Does it Pay?

How often, Oh how often?
Do you hear the merchant say,
That in spite of all his efforts
His business doesn't pay;
That his help is slow and careless,
And his customers are few,
That he always has to worry
When his bills come due.
He should advertise his business =
Let the papers do the work.
There's the help that's always ready
And a help that will not shirk.
Put his faith in advertising
Something fresh, something new
And he'll never need to worry
When his bills come due. Elk.

Fortunately, however, the plea that

Those who advocate this suicidal policy
should take lesson from the recent
massacres of Christians at Adana, where
the Moslems, previous TO Staying their
victims, persuaded them to give up
their guns, That, on small but signifi"

tion that idealistc results can be
reached in the face Of conditions that
do not lend themselves TO the results

TO disarm our own country IN the face
of an armed world. thus leaving us a

us a helpless nation. the subject of the

NO BEARING ON THESE.

One Frank B. Kellogg, alleged to be
a 'trust expert is quoted as saying
that the decision Of the u. s, Supreme
Court on 'tsthe commodity clause" OF
the Hepburn bill, treated of in these
columns yesterday, defeats tho effort
making here for relief from unjust dis
elimination in railroad freight charges
There must he some mistake about this;
for the decision referred to has nc
bearing on the complaint made by Utah
business men of unfair railroad charges
That decision made it clear that the
law does not forbid railroads TO own
stock in companies which make or mine
products or commodities transported
though the roads are forbidden to own
such commodities direct. The Govern
ment contention to the contrary was
swept away. The practical result,
chiefly, so far as this region is con-
cerued, is that the Union Pacific and
the Rio Grandc may own the stock of
their coal companies which supply this
city.
But that has nothing to do with the
question Of rates. Much less does it
defeat our fight for fair freight
charges, and our contention that we
should not be charged more for cast
or west bound frcights than is paid on
the coast. II does not in any way
touch that point And we have not the
least idea that President Taft would
be impressed by the argument that the
decision referred to already settles Salt
Lakes case adversely, or at all.
Neither does it in any way affect the
so~called "merger suit against the
practical combination of the Union Pa
cific with the Southern Pacific. 1t in
no way calls in question the principle
on which this suit was begun. Tbat
principle was definitely and finally
settled in the decision by the u. S.
Supreme Court IN the famous Northern
Pacific merger snit To imagine that
the recent decision unsettles that pre-
decision in no way touched upon that
principle, nor is it likely to be called
into question But that does not mean
that the "mcrger suit" recently on
hearing here, must necessarily be de-
cided for the complainant; for the facts
are wholly different. In the Northern
Pacific case. the merger was Of two
railroad interests which owned paral-
lei lines to the coast. from st. Paul.
Here there is no paralleling of roads,
but only connection at the terminal,
respectively. Of each. And as the facts
are so wholly changed. the result is
not a fixed outcome. But in no way
of considering the question does the
recent decision OF the Supreme Court
have any bearing.
