
lima Railroad Case Was Plain
Violation Of Law in Rail-
road interests.

To one who takes the trouble to ex-
anime the law governing the use of
injunctions in federal courts, when the
states are directly concerned, the &C.
ton of Judge Pritchard in North Car
olina is incomprehensible upon any
theory except that he was attempting
to bluff the state authorities. Section
720 Of the revised statutes Of the
United States provides that:
"The writ of injunction shall not be
granted by any court of the United
States to stay proceedings in any
court of a state except in cases when
such Injunction may be authorized by
any law relating to proceedings in
bankruptcy"
Now, the injunction granted by
Judge Pritchard, forbidding the state
authorities to execute the rate law,
was not authorized by any law relat-
ing to proceedings in bankruptcy, and
was, therefore, expressly prohibited
by section 720, above quoted. This
section was called to his attention on
the hearing of the injunction suit, but
he deliberately violated it. He sub
stituted the unfounded contentious of
the railroad attorneys for the supreme
law of the land. When the state au-
thorities refused to obey his unlawful
order the railroad attorneys and the
Republican organs talked loudly Of a
clash between federal and state troops
and tried to brighten the people Of
North Carolina and Gov. Glenn. The
officials of the department Of justice
talked about Instruction in North
Carolina, thereby ~insinuating that
the army of the United States would
be used to support and enforce Judge
Pritchard's unlawful orders. But Gov.
Glenn and the North Carolina judges
stood firm. Grand juries were in
structed to indict railroad employees
and officials who violated the state
law as they would any other law
breakers. Gov. Glenn proposed to
call the Legislature in extra session
and recommend the repeal Of the char
ter of the Southern railway. Presi-
dent Finley of that road was arrested.
The securities Of the road declined
three and one-fourth points on the
market in M day, entailing a loss of
$1,000, 900. Next day the conspirators
retreated. They agreed to obey the
law of the state, Notwithstanding
Judge Pritchard's injunction and the
arrangement about rebate coupons for
excess of fare made in pursuance of
1t. They knew they were wrong.
They knew 1t from the beginning.
Judge Pritchard knew 1t. He knew
that he was violating section 100 of
the revised statutes. But for the
courage and honesty of Gov. Glenn he
would have been able to establish a
precedent which would have destroyed
all the police powers of the states and
made railroad corporations complete
masters of the country.

In the third week of my campaign,
Melville was so deeply involved that
ne had to let the two others take the
whole burden upon themselves.
In the fourth week, Langdon came
to me.
The interval between his card and
himself gave me a chance 10 recover
from my amazement. When he en-

it's brassy glitter of the vanity of
luxury and show. I had been some

sight of him would stir up in me a
tempest Of jealousy and hate; as |
looked, l realized that | did not know
my own nature. "She does not love
this man." | thought. IF she did or
could, she would not be the woman |

as he deceived mine"

him politely, much as IL he were a
stranger making an untimely Inter

tone threw him into confusion. You

hating but heroic attempt at his GUS

The Draqo Doctrine,

President Castro of Venezuela
seems to be hankering after trouble,
for he fatty refuses to arbitrate the
five American claims that have been

submit a case to arbitration or to any
fair means Of settlement"
