MAIL ORDER EVIL
ITS RISE IS NOT THE RESULT OF
 LEGITIMATE DEMAND.
DUE ENTIRELY TO GREED
And It Feeds Upon the Prosperity Of the Country Towns-~ Menace to the
 Nation.

Copyrighted, 1905. by Alfred c. Ciark.)
 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 or buying goods abroad has grown to SUI, Ia proportions that the country merchant may well feel alarmed at the probable outcome unless something is done to forestall the great calamity which will surely result therefrom.
 Trade conditions 25 years ago were satisfactory. At that time catalogue houses were entirely unknown and country merchants were ''monarchs of 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 was 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 clincher and will at least put him on standing with the catalogue house In fact it will give him an ad vantage over the catalogue house. for in almost every case he can sell the same grade of merchandise cheaper than the catalogue house can sell it. This is not mere theory but state mcnt of fact, for the reason that the country merchants business is oper ated at 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 patronize mall order houses will be looked upon as soon ers' by the solid and influential citi zens of all commonwcalths and will suffer ostracism at their hands.
 Cities and towns are built by com bined efforts of the residents thereof: not by foreign capital. So too are oui churches and schoolhouses built. Il may be true that in many instances eastern capital has been employed tc make Improvements in the west, but always with good round interest tc the lender of the money. No one ever heard of case where an eastern man or firm contributed to western enter prise for the fun of the thing. No, did you ever hear of case where any mail order or catalogue house ever contributed to any church building fund. Nor yet did they ever build ol help to build any of our schoolh0uses You never heard of 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 ten that they have no more use for you. Then why should you patronize them? You can go to your home mcr chant any day in the year and if you are short of change. he will extend you credit. If you are sick and un able to work the home merchant will see that your family Is provlsioned until you get on your feet again. He will do all of this and at the sapal time furnish tho samo grade of goodi at the same or even al less price VIII the catalogue merchant do this' J. r. BELL.

proceeds Judge Hutchinson. "prac- scally assumes that there will be violations of the criminal law which will result in criminal prosecutions. and that there will be unlawful sales which will result in suits for civil damages, and they seek to protect the public from loss by requiring a bond that the saloon man will pay all fines assessed and all civil damages result ing from his business which the state licenses him to conduct.
 "Is there any other business where the person engaged in it must give bond that he will pay all expenses caused by his infractions Of the law3 If there Is. do not know if. It has been held many times by the higher courts of our State that a liquor li- cense is only a permit. See Nelson The State, l7 Ind. App. 4o3; State V. Gerhardt, l45 Ind, 4o6; Shea v. The State. l48 Ind. IA. Many other cases. both of this State and the United States. might be cited that hold the same thing.
 "The question. therefore, narrows itself to this: CAN THE STATE. BY AN ACT OF ITS LEClSLA- TURF. PROVIDE FOR THE SALE FOR A PRICE OF PERMITS PERMITS TO ESTABLISH PLACES THAT THE HIGHER COURTS OF OUR LAND HAVE DECLARED ARE THE MOST FRUITFUL SOURCES OF ALL KINDS OF SIN, MISERY. WANT. PAUPERlSM, VICE AND CRIME? Can the State tor price. sell a per init to engage in a business that the Legislature assumed would be attend ed with violation of the criminal laws. and suits for civil damages, growing out of unlawful sales. and therefore re- quire bond from the men about to en- gage in it1 <
 "The State of Indiana certainly recognizes the damages and evils re- sulting from the retail liquor business. or 1t would not pay men to teach the effects of its use. neither would it seek to provide against loss to its citizens by requiring the bond provided Tor by Section 72997 Of Of Burn Revised Statutes of Indiana. loOl.s

heir ambition, 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 small scale; then, as the merchant saw the opportunity for making 1t pay, he added to his adyer- Using fund. And so 1t has continued until today 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 one plan and some another There are several plans which might be presented to induce the farmer to buy at home. In 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 own locality. He realizes the fact that if his farm is to be valuable 1t must be farnied in the most scientific manner and all buildings. fences, etc, must be kept up in the best possible shape. and above all the farm must be To- ceted not too far from some good town. for we all know that farm land brings 6 much better price when near to some good town or village. It 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 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, 70 they may be able to build and maintain good town.
 Public schools are much better in the towns than in the country for the reason that where the population is most dense. there Is more taxable property to the amount of territory covered. hence there Is moro money collected for school purposes, and as result more and better teachers arc employed. All this is of the highest importance to the farmer, as most farmers who are of any importance IT their profession are interested in giv Ing their boys and girls good educs
The Brinkley argus., 1907-06-21

ticn. Ant, risht hero is where the good town proposition comes to him with great force He knows he can scni 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 ob- tained.
 if the farmer seriously desires all these good things he must of necessi- ty help to build them. Let him under stand that he is one of the main smokes in the great wheel of com- mcrcc 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 few cents by doing so.
 It seems that 1t could be easily pointed out to him that if there was no town near him and he had to drive 20 or 30 miles to take his produce to market and haul his groceries the same distance home. he could easily see that his land would greatly dcpre- 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- calitics is the liberal use of printers ink, coupled with intelligence in ad- 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 advertise 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 ap- ply in this case. The home merchant must advertise. He must do more than
