BUILDING UP HOME TRADE.
Local Merchants Must Advertise to
Compete With Persistent Outsiders.

Local Merchants Must Advertise to
Compete With Persistent Outsiders.
"A hundred years ago 1t was not
necessary to do any considerable
amount of advertising, but this Is the
twentieth century, and conditions are
quite different" says an old advertis
Ing expert. Nowadays the merchant
who neglects to put his wares before
the public through the public prints is
surely destined to so away back and
sit down, while his more up to date
competitors keep going toward the
front. Advertising is the life of trade
That statement has been made so often
that it is trite. but it is always true.
"Much is heard in these days about
the mail order concerns in the big cities
taking away the trade of the mer-
chants in the smaller towns and cities.
1t is an undeniable fact that the cata-
losue, with it's price list Of everything
under the sun, accompanied by numer-
GUS alluring cuts to represent the goods
offered, is attracting millions Of dol
lars from the great public pocket. This
money before the invention Of the mail
order scheme went into the pockets Of
local merchants. The mail order peo-
pie also persistently advertise their
wares in the various little publications
which are known to the trade as mail
order Journals Thus the town and
country people are kept constantly i'll
touch with possible bargains. having
only to send in an order by mail and
receive the goods, whether satisfac
tory or not, by return mall
"Some local merchants make great
to do about this sapping Of their,sub-
stance, but If they fail to take the
only obvious method Of self defense
there is not much sympathy to be-
wasted upon them. The only obvious
method is to shoot the same kind Of
ammunition that Is shot by the compel.
ing houses in the big cities This am
munition is called advertising. Every
small town now has its local weekly
newspaper. which practically every
body In the town and its outlying ter
ritory reads regularly, Every good
sized town has it's daily paper. These
must load with the proper sort of am
munition if they expect to fight the
competition from the outside.
"In many towns the merchants have
discovered this fact and are lombard

the battle usually show that the bonn
bardment Is effective. OF course a

Those who hold that advertising doesn't

'FRiScO'S JhP TROUBLE.

Washington. May 28.-At the cabi-
net meeting today Attorney General
Bonaparte laid before the President
and Secretary Root the report OF Dis
trict Attorney Delvin of San Francisco
on tie alleged assault on Japanese res
ic2nts Of that city. The report. Mr..
Eonaparte says. shows that the first
stories Of the alleged assault were ex-
agGerated and that the difficulty ap-
pcared to be \ lack of police protection
on account OF the street car troubles.
Secretary Root took the report with
him and if any further action is taken
it will be by the state department.
Sec. Root today received the fol-
lowing telegram from the governor OF
California in answer to a message Of
inquiry relative to the attack upon
Jap&resc i'll San Francisco last Tues
day:
san Francisco. Cal, May q.
Your telegram Of May Is concern
ing assault made upon Japanese re-
ceived. VIII call attention of chief Of
police Of San Francisco at once to your
telegram and request him to use every
effort to protect these people. Think the
assaults were due largely to uncertain
conditions existing in San Francisco
by reason OF the labor trouble.

Churchill. sit was not with the hope OF
obtaining office, but with the idea of
advocating certain principles OF Amer
lean government involving the liberties
of the people. which have been allowed
to lapse in this and other states.
mistakes in the conduct OF such a
battle are not peculiar to New Hamp-
shire; they are perhaps inevitable and
will be pardoned by the people when m
is known that these mistakes We're
made in good faith. One thing at least
has become clearer than ever, that the
promises of the political machine
(which is interested in the perpetual
tion Of things as they are) cannot in
the future be relied upon. Since I have
for the principles in the last Republic
can platform until they become faws
of New Hampshire. and since to advo-
cato them as a candidate would not
only he distasteful to me, but. in my
opinion. seriously impair my usefulness,
it seems wise to make public a deter
mination known to my friends, that I
will not be a candidate for the nominal
tion to the governorship despite all ru-
mors to the contrary.
1T has long been evident that a
broad organization IS necessary of all
who are in sympathy with the spirit
of the last Republican platform. Pres
idential year is at hand and such an
organization will unquestionably unite
itself with those elements which are
fighting for progressive measures and
political purity in the nation at large
in order that delegates may be elected
to the next national convention to
nominate a presidential candidate who
will represent these elements"
