crate intent to deceive. One OF the
instances given by this congressman
was of some thousands of finger rings
stamped fourteen carats" when they
were in reality only ten.
The buyer who orders from his
catalogue, or from an advertisement,
does not see the articles till they
come and is often disappointed in the
quality Of the most of them, but there
is no redress as there would ba If he
bought at home. He does not like to
own that he is disappointed, so he
makes the best of it and tries to per-
suade himself that he has saved
money. In many instances he Is not
well enough informed In values to
know that he could have bought as
cheaply and selected much more sat
isfactorily at home. On rural route
with which / am familiar and over
which most Of the incoming letters
are from mail order houses and the
outgoing ones carry back money or
ders, lives a friend of mine who
bought a watch from Che catalogue at
what he considered a rare bargain.
The watch came, to be sure, but it did
not go, that is at the right speed,
and, although money enough was
spent on it to bring the price up to
a good figure, it was no better as
timekeeper than that famous watch
of Capt Cuttle's. Another friend
bought a 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 ashamedrof it
that he sold it at loss to his hired
man and bought 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 its logical conclusions.

Nearly all the business houses OF me
smaller towns will become bankrupt,
the value of town property will de-

ceive 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

ramshackle houses. The evil effects
of this loss of trade and destruction
of the value Of town property will re-
actsupon 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 II is not to the interest OF any

carrying on the mail order business,
to see the towns and villages fall into

On March II the Commoner announc-
ed the Primary Pledge" organization
plan. This plan provides for Democrats
to sign pledge, binding themselves to
attend all primaries of their party be-
tween now and the national campaign Of
1908. 1t is practical method for the
organization of the party by the rank and
file, in order that it may prove true to its
name and be the efficient servant of the
people in the establishment ofreform.
A little investigation will convince you
that the Commoner has hit upon FEAST
Bile and effective method of persuading
Democrats to participate in the councils
OF their party.
These pledges are pouring into the
Commoner Office by thousands, where
they are carefully filled by State, county
and voting precinct.
Ifthe same intense interest that has
been manifested in this great organiza-
ton work during the past year shall be
maintained during the next two years,
the total enrolled membership will at
that time exceed four million Democratic
voters.
Men who are interested in national life
will be interested in the progress of this
great organization.

barbering, blacksmithing or the serv-
ing of soft drinks and ice cream may
survive, but such lines of trade can
not sustain a decent town." The
cause of this widespread loss of bust
ness is the aggressive and destructive
competition of the catalogue houses
in the big cities. 1t has been possible
for 40 years or more to buy of some
houses in the cities, IL one felt that
the merchants of his town were ex-
acting too much profit, but this effort
of. the mail order houses to cut the
retailer altogether is a new thing, the
growth of the past few years. Start
ing with a few lines of trade, this
form of competition has come to cover
almost everything that can be sold in
country town and 1t is even asserted
that a savings bank department Is to
be added by one of the catalogue
houses.
The claim that, the mail order
houses of Chicago are doing an an
nual business of over $200,000,000 may
seem large, but one house alone has
sold goods to, the amount of $29, 000,-
600 In the past six, months and Is now
incubating a new plan to increase its
enormous business by selling shares
of stock to thousands of people in the
hope of making them regular GUS
toners.
The skillfully warded advertisement
and the big catalogue, with its pic

trade, are very alluring to buyers.
most of whom are not familiar with
prices and qualities. Some of the
articles below the usual priceseare of
an inferior quality, while the average
price is usually fully up to what would
be paid to the home dealer. AS was
shown last winter in speech in con-
gress, articles for the mail order trade
are often misbranded at the request
of the mail order people with DELHI

THE TROUBLE OVER
Ex-MANAGER STAHL

President Noyes Of the Washington Base
Ball Club arrived home late last evening
from Cincinnati. where he had been in at
tendance at meeting of the national COM
mission. before which ex-Manager Stahl
had plea. claiming that he should be re-
leased on account of being a discharged
manager. Mr.. Noyes also attended the
banquet rendered to President Comskey
Of the Chicago club Saturday night and
had long conference with Manager Can
tilon.
The reports of row between Messrs
Noyes and Johnson have been exaCger-
ated. Mr.. Stahl has been making his
Headquarters In Chicago at Mr. Jolmson's
Office. and the president of the American
League has championed his cause There Is
only a difference of opinion existing moth
ing more. Mr. Noyes believes that Mr.
Johnson has not treated the Washington
club right in the Stahl matter as the ex-
manager has hardly case to argue over
a belief that Is held by two members of the
commission. Messrs. Hermann and Pull
lam. No decision was given out by the
commission, but report Is expected from
Cincinnati today.
President Noyes says that Manager Cam
tillon Is very much pleased with the Ma
tionals and expects to make a good show
ing with the team
In Graham, Blankenship and Perriue."
said Mr.. Cantillon, Il believe I have three
of the best players that have come from the
minors to the big leagues this season. and
with the addition of these men | think the
team Is very much stronger than last
year
Manager Cantlllon is particularly i'm
pressed with Right Fielder Bob Ganley.
ms young man mas been doing remark
able work since joining the team at Gal
weston. and if he is able to keep I'D his
present stride he will be one OF the stars
OF the American League. He is a player

SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING.
Address at Meeting Of Association Of
Accountants

At the semi-monthly meeting of the Asso-
citation of American Government Account
ants in the lecture hall of the Public IL
brary last evening Mr.. Sidney R. Jacobs.
chief Of the miscellaneous division, office
of the auditor for the State and other de-
partments, read paper on the Assembling
of Checks and Vouchers and the Verifca-
ton of Disbursing Officers Balances" In
advocating such plan of disbursement the
lecturer stated that until the checks and
vouchers are brought together no safe
audit of the officers accounts can be made.
In explaining his plan for assembling the
disbursing officers checks Mr. Jacobs
stated that one OF the greatest benefits
would be the time and labor saved the dis
bursting officers themselves in that the ex-
ira work would fall to the lot of the de-
positaries, such as preparing duplicate
monthly statements of all of the officers
accounts sent to the Treasury Department
with the paid checks. The system would
make verification surer and easier for the
Secretary of the Treasury and eliminate
the present signing of receipts before pay
ment, and prevent the use of duplicate
vouchers as means of fraudulent claims
for credit.
