A LESSON FOR MERCHANTS

There is a lesson for every mer-
chant in the experience told by a rep
resentative of a Chicago mail-order
house to a gathering of newspaper
men up in Iowa, says the Topeka Jour-
nal.
He said that the mail-Order business
depended entirely upon advertising.
He made one remark that merchants
should heed. He said that they take
the local paper and direct their spe-
cial efforts to communities where the
merchants are not up-to-date adver-
tiSerS.
If the mail-order man finds that any
line of business in any town or city
is not well advertised he said that they
flood that territory with literature, and
always with satisfactory results. He
believed is true. He said that cOun-
try merchants could greatly cripple
the mail-or business if they would
advertise freely and in the right man.
ner. He said that every advertise
ment should describe all articles to be
sold and state the prices.
Here is food for thought by mer-
chants who fear The effects of mail
order houses.-Dunnellon Advocate.

STANDS UP FOX
THE UNIVERSITY.

The merchants and manufacturers
association recently sent to Manson
a committee of representative men VINO
appeared before the joint committee
on education and presented arguments
in favor of the continuance Of a Ilber-
al policy in support of the university
President Van Hise gave public recog-
milton of their good work as follows:
tThere is no denying the fact that
the work Of the university or any uni
versity in the country is Of vital I'M
portancn and interest TO the WhoIe
world Of business. The Milwaukee
men realize that fact and they ala noI
need to have advice from Us to make
them aware Of it. Bismarck was cor
rect when be said that the growth OF
the colleges in Germany would push
the nation ahead Events have prov
ed his wisdom. The same is true OF
this country. Business men are be-
ginning to realize it more and more
fOrcibly and | was indeed glad to see
real evidence of their belief in the
work we are doing.
''It was still more gratifying to see
the wide stand that the Milwaukee
men took. They will not advocate the
extension of work 10 the engineering
or commercial departments to the sac
rifce of the college of letters and
science"
The men of Milwaukee are wise and
right in standing up for the University
of Wisconsin. 1t is a laudable pur-
pose to have it's great college of leu
ters and sciences excel any other
educational institution in the land.

Milwaukee Journal: Did you ever
come to the parting of ways. Ever
since you were a yOungster, you have
heard of such a place; even now, while
you are reading this, you are think-
ing that the subject has been worked
to death. You are of the opinion that
YOU have had the moral forced upon
you often enough.
1t may be true that the subject is
we'll worn. 1t may be true that you
grasped the moral years and years
ago. But it may also be true that you
never applied the moral to your own
life.
In San Francisco-we take San
Francisco because it is so far away
from you-there is a mayor who came
to the parting OF ways. He was a
good mayor as mayors go, so it is
said. He made promises of straight
dealing and hard work for the good
of his city. And because his fellow
citizens believed he would keep his
promises they lifted him from poor
play in an orchestra and placed him
at the executive head of great mum
icipality.
The mayor meant to keep his prom
ises. But suddenly he came to a part
ing of The ways. For some time he
did not realize that he must make a
decision. He was shown that he could
become comparatively rich by simply
passing the word to those under him
that they should vote in certain way.
When he was shown this he realized
that he had come to the parting of the
ways.
On one hand was allegiance to those
who had placed trust in him; on the
other, riches and sacrifice of self-re-
spect.
For one moment he hesitated. His
hesitation was his downfall. The
bride money was passed, the word was
passed along. The mayor is standing
under the shadow of indictment. One
of those to whom the word was passed

a. Progressive Newspaper.

Editor Ed L. Lucknow, in Baraboo
Democrat: One of the most progress
sive newspapers in the northwest is
the Milwaukee Daily Journal, and it
continues to give evidence of this fact
from time to time. Since the paper
was founded by L. w. Nieman twenty
five years ago, the Journal has oc-
cupied several buildings and each
time the business has OutgrOWn the
allotted space. Just now the Journal
is getting settled in new building of
its own, and it is likely to remain
there for some time to come, if not
forever, because the company has
additional ground adjoining the build
ing, and the foundations are con-
structed so as to carry additional
stories in case it becomes necess airy
for a portion of the Journal force to
to live still higher. The present COM
modiOus building consists of three
floors, all the departments being
equipped with the latest appliances
necessary in the production of met
ropolitan newspaper. In the case of
the Journal it has not been necessary
to go west in order to grow up, it
having prospered on the east side of

Sad Funeral Held.

The Storm Lake Iowa. Pilot-Tri-
bune of April Y gives an account of
the funeral of Miss Vale James, only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. D.
James. Her death, as heretofore
stated in this paper, occurred at Silver
City New Mexico, on Wednesday
morning, April 3. The remains were
taken to Storm Lake, and the burial
was on Monday, April s, Rev. w. j.
Carr officiated and paid a fitting tri-
butte to the beautiful life that had
gone out. The Pilot Tribune says:
Thus ends the life of one of Storm
Lakes most beloved daughters, be-
loved for her kindly feeling, her large
heart, her tender solicitude for friends
and q heart that thought no evil.
Vale James embodied the virtues and
the graces which endear not alone the
the immediate relatives and close
friends, but the passing acquaintance
as we'll and her taking off has cast
gloom over the entire city. Business
was suspended as an unusual mark
of respect during the funeral cere-
mony, bespeaking the general sor-
row which is felt"

THE ISSUE OF 1908.

TO THE DEMOCRAT: 1t seems that
we democrats are not the only ones
who are doing some thinking on the
tariff. An old acquaintance the othe"
day said to me, Are you as insistont
now as you used to be that prOtec
tive tariff is robbing u.s."
replied, "Certainly, | believe it
has been and is now rObbing us. I
have seen or heard or read nothing to
change my mind on that, but on the
contrary | have seen, heard and read
much during the past twenty years to
confirm that conviction"
His next remark was, "Well, are
you aware that protection" as a
public policy is in greater favor
among the people today than it has
ever been, that today there is less
chance of lowering the tariff than
there has been for many years."
mo, such statements mean nothing,
if you believe that let me have your
reasons
"Well sir, it is dollars and cents
that count in politics as in everything
else nowadays, and you know the men
who are making cotton goods in the
New England states, those who are
making iron and steel products in the
Middle Atlantic and Eastern states,
have regularly kept men in congress
who favored protection. The farming
states of the west have also sent a
goodly number of men to congress
who have voted for high tariff taxes.
The most pronounced and active OPP
pOuents OF protection in the past have
come from the southern states.
Now, do you know, manufacturers
of cotton goods from New England
are going into the south and are
erecting great cotton mills; that iron
and steel plants are springing up near
the great beds of coal and iron in the
south; that new railroads are being
built there and old lines extended?
Do you realize that all this means a

has revealed to jury of his peers
what had been ranking in his heart
for weeks and months. This man was
the driver of a bakery wagon before
he was placed in municipal Office. He
says be has learned his lesson. He
wants to get back to his bakery wag-
on and to honesty.
Have you ever come to the place
where the ways part? If you haven't,
you are certain to some day; and the
ways will part suddenly before you,
just as they did before the San Fran
cisco mayor. Are you prepared to
stand at the parting of the ways?
Do you believe in yourself? No man
is too strong to ask himself this ques-
ton. You may have to answer it
within the next TED minutes.
