Following the arrest of Samuel

nesday night, it is said, they were re-

The inspectors learned at the eX-

a certain printing house had shipped,
it is alleged, numerous packages to
Conkle, and when the son of the man
owning the printing house was called
on to make an affidavit that none of
the printing had been done there, he
refused to do so. However. the young
man is said to have given information
which led to finding a number of cuts
and two plates for printing tinted
paper
Among the cuts was one of the
Ultra Rio Grande Lottery Co., of con
cern of which the inspectors had
heard nothing before The cut was
for circulars advertising a drawing of
$4,000 by the company. In addition
to the arrest of Conkle, two other
men have been taken into custody
here. According to the United States
authorities numerous other arrests
will be made in connection with the
case.

The Whipple mine is located with.

the White Oak Fuel Co. The mine is
one of the best equipped in this field.
The cage and shaft was damaged,

night. The cause of the explosion is
not known, but probably was the re.
suit of firing a heavy shot at the face
of the works.

USED DYNAMITE.
Man on Trial for Wrecking a Church
Makes a Confession in Court.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-There was q
sensation in the criminal court
late Wednesday when Stephen Say
age confessed on the witness stand
that he was one of the men who
wrecked the Welsh Congregational
church at Edwardsville, near here,
two years ago, by dynamite.
Savage and Joseph Chunowsky
were arrested some time ago, charged
with the crime. According to Saw
ages confession he and Chunowsky
met in a saloon in Edwardsville
where they were told by two men
that if they destroyed the church
they would receive $125, which
money, it was alleged, was to be paid
by certain saloonkeepers who had
been refused liquor licenses by the
court.
In order to get the money Savage
claimed that he and Chunowsky went
to the church with several sticks OF
dynamite and placed them under the
front part of the building. Savage
said he was too drunk to get over 4
fence nearby, but that Chunowsky did
so and lighted the fuse.
In his testimony Chunowsky denied
most emphatically the statement
made by Savage. He claimed that be
knew nothing about the explosion ua-
til some time after it had occurred.

price; maybe it gives picture of the
article also, but you don't see the
goods. The local merchant shows you
the goods; you may examine them
critically; he may allow you to test
them or to call in an expert to advise
you. Is it fair to conclude that the
catalogue article is the cheaper just
because the price is lower?
An element that must enter into the
comparison of goods and prices is,
that in any attempt to fool the Gus
toner, the local merchant is decided
ly at disadvantage. He must show
the goods, not merely describe them.
His business depends wholly upon the
limited trading area of his town and
his ability to inspire confidence within
that circle. He cannot afford to make
practice of misrepresenting his
goods.
The mail order house is not so tied
down to the maxim that Honesty is
the best policy" 1t has no neighbors
no fellow citizens, no mutual interests
with its patrons. It's trade area is
wide and always shifting Naturally
| these conditions do not demand extra
ordinary vigilance in supplying hon
| est-made goods. And where Vigilance
is not needed employe in the bust
ness he is generally taken off the paw
roll, which makes saving in expense
as well as in the cost of the goods. IL
lower prices are quoted by the cata-
logue house, may not this account for
| it?
VIII it pay?" Is 1t a matter of
economy to buy inferior and damaged
| goods when the same money, or even
little more, will pay for goods of the
best quality? Which course does a
mans first duty to his own household
dictate?
But to get at the bottom of that
question, we must consider the far.
reaching general effect of mail order
trading. If single catalogue houses
are to be capitalized at $4,000, 900.
they must be reckoned with along
with STANDARD Oil, the beef trust and
railroad mergers. If they are allowed
to suck the blod from our country
towns, your grandchildren will find
conditions much the same as those of
your grandfather's time Their mar.
kets will be 30, so or Is miles away.
The towns and villages will be de.
serted. and the hubs will be too dis.
tant to send the radiating spokes of
rural mail, telephone lines and other
modern conveniences far into the
country.

TWO BIG QUESTIONS
THE "MORAL OBLIGATION" AND
"DOES 1T PAY?"
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
An Honest Answer to These VIII
Keep the Trade with the
Home Merchant Every
Time.

copyrighted, 1906 by Alfred C. Clark }
When the thrifty person or his wife
sits down for the first time-or any
'time-with the mail order catalogue
and its temptations, there are two,
and only two, points to be taken into
consideration.
One of these is moral obligation,
and the chances are that that will be
dismissed as sentimental nonsense.
The other is-Will it pay? and to
that the thrifty person will be in
1clined to interpret an answer from the
prices quoted in black-faced figures in
tthe catalogue.
Neither of these questions should
be lightly dismissed. Moral obliga-
tion is not sentimental nonsense, and
black-faced figures sometimes lie.
The duty a man owes to his own
community and his obligation to trade
at home are so often reiterated in the
country press that, possibly like some
4of the preaching, it has a tendency
10 harden the hearts of the sinners.
What has your neighboring town
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1907-05-09

given you, Mr.. Farmer? A market for
your produce. What has made 25 to
80 per cent. of the present value of
your farm? The accessibility of a
market. You know what your grand
father did on that same farm? Drove
his hogs and hauled his grain 80, So
maybe rs miles to the nearest market
town, and received prices for them
that would make you howl about the
trusts And he hauled back the fam
lily supplies for which he paid what
you would consider monopolistic
prices. Do you happen to know what
the old farm was worth then? Well,
r. it lacked a good deal of being SIS or
500 an acre.
Yes, the home town, with its handy
market, has advanced the value of
your property and made you worth
several thousand dollars more than
your grandfather was worth. The
fhome town affords schooling for your
children, and perhaps social and
church privileges which your family
would not otherwise enjoy. The rural
mail routes and telephone systems
vradiating from the home town, as
spokes from hub, bring to your
home the greatest conveniences of
modern times.
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers of newly-opened
reservation do is to send for a wagon
load of mail order catalogues? Well,
haven't. They lay out a town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
three general stores, build a school
house, church, a blacksmith shop, a
grain elevator, petition the depart
iment for a post office, and start a
newspaper. They know, from former
experience that, with these things
, close by, life will be endurable, what
= ever hardships may come. They know,
also, that without them they must live
lives of isolation and endure an exist
ence that is contrary to all natural
human instincts.
On the other hand, it goes without
saying, that the average country town
canno. exist without the support of
its tributary territory. Then, if that
town affords the advantages for the
rural citizen that have been enumerat-
ed, there exists what we may call an
linterdependence and moral obliga.
ition between the two. Are you, Mr..
Thrifty Farmer, living up to that OBJ
legation when you do your trading
with the mail order house?
To this line of argument the farmer
may answer that his greatest obliga.
ttion, his first duty, is to his immediate

a Friqhtful Record.

household, and that among the duties
to his family and to the heirs of his
estate is that of practicing judicious
economy-buying where he can buy
the cheapest and to the best advan.
tage. And this brings us to the sec.
ond point in the argument-the para
mount question in this commercial
age-"Will it pay?"
BY most people an Affirmative an
swer to that question is accepted as
the call of duty. AS matter of fact,
"Will it pay?" is a good test to apply
to any project or proposition. There
are commercial, as well as political,
demagogues, and the man who is ap.
pealed to on the score of patriotism
or profit duty or dollars, can scarcely
do better than to sit down by himself
and submit that question-"Will 1t
pay?"-to his own best judgment.
Provided always, that he goes to the
very bottom of it,
What are the relative advantages of
buying at the local store and ordering
from catalogue house? Advantages,
understand, that figure in the ques-
ton, "Will it pay?" Don't get away
from that question. 1t certainly is
very comfortable to sit down by your
own flreside and select dress pattern
or a sulky plow from printed des-
cription and picture of the article;
much more comfortable, in fact, than
hitching up and driving to town on a
raw day.
A consideration more important,
perhaps, is that the printed price in
the catalogue seems, in some cases at
least, to be lower than the price
quoted at the local store. Isn't that
conclusive? Let's see. The catalogue
describes the goods and quotes a
