WHO is MIR. HISGEN?

Inquiry has been made as to the
presidential nominee Of the Tndepen-
dence party, Thomas l.. Hisgen, OF
Springfield Massachusetts,.
Until n year ago he was a Democrat
in national politics The chief Gle
ment in his political career was his
opposition to the Standard on COM
pany. Largely because of his SUCCESS
full operations in competition with that
great company, which had tried in
vain either TO purchase his business or
to close II. he was nominated by the
Democratic party for state auditor
two years ago, and ran far ahead of
the ticket Last year he was offered
the Democratic nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor of Massachusetts,, but
declined it on the ground that Mr.,
Whitney, the head of the ticket was
standard oil candidate. Then MIR.
Hisgen was nominated for governor

the votes of SO largo number of the
PEOPLE that he finished next to the Re-
publican nominee,

gan the manufacture and sale of
axle grease. After a long struggle the
farmers of New England recognized

In competition with this great com'
pany. Thus far they have been sue

HOLLAND AND VENEZUELA.

We have already stated that Hol-
land does not appear to have "A good
case against Venezuela, and this opin'
ion is confirmed by the story of the
dismissal of the Dutch representative
In that country.
DC Reus, so the story goes, had been
asked by somebody concerning the
prospects OF Investment and settle
ment in Venezuela. The Minister, 1t is
claimed, replied that the outlook was
very discouraging and that the Dutch
had better not send either money or
mon to Venezuela. In the course of
his extraordinary letter De Reus said:
THE system of government (since
1890 OF the present almost dictatorial
ruling president, which Is economic
ally for the creating and atterward
always for the annullment of mono-
poles through all kinds of subtletics
has very nearly ruined the country
The revival of commercial trade is
almost impossible as long as the pres
ent government rules the country, for
Il cannot he expected that the present
president after the nine years during
which he has reigned almost as dicta-
tor. will change his system of gov
erning and his domestic and foreign
policy"
This letter it is claimed, was print
ed and scattered throughout Holland,
and the result was that De Reus was
given his passports. If this is the
true story Of the case, Holland has no
grievance against Venezuela. 1t is
Venezuela that has n grievance, and
Holland might with good grace apollo
eize for the indiscretion of its min
lister.

ton In the form of affidavits from
Plttsneld dealers that they had been
offered oil free OF charge provided
they would cease to patroniZe the in

Standard Oil receipts showing con-
clusivciy that certain dealers received
rebates were also forwarded. These
receipts were used to advantage in

Prescott Attorney Returning From East Reports Capital
 Invested In Arizona.

PRESCOTT, Dec. 14.-Attorney E. M Sanford, who arrived home Friday from a four weeks professional and
 business visit in New York, Washing ton and other eastern financial cen ters, stated yesterday that there has been a general revival of business ac- tiyity in the east since the election and added that he had more inquiries concerning mining investments in northern Arizona than in any previous
 visit.
 In conversation with a Journal Miner representative, he said: ''FinanciaI conditions in the east are improving. The larger banks are beginning to loan money generally to the public, which is followed by ac- tivity in loans by the smaller banks.
 Manufactories generally the running
 on full time with long orders ahead. noticed particularly that the steel
 plants through western Pennsylvania
 and eastern Ohio, since the election,
 have been running on full time. At Youngstown my attention was called to two train loads of pig iron, which were said to be the first in sev. eral months that had passed the sta tion
 There is increased talk about min. ing investments in Arizona, and eS- pecially in this country. I met quite a number of persons who are making Inquiries concerning proposed invest ments here. I found particularly that mining engineers with whom l con
 v@sed were favorably impressed with the possibilities of mineral regions in northern Arizona.
 Concerning the Little Jessie, there
 has been a reorganization to the ex.
 tent of placing it's finances upon q second basis, and it is possible that the property will be put in operation
 shortly after the next annual meeting.
 l found a great deal of enthusiasm as
 to the possibilities of this property, and a concert of action looking toward
 making it a going concern.
 T look for extended investments in
 this part of the territory during the
 coming summer which will be perma- nent and not in the nature of boom, and following this, hope that it will not become an adopted region for fake organizations that may set us back for awhile.

REVIEW BlssEE
ABOUT ADVERTISING NO. '
 The Cannon That Modernized Japan
By Herbert Kaufman.

Business is no longer man to man con- tact in which the merchant and the patron esta ablish bersonai bond, any more than bat te is hand-to-hand grapple, where bone and muscle and sinew decide the outcome. Trade as well as sOar has changed in its aspect-bOth are n0O0 fOnght ct long range.
 Just as present day army of heroes would have no opportunity to display the indfOfdIaI valor of its members, just so merchant who counts upon his personal acqualntapceshiP tor success IS a relic of the past -0 basiness dOdo.
 Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after fleet of warships battered down the Satsuma Notifications The Samu- rai who had hitherto considered therr blades and bows good enough, discovered that one cannon was mightier than all the swords in creation i they could not get near enough to nse them. Japan profited by the lesson. She did not wait until fnrther ramparts were battered to pieces, but was satisfied with her one experience and proceeded to nodernize her methods.
 The merchant who doesn't advertise is pretty much in he same position as that in which Japan stood when her. eyes were opened to the fact that tfWes had cjiGnged. The long range publicity ot competitor will surely destroy your business the of the foreigners crumbled the walls of Sat sua Unless you take the lesson to heart, unless you realise the importance of advertising, not only the of eTtendig your business but for defending 1t well, you must be prepared to face the conse q d expects survive in contest in which his GdUersary bears SUord taVioe the lengts of his oUn.
 Don't think that it's too late to begin because there many which have had the advantage of years of cumulative advertising. The city grow ing. It will grow more next year. It needs increased trading facLtes just as it's hungry for neighborhoods.
 But u 7Uu again support reighbOriOo3 stores Newspaper advertising has eliminated the strength of being locally prominent and five cent street fares have cut out the advantage of being 'aroutd hte cOrner. store five miles away reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your next door neighbor to its asles while you sit by and the people your block enticed away without your being able to retaiate supply customers to take their place.
 It is not question ot your ability to stand hte cost of advertising but of being able to SUfue ito t. The thing you have to consider is not only an e1tension of your business but holding uhat yoH d. ready haOe.
 Advertising is an inUestntert the cost of which IS Ill the proportion to its retrns seeds to the hdreSt. And 1t is just preposterous for you to consider publicity as expense 1t would be for farmer to hesitate purchasing fertilizer if he discovered that he could pr0abEy irease his crops by employing it.
