IN CONCLUSION.

When a church is being built or is be-
ing contemplated; when an additional
school or public parks become crying
need; when water works, lighting or sewer
extensions are imperative, do the patrons
of the mail order houses appeal to these
purveyor of second-class junk for assist
ance? All, no! 1t is the home business
man who is expected to approve of the
plans submitted, throw himself into the
financial breach and make the expected
contribution requisite for the consuma-
ton of anticipated structures or extensions.
How about you?
Do you realize these facts as potentials
in this direction?
This question is hypothetical in scope,
even though it possesses but one phase
Pioneer, therefore, contents itself by charg-
ing its thousands of readers to faithfully
subserye the interests of their home city
by buying their goods at home stores. and
by pointing out the depression which will
surely follow in case they do not.
In brief, if city is to be blessed with
sentiment of amity and concord: if it is to
be provided with beautiful church edifices
and commodious schools: if il expects to
expand and broaden by virtue Of thrift and
its attractions: If 1t is to be given the APP
pearance of up-todateness. which goes to
make a metropolis: If it is to have paved
streets. cement sidewalks. public parks,
unexceIled lighting facilities, pure and
adequate water supply. a spirit of thrift
and progressiveness, the people thereof
must keep their money at home, and knock
the mail order octopus every jump in the
road.
Remember that.

AS TO THE FARMER.

The farmers are among the most remun-
erative patrons of the mail order houses.
This is sad commentary, but is true, new
ertheleSS. This statement is suggested by
reason of the fact that farming communities
comprise the bulk of population. But let US
not digress.
Every farmer delights in driving over
good roads, and in trading in prosperous
city or town. He glories in the fact that
he transacts his business in a mart of trade
that is thrifty and enterprising, where all
available labor is employed, where the
spirit of good fellowship obtains and where
every citizen is loyal to the best interests
of the city.
But is the farmer in question loyal?
Does he patronize home interests?
If he does not, he is guilty of a public
short coming.
And if he does not, he will have ample
opportunity to still further deprive his
home city Of purchase money, for it is a
foregone conclusion, judged from the re-
cent message of President Roosevelt that
the parcel post will soon become reality
as we'll as an incalculable convenience
However, how can the farmer expect the
highway commissioners to expend vast
sums on roads and bridges when they have
not the wherewithal and how can the said
officials be expected to be in control Of suf-
icient funds for needed improvements
when the tax levy or the county debt has
been depleted or heavily burdened by rea-
son of its people having sent their money
beyond recall to a point from whence it
will never return?

dollar given to mail order house is a
dollar forever lost to the city.
And a dollar lost to city means per-
manent detriment to both city and it's
people.
Remember that also.
AS TO SCHOOL GIRLS AND BOYS.
This class of Americas coming citizens
we must also admonish. They are of
course, in plastic stage of wisdom, and
should thus be adequately advised as to
the duty they owe the home merchant
While they are sending their dimes, quar-
to them the well-known alluring catalogs,
they should not neglect the thought that it
is the local business element which makes
their education and fitting and training for
future responsibility possible. The money
expended by the school children and more
advanced students represents ponderous
sum at the end of the year, and the said
sum means a corresponding loss to their
own individual advancement. from the fact
hot oriO If
tors possessed more resources, they would
be able to supply more thorough curricu-
lum. While, as we aver, we do not chide
the juvenile and student, we desire to i'm
press upon their minds the necessity of
supporting their home schools by supplying
money to their respective boards of edu-
cation through the medium of home mer-
chants.
Adults, as we'll as school children, should
recall the fact that the home business man
is the one who stands behind every sale
he makes If he misrepresents an article,
he will lose in the end, unless he makes
good on whatever he hands over his coun-
tiers. With the mail order house it is vast
ly different Many invariably palm off an
inferior article as genuine, they never fulfill
their claims unless by accident. and the
buyer has no redress. He receives goods
from the bunco steerers c. 0. D.-as pig
in poke, so to speak If they are not as
expected, the money for them has already
been paid. There is no resort to the courts
possible because of the expense involved.
there is no sense of morality weighed by
the mail order house, and thus the delUded
and gullible are flched Of their money with
out hope of getting return.

This Octopus Of commerciaIism

Merchants, Newspapers and Magazines
Everywhere Now Aligned Against This
Deterrent to Public Improvement, Schools,
Churches and Home Prosperity.
Citizens of Bemidji and Beltrami county,
do you patronize home Industries, or do
you remit your good, hard money to lot
of grafters who have no interest in your
home city?
who are, through various "catch-penny"
schemes, annually piling up millions of i'll
deserved profits, or are you combining your
money to home circulation?
These are leading questions, but since
the Pioneer Is, by general concession, the
recognized mouthpiece Of Bemidj and this
section of the Northwest, we have the I'M
reserved right and prerogatfve OF making
these inquiries, in the interest of home
merchants and general residents as well.
A TALE WITH A SEQUEL.
It is we'll known that mail order houses
in high-sounding terms, flout the fact that
they annually expend upwards of $25,000,-
900 for advertising purposes. Taking it for
true, how many millions of dollars of trade
does this fabulous sum represent all at
tracted from out-of-town trade, and how
much does it represent to the cities which
are burdened with that class who make a
practice of buying from a rank outsider in
stead of the home business man?
Well, this prOdigious sum spent with mail
order houses means lasting loss to schools
and churches, local property and public

operation. In fact, the patronage extended
to mail order house grafters is extremely
detrimental to every known local interest.
Think about it, and then determine
whether we are right or not.
AN IMPRESSIVE DEDUCTION.
It is a fact familiar to all that schools
and all desired public improvements, such
as paved streets, perfect sidewalks, parks,
city buildings, schools and colleges are
wholly dependent upon the tax levy. This
being true it necessarily ensues that II the
local business men are prosperous they are
invariably disposed to deal generously with
public clamor for needed convenfences and
Identification of their respective baliwicks,
whereas, on the other hand, business stag
nation and depression in commercial circles
unfailingly cause every taxpayer TO become
a watchdog of the city exchequer. This IL
lustration of taxation resolves itself into
but one conclusion; when the home mer-
chant is not earning the profits his business
warrants he becomes either antagonfstfc or
apathetic to any public-spirited movement
which may be suggested, regardless of its
source of emanatfon or intent
