A Much-needed Law.

The shortcomings of the Sherman
antitrust law are depIorably illustrated
in the spectacle of the Attorney General
appearing in 4 New York court and out
lining plan upon which he will con-
sent to the reorganization of the tobacco
trust.
The trouble with the Sherman law
is that it is destructive and not con-
Structive. 1t declares that there shall
not be a conspiracy in restraint of trade,
but it does not define the nature of this
conspiracy, nor does it specify what
course should be pursued when conspir-
acy has been established. Under these
circumstances, the Attorney General is
probably justified in his effort to supply
the deficiency.
No officer of the government should,
however, be a law unto himself. His
functions are purely executive, not legis-
lative. There should be upon the statute
books to-day a plain and definite law
which would meet the emergency now
presented. 1t should prescribe the priv
ileges as well as the limitations of cor
porations in explicit language, so that
judge, attorney, and business man might
clearly see the path that is to be fol-
lowed
We need in Congress, to frame such
a law, men of broad experience, both in
creative legislation and practical bust
ness. We admit that such men are
difficult to find.

Congregational Candidates Scarce.

Speaking of the next national election.
Alexander Campbell, the only announced
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Congress in the First district of West
Virginia, said IT looks as though the field
OF Congressional candidates is going to
be small. Several men who, according to
reports, would have made the race, are
not going to enter. seeing the hopeless
ness of the struggle, and so candidates
will be scarce. Mr.. Campbell believes he
has fair chance Of winning the nomina-

New Lines in Politics.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson, OF New Jersey.
speaking at Dallas. Tex, said that rapid
formation of thought on economic read
justment is producing the present align
ment in national politics. The division
Is not so distinctly into Democrats and
Republicans as into progressives and
those who resist a change. THE only
organizations" he said, now at the
disposal of the progressive thought of
the country is the Democratic party.
There are thousands of progressives
nominally in the Republican party, and
they are led by men OF extraordinary
ability and equipment. But they are in
a minority in their own party. They
are not in control of it's organization.
They cannot use it to accomplish their
objects. They are thwarted by its lead
ers. The Democratic party. on the other
hand, is in control OF its progressive ele-
ments; stands nearer the people and the
facts than does the Republican party
as an organization. 1t is ready and free
and determined to act. Its counsels
hGyo cen accommodated to the circum-
s.. and needs OF a new age"

SHOULD KNOW
The CUSTOMER
c. w. POST, THE BIG ADvERTls-
ING MAN, SAYS ESSENTIAL
POINT FOR TRAVELLING MEN is
TO KNOW THEIR CUSTOMERS.

C. W. Post. the welI-known adver-
Using authority, in discussing sales
manship. says:
a salesman must know his customer
right to the bone-llow he lives, feels,
thinks and talks. Then when the
goods are explained he must use plain
words, homely illustrations and more
or less of the vocabulary OF the cus-
toner.
Perhaps no one thing will so surely
drive a customer away as to talk in
some "highfalutin" language he does
mt understand.
A silence sets up and the customer
slips away as soon as he can, and goes
down to some chap who says 'Howdy,
joint What's ailin you that fetches
you to town today?
Want a wagon, hey?
well, say, you come out to the shed
and let me show you the newest and
best painted wagon ever run acrost.'
Then follows a description, in ver-
nacular, of the way the wheels are
made OF secod growth hickory spokes,
felloes CT oak boiled in oil, tongue of
ash and box ali iron to stand the
everyday work OF farm and road.
THAT salesman knows his man, his
needs, his thought, and his language.
He will sell a carload Of wagons,
while college professor is spinning
grammatical tales that the customer
does not grasp and is embarrassed by.
I recently had the opportunity OF
talking with a man whom I consider
great sales manager
The talk happened to hit upon the
train schedule craze. Here was his
gospel on this subject:
II got this line on my men from an
experience with one salesman who
travelled a month without taking an
order from the dealers. His answer
was that he was covering his territory.
/ made 1t plain to him that the only
