MAIL ORDER EVIL
ITS RISE is NOT THE RESULT OF
LEGITIMATE DEMAND.
DUE ENTIRELY TO GREED
And 1t Feeds Upon the Prosperity
of the Country Towns-A
Menace to the
Nation.

Copyrighted, 1906. by alfred c.. Clark
As the years go by we are more
than ever brought face TO face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit OIL
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the coun'"y
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done t O forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions rs years ago were
satisfactory. AT that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were 'mCnarchs o [
all they surveyed" so to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
so much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally, and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this vas the height OF

say Come to Smiths to trade,
cheapest place on earth" He must
describe his merchandise as he would
in private conversation over the coun-
ter to a customer, and then quote the
price. This will nearly always act as
a clincher and will at least put him
on a standing with the catalogue
house. In fact it will give him al adj
vantage over the catalogue house, for
in almost every case he can sell the
same grade of merchandise cheaper
than the catalogue house a sell it
This is not mere theory but a state
ment of fact, for the reason that the

ated at a very much less expense than
that of the mail order merchant.
There are a thousand and one items
of expense which the city merchant
has to meet that are entirely unknown
to the country merchant.
The time is rapidly approaching
when people who p~atronize mail order
houses will be looked upon as soon

did you ever hear of a cas- where any

help to build any OF our SchoOlhouses
! You never heard of a case OF this kind
and you never will. All these eastern
sharks care for is your dollar. and
you know It, and when they have got

them? You 81 go to your home mer

hence the contentment

their ambition, hence the .contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con-
tent with conditions of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way OF
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people, this plan appealed TO
them and it was adopted. At first they
operated on a small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added to his adver-
Using fund. And so it has continued
until to-day millions Of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermost in the minds OF
country merchants for several years
past; some advocating n plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. II the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building UP his OWL
locality. He realizes the fact that ii
his farm is to be valuable it must be
farmed in the most scientific manner

kept up in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be 10,
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that farm land
brings a much better price when near
to some good town OF village. 1t is
not hard to get the farmer to realize
this, for if he ever sold any farm land
or tried to sell any, he knows this to
be Il fact. Well, then. after he has
realized this fact, the thing for him
to do is to %patronize his home mer
chants and business men, so they may
be able to build and maintain a good
town.
Public schools are much better il
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population Il
most dense, there is more taxable
property to the amount of territory
covered, hence there is more none:
collected for school purposes. and as
a result more and better teachers arc
employed. All this is of the highest

CHURCH ALL WORLD
PASTOR WHO REACHES FOLLOW
ERs THROUGH NEWSPAPERS.
Some Facts Concerning the Life Work
Of Rev. Charles T. Russell
Who Has Been Misrep-
resented.

Allegheny, Pa.-One of the busiest
men in the United States is Charles
II. Russell, of Allegheny.
Some people call him Rev. Charles
T. Russell, but he himself disclaims
all titles, believing that as Jesus and
the apostles disclaimed them so
should he.
Russell is the leader of a religious
movement which has it's followers all
over the world. He is not the orig
inator of a sect, but simply claims
membership in the original church
institution of the scriptures, therein
described simply as "the church,
whose names are written in heaven"
1t has no houses of worship Of
It's own, and Pastor RusselIs plan
for reaching his numerous and widely
scattered followers with his discourses
is a unique one.
He travels a great deal, preaching
in opera houses in the large cities
of the country, and through arrange
ments with various newspapers gladly
printing the discourses because of the
increased circulation which accrues to
them through the subscriptions Of
Russell's many followers.
Thus he breaches each Sunday to a

Increased Speed Is Costly.

The extra one and one-half knots
that the big Cunard liners are to
make over the Kaiser Wilhelm IL,
Germany's fastest ship, require the
installation of 6S additional furnaces,
six more boilers, over $1,000 addition
al square feet of heating surface,
and the development of an additional
10000 horsepower. To provide for
the increased weight the ship has to
be heightened 1914 feet, b~roadened 16
feet, and deepened four feet, and the
displacement enlarged by $4,000 tons.
If turbines were not employed at least
$4,000 horsepower engines, with
shaft and screw propeller, would have
been necessary, and many difficulties
would have had to be solved to place
these so as t balance weights and
to avoid vibration. With rotary en-
gines substituted for reciprocating en-
gines there are economies of space
and other advantages.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1907-05-10

inducements made led to his resigna-
ton.
Mr.. Yerkes became commissioner OF
internal revenue December 20, 1900,
and has been in office owe six years.
His conduct of his Office has always
been highly satisfactory to the adj
ministration. Mr.. Yerkes for many
years has been prominent in Republi-
can politics of Kentucky and was at
one time the nominee of his party for
governor of that state. He has for
years been recognized by the president
as the head of his party, and his
recommendations as to patronage
have been followed. Efforts were re-
Gently made to have Mr.. Yerkes &C
cept the Republican nomination this
year., but he declined, knowing of his
intentions as to practicing law in this
city.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1907-05-10

ton. And right here is where the good
town proposition comes to him with
great force. He knows he can send
his children to the village school at a
great deal less expense than TO send
them away to college. and that in
most cases better results are OBJ
tanned.
If the farmer seriously desires all
these coed things he must of necessi-
ty help to build them. Let him under
stand that he is one Of the main
spokes In the great wheel of COM
merce in his vicinity and that he can
ill-afford to send abroad to purchase
even the smallest item of merchan-
disc, though it may seem to him that
he is saving a few cents by doing so.
1t seems that it could be easily
pointed out to him that if there was
no town near him and he had to drive
20 or 80 miles to take his produce 10
market and haul his groceries the
same distance home, he could easily
see that his land would greatly depre-
ciate in value and the disadvantages
he would encounter on every hand
would be very disastrous to his time
and he would gladly spend his money
at home to divert this calamity.
One of the most potent levers with
which to control trade in country To-
calities is the liberal use of printers
ink, coupled with intelligence in adj
vertising the wares of the merchant.
The catalogue houses employ the best
talent obtainable to write their adVer-
tisements and spend large sums OF
money in this way. Besides adyertls-
ing judiciously they advertise on a
large scale and consequently get the
business. The old saying that You
must fight the devil with fire" will APP
ply in this case. The home merchant
must advertise. He must do more than

congregation of hundreds of thou
sands.
Russell has been considerably dis
turbed of late over false and mislead-
ing accounts of his teachings and his
plans which have appeared in many
newsT pers.
Among other things, it was recent
ly announced that he was endeavoring
to get control of Dowie's Zion City
and turn it into a home for his fol
lowers.
Nothing could be more untrue
he declares. 81 nave no desire for
Zion City, and there have been no ne
gotiations whatever in the natter
1t has also been published that
Russell is the no-hell preacher'-be-
cause he teaches there is no place of
future fiery torment.
Pastor Russell declares that he does
not believe in hell as a place of eter-
nal torment, but holds that the 'sheol"
of the Old Testament and the "hades"
OF the New Testament is the state of
death-that mankind, because of orig
inal sin, is under a death sentence,
which affects all mentally, morally
and physically, and eliminates in the
tomb.
He holds that redemption was from
the tomb, that Christ died for humani-
tvs sins, and that as a result of this
redemption all mankind is ultimately
to be released from this state of death
and given instruction which will lead
to eternal life, if they are obedient to
such leading, in the Millennial age.
Nor does Pastor Russell doubt in
the least the existence of Satan,
though this has been alleged of him.
In a sermon which he recently de
livered on The Overthrow of Satan's
Empire he makes his position on
this point very clear, saying:
1--WE are aware that our Lords
words to Peter, Get thee behind me,
Satan are made the basis for the
denial that there is any personal devil
or subordinate demons. Our reply is
that although any man may become
an adversary of God Ga satan), the
scriptures everywhere speak of the
prime mover in evil as the devil, the
satan. He is the great murderer. He
murdered our first parents by deceiv
ing them, and thus induced them to be
d~isobedient to their Creator"
1t was recently stated in severa
that in a divorce trial
which resulted in the legal separa
ton of Pastor Russell and his wife
about a year ago, he had said, hi:
love was like that of a jellyfsh, IL
that it went out to any spirit which
responded"
This statement distressed Russell
considerably, inasmuch as the trutl
was that the remark in question wa
attributed to Russell by a witness dur
ing the trial, and was emphaticall.
