And he might have gone further and stated that it is Mrs. Fanny O. Eddy who has offered the site and that is located just east of the O. N. E. crossing on East Main street.

A REAL GOVERNOR

Rollin s. Woodruff proposes to be gov ernor of the state of Connecticut during his tenure of office. The recent official decapitation of tax commissioner, and other acts along the same line, prove beyond shadow of doubt the governors s earnestness of purpose. and his intention to fulfill the promises to the common wealth that he made when he assumed his official duties. He has no political debts to pay, is subject to dictation from no one. He is free and untrammeled and there appears to be no reason why he should not be governor for the people, and not for the politicians and lobbyists. He will make enemies, in fact he has done so already. Whenever and wherever he has opposed graft he has of necessity antagonized somebody, and all such people will oppose him If he secures renomination (which possi- bility is already being discussed). But on the other hand, he will have so thor oughly ingratiated himself into public confidence and esteem, if he is as faith ful to his trust in the future as he has been thus far, that the independent voters will flock to his support in sutfi- cient numbers to reelect him.

MAIL ORDER METHOD.

A man who has been for some time connected with the mail order business gave away one of the trade secrets the other day. These mail order houses have of late, he says, taken to subscrlb- ing for local papers in the various states.
 The papers are read carefully. not the news pages but those containing the advertising The concerns note the lines of goods that are NOT advertised by the local business men. For instance, if they find that in a certain community the dry goods dealers, the shoe dealers and the jewellers do not advertise in the home paper, they immediately procure list of the names of the people in that particular section and send them large quantities of matter advertising dry goods, shoes and jewelry. In brief, they take advantage of the man whose lack of enterprise, regardless of the busi- ness in which he is engaged, is apparent to them from the fact that he does not advertise. They know that the man who advertises regularly and iberally is up to-date, and that they do not stand one chance of making inroads into his patron age, when they have ten chances in the case of the man who does not tell the public, through the local press, what he has to sell.
 The mail order business is assuming larger Proportions daily, the firms get every cents worth of their patronage by advertising, and the merchant who does not employ advertising in "holding uI his end" is bound to be the loser.

Medicine Compan'

The above is certainly the limit of cheek and audacity. First they want their advertising placed in the most choice position in the paper and handled at about one-third of the regular rates, and then, when they see the possibility of the enactment of law that will be more or less inimical to their interests, they come forward and ask the press to con- bat the bill in their behalf. Not hint do they drop that the papers will receive a cent of remuneration, not even do they extend "thanks in advance" They be- liove that every paper which has received their one-third rate advertising proposi- tions should at once take up the cudgel in behalf of the makers of so-called Ire medies." Perhaps there are papers in this state that will do this. THE NEWS isn't one of them. The patent medicine concerns will pay for what they get in the columns of this paper, and they Il pay the regular rates, too.

MORE PATENT MEDICINE CHEEK

In the recent past we took occasion to enlighten our readers on the methods which tue patent medicine concerns em- ploy when doing business (or attempt ing to) with the country newspapers.
 Our mail on a recent morning con- tained letter from the manufacturers of a preparation advertised as 8 catarrh cure. At first we thought we wouldn't take the trouble to open it as proposl- tions to accept $1O for $30 worth of ad- yertising don't interest us and this con- cern, like others of It's ilk, has spent considerable money in stationery and postage stamps on previous occasions In making us such offers. The result has been that-well, you'll not find any of this sort of advertising in the paper you hold in your hand this instant.
 But that letter. We finally did open the envelope and found it to contain a letter that for pure, unadulterated gall, nerve and presumption overtopped even the advertising propositions of the "cure- alp manufacturers. In brief this con- cern wanted us to immediately begin to work for the passage of drug act that will be favorable to their business if 1t becomes law.
 We reproduce sentences which ap- peared here and there in that letter: We beg to call your attention to House Bill No 746 purporting to regulate the sale of proprietary medicines. We would appreciate it very much if you will take this matter up immediately and see if you cannot get them to pass the National Pure Food and Drug Act \ %# If you can get this law introduced in your state, it will give universal law which will be much better for those who are compelled to do business in the several states Y 4 x We would ask you to advocate the National Pure Food and Drugs act in your state. Kindly take the matter up immediately as it is very important to all proprietary and drug interests. Trusting that you will give this your prompt attention, we are
 Yours very respectfully,
