WITH THE TRAVELLERS
APPEAL FOR The HOTEL
Able Address Delivered by Rome Mil.
Ter, Well Known Traveller, in
Favor Of Hotel.

The following very able and inter-
osting address was given recently by
Rome Miller. well known western
traveller. at banquet that was given
at the Missouri Kansas hotel mems
banquet held at Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
and much that he said applies to this
locality and to every other locality for
that matter. He said in part:
1T is through association that we can
make the public realize that the hotel
stands for something more than a line
of business, that it is in fact social
institution ranking I'm Importance with
the American home, and as such, is
entitled to receive and must receive
much more thoughtful consideration
than has heretofore been accorded to
1t in the west. stand here to appeal
for the elevation of the hotel to its old
place as fixed institution of society
meriting the very best consideration at
the hands of all men who have anything
to do with the shaping of policies of
local and state governments. The wave
of adverse hotel legislation that is
sweeping the country, and which in
most cases is radical and drastic, can
only be checked by personal alertness
and influence and by associated watch
fulness. A national hotel association
is not sufficient. There is distinct
work for the state, interstate and city
association. Each one of these should
receive your hearty support and en-
couragement. 1t is advisable for us TO
join in and promote the national work
to insure protection against the dead
beat and bad check pusher. We should
encourage the Northwestern Protective
Hotel Mems association.
There is no tariff on ideas; neither
have the trusts cornered thoughts-they
are still as free as the zephyrs of heav-
en- therefore, if your opportunities of
acquiring knowledge i'm your special
line Of business, exceed those of your
fellows in your community il is your
duty to give them the benefit of that
knowledge.
IF by so doing you improve your
competitors business, he i'm turn i'm
proves the volume of business in your
territory and gives better reputation
to the hotel business of your city or
town.
You thereby, receive your reward
not only in dollars, but in the satisfac-
ton of a laudable ambition to assist
your brother bonifaces in raising the
standard of hotel keeping and hotel liv-
ing.
why not come out of your shell of
eXclusiveness into the atmosphere and
environment of association work? 1t is
a germ that will grow if given the
slightest encouragement and If sincere
and earnest in its development, you
will be surprised at the awakening of
new impulses, and before you are
aware, you will find yourself a full
f1edged association man"

Wiley on Trade.

DR. IL w. Wiley recently uttered
the following which will be read with
interest not only by the travellers but
by all classes:
The whole foundation OF trade. that
is commerce, rests upon one principle
which is sometimes too little kept in
view-tlIat of honesty and truthful
ness. While we cannot separate from
commerce the idea OF a gain, and
while it would be undesirable to do so,
I believe that there is a growing ten
dency among men engaged in COM
merce to inject into their thoughts
that other important element--the
usefulness and we'll doing of that par
ticular branch of commerce in which
they are engaged. There is a growing
desire to minister more to the wants
and necessities of man rather than to
increase unduly the dividends de-
clared
There is a growing belief among the
people that the accumulation either of
vast personal fortunes in the hands OF
the individuals or of the corporations
is not an unmixed good. That people
engaged in business should make mon
ey and fortunes, where possible of a
moderate character no oneN will deny,
but if the profits be unduly great, so
that the fortunes become unduly
large, there may be reason for OBJ
jecting to the methods employed.
There is manifest tendency, which is
becoming stronger and stronger every
year, to recognize in the channels of
commerce other strong motives than
merely those of making money.

Do Not Be Small.

Be bigger than your job! Then you
can make the job as big as you rae
and draw an increased salary. If your
job is bigger than you are you are
bound to be swamped. Some young
men labor under the idea that they are
not being paid enough, and under that
false opinion lie down and decide not
to work so hard. Their job is bigger
than they are.
You no doubt have wondered why
this fellow has risen from obscurity to
the higher position in so short a time.
He was bigger than his job. He puts
his whole soul into his work. He puts
tries to do more and better work than
anybody else who ever held the job.
He is not afraid to do more than he
thinks his salary requires.
He who tries to measure his own
orbit and fixes the amount of work
he thinks his salary is worth never
succeeds. The fellow who gets up and
does things, and does not think of SAL
airy and time, but of his job, is the one
who makes a success of life.

Ia Merchant nostrieh.D

It is related that the ostrich, when
ever danger is nigh, pol1es his head
into the sand, thinking by so doing
that he puts his entire carcass out OF
the path of trouble. We are reminded
of this by the statements of a live
merchant not more than 1000 miles
from this Office. He claims that there
is nothing doing by the big fellows
in Chicago by means of the books or
catalogues which are in the homes OF
every farmer in the vicinity of the
above named merchant. He says there
is no buying on the part of the peo-
pie in that neighborhood. We asked
this question: "Supposing you found
that $4,000 had been sent from a ra-
dius of ten miles around your town to
two of the big mail order houses in
Chicago durinI the past twelve months,
would you then be willing to admit
that there was something doing in
this direction" And all are waiting
for the gentlemans answer.

Believes in Printers Ink.

George M. Evenson, salemanager
Knapp & Spencer Co., is a believer
in printers ink, says The Commercial
News. While engaged in the hardware
and implement business at ST Peter,
Mimi, some years ago, the great need
of advertising was brought forcibly
to his attention many times He tells
of an old German farmer who bought
mail order buggy. Mr. Evenson
called the farmers att sntion to the
buggy that he had for sale, but the
old gentleman said, why, Mr.. Even
son, bought the buggy at wholesale.
They told me 1t was wholesale price.
You are in the retail business; you
can't compete with them wholesale
fellows" Being shown buggy which
beat the cataloguers vehicle price and
all, the German far-ler turned to the
hardware man and exclaimed, We'll,
why didn't you tell me you had that
buggy, 1 did not know you had it,"
After that Mr. Evenson was a good
advertiser. He told the people what
he had for sale and he kept on telling
them. He never did let up and as a
result the business grew and grew.

Will Want CLUB
TO help THEM
LOCAL TRAVELLERS WILL CALL
ON COMMERCIAL CLUB TO SEE
WHAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
WILL BE GIVEN TO HELP EN-
TERRAIN THE 1911 CONVENTION.

At the next meeting of the Fargo
Commercial club committee OF the
| local council of the United Commercial
Travellers will ask the club what as
sistance the council may expect IL they
bring the next big convention here in
June of 1911. The local boys of the
grip have come to know that it takes
money to run so large a convention as
the one will be of the travellers for
next year and they do not feel that
they (the travelers) should be made
to bear the entire expense.
They have had some experience in
years gone by and they don't care to
repeat the same thing. The committee
will meet with the commercial club
and explain just how many travelling
men and their ladies will be here.
They viii also show to the CONNER
cial club the benefits that the adver-
Using will do the town of Fargo and
they will ask some substantial assist
ance from the people here. There is
not man connected with the travellers
who would not be gre; thy pleased to
have the district convention held here
but the expense is too heavy to be
borne by the locals as a society with
out some outside assistance. The trav-
elers realize that when they invite the
districts councils to come here they
must furnish some attractions, and it
is up to the whole city as represented
by the business men to assist in the
expense.
The travellers are willing to do more
than their share, but they want all to
help, as all will be helped by the adj
vertising the convention will give the
city. 1t is estimated that $500 mem
bers of the travelling fraternity and
their ladies will visit Fargo during the
three or four days of the convention
and it is believed that the advertising
that will accrue from the talk OF the
travellers for the next thirteen or four
teen months will advertise the city as
nothing else can do.
1t is hoped by the council that the
commercial club management can see
| its way clear to render assistance. Not
so very long ago Winnipeg's city
council donated quite a sum of money
for such convention of travellers and
Grand Forks council also gave quite a
sum. The locals would be pleased to
receive half the amount given by either
town for this purpose. If the city
council and commercial club will as
sist the 1911 convention is sure TO
come here.
A large number of the members of
the council of this city will go to
saltwater Mimi, to attend the district
convention which will be held there
during the month Of June.
