Talks for people who sell things

Anybody can sell goods without
profit. 1t takes neither a real sales
man nor good advertising to do that.
The good salesman is the man who
can make a showing on the right side
of the ledger, and good advertising
sells goods, because they are worth the
money, not because of cut prices.
Often cut prices are cut-throat
prices. One fool merchant can jump
in at the wrong time and, without
making a cent for himself, spoil the
legitimate trade OF every other store.
For example, 1t happens usually that
some Of the Omaha hat stores get ex-
cited early in July and sells out straw
hats at cost. Straw hats should sell
until August LIST at a profit.
The public recognizes that every
store has right to a proft; they
could not stay In business otherwise.
What Is the use Of a merchant cutting
prices on seasonable goods before the
selling season is we'll toward the end
when the right sort of advertising
would sell the goods at a profit over
and above the cost Of the advertising
Most hat advertising copy is just q
poor picture and a price-not a word
about the goods. The merchant,
when he bought the stock, had some
good reasons for his selections. Why
not tell the buyers those reasons? The
drummer who sold the hats had q
good talk about his goods. Why not
use this as advertising copy? Tel
how the manufacturer you bought
from goes to all the trouble he takes
to get the right straw; where he geti

II this rule should become general It would

PULPIT AND PROHIBITION.
Noted Churchmen AssaiI "HumbuE
Temperance"

Noted Churchmen AssaiI "IIumbuE
Temperance"
Washington Post.
Is the pulpit beginning to look askance
at prohibition7 That summary legislation
has caused at least a partial change Of
sentiment toward prohibition as a political
question was convincingly evidenced by
election results In Alabama and in many
cities this spring, but that the temperance
cause is losing favor in its natural strong
hold, the pulpit, is q thing that rests on
testimony which, while striking and
cumulative. may, after all, prove TO be
only an isolated group of condolences.
Within the last week religious and tenn
perance circles have been agitated by the
sction Of o bishop and two ministers Of the
Episcopal church in pontedly declaring
their opposition to prohibition and even less
restrictive regulations. The announcement
OF the Rev. w. A. WATSON of Riverhead,
II, l., that he had resigned his clerical Of
flee in order to devote his time TO fighting
the humbug temperance" was followed in
q day or two by an arraignment Of pro-
hibition and its tenets delivered by the
Rev. E. A. WATSON Of Newark. N. j., q
brother OF the Riverhead rector. But far
more significant is the equally outspoken
deliverance of Bishop Frederick Burgess at
the convention of the Long Island diocese
on Sunday opening and local option, the
two questions paramount In the minds OF
the people of New York during the last
year.
As TO Sunday opening Bishop Burgess
said law dies the moment II ceases to
accord with the convictions Of q strong
minority Of the people. 1T is no use keep
ing 1t on the statute books for all II does
is to become one Of the richest sources OF
unholy revenue to INSCRIPTIONS police and
officials" Pointing out also what he looks
on as the defects Of local option, the bishop
said that II the efforts Of prohibtionlsts
we're directed to limiting the number of
| saloons strictly to the size of the popula-
ton, and the number as small as possible.
1T Would result In untold good to the com
| munity."
Bishop Burgess bold utterance excited
much comment among the clergy and laity
in attendance, but It did not have the
bombshell effect It might have produced
upon similar gatherings in some parts of
| the country. The published report Of the
proceedings states that while the bishops
advanced position was dwelt upon, the
| absence OF dissent was conspicuous. Local
lied az this outburst of anti-prohibition
feeling appears to be. the attitude of the
Long Island diocese is bound to challenge
the attention and Views Of churchmen far
| beyond Its confines, and thus serve tc
| Illustrate the trend of pulpit thought.

Amazing Iniquity.

A Follow-IJn system


The suggestion is made by that spir-
tied little weekly paper, the Western
Laborer, that the sequel OF the trade
boosters excursion should be a follow
up system through the daily news
papers so as to keep the people OF the
coveted trade territory in touch with
Omaha from day to day all the year
around, and to keep us in Omaha in
formed of what is doing among them.
The idea is good one except that
it's adoption does not depend, as is in
timated, entirely upon the newspapers,
but is up to the jobbers more than to
anyone else. The jobbers can, If they
want to, help materially in spreading
the gospel of Omaha through the news
papers, but We regret to say that
Omaha newspapers get less support
from the jobbers than from any other
business element OF the community.
The newspapers are doing this fol-
low up work all the time, boosting
Omaha as a market town, carrying
Omaha price quotations to the mer-
chants and buyers of the entire sur
rounding country and advertising
omaha's commercial advantages far
and wide. Every edition OF The Bee
is a trade booster for Omaha. although

realize il, for we know that with &

Its Purpose Appeals to Every
Swallowed Home.
Chicago Record Herald.
Memorial day has its deep personal mean
ing for every one whose house death has
entered. 1t is a day Of beautiful services,
of tender thoughts, Of the purest affections,
OF sorrow softened by devout thankfulness
for the associations of the past and by the
most inspiring hopes for the future
The day need not be given over to mourn
Ing, but 1t lie shocklngly out of keeping with
Its solemn and devout character to desc
crate it with noisy and perhaps sordid
sporting events. 1t is not day for wrest-
ling bouts, or bicycle races, or Joy riding,
or rlotous good times" 1t is day for
rest and quiet for reflection, for religious
sentiment, for a decent regard for the feel
ings of others, and every grossly incon-
gruous amusement Is a proclamation.
And 1t is to be hoped that as the sacred
memorial custom lives on we may be able
to eliminate from Memorial day all that
offends against Its purpose violates it's
sanctity and tends to make of it COM
mon day off.

The Truce of God.
Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
On this field OF the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more modest,
Nor sentry's shot alarms.
Ye have slept on the ground before
And started 20 your feet
At the lannon's sudden roar,
Or the drums sedoubling beat
But In this camp OF Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here Is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace.
Untrampled lies the aodi
The shouts OF battle cease,
1t is the Truce OF God.
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep.
The thoughts OF man shall be
As sentinels 20 keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents OF green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The mbemory shall be ours.

The blue and the Gray,

The Blue and the Gray.
BY the flow Of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades of graye,grass CULVER.
Asleep are the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the one the Blue,
Under the other the Gray.
These, in the robings of glory:
Those, in the gloom of defeat;
All, with the batte-blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet,
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue,
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The d06olat0 mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses the Blue
Under the lilies the Gray.
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall
With a touch impartiRlly tender
On the blossoms blooming for ALL
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold the Blue,
Mellowed with gold the Gray.
So when the summer calleth
On forest and field OF grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain the Blue,
Wet with the rain the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraidins,
The generous deed was done.
| In the storm OF the years that are fading
No drawer battle was won
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlands the Gray.
| No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
| When they laurel the graves Of our dead
| Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
