Mail Order Versus Home Trade.

Did you stop to consider the reason why many
people down their home merchants and send much
of their money away to some corporation who never
heard of them before and hear from them
again, except with a remittane? Take up almost
any farm peaper and the reason becomes plain.
For instance, in three farm journals last week. sp-
peared 31s inches of mail order advertising appealing
to the farmers; of this amount great farm paper
published in Des Moines had nearly 200 inches.
1t is just this kind of advertising coupled with the
laxity of the kind of enterprise by the home
chants that has built up the mail order business in this
country.
In proof of this last state ment let refer
thing that has been done in Columbus territory within
the last three months. group of men secured the
territory tributary to Columbus and suppose other
surrounding towns with inferior make of stove which
sold price far above that charged the dealers
for standard The who bought these wagon
peded stoves for the part in the habit of
buying their other merchandise from the big mail order
houses. large portion of this undoubtedly, be-

Mike Harrington seems to have made good in his
threat to not support Hamsn if he should receive the
democratic nomination for railway commissioner In
statement issued few days ago. he showed very plainly
that he just what he said and has thus placed
himself in about the position q certain de-
mocrat of Columbus about year sgo-out of grace with
the political leaders of his party but peace with his
conscience. The World Herald, in commenting on
the result of the primary, has this to say:
Mr. Harman owes his nomination not to the
alleged support of railroad and liquor interests
but to the resentment that was born in the
breasts of thousands of good democrats because
of what they regarded unjustifabe at
tack upon him by the chairman of the party
convention.
That sounds suspiciously like some campaign dope
that was handed out year ago, by the World Herald
