The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1907-04-04

The chief executive of the metropolis
of Wisconsin is being gently criticised
for having written: Il hope Mr.. Kelly
will not presume to speak for me in any
thing he may have said,
But, let us see. The sentence quoted
is not necessarily censurable. 1t Is
susceptible of being so construed as to
make it appear to be entirely permlssl'
BILE.
We may legitimately suppose that the
writer of the sentence in question con
ceived that 1cLich Mr.. hay may hare
said as being a permanent something
that is now on record. We may also
justify the supposition that the gentle
man who penned the sentence under
discussion had, at the time he wrote that
sentence, a conception of the possibility
that Mr.. Kelly's mental attitude with
reference to what 'he may have said
was permanent in a sense.
The two foregoing legitimate premises
may be rightly viewed as constituting
the major and the minor premise of
syllogism. ThiF much being established
the conclusion Is inevitable that it n'ay
be considered to be altogether logical,
grammatical and permissible to write;
Il hope Mr. Kelly will not presume to
speak for me in anything he may have
said" that is, | hope that Mr. Kelly, re
ferring to certain statements ne has
made or may have made, will not now
presume TO speak for me in that record
that permanent bit Of literature.

a good figure, it was no bettcr as
timekeeper than that famous watch
of Capt. Cuttle's. Another friend
bought buggy at $34 and was elated
over his purchase until it came and
he saw that the top was a very ordin-
airy article of oil cloth, instead OF
leather, and he was so ashamed of 1t
that. he sold 1t at loss to his hired
man and bought a better one in
neighboring town. A lady and her
two daughters bought shoes from the
catalogue and when asked why they
had trouble with their feet said it was
because of ill-ftting shoes. But such
instances of the bad effects of buy
ing sight unseen" are daily occurring
all over the country. 1t is only natur-
al and inevitable that such things
should happen.
Let us see what will be the effect
of this formidable diversion of trade,
If carried to it's logical conclusion.
Nearly all the business houses of the
smaller towns will become bankrupt,
the value of town property will de-
cline. churches and schools will re-
ccive a feeble support and the towns,
instead Of being centers of business
and social activity, will almost cease
to exist. The country in general will
become like many portions Of the
south where the large plantations, by
getting their supplies in the cities,
have kept the neighbOring towns
down to the crossroads type-dreary,
implanted little places of half dozen
ramshackle houses. The evil effects
of this loss of trade and destruction
Of the value of town property Will re
act upon the value of farm property
BY cutting off the home market. They
will add to the taxes on lands by re-
ducing taxable values in the towns.
Surely it is not to the interest of any
body, except the bloated corporations
carrying on the mail order business,
to see the towns and villages fall into
decay. A live town is not only OF
value to the lands surrounding it, but
its well stocked business houses are
a convenience and a benefit TO the
buyer. Even II money could, in the
long run. be saved by ordering every.
thing from the city the Inconvenience
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1907-04-04

and uncertainty OF it would always
make such shopping unsatisfactory.
Ordering from catalogue is a leap
in the dark, except in the case of a
few articles whose color, shape and
quality are always the same.
To the man who can soberly look
on both sides Of the question and who
can put himself in the place of the
other fellow" the query will come:
Is it best from mere whim, or even
for a certainty of saving from one to
half a dozen dollars in year to turn
my back on the old, convenient ways
of doing business, and to do my part
toward running the business of my
old acquaintance and friends, and OF
destroying the value OF property in
the town where my friends live?

articles below the usual prices are OF
an inferior quality, while the average
price is usually fully up to what would
