SATURDAY was the sixty
second anniversary OF the death OF
Edgar Allan Poe-the truly great
American poet.
Look at the facts Of his life-a
dream indeed.
The entrances and exits, the
pleasing wit and melancholy soli-
loquy. A naughty sarcasm to-
ward enemies, a kindly word for
friends. Ever chilly scorn for
his foes, but always a sympathetic
smile for those in distress. Proud,
independent, sentimental, morose.
Not perfect-just human.
"A man who lived all; on the
mountain where the sun shown
with beauty experimentation IN
the valley where shadows cast a
morbid gloom over his susceptible
nature. In all, he struck the
chords of LIES mystery, but the
wailing dirge sounded NEVER
MORE.

should constantly keep your goods
before your customers. 1t is
good policy to tell in your ads
where they can find these goods
in your store; in this way your
customers will constantly have in
mind a picture Of your store.
The cheapest and most eHec-
tive way of advertising is to adj
vertise in your local papers. You
reach all the people that are inter-
ested in your town and that do
some trading in your town, and
that possibly might be induced to
buy from you.
But one thing is absolutely cer-
tain, if you want to succeed in the
twentieth century, you must apply
twentieth century business me-
thods. You must advertise your
goods
Your home paper is the cheap
est means by which you can speak
to your customers, because it
reaches so many of them. Your
customers believe in your home
paper, for fake advertisements are
generally omitted. All you have
to do is to write your ad, the local
newspapers take care OF the rest.
They see to it that it is properly
sent to the homes where it is read
by every member OF the families
that know you. If your ads at
tract attention, they can't help but
bring results. In this country the
public has much more confidence
in the merchant that advertises
than in the one that seems to be
afraid of showing his goods to-
gether with his prices in the pub
lie home market place, the columns
OF your local paper, the best med,
ium for local advertisers.

JUST A WORD TO
THE MERCHANTS

In small towns IlleTe are always
merchants who consider advertis-
ing as donation to the publisher
O.: the paper. Some there are that
advertise in a spirit OF public SER
vice-that every town should have
paper of course and should be
supported. AS an advertising me-
dunn, way to increase business
and hold trade from going to a
nearby city it is an idea that has
apparently never occurred to
them.
Let us see. Philadelphia is
drawing trade from Newark every
day that rightfully belongs to this
town and Wilmington. To say
| that the people are led astray by
startling ads in the city dailies is
an acknowledgement that your
business methods need investiga-
ton.
There is no territory that you
can claim exclusively as your ter
| ritory, around which you might
build fence and compel the peo-
pie to purchase from you. You
cannot force the public 10 buy at
your store.
But it is true, there is a certain
territory in which you should
have greater advantage to do
business, all other conditions be-
ing equal. You should have a de-
cided advantage to do business in
your town and surrounding terri
tory over any outside competitor
There is a territory that you may
call your territory; you know the
people, know their desires and
know their purchasing power
You are living with these people,
you are ready to help them build
! schools, churches, and streets, and
all other improvements, which help
to build up community in which
it is pleasure to live.
| These people will be willing tc
purchase their needs from YOU
store provided you give them the
same courteous treatment tha
they get elsewhere and sell then
| goods at as reasonable a price as
they can buy for at any othel
place. And this, you certainly
can do, for whatever advantage
your city house competitor ma,
have in purchasing his goods OF
account OF his large purchasing
| power you make up for it in othe
ways such as lower rents, cheaper
help, lower taxes and then bein,
nearer to your customers.
But one thing is certain, yo,
, must get after this business. |
is mistake to assume that thes'
people must or should come t.
. your store. The public at larg
, admires the merchant that is afte
: the business. You must get in lin

tors and show your customer tina

WARNING AGAINST EXTREMISTS

in lf1E course OF the JuDllee
sermon delivered at the great Ca
thedral iof RAltinore recently,
Cardinal Gibbons spoke boldly in
defense of "the lamp OF the ia
theirs which has guided the steps
OF the American people as he fit
tingly described the Constitution.
His words of warning, while adj
dressed to Catholics, are deserv-
ing OF the serious attention of men
OF all faiths and every political
affiliation. The message is clear
and strong, striking at the very
root o. the "excesses of the popu-
lar impulse. The Brooklyn Ea-
gle says that, Not even in the
public utterances OF President TAFT
has the logic of resistance to anti
constitutional trends of sentiment
been put more tersely or more
strongly than by the one Ameri-
can Cardinal of the konA~h ......~-
lie Church, a church traditionally
in sympathy with the preservation
of public order"
He has felt keenly this rising
danger and has been strong
enough to raise his voice in a plea
for the protection of the institu-
tions OF representative govern
ment. And no one will doubt the
weight of his words even outside
the circle of his own church.
A few expressions from the SER
mon will show that his statements
are clear cut, leaving no room for
misinterpretation.
All changes are not reformation
and every man with panacea is
not reformer.
1t is proposed that acts Of the
Legislature shall have no force
till submitted to a popular vote.
* The power to veto the
acts of the Legislature is not rep
Tesentative government it is mob
law.
1t is also proposed to give the
people the power to recall Judges
before their terms expire. *
The recall of judges is an insult to
the integrity and self-respect ol
our judiciary. Better a venal Judge
here or there, than to have all the
judges on the bench slaves who
SIT with their ears to the ground
to hear the peoples will.
Especially can we give these
serious consideration when w
realize that it comes from one no,
representing either party or cater
ing to the popular favor for office
or prestige. 1t is a stern warning
from one OF cool judgment-no
of theorist, either, but of on,
closely associated with and in,
tensely interested in the practica
workings of Our public insttu
tions. Nor does it represent TIL
opinion of an tra-conservative
To know the life and work of Car
dinal Gibbons is to know life O

Resolution Rejected

The largest amount ever charged
up to political aspirant for office
IN Virginia FOR primary election ex-
penses was agreed upon Wednesday
nlght at the special meeting OF the
state Democratic committee. held in
Murphys Hotel, when the assessment
Of the four candidates for the United
states senatorship was fixed at $4,000
each. The large assessment is caused
by the fact that there are so few
candidates to be voted for in the gem
eral primary.
Secretary Brenaman, of the Demo-
cratic committee. said Thursday
morning that these were the largest
assessments ever made upon any can
didate for office in Virginia. That ar
the last senatorial primary the late
senator Daniel vas assessed at $500,
but this was afterwards increased sew
eral hundred dollars more to meet
the necessary expenses
1t is possible that the coming pri-
mary VIII cost more than $4,000,
and another assessment may be add
ed 10 meet the expenses.
On the question of assessment,
Chairman ElIyson reported that Il
number of counties had not replied
to his request for information as to
the amount of money needed Giving
ei'S@o tAe same amounts they mad at

cred by many persons the most radi-
cal piece of legislation vet under
taken by the liberal government. was
introduced in the House of Commons
to-day by Chancellor of the Exche-
quer Lloyd-George. The chancellor
said the scheme did not propose life
insurance. but merely insurance
against sickness and unemployment.
The insurance against sickness Is
divided into two sections, compulsory
and voluntary, the former not apply
Ing TO the men of the army or navy,
nor to teachers, for whom special pro-
visions are to be made.
Neither viii the scheme apply to
those who pay an income tax.
The tentative draft provides n flat
rate premium for skilled and unskill-
ed taborers, weekly deductions of 6
cents from the wages OF the men and
s cents from the wages of the wo-
men; the employer to pay cents
weekly for each Of his employees and
