Behind theP Olitial Scenes

'The Redwood Gazette lets loose a
long string of political dope concern
ing the congressman-at-large job, the
governorship and the senatorial sit
uation, suggests all kinds Of possible
candidates for the various positions
and then puts it up to some one else
to straighten out the ENGAGEMENT, -
says the St. Peter Free Press.
We admit both the accusation and
the conclusion. The Free Press con-
tinues:
THAT of course is easier said than
done. No one is able at this time
to predict with any degree of GER
tainty who will be the successful
candidate for congressman-at-large
for instance. There are number of
Barkises for the honor but the
position, while short lived, requires
a man Of more than local standing
and some Of the aspirants would cut
very little figure in the final windup.
The suggestion that q young college
bred man step forward and take the
job is probably meant as a joke; con-
gress is not, or ought not to be. q

EXPRESS COMPANIES, SUPERfLUOUS.

AS we have taken occasion to men
ton before. we are not in love with
the express companies. their methods
and prices, particularly prices
There are others who agree with u.s.
Note the following from the Rocky
Mountain News:
1--WE can see no reason of public
policy for permitting express COM
panies, as such, to exist. The work
of an express company is either rail-
road business or postoffice business.
If railroad business. then it should
be handled by the railroads. If
postoffice business, then it should be
transacted by the postoffice. To call
into being third party merely to
manage the distribution Of special
class of freight or a special type of
p >stal packages strikes us as absurd.
And we know it Is expensive"
Right. Absolutely right. The
Knoxville Sentinel attempts to &C.
count for it this way:
"The railroad companies probably
thought it beneath them to collect
and deliver parcels. The postoffice
did not do so, and the express COM
pany was created to fill the gap.
Having taken root and tnrivsn, the
express company came into political
power. 1t had the backing Of the
railroads, which control the express
company directly or indirectly and
participate in it's profits. and was
able to dictate to the government.
To feather it's nest, the postoffice
was forbidden to transmit merchan-
disc packets of more than four
pounds. and the rate for such pack
ages is preposterous."
That isn't the only thing that has
been done by the government to
feather the nests Of the express
companies.
The law absolutely prohibits the
express business. 1t forbids any
body but the postoffice to carry let
tiers or packets" Under that law
there could be no express companies
or anything betwe cen the freight
business of the railroads and the

ed picture. To get such illustrations
you need not only high grade ex-
perienced artist but one who has
first class knowledge of advertising.
Then it requires considerable stu
dy and experiene in descriptive liter
allure to create interest in goods
even in those you are selling daily.
Again to bring conviction to the
mind of a reader surely and suggest
lively necessitates a knowledge of
how it has been done in thousands of
other cases.
TASK is DIFFICULT
All this means that the up-to-date
merchant who desires to make his
advertising scientifically must either
study retail advertising as part Of
his business training or employ an
experienced advertising constructor.
There is more in planning and
writing a successful advertisement.
than the ordinary retailer realizes.
And the smaller the advertisement
the more difficult the process. Only
those who have made big successes,
by the employment of advertising in
its most efficient form know the,
true value of craftsmanship through
advertising.
REQUIRES SPECIAL TRAINING
Constructing advertisements is.
like the practice of medicine or law,
it requires special training to do it
successfully. The average merch--
ant can no more build an advertise
ment that will bring sure returns.
than the average advertisement writ
er can cure your body or argue your
case in court. And the average.
merchant who attempts to do it is
perpetrating as much harm to his
business as the amateur would do to
the human body if he tried to doc
tor it.
Those syndicated advertising SER
vices are constructed by experts of
national reputation who have had
many years experience in that class
OF work and who are paid large SAL
aries for their services. The low
prices at which the services are offer
ed are only made possible by the
large number sold throughout the
country. For some of the services
the prices are as low as one dollar a.
week.
Those syndicated advertising ses-
vices may be obtained from the edi-
tor OF this paper. 1t is unwise for
any retailer to be without such a
means of securing sure returns from
his advertising when he can get sue
cess bringing advertisements for
these low prices.

Down in New Jersey they dock
the governor when he is out of the
state and the lieutenant governor
gathers the salary. If that were the
case in Minnesota we wonder it
James Arneson would criticise the
governor for visiting other states?
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-07-25

THE most pertinent question a
retailer must think about when
he starts out to consider the question
of filling the advertising space he
has bought in the local newspaper is
how can | sell my goods successfully
through this newspaper? The best
answer to the question is undoubt-
edly another question. He must
ask himself: If l had to sell these
goods in my store how would ap-
proach my customer = how could
Interest her and in what way should
| convince her? Last of all he must
ask himself whether he is capable of
doing all this in the newspaper space
as well as in the store.
When a merchant has answered
these questions satisfactorily he may
commence compiling his advertising.
But until he realizes that salesman
ship is just as necessary in the news
paper space as in his store selling
goods he can never hope to get the
value he has every right to expect
from his space.
FOUR MAIN POINTS
Four main points enter into all
craftsmanship whether personal or on
paper; first. the attention of the
possible customer must be obtained;
second. interest must be created in
the goods you are going to sell;third
the customer must be convinced she
wants the goods and last, but by no
means least, she must be induced to
make the purchase.
In planning his advertising there
fore the merchant has to apply these
principles in such a way that from
his announcements results are OBJ
tanned as matter of course. But
he must remember always that sales
manship on paper is more difficult
than salesmanship in person because
he cannot make his selling argu-
ments felt in the same degree as
when he meets his customer face to
face.
MOST NEED HELP
Unless a merchant can apply these
four principles successfully to his
craftsmanship through advertising,
his publicity will get no more returns
than a poor salesman in his store.
And let me state here that no ordi-
nary merchant can get the highest
grade Of salesmanship in his news
paper without outside help.
There are many reasons for this.
1t has been found, for instance, that
the best way to secure attention is
to use a good illustration. Nothing
has a surer human interest effect or
gets quicker action than well select

Rep. Brewer and A. J. Rockne

Again the Fress Press: "The most
perplexing question with some peo-
pie seems to be what Governor Eber-
hart has up his sleeve His nearest
friends insist that he wants to be
renominated for his present posi-
ton, others claim that he has an eye

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, Oct 31.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of . to 5
points. Cables were not up to expecta-
tons and brokers had an accumulation
of selling orders to fill. The indications
were that much of this selling came from
the interior. Professional traders were
buyers. either to take profits short
sales or else to go long for a turn on the
theory that a reaction was due. The
weather map was cloudy with consider
able rain in the western half of the cotton
belt. At the end of the first half-hour
of business, prices were 4 to 5 points
under yesterdays close.
Buying by ring traders increased toward
the middle of the morning as the market
showed signs of reacting. News from the
governors cotton conference was early
watched for and the report that bull lead
ers were in session with some of the dele
gates had a stimulating effect on the
market. The movement was very large
and the iRto-sight for the week promised
to break all records; this served to pre-
vent buying in some quarters and caused
a small amount of fresh selling for short
account. The undertone of the market
showed improvement, however. and at
noon prices were to points over yes

THE CORONER'S
JURY TO MEET
AFTER RECESS OF MORE THAN

VERDICT WILL BE RENDERED
IN THE CASE OF JOHN HARGIS.

After a recessof more than a week.
the coroner's jury empaheled the day
of the murder to investigate into the
cause of the death of John Hargis, the
Breek, who was murdered in his store
a week ago last Monday, will hold an
other session this morning at 10
o'clock in the Office of Coroner Mich
eisen, and although nothing has been
made public concerning the investi-
cations of the jury, it is. thought that
perhaps some light may be shed upon
the affair before the jury renders d
verdict today.
1t is very probable that a number
of witnesses will beeXamined and some
of those interested in the case are
known to have some theories, which
the examination of some of the wit
nesses may tend todeVelop. In fact,
it would prove very surprising to some
of those who have been observing
things closely if some arrests should
occur shortly after the jury meets to-
day.

TO USE PRECAUTIONS IN
SMOkELESS POWDER
BY Associated Press.

Washington. Oct. 3t.-Extraordinary
precautions in the handling of smoke
less powder have been ordered by Sec
Fetary of the Navy Meyer, probably as
result of reports that the explosion
which destroyed the French battleship
Biberte was due to the deterioration
of this high explosive.
When smokeless powder is taken
from magazines on shore to the ships
or from the ships to shore for target
practice, the order says it must be
efficiently shaded from the direct rays
of the sun and protected from eX
posture to a temperature higher than
one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
When this has not been done. the ex-
posed ammunition must be segregated
and, If on board ships, it must be land
ed at a naval magazine at the first
opportunity if there is reason for be-
lieVing it has deteriorated.
