WARNING SENT OUT.
A Bogus United Commercial Traveller
Has Been FooIina People.

Members of the order everywhere
are warned to look out for a rather
slick individual who has been working
a small sort of bunco game on unsus-
pecting travellers ON the railroads. This
man describes himself as G. W.
Stearns, travelling salesman for a lace
importing house at 3-5 Broadway, New
York, He generally travels with a
woman companion and boards trains
somewhere between New York and
Providence, and his speciality is to
represent that he Is temporarily short
of funds and attempts to borrow train
fare for himself and companion to
either Providence of New York City.
He wears the button Of the II. C. It..
although the records of the supreme
Office show that he is not, nor has
he ever been a member of the order.
He wears much fiashy jewelry in the
shape of pins and watchchains which
he offers to leave with strangers if
they hesitate in advancing him money
requested. 1t is found that he has
also been cashing worthless checks for
small amounts in small towns. Mem
bers of the order, encountering him,
should promptly denounce him and
assist TN bringing him to Justice.

funny TO READ
"REASONS Why"
a SOUTHERN BUGGY COMPANY
THAT SELLS BY CATALOGUE
ONLY CALLS THE COMMERCIAL.
TRAVELLER A HUMAN EXPENSE
ACCOUNT.

1t Is always funny to read the "rea-
sons why" given by catalogue houses
for eliminating the personal salesman,
More SO when one pictures the solemn
way In which these economic geniuses
are fooii1g themselves and failing to
fool any one else. But the most up
roariously funny screed I'm that line IS
the advertisement of a southern bug
gy company which recently came to
our attention. After calling the COM
mercial traveller a human expense ac-
count" this firms advertisement says:
Would you, as a business proposition,
keep some one about your place of bus
mess to tell you good stories, buy you
good cigars and entertain you general
ly? And, were you to do so, would
you not feel you were INDUCING in a
great luxury?
Now, MIR. Dealer, some one must
pay these jolly good fellows expenses
salaries, cigar bills. laundry bills
bar bills and for the good times they
show you. And who does? why, you
do, of Counsel"
Would the gentlemanly writer of the
above show I'D his advertising bills on
the basis of cost per sale in compari-
son with the other fellows human ex-
pense account?' Not otherwise, nit.
That is his reason why" It la part of
his spacious "plan" and policy" But
whisper-the dealer knows. one can
almost see him wink as he reads this
CUFF.

GREAT Showing
FOR TRAVELLERS
THE MEN WITH THE GRIP WILL
BALANCE UP MORALLY WITH
ANY OTHER CLASS OF MEN IN
THE COUNTRY, BARRING THE
MINISTRY.

One of the speakers at recent ban
quet made the statement that, meas
ured man for man with the members
of any other profession, barring the
ministry, commercial travellers show
more moral stamina in proportion to
the temptations to which they are con-
stantly subjected than any other class
of men,. The man on the road has
fewer OF the ordinary restraints which
serve to keep him in the straight and
narrow path than other men. The
great safeguard of home is for the
most part absent, and he would have
less difficulty in concealing his mis-
deeds from his home people. His mode
of life makes him rowing, unsettled
spirit of irregular habits. He must by
nature be sociable and companionable
and make his acQuaintances In the
most democratic way. His nerves are
for dong periods keyed up to the high
est pitch to meet selling conditions,
and he is subject to the bitterest dis
appointments. bringing reactions that
in most men often cause q lapse from
the path of rectitude. At the same
time his opportunities for gratifying
evil propensities are unparalleled in
any of the ordinary walks at life
Yet, in spite of all this, we have it.
not alone on our own observation, but
on the unbiased word of men of in
tegrity who have every opportunity TO
know the facts, that. man for man, the
commercial traveller compares in moral
backbone with the highest In the land.
The speaker was right, as all who take
the trouble to investigate can verify.

OUR NEW MINISTER"

For many years Denman Thompson
aud George w. Ryer's most success
full character play, "Our New Min
lister" has provided amusement for
countless thousands of people from
Maine TO California. Richard Nes-
mith who has played the part of the
constable for several seasons and who
has contributed largely to its phe-
nomenal success in all parts of the
country still retains his original role
in the comedy that will be presented
at the Park opera house on Friday
Sept. 23. Sensationalism dies A
beautiful story. simply told. will live
forever. The masterpieces of liter
ature are not stories of murder and
obsenity So with the stage. A saw
mill scene isn't the highest type of
dramatic art and so does not appeal
to intelligent people. But a simple
story of a mastery struggle against
seemingly overwhelming odds ms told
by those masters of stage literature,
Denman Thompson and George w.
Ryer will teach compassion and sym
pathy.
The comedy is irresistible. forceful
and natural. Each type is clearly
depicted and appeals to everyone's
idea of humor. The Suspicious
constable, some real gossip, that de-
lights every woman, a boy who dis
tributes current slang in an original
way, several types that are real In
every day life. and a carload of spe-
cial scenery, stage effects and other
paraphernalia marks the production,
and with many of the original players
in the cast makes this one of the
strongest organizations on the road.

KEEP THE MONEY In IDAHO.

The effort being put forth
by the Eastern Idaho Press
club to prevent job printing
in the various counties from
being sent out of the state, is
one which should meet with
general favor. There are Ger
tain classes of blank book
work that probably cannot be
done by any printing house in
this state, but there is no
doubt thousands of dollars
worth of job printing going to
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma
every year from the various
counties of Idaho, which could
and should be kept at home.
There are printing establish
ments in Boise, Lewiston and
other Idaho towns that are
capable of doing much of the
work that is now sent abroad.
The Oregon and Washington
printing houses do not pay
any taxes in Idaho, neither do
they pay a cent of license for
the privilege of doing BUSH
ness here. The only way to
build up home industries is to
patronize tdem. Why should
not the counties of the state
help to build up one or two
large printing and binding es-
tablishmentsin Idaho, instead
of enriching the exchequers
Of the foreign houses. The
money paid to Idaho houses
will be put into circulation in
Idaho, and some oft will find
its way back to the counties
from where it was paid, but
not a cent of the money paid

coma houses ever gets back

have had some influence, but
not to the extent that it would
mean his defeat.
''In the counties in which
local option elections have
been held many voted the
saloon out of business as an
experiment. They were will
ing to give it a test and see
if the adjustment of the sa-
loon would do what it was
claimed it would do by those
favoring the cause. Possibly
THESE voters have satisfied
themselves that the law or

it has not in some counties.
AS a result of a lack of enforc

that it has not been the un
