The People and The Esya:as.

To keep the people divided is
the hope Of the bloated politi-
cal and business pirates, Scare
crows are erected, false cries
sounded and poisoned news is
printed, all with the idea of
dividing the rank and file of
citizenship. When the system
can keep the mechanic voting
opposite to the farmer, when
the plumber can be induced to
vote opposite to the carpenter,
then the interests, with the
votes they own outright, have
hope of winning.
But the old game is about
played out. The people at last
are recognizing the line which
separates them from the pirates

BllI's Hearing Voices!

The voice of the supreme
court is the voice of God, and
heaven will be place where
justice is administered as tile
courts administer it in the
United States, says Taft.
You don't say so. Then the
supreme court spoke for God
in the bred Scott case. Who
did Abraham Lincoln and the
Union armies speak for when
they wiped that decision out
with blood? For the devil, do
you think?

Schoo! Laws.

Attention is called 20 the fact
that under change of the state
school law the age requiring
compulsory attendance of child.
rem at school is between eight
and sixteen years, the new law
having added one year to the
time limit required of attend
ance upon the part of the pupil.
Another important matter in
which the school laws have
been amended is that all dis
trict schools must be open for
a term not less than seven
months during the year in or
der that the district secures it's
apportionment of the state and
county tuition funds. Under
the old law six months school
was all that was required.

A WISCONSIN EDITOR SHOWS LOCAL MBR-
CHANTS THAT ADVERTISING Is
SUREST WEAPON
The HOME PAPER Is The EASIEST WAY TO REACH
ALL The PEOPLE

Almost every town. and city
has it's merchants who figure
every cent spent for newspape,
advertising in the nature of q
donation to the publisher. They
are always ready to denounce
the mail order houses, and have
the newspapers help them dc
80, but their own advertising ie
done with reluctance.
But all merchants who do
not advertise are not unpro-
gressive. Often it is simply
because they have not been
awakened to it's value. Spread
ing the doctrine of advertising
may not be the duty of the edi.
tor or publisher, but doing so
is good thing from business
standpoint.
At a recent meeting of the
Business Mems association of
Sheboyean; A. O. Heyer, man.
aging editor of the Herald of
that city, gave a talk on the
subject of advertising, and
showed how the mail order
houses may be best combatted.
Every editor and publisher in
terested in increasing his local
advertising should take the
time to read his remarks:
HAS EQUAL RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS
"In addressing you on the
subject of the Mail Order House
evil, permit me to say that the
mail order house is competi-
tor of yours. You must admit
that the mail order house has
as much right to do business
as you have.
"You should treat this COM
petitor with the same spirit of
fairness as you treat all your
other competitors. Competi.
tion should only spur you to
greater activity and to adopt
better methods in conducting
your business. A good compe.
titor is always more beneficial
than detrimental to your bust
ness.
"There is no territory that
you can claim exclusively as
your territory, around which
you might build fence and
compel the people to purchase
from you. You cannot force
the public to buy at your store.
"But it is true, there is GER
tain territory in which you
should have greater advant
age to do business, all other
conditions being equal. You
should have a decided advant-
age to do business i'm your
home town and surrounding
territory over any outside COM
petitor. There is a territory
that you may call your terri
tory; you know the people,
know their habite and desires
and know their purchasing
power lat least you ought to. }
You are living with these peo-
pie, you are ready Tor at least
should be ready to help them
build schouls, churches and
streets and all other improve
ments which help to build up
q community in which it is a
pleasure to live.
