NO DANGER FROM THE MOB
UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION.

= 4 d ~
# In his veto of the resolution for

leo, President Taft used fortunate
# language when he referred to the
q danger from the mob if the recall was
II made applicable to judges.
A mob is a lawless body OF men men
existing usually for a day, seldom for
y greater length Of. time than week.
Alobs are public enemies, and there is
Il absolutely no danger Of a majority OF

ing a mob, or sympathizing with or

mob.

is convinced that the Hughes COM

President Taft to investigate the

Hold Business When You Get 1t

"fou are not generous enough with

'or' You are too close in all your
ueailngs with them and not nearly so
willing to concede to their demands as
you should be. You ara too prone To
insist on having your rights in your

These matters are not to be considered
from standpoint Of right and wrong.
out from standpoint Of policy. Hold
your trade at ali hazards. Never let a
man, woman or child get out of your
store dissatisfied.
This Is particularly necessary in
dealing with women. There is a pro.
fessor in Harvard with a name which
looks in print like it has been speared
of the free.lunch counter of a German
rathskeller who. after q long series of
experiments. says that American women
shift their attention much more quickly
than men. and his long series OF PSF.
Geological experiments and this deduc.
ton which he draws from them has
bearing on all merch andising, for every
merchant knows that women spend 20
per cent Of the money earned ia this
country, aud it must be the constant
effort OF every man to hold the business
of these tickle women.
at is infinitely easier to get business
than 1t is to hold it, yet the very life Of
business house depends on holding
the trade it gets. / doubt if there was
ever an advertisement printed which
paid back in direct profits the cost Of
the announcement. But if that an
nouncement brought hundred persons
into your store, and Of those hundred
persons 20 per cent became customers,
the advertisement paid a hundredfold
profit.
"You are willing to pay that extra
sum to get people to trade with you.
Would it not be equally good business
policy to spend an equal sum to retain

Steel Combine Gives Up Mines

A New York dispatch says the
United States Steel Corporation will
cancel its lease of the Great Northern
properties. one of the largest leases OF
OF the kind which the corporation holds.
The Great Northern properties are
estimated to include deposits of 3OO. .OO0,-
oOO tons of iron ore. The lease pro-
vides that the corporation mine 75O.0oC
tons more each successive year and that
the specified amount of ore must be
paid for whether it is mined or not
Under this provision. the corporation
would be required to mine 3.750.OoC
tons during the present year. or al
least pay for that amount, which would
mean $9,697 900.

SENATOR CULL0M'S NEW BOOK
Saws Roosevelt Was "Master Law
Enforcer," and Believes Taft
Is Weary Of Job

Chicago, October 21.--The first mum.
her Of Senator Cullom's . book Of personal
rsmlniscences appeared here to-day,
and has aroused considerable interest
bscause of the viewpoint from which il
regards men and issues that have been
a part Of the political life in which he
has been engaged in the last 30 years.
Roose ielt Is regarded by Senator
Collom's book as the Master law en-
forcer."
President Taft Is characterized as
good material for a Supreme Court
Justice-as to his Presidential caliber,
the book intimates that probably Presi-
dent Taft has not enjoyed the position
La Toilette and what he terms In.
surgency is described as the creation
Of q third party. and he can see no lead
or Of the Republican Party in the
Senate since Senator Aldrich's with.
drawal.
What Roosevelt Accomplished
OF the Roosevelt Administration,
Senator Cullom says:
Colonel Roosevelt accomplished
more in his second term than any Of his
predecessors; more laws were enacted
laws OF more general benefit to the
people-and above all. his administra.
tion enforced all laws ON the Statute
books as they never had been enforced
before. The Sherman antitrust law
was q dead letter until Roosevelt in
structed the Attorney General to prose-
cute its violators. He will go down in
the history Of his country as the most
remarkable man Of his day"
Thinks Taft Is Sorry
The Senator, in saying that he doubts
that Taft has enjoyed his Presidency,
adds:
~ myself always have thought he
would have made one of our greatest
Chief Justices had he been appointed to
that position"
He denies that President Taft was re-
sponsible for the setback his party re
ceiyed in 1910. charging that misfortune
to a WEAKNESS on the part of the people.
to Republican prosperity, and the agita-
ton of newspapers over the Aldrich-
Payne tariff bill.
Senator John @. Spoouer's resignation
he attributes to Spooner's embarrass.
ment at the growth in bis State of what
the writer calls ''La Follettsism."
La Toilette Started II
A new era in the customs Of the SEN
ate followed the entry TO that chamber
Of Senator La Toilette. says the book.
This is pointed out in more ways than
one. Besides marking the birth OF In-
surgency. it was the opening of new
day for the young man in the Senate,
Senator Cullom thinks.
"Iudeed." relates the book, "while
formerly the spectacle OF u young Sen
ator rising to make speech before the
close OF his second year in the Senate
was unusual, ii recently has come TO be
remarked upon IL new Inan remains
