There are number of good rea-

Given A Jolt.

The express companies in Canada,
are given a jolt by the dominion
railroad commission which they
seem to merit richly. Their charges
are declared to be extortionate and
should be reduced 10 per cent at
least all around. They are grossly
Overcapitalized and act as leeches
to draw unduly from regular trans
portatiOn revenue. The situation
there is evidently quite like that in
this country. with the difference
however. that in Canada the rail-
roads own the express companies
while here the express companies
are large owners in the railroad
companies. But in both cases the
two classes of companies have a
relationship which makes a clear
field for a game of hide and seek
wnen public inquiry is afoot respect
ing the reasonableneSs of transpor-
tation rates. The Canadian COM
mission declares that as the express
companies are owned by the rail-
roads there is no occasion for their
maintenance to do a part of the
business of the railroads. They
should, in other words, be abolished.
And even though in the United
States the railroads do not own the
express companies they should be
made to handle the express business
There is no more reason why sepa-
rate companies should handle this
business in the United States than
in Canada, and no more reason why
a railroad should farm out its pack
age traffic than this or that class of
bulkier traffic. Springfield (MaSs.)

Why the Big Stores Are Big.

"A country paper that comes to
this Office every week" says the
Emporia Gazette, invariably con-
tains page advertisement of the
big store The advertisement al
ways is well written and interesting
and the exchange editor reads it
because it is good hot stuff 1t is a
pretty safe bet that the people of
that town and surrounding country
read it regularly and practice it in
their lives. There is big store in
almost every western town, how
ever small that town may be. and
it is invariably the heaviest adver-
tiser. The same rule holds good in
the largest cities. If you pick up a
Chicago paper you always see an
nouncement of the big store. The
lesson of this fact should appeal to
every business man, without eX-
PLANTATION. The big stores of this
country are owned by successful
business men. Enterprising and
successful business men are oppos-
ed to the waste of money and they
wouldn't advertise all the year
round if advertising did not bring
results worth while. The small
stores are the ones that don't ad-
vertiSe. That is why they are
small. 1t makes no difference
whether a merchant is located in a
country village or a big metropolis
if he wants to do the business he
has to 90 after it, and the modern
way and the only satisfactory way
of going after business is by adver-
Using.

For many reasons Jefferson City
is the place for the State Capital to
be built and we hope all aspiring
cities will take down their capital
lightning rods and let us have no
scramble. Let peace and harmony
prevail. Every place mentioned
may have some good reason to offer
why the capitol should be moved
but Sift it down and all these rea-
sons are selfish ones. The pioneers
selected wisely when Jefferson City
was chosen as the Capitol City and
it should remain there. A new
$5000,O0O building of Missouri
material should be erected in Jeff,
erson City at the earliest possible
date.

States, thus making each farmer
and laboring man pay the salary
and for the keep of a soldier. There
is no need of this. Only the manu-
facturers of battle ships, ornaments
and army contractors profit by a
big army and navy. The good roads
would help all citizens and make
the country more prosperous.

Jack Blanton of the Paris Appeal
makes a good suggestion when he
says that a rock road amendment
should be tackled on to every mill
tary and naval bill offered in the U

more to all classes of citizens than
does a big navy or standing army.
They would not cost as much and
would be more profitable to the
country. European countries are

pie in this country are trying to
