The sane and practicable thing
for the Democratic forces of this
State to do is to cease criticism
and appeal to the sober sense OF
the people and the great issues
that confront us in the welfare
of party and State. Men can not
be driven like cattle, and if our
party is ever brought back to its
old time vim and prestige, it will
be through convincing proof and
reason and not by denunciation.
We can not hope to unite so long
as we fight and denounce every
one whose views and whose &C
tons do not measure up to our
own way of thinking and doing.
Our party has been divided, and
honestly so. Those who in 1896
- rot accept the Democratic
ion on the paramount issue
"a whose unyielding Democracy
Fought them back in later cam
paigns, should not be denounced
and measured by their refusal to
support their party at that time
when advocating measures det-
rimental to the country as they
honestly believed. Again, those
who could not accept the leader
ship of Mr.. Goebel through that
party revolution of policy, if will
ling to join hands with the De-
mocracy now, should be received
in full fellowship. There are
times and conditions when bolt
ing party is not treachery, but
redowns to good. With every
man it should be when his party
is not measuring up to the public
good and this, in the main, can
only be determined by judgment
of men and measures as they see
and understand them, but this
does not include the boiling Dem
ocrats in the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, whose plain duty was to
carry out the will of their party.
In this and similar instances
where power is delegated boiling
reaches the highest treachery
and deserves the severest pelal-
ty within the limits of party Or
ganization to infict. We have
no compromise with such dishon-
orable action and do not believe
any man prompted by good
intentions has ever committed
such breech of trust. Holding
the views as we do, that every
man should be free and independ-
ent and act for his country's
best interest; that he should be
loyal to party when party is true
to country /; that a bolter is not
always a traitor, we say to the
Democratic press of the State
that it is time to withhold abuse
of those who have heretofore
failed to measure up to our doc
trinal teachings and partisan re-
uuirements. The News welcomes
all who returns to aid the party
in it's mission for good It is
willing for Ex-senator Lindsay
to go as a delegate to nominate
Mr.. Bryan if Mr.. Lindsay will
agree to so do. 1t appreciates

MADE UP OF GREED.
Greed of Mail Order Houses as In.
terpreted by Country Editor.


These commandments make up the
decalogue of the mail order house.
Ihey were not written on stone by
Moses, but they are thoroughly under
stood and frequently bumped into by
anyone who deals with the catalogue
mail order concern, and thoroughly in
dtcate the business side of these con-
Germs:
l. You shall sell your farm produce
for cash wherever you can. but not to
us, we do not buy from you.
2. You shall believe our statements
and buy all you need from us because
we want to be good to you, although
we are not acquainted with you.
3. You shall send in the money in
advance to give us a chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money, meanwhile you will have to
wait patiently few weeks because
that is our business method.
4. You shall buy your church bells
and interior church fixtures from us
and forward the money in advance,
for that is our business method.
5. You shall collect from the bust
ness men in your vicinity as much
money as you can for the benefit of
your churches. Although we get more
money from you than they do still it
is against our rules to donate money
for building country churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from
us and be your own mechanic in order
to drive the mechanic from your vicin-
Ity, for we wish it so
Z. You will induce your neighbor
10 buy everything from US, as we have
room for more money.
8. You shall often look at the beau
:iful pictures in our catalogue so your
wishes will increase and you will send
n a big order, although you are not
n immediate need of the goods; 9TH
'rwise you might have some money
eft to buy necessary goods from your
ocal merchants.
9. You shall have the mechanics
hat repair the goods you buy from
IS book the bill, so that you can send
he money for his labor to us for new
oods, otherwise he will not notice
ur influence.
10. You shall believe us In prefer
nee to your local dealers
II. You shall, in case of accident,
lckness or need, apply to local deal
rs for aid and credit, as we do not

The agitation for elimination of the
jobber is based more upon prejudice
and passion than upon facts. The
American people are always looking
for a shorter route to a desired end.
They care little who it eliminates Just
so 1t decreases their cost of living.
They care little If every Ink in the
chain Is broken and the manufacturer
is allowed to supply the wants of the
trade direct. No one else could object
to this plan of procedure If 1t DOS
sessed any economic points to recon-
mend it. Time and well ordered ex-
periments have proven, however, that
the best, the most convenient, the
cheapest and most seEviceable method
of supplying the wants of the consum-
er is from maker to jobber, from job
Der to retailer and from retailer to
consumer. The opportunity for dev-
ilment upon the part of those who
find much of personal gain in showing
the consumer the large number of
middlemen he is keeping and that if
they be cut out he, the consumer,
will enjoy this profit, is great. Thus
began the from-factory-to-family, cut
out-the-middle-man argument, and it
sounds good upon the face of things,
but, as stated above, has no real saw
Ing at all, since the expenae incurred |
in getting small shipments from the
factory to the consumer is greater
than the very small per cent. exacted
by both jobber and retailer for their
part performed in the transaction I'D

sIx-FoR-FIvE SALE.
One Plan That Benefits the Buyer and
Increases the Merchants Trade.

II want to outline a successful sale
plan that we have used and which is
about the best ono we have ever tried
1t is not original with me. l think il
was worked out and first used by a
store in some town in Wisconsin.
We obtained the plan through a shoe
salesman. Should the originator of
the idea read this article | wish to
offer him my apologies for reproduc.
ing his plan," writes an Iowa mer-
chant.
1T is called a 'Six-for-Five Sale
The idea Of the sale is to give six
articles, or CARDS, for the price of five.
The statement made in our bills, is:
No matter what you buy, dress goods.
shoes, furnishing goods, notions, cali.
Goes, ginghams, outing fiannels, hats,
gloves, ribbons, handkerchiefs, hose,
dishes, canned fruits, canned vege-
tables, glassware, or any other goods
that we carry in stock with the ex.
ception of goods on which we are al.
ready making a special low price, and
the list of specials advertised else
where in this adj you only pay for
five, but you get six
"1n order to make the sale still
more effective we selected a few we'll
known articles which We marked very
low, and then excluded them from the
regular 'six-for-fve' list. OF course,
If II ic docirod fo O,o1yo ,,,oh I;no. -.
cloaks and clothing, of which you
could hardly expect to sell five to one
family, they can be excepted from the
'sfx-for-flve' list and price be made
on them.
when we sold five pairs of shoes,
or of any other line, we would take
the average price Of the five and al
low this amount on the sixth pair.
"This sale has many strong points.
In the first place, it is based on the
principle that nothing will have quite
the influence in getting people to
eave their money with you as that |
of giving them something for nothing.
t is the extra yard or pound or article
hat talks.
In addition to all these points, it is
plan that can be used equally we'll
or almost any occasion, and at any
ime of the year, and one which will
lot, l think, grow old, if it be made a
egular annual event.
That this is successful sale plan
vas shown by the fact that when we
we're running it our competitor put
N a sale and got out bills in which
lie called attention to the fact that
he prices he was making were lower
han our 'six-for-five' prices, and still
'e got the crowds. 1t was but natural,
owever, that we should, because peo-
lie are always attracted by something
ree."

Simple Compass-Finder.

A simple compass-fnder, costing II
cents, has enabled a western pipe-layer
to locate 12-inch cast-iron pipe bur-
led about three feet in stiff adobe soil.
and has saved several days of labor
digging AS described by A. E. Wright
the finder was a magnetized knit
ting needle having been discard
ed as not sufficiently sensitive. The
fibers were glued around the balanc.
ing-point, and the needle was so bal
anced as to dip normally about 20 de-
grees in order that the two ends might
be attracted to the pipe uneuually.
The needle was mounted in cigar box
with an index card, and a glass cover
as wind shield. When used, the box
was placed horizontally on the ground
In a north and south direction. and
was moved across the supposed line OF
the pipe, readings being taken everv
TWO feet and in this way the location
was determined very accurately. The
detection was twice as great over a
bell as over the mid-length of a pine.

reasons for objecting was that the

it is not SO in Tientsin. The American

even If the individual American men
and Britishers are showing themselves
anything but Christians. The Chi

a day of reckoning if the foreign con

vice as they are doing now. Men

1t is a recognized fact that the re
tail business of the country villages

is being destroyed. Year by year the
once prosperous merchants are being
forced to the wall-driven out by the
mail order business. And this is ta

From a jelly-like idea-without form

grown to proportions that threaten
the determination of the retail coun-
try merchant. An idea of the way
the money Of the people is being
drawn into this mail order trade can
be had from the reports of some of
these houses.
A certain mail order house which
began with a few thousand dollars Is
years ago now does a monthly busi-
ness of $5,OOO,OOO, with a yearly net
profit Of more than $3,OOO,0OO.
This is the record of but one in
stitution. There are dozens of them
in various cities of the United States.
They are springing up like mush-
rooms every night All that is neces-
sary to start mail order business is
a place to receive mail and money
enough to get out the first batch Of
printing and for the first advertising
campaign.
Like the patent medicine business.
the mail order business depends on
the gullibility of the general public.
Thousands of people every week send
their hard-earned cash to some mail
order house in payment for goods
that could have been bought cheaper
at their home store. ..
Why do they do it? It is owing par
italy to the desire of the average per-
son to be humbugged and partially |
to the effect of persistent advertising. |
The mail order house sends out it's at
tractive literature to every family in
the country. In this literature, COM
