Once more the central bank idea has
been given prominence in public dis
cussion, this time because George M.
Reynolds, OF the American Bankers
Association, has declared in it's favor
in his annual address at the convention
at Chicago. 1t is also declared tnat
President Taft Is in favor OF the idea
AS "A general proposition the Reynolds
idea Is for central bank with a cap
ital OF about 800. 600, 600, and with
branches throughout the country.

Saloon Closing Law interpreted.

In connection with the case OF Lean
der Winkka. who was found guilty Oh
violating the liquor law. Judge Stone
gave an interesting opinion relative to
what.constitutes an infraction OF the
law, during the hours when the saloons
are legally closed. Winkka's case was
put before the court upon stipulation
OF facts agreed upon by the prosecut-
ing attorney and Winkka's lawyer.
They were in substance that Winkka 3
bartender. without Winkka's knowledge
had gone into the saloon ut II 80 one
evening to write a letter tor one OF
two companions, who accompanied
him into the saloon. The saloon had
been previously closed at IL O'Clock
and the three went into the saloon be-
cause IL was the only available place In
which the letter could be written. IL
was stipulated that none OF the three
drank ANYTHING in the saloon.
After looking into the case as above
stated. and the laws and court decis-
ions of the state bearing on 1t, Judge
Stone found that Winkka had violated
the law. The court cited number OF
Michigan decisions. one or which de-
cIared that 1t was not necessary to
how that liquor had been sold in order
to constitute violation, and another

Salesmanship and Psychology.
From Putnam's.

>.
Every commercial traveller who sue
leeds in his most difficult business knows
that his success depends largely upon
several factors to which he gives his
own names. He must have a reasonably
good. useful and necessary article to sell.
He must get to know his prospective eli
ents business needs and problems. He
must believe in his own article as COM
pletely as a Presbyterian does in pre-
destination. He must have tact and ad-
dress, and he must get his clients un-
divided, impartial and interested atten-
ton while he talks of the thing he wishes
TO sell him. We call this craftsmanship. .
1t is in reality the product OF simple,
sensible analysis of the situation. on
sound psychological principles. to induce
interest in such cumulative form that the
buyer is, as ii We're. hypnotized by the
seller for the time being, and comes under
his influence and yields to his sugges-
lions his mind follows the workings of
his intcrviewer's mind.
Now. there are many intervening fac
tors that help 10 bring about the happy
termination of the sellers visit-an order.
There must be need on the part of the
buyer. II is vague or indeterninate and
he is perplexed BY the multitude of de-
vices on the market other than the one
his visitor is exploiting. 1t Is the yjs-
itor's task skillfully 10 rid his clients
mind of all thought of any device but his
own, and TO make plain and concrete
what before was perplexing and nebulous
In his advocacy the seller must so work
on his clients mind that, for the time
being, there appears to be no other con-
clusion TO the interview but the giving
OF the desired order. He must put his
case as Thoreau said OF Carlyle, with
such irresistible logic that no other view
could. for the time being. seem to be pos
sibie or tenable.
This is craftsmanship raised to the dig
nifty of a science. But it is simply psy-
chology applied TO a cold. business propo-
sition.
