NO TAGS-WHY2

Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
That mail order buying is economi-
cally wrong is recognized by the
mail order houses themselves. They
protect" their customers by offering
to keep people from knowing where
the mail order goods come from the
mail order houses nave no tags on
their goods. They say in their cata-
logues thai none of their goods are
marked and that no one knows where
they were bought. If it is proper to
hide the place of purchase of an ar
ticle, it is wrong to buy the article
1T that place. Only the man who
steals is ashamed to say where ne
got anything he has. There is such a
thing as tainted dry goods, "taint-
d groceries and tainted furniture.
All of such That are 40 bought at
home, of men who b%efriended you,
of men to whom you owe a living,
are tainted" because they come
unfairly.

gusto, to the erect that TIE secretary
lis going to be turned down"-not
that they care a fig for Mr.. Hitchcock
one way or the other, but since he is
known to be a warm personal friend
of Governor Hagerman. they believe
if he could be put in bad odor at
the White House it would nelp them
to deceive the president in regard to
the work Of the governor.
In view of the facts above refer
red to, a letter to the Chicago Tri-
bune, from its reliable correspondent
at Washington, john Callan OLaugh-
lin, fully explaining the situation, will
be cad with much interest by the
people of New Mexico. The article,
which we reproduce elsewhere in the
Journal, shows not only that there is
absolutely 40 breach between the
president and the secretary, but that,
on the other hand, they are standing
| firmly together and making common
cause in the same matter. while a
subcommittee of the senate is en-
| deavoring to discredit both of them
because of the curse the admins
tration is pursuing in the affair of
the proposed forest reserve in the
Indian Territory.
The fact That the present secretary
of the interior is persona no1 grata
| with the senate, is no secret, because.
as Mr.. O'Laughlin says, he brought
| odium upon that body by the "suc-
| cessful prosecution of one of its mem
another is in danger of punishment
| for violation of the land laws. Sew
eral nave escaped through lack of
| evidence, and many have had requests
denied on the ground that they were
illegal and improper, which would
have been approved under previous
/ administrations"
In view of these facts it is not at
all strange that cesfain gentlemen
in the senate would very much like
to see the secretary turned down.
in order to help them to get even
with him-and they have the co-ope-
ration, more OIL less open, of another
clique who 'Shave it in" for the pres
idelt, and who diligently improve ev-
cry opportunity to make trouble for
the administration. But these gentle
men are simply laying up trouble for
themselves. The president stands by
| Secretary Hitchcock because he is in
the right, and the American people
by President Roosevelt for the same
reason.

The mail order houses il Chicago
and other large cities do not sell to
customers in their own towns at all.
1t would set the city people wild if
these catalogue houses actually mad
values with style and quality. They
would not need to cav their W
large cities to sell at the prices they
quote if the goods were as repre-,
wild over the bargai1s-but they
dare not show the goods at nome.
They sell them by pictures and glow
ing description. The buyer sends
cash in advance, "sight unseen" and
pay the freight.

The country merchant is rapidly
coming to the conclusion that the
best way to meet the composition of
the city merchant and catalogue

own weapons. He has to hustle for
business and advertise his goods il

has what they want.

your style is the best style. Even
in that case, would it be an improve

LOTS OF BUILDING GOING
on IN CANON CITY

The large amount of building now
going on in Canon City is indubitable
evidence of the general prosperity and
indicates faith in the future of the
community by property owners that
is highly gratifying to all classes of
our people.
In every direction one sees new
houses In course of construction, most
of them being built along approved
architectural lines and embodying all
modern conveniences, They are
chiefly OF the cottage type and contain
from six to eight rooms They are
thoroughly home like in appearance.
and are in great demand by people
coming into the community for health,
or on account of the attractions Of
Canon City as place of residence. In
addition TO the houses in course of
erection many others are being plan
ned and work will be begun on them
as soon as builders and materials can
be procured to carry them into execu-
ton.
In few communities OF the size of
Canon City In the state is there as
great an activity In the building trade
as there is here, due to the general
thrift of the people and to the advan-
tages OF the town as a place to live.
With 100000 going into new build
