Giant Mail Order Concerns
Are Sapping Country Of
Its Wealth.
BY Assisting In the Capitalization
Of Wealth, Patrons Of These In
stitutions Contribute to Their
Own Injury.

copyright, 1906, by Alfred c. Clark)
Every year millions upon millions of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts Of the coun-
try to the Golfers Of the mail order
houses in the cities, and 60 to the up
building Of enormous institutions in
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
tlons are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
= story so stupendous that its full sig
nincance cannot be grasped in a mo-
nent. but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago, did a bust
nsss amounting in round numbers to
$so.000,000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business of about
SS2. 00O,0 900, a gain OF $18,000,000 or
nearly 80 per cent. In a single year be-
Ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year Of one dollars worth Of merchan-
disc for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens more Of
varying size and importance are oper-
Auag all over the country from coast

The attorney general and county
attorneys are given specific power to

certain II any such monopolies or

During the course Of the transac-
ton OF the routine business a mo-
ton was carried directing the rail-
road committee to order the printing
OF 500 copies each Of the important
railroad bills which have been intro
duced. The printing of 500 copies of
the Quincy bill providing for secur-
ity for deposits in thu banks Of the
state was ordered also.
On motion of Senator Noftzger,
which prevailed, the senate adjourn
ed at 10:45 o'clock until 4 O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon.
1t Is expected that the election to
choose successor to Mr.. Curtis In
the First district will be late in Feb
ruary or early In March. Governor
Hoch will issue a call for the esec-
ton as soon as the vacancy occurs,
which will be January %, the day
the legislature meets in joint assem-
bly, to elect
The law provides that thirty days
notice must be given between the
date Of the call and the special cleo
ton. Some OF the candidates have
wanted late election so that they
could have time to make their fight,
but pressure has been brought to
bear on the governor for an early
settlement of the case and his call
may Drovide for an early election.
Arthur Capper, chairman of the
First district congressional commit
tee, will issue a call for a. meeting
Immediately after the governors
call. The committee must give ten
days notice for a primary election
or convention. 1t is probable that
the primary election system will be
used to settle the contest, as Curtis
has established that precedent in the
district. He was nominated by a
primary last spring, and it is prob
able that the committee will give the
other contestants for the place
chance to get out and make votes In
that way.
Charles Curtis has received nearly
700 kilograms and letters congratu-
lating him on his victory in the Re-
publican caucus. The letters from
his friends In Kansas began coming
today. There were nearly 200 Of
them. Nearly all of the kilograms
are from prominent politicians,
newspaper men. senators and men,
bers of congress living outside Of the
state.

dog. 1t was Sunday morning, and
every one was at church but these

the church.
Dan, said Willie, 1t is better here
than in church, for you can hear every
word, and don't get prickles down
your back, as you do when you have
to sit up straight
In some way, while Willie was
listening he fell asleep. Dan kissed
him in the nose, but when Willie went
to sleep he went to sleep to stay, and
did not mind trifes. So Dan sat down
with the funniest look of care on his
wise, black face, and with one ear
ready for outside noises.
Now, the minister had for his sub

always gave Dan when he was teach.

tricks. While the dog sat thinking,

Dan at once ran into the church
through the vestry door. He stood on
his hind legs, with his fore paws
dropping close beside the minister,
who did not see him, but the congre-
cation did When the minister shout

said: Yes, sir, as plainly as Daniel
could answer.

French Presidents Double.

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president Of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind Of hat
and exactly 80 oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C.
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps. the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Konore and feels overjoyed at being
saluted on all sides.

pic NJ wnoie shall ~ prosper0aA
Such general prosperity 'as may exist
cannot be retained II the institutions
OF the already larger and weaithier
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
Of smaller communities. l "
The need Of the country, 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 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.

menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo.

his own community, upon which his
own prosperity, the very value of bis
land depends?
II 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 a 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.

increasing flow of golden millions from

10 coast and from border to border.
- 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-
Jet them into the mail 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 1000, and probably more,
for new home. The other lately has
secured new location and also will
expend at least 100000 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

Madame and Gold Coins.

A vogue among fashionable women
TO demand gold at their banks is re-
ported from New York. As far as
within needs reason. that supplied in
this instance is that paper money is
especially likely TO carry germs. So
only the shiniest yellow coins are
allowed TO go into dainty portmon-
naies, and in case of doubt madame's
maid is called to sterilize it before
it is spent
Fudge! The likelihood is that
among the most whimsical of the
ultra fashionables not 1 per centum
of feminine bank customers are de-
handing gold. Even such women,
profiigate of time and convenience,
are yet unlikely TO carry gold home
and wait for il to be boiled before
they spend it. Those who come
across our horizon are too mighty
eager to buy things with it TO wait
on sterilization.
Again, paper money is vastly more
convenient for madame's particular
use. 1t is light clean, and crisp.
Gotham has bills practically as fresh
and new as Washington's, and no
woman patron of our banks could
sniff At the bills which are handed 70
her here. Most of them draw $40,
$50, S25 or $50 at a time. according
to our tellers. They would find even
a single eagle heavy and likely to
slip out Of the purse. The pleasure
of choosing among glistening gold
coins would vanish with the first
| loss.

throughout the country. Even the
