FAILS TO SEE PRESIDENT
Mrs. Won c~Iaussen a Caller At the
White House.

Washington, April 10.-Mrs. Ida NJ.
Won Claussen, who made a complaint
to. the state department against Unit
ed States Minister Graves at Stock
holm because he declined to present
her to King Oscar, was at the White
House during the day in an effort to
obtain a personal interview with the
president to state her case. This was
refused her, whereupon she left with
.ae officials a letter Of which she fur
nished a copy to the press. In this
she ''begs President Roosevelt to at
once appoint a committee of experts
to make sure that she is of sound
mind before she proceeds further in
this case" for she knows we'll, from
previous reports, that when President
Roosevelt is cornered he has a habit
of appointing such committees to help
him out of his difficulty. Therefore,
not caring to lay herself open to fur
ther criticism, Mrs. von Claussen de-
mands that such a committee be ap-
pointed at once, otherwise she will call
the experts in herself.
When Mrs. Won Claussen appeared
at the White House Secretary Loeb
delegated his assistant, Mr.. Forster,
to talk to her, though it was evident
that she was very much disappointed.
No reply will be made by the White
House officials to the letter she left
for the president.

RESULT OF TW0-CENT FARE
Railroads May Abolish Communication
Passenger Rates.

Chicago. April determination or
suburban passenger rates in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania may be abol-
ished in the near future. This is the
principal subject to be considered at
the coming meeting of the Central
Passenger association, comprising all
the railroads in the territory bounded
on the east by Buffalo and Pittsburg
and on the west by Chicago and st.
Louis.
The reason given by the railroads
for abolishing the cheap rates now
made for monthly and twenty-five ride
tickets to points within about thirty
miles of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts
burg. Buffalo, indianapolis and other
cities is that they are obliged to make
2 cents a mile the minimum al we'll
as the maximum rate in Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania in order to avoid a
loss they cannot afford in passenger
revenue

Individual VS.. Corporation.

A well-known eastern financier, for
some time the president of a large
trust company, recently resigned, CIV
ing as his reason that man, accord
ing to his belief, can do better work
for himself, and that no man can
really earn salary equal to what he
can make in business for himself. In
these days when all kinds of business
are being converged into corporations,
the number of trades in which a man
may engage in business for himself
bulk of men, even those having the
mental equipment which in other
years would have been sufficient to
make them their own masters, there
is now no other opening than that of
service for some corporation. For
the bulk of the people, outside of
those in agricultural pursuits, it is
service for the corporation or no work
at all. This truth is becoming more
evident day by day. Even the farmers
are feeling the grasp of corporate
methods. 1t is true that millions must
have the products of his lands and his
hands, but the corporations are the
mediums he must work through, and
from him they exact their fittings. 1t
is to the interest of the farmer as
well as the laborer in every walk and
sphere, to prevent as far as possible
further encroachment of organized
capital, and this can be done by as
far as possible keeping the dollars
that you earn in circulation in the
community where earned, and thus
prevent the further concentration of
money and of business in the great
cities.

Good Advice to the Small Merchant
Who Would Succeed.

The mail order question is one that
is of perennial Importance to nearly
every one of the small~v cities and viii.
lagos in the land, although the danger
that these institutions were bound to
annihilate the smaller stores does not
seem as imminent now as 1t did a
few years ago. For instance, since
The passage of the pure food law by
congress many, If not all of the mail
order people, have discontinued the
selling of groceries. 1t was plain in
this case that there was a consider
able amount of adulteration in the
goods sold or the mail order houses
would not have taken this step.
There are aspects of the mail order
question which may we'll give hope to
the local dealer. The facts in the
case are that the catalogue houses
are not enjoying an unmitigated cinch,
for they are handicapped in many
ways in which the country merchant
is not. For example, the entire coun-
try press almost without exception Is
closed to mail order advertising. Here
is a distinct advantage for the home
merchant, although sometimes he Is
somewhat slow in taking advantage
of it, If he is fossilized and walking
around to pay funeral expenses in a
business way, figuratively speaking,
he will spring that ancient chestnut
that at doesn't pay" to advertise. But
let the newspaper man take an ad
nd rN1o 4
in the remotest corner Of his paper,
and this same business man will be
apt to object very strongly.
The mail order houses have ad-
vanced their business by advertising,
and have been badly handicapped by
having virtually only the magazines
and the catalogues to tell their story.
If the merchants of to-day expect to
cope with the mail order houses and
hold a fair share of the trade that
they ought to get 1t means that they
will have to use printers ink and ad-
vertising space. Furthermore, they
will have to advertise intelligently
and in accordance with twentieth cen
tury standards. Don't spring the
ancient gag about having been in
business so many years. The people
don't care rap how long you have
been in business. They are interested
mainly in two things: First, what
goods have you got? Second, what do
they cost? Unless your advertising
deals with these questions, it will be
as sounding brass or tinkling cymbal.
The mail order houses have built up
trade by doing just these things, and
their glowing descriptions and prices
have done the business.-San Antonio
(Tex.) Light.
