Keep Out OF Debt.

AS matters look shaky in Wall Street
and business depression is generally
foretold first from that quarter, it
may be we'll for honest folk to take ac-
count of stock and see where they are
at. There is no general ap nearance of
trouble on the horizon of legitimate
business, but it will be we'll to get out
of debt and keep out until matters are
more normal. There is such boom OF
in prices that there must be some reac-
ton and already the railroads are re-
ducing expenditures and large building
operations are being curtailed on ac-
count of the great cost of material.
Caution should certainly be observed
until the next crops are assured, for
we have been blessed with six fat years
and experience shows that the lean
years must follow. The high price of
farming land in many states is based
on present high prices of farm pro.
ducts and large crops and many cases
the price asked for farms will under
the most favorable conditions only pay
very reasonable interest and with lower
prices and shrinkage in crops would
make but a very poor return on the
investment. The farmer who is in debt
might, if crops are poor, find himself
in difficulties, and now therefore is the
time to get out of debt, so as to be on
the safe side if business depression ar
rives.
AS long as the trusts are protected
by the tariff they will continue to
charge high prices for their products,
and with another Republican standpat
Congress ahead there is but little prob
ability of relief from trust exactionS
for the next three years, or until 1909
when the Congress elected next year
will meet. So the cost of living is not
likely to decline very much, unless a
severe business panic occurs, which
would cause factories and workshops to
shut down or wages to be so reduced
that the purchasing power of the
peopl in the business centerS would de-
cline and so cause a tumble in prices.
Even under such distressing circuRl-
stances the farmer who is out of debt
is assured of home and comfortable
living it may inconvenience him to ad-
just mis- living to decreased income,
but he will not be harrassed like his
unfortunate ne;g1nor who is in debt.

all he is an imagobTeaker, he is an
iconolast who skaters the Ideals upon

There was time when cur young men

Washington Irving. But how long will
those illusions last under the teachings
of the new gospel which proclaims that
nothing is really worth while except
the brute force welded by masses of
money. If this thing goes on we can
soon close all departments of cur uni
veristies. except those that apply the
principles Of physical science to the
production Of material wealth or its
equivalent. "

A Belated Report.

Senator Elkins has but just filed his
minority report On the railroad rate bill
which became law over year ago.
Either the railroad attorney who wrote
the report has been too busy with his
other strenuous efforts in preventing
other railroad legislation to complete
it before, or for some corporation rea-
son it has been thought best 20 keep it
back thus long. The report claims that
passengers rode for 1885 per cent. less
in 1904 than in 1880, and that freight
reduction during the same period has
been 58.7l per ceat. But if that is true
what has it to do with the question of
unreasonab!eness Of the present rates
and the question of railroad graft and
corruption generally? We know that
but few railroads were paying divi-
dends in the seve lties, while now some
are paying very large dividends. The
Union Pacific railroad. which was
bankrupt a few years ago, is now pay
IIlS tel per CSllC, dIIu lids IIIVSSlCu H0dT-
" 200 millions out of its profits in the
stocks and bonds of other railroads.
The rates on that road could be cut SO
per cent and still pay fair dividend.
Othe, railroads are nearly as prosperous
and yet their managers object to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
vestigating their financial condition and
prescribing reasonable rates. Even
Senator Elkins' own railroad ridden
state of West Virginia is trying to re-
duce passenger rates to two cents a
mile. but Senator Elkins and other Re-
publican politicians will probably pre-.
vent that reduction.
The Elkins report has perhaps been
put out at this time to give the rail-
road side of the contention against
reasonable rates and to affect public
opinion in West Virginia and other
states where rate legislation is pend
ing 1t will have about as much effect
on an honest legislator as pouring
water on a ducks back.

Home Trade Hints.

The home trader is the home builder.
The man who trades at home knows
good trade when he sees it.
When you trade at home instead Of
by mail order you save both postage
and prestige.
Lots Of women refuse to take mail
orders, but they are so fond OF sending
mail orders that they risk their cash
that way.
Some women sweep disdainfuliy by
bargains in the home stores and send
to the big city just because they Ike to
get mail.
In my opinion the man or woman
who trOts around to the pOstOffice to
mail money to the big city mail order
houses and then trOts around to a
neighbours and complains that this
town Is no good is neither a philOsO-
pher nor u patriot

THE MAIL ORDER OCTOPUS.
Quit Feeding an Organization That
flinders Your Towns Growth.

Quit Feeding an Organization That
flinders Your Towns Growth.
There's new Octopus, with a big O.
1t is being fed and fattcned by the
farmers and the residents OF small
towns and the lesser cities throughout
the United States. Without being con-
scious Of the fact these we'll intention
ed people are pouring fodder into q
great. hulking, mastodonic octopus that
is reaching out its tentacles to seize
and swallow thousands OF local enter
priSes.
Every day In the year this octopus
eats up some country town or small
city merchant, body and breaches. Ev-
cry day it devours some local manufac-
turing industry. And every day the
country people and the citizens Of the
small towns and cities are sending In
their tidbits to help fatten this octopus
1t is like handing peanuts TO the ele-
plant. One peanut would not do him
much good. but when SO many are
coming all the time from every direc-
ton he cannot help but grow fat and
get strong enough to rake i'll whole
peanut fields with his trunk.
This is the mail order octopus.
Let us consider briefly what the mail
order octopus eats. First he eats your
dollar You may now and then get bar
gains by mail, but if you would look
around at home you might find the
same things for sale at the same price.
The octopus eats up your dollar and
your neighbours dollar, and SO on, and
pretty soon he has swallowed the
whole store OF your neighbor in town,
who closes up and goes ont Of bust
ness.
But that is only 4 bite for this OctO-
pus. When the storekeeper goes out of
business he goes out of town-goes to
some town where people trade at
home. He takes with him his family
and his clerks perhaps. That decreases
the population Of your town. Thus the
octopus eats slice out Of your popula-
ton.
