A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the rail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81 900, 900, and probably more,
for new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least $1,OO0,000 for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
ly on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence of the mail
order business is toward the central
ization of wealth, and how enormous
a part it is playing in this direction
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
1t is due to himself that every patron
of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be il the mail order busi-
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked it's prog
ress during the last half decade.
1t is useless to repeat the we'll worn
argument of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants in
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy of this
statement has been proved over and
over again by actual and minute COM
parisons of goods, as to their quality
and prices. TIE refute it finally and
indisputably by simpler and more
| direct method it is necessary only TO
ask the reliable business men Of any
| of the smaller communities to show

| counts of the harm the mail order
| habit is doing their communities.

pie as a whole shall be prosperous
Such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained If the institutions
of the already larger and wealthier
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
of smaller communities.
The need of the country, a desper-
ate need upon which the welfare of
the individual depends, Is for the
upbuilding and continued progress of
the smaller communities, so that the
wealth of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled in large
amounts in a comparative few centers
of population.
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per-
mitted a fair profit to the home mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit of the community, Is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.
In large number of instances he Is
doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps. he is violating
his own principles of right and justice,
for, at the expense of his own COM
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo-
pie of the smaller towns and the agri-
cultural districts. In hundreds of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man On the farm last year sent a
very large portion of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
in one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting,
purely for the sake of the argument,
that the farmer or the resident of the
small community can save few dol
lars on some of his purchases. or even

he afford to continue to impoverish

If he will ask himself this question
and consider it soberly and fairly in
all of its phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of single article, we think
his answer must be that he cannot.
The wonderful productivity of this
country has been sufficient to over
come the various adverse economic in
fiuences which have existed during the
period of years in which the mail or
der business has accomplished its
greatest growth. Everyone has been
getting along pretty WELL" While the
increasing flow of golden millions from
their source in the land of the coun-
try to the already great centers of
money and population has held back
the growth of the smaller communi-
ties, it has not yet occasioned a great
disaster. The test will come with the
first pinch of hard times" a condi-
tion which no country ever has been
able to escape at recurring intervals.
When this time arrives those COM
munities will best stand the test which
have best conserved and husbanded
their resources.

What Women
Haze Done
in Politics
copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

(Mrs. John A. Logan is known and es-
teemed by all Americans. Accompanying
her distinguished husband, the most prom
inent of all the volunteer soldiers, through
the civil war, to her belongs the honor of
establishing the first hospital for sick SOL
diers From the close of the war till her
husbands death she was his closest ad-
she has retained her prominence before
the public and her influence in national
affairs.)
That women have welded a power
full influence in the political world can
not be denied when we contrast the
position she occupied in this country
as late as 1850 with her present stat
us. There was not state in the
union which did not bear upon its
statute books most unjust and un-
righteous laws under which woman
could be deprived of her property and
subjected to the most outrageous
treatment and literally robbed of her
inheritance through the profligacy and
reckiessness of an unworthy husband.
She had no protection against the
cruelty of parent or husband or the
disposition of anything without her
consent. If she rebelled against their
authority they had the power to de-
stroy her reputation and could take
her children away from her, If she
had any, and they were SO disposed.
If the laws did not give them this
power the practice sanctioned and
sustained men in their unjust domina-
tion over women.
The unjust rulings of school board
precipitated Mis- Anthonys rebellion
against the unfair treatment of wo-
men and caused the first movement
for woman suffrage. For halfcen-
tury Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and
others of their heroic colleagues kept
up the warfare until the obnoxious
laws were expunged and much more
Just and righteous ones enacted.
In some of the states the right of
female suffrage has been extended
and women have been chosen to Off
cial positions, including that of rep.
resentatives in the state legislatures,
and l am proud to say that they have
made good records. 1t has been graf
flying to know that the presence of
women at the polls has had salutary
effect on the elections. The riotous
disposition which characterized the
baIloting on election days, and not in.
frequently ended in bloodshed, has
been changed to a holiday occasion
and general good-natured festivities
1 hope to see the. great improvement
in political methods anticipated and
claimed by the advocates of female
suffrage.
Through the coalition of the various
elements of discord some of these
states had passed into the hands OF
irresponsible men without records
which entitled them to fill these posi-
tions. They have been a hindrance
to all legislation for the welfare OF
state or nation. But in the recogni
tion of the betterment of social and
political conditions it is to be hoped
that the ablest and best of all com
munities may be brought to the front
and that speedily the highest class OF
representatives may come from the
