COUNTRY AND
CITY STORES
City Stores Spend from l IL to 4
Percent Of Its Gross Sales in
Advertising
NEWSPAPER is The BEST MEDIUM
Country Stores Should Spend About
Two Percent

AT the Inland Empire Retail
Dealers Association held last week
Wednesday, in Spokane, we reprint
the following remarks on advertis-
ing, taken from The New West
Trade:--
Alex Green of the Crescent store
gave very interesting and practi-
cal address on "Advertising". The
substance OF his remarks we're:
In the fist place the country
merchant should advertise. SIN the
second place how should he adver-
tized? The merchant must use the
means he has at hand to advertise.
He must state in his ad, what he
has for sale. what it is good for,
and the cost. Above all things an
advertisement must be truthful.
Outside advertising, such as on
fences, barns, calendars and novel
ties should be used sparingly. The
following are absolutely useless
Programs. bulletins, hotel registers
and menu cards, and should only
be classed as charitable gifts News
papers are the chief mediums in
advertising.
The copy must be truthful. 1t is
better to underestimate than to over
estimate the goods you have fol-
sale, so that the people will be sur
prised when they come TO see the
goods. Give plenty of time to TIE
writing of the ad, and change tht
ad at every issue of the paper. Make
your heading tell the story in &
few words. Don't try to get funny
Study your trade, use the meth
DDS you think best and watch fol-
results. The successful city bust
ness store spends from II 20 4 pc
cent of its gross sales in advertising
A.country merchant ought to spenC
about 2 per cent. No man can afforC
TO spend more than 5 per cent.
Let the merchandise back NJ
your ad. Use sign cards and man.
of them. Show windows are yer,
effective, and it is much better i
the show window and advertise
ment work together.
The. store ought to be place thu
people will want to visit. IT ough
to be attractive and comfortabl
for the customers. Carry a gooC
stock, employ courteous clerks an,
have a small comfortable waitin
room for women and children.

THE JUDICIAL BILL
A Statement in Reference to an Attack
on Senator Page

on Senator Page
In the last issue OF this paper
there appeared an article signed by
Taxpayer" attacking Senator
Page of this county. The grievance
of the writer was that Senator Page
had introduced a bill providing
for the election of the Judge of the
new judicial district, in case the
district comprising the counties of
Bonner and Kootenai is divided,
1t has never been the policy of this
paper to accept an article attacking
an individual or public official
unless the writer signed his own
name, and even then we do not
care for such articles, and commu-
ications unsigned by the writer's
true name will not he accepted in
the future. A person desiring to
attack public official should come
out into the open, where the official
stands, and not fire from ambush.
The truth about the judicial bill
Is this 1t was introduced slmultan-
eously in both the House and SEN
ate by the Republican embers
from the counties of Bonner and
Kootenai. The Senate bill was in
troduced by Senator Page and
Potts. TIE House bill was intro
duced by Representatives Jones,
Farmin and Sanborn of Bonner
and Kootenai County. These gen.
tlemen constitute the entire legisla-
tive delegation from Bonner county
and the Republican members from
Kootenai county. They have
been elected by their constituents
to represent them in the Legisla-
ture at Boise. They are upon the
ground and every one Of them
making good in his respective Of
fetal position. The judicial bill as
introduced is the result Of confer
ence of all of these members, and
after taking all the facts and cir
cumstances into consideration this
bill embodies their judgment as to
the best interests of the two coun-
ties.
1t is not the purpose of this
paper to dircuss the merits of this
bill, or the merits of any other bill
that may be introduced bearing
upon the division of this district,
1t is our opinion that the gentle
men named above have the conf
dence of their constituents, and that
they are getting the best results
possible at Boise.
If Senator Page is at fault, then
our own fellow-townsman, Repre-
sentative Jones, is at fault, any
attack upon Mr.. Jones, from any
source in this community, will GER
tainly fall fiat. In regard to the gen.
tlemen named above, who are serv-
ing in the Legislature at Boise. re-
ports from the StateCapital indicate
that they are all making good. All
have received prominent considera-
ton in the organization of the two
Houses Each one has received spl-
endid committee assignments, and
it is reported that their standir 9
among their fellow members is Of
the highest order. They are on the
ground at Boise, where the laws
: are made, and probably understand
the situation thoroughly, and We
believe that in introducing the judi
icial bill they were prompted by
the highest and most patriotic mo-
tives.

FORM RAILWAY
COMMISSION
Canadian and u. S. Governments Get
Together in Control Of
Carriers
SEC. KNOX'S SUBMITS TREATY
Will be Represented to the Senate, and
the Present Session Of Congress

Secretary Knox has just given to
the public the report and joint re.
concentrations of the Canadian
and U. S. chiefs of the railroad
commissions on the proposal crea-
ton of the interstate commerce
commission. This report recon-
mends the creation of the Joint
commission between the two nation
the essential features of the report
being as follows:
ut is quite apparent that the ex-
listing laws of thr United States and
of Canada are inadequate for the
effective control of international
carriers as respects through rates
and the establishment of through
routes.
ITO accomplish the desired re-
suits treaty between the two coun-
tries would be preferable to con-
current legislation.
'This proposed treaty provides
for tribunal to enforce and adj
minister its provisions. to be known
as the international commission,
and which shall consist of four mem
bers, named the chairman of the
interstate conference commission
and the chief commissioners
Of the board of railway
commissioners OF Canada,
for the time being a Der of the
interstates, and a member of the
board Of railway commissioners
for Canada, to be appointed by The
governor general of Canada in
council. The powers conferred uI
on and authority given in respect
of international carriers would cor.
respond to the extent indicated tc
those excised by the interstate com
merce commission within the Uni
ted States.
international carriers by water
between the United states and Can.
ada should not be subjected to the
provisions of such a treaty except
when and to the extent that they
unite with rail carriers in either
country in forming through water
and rail or rail and water routes.
"The provisions of such treaty
should apply to telegraph, tele'
phone and express companies. an6
companies should be subject as re
spects their international business
to the authority of the commerc,
commission.
Two features of the proposed
treaty are notable. They proVid,
that claims for reparatlon shall no
be heard by the international com
MERGE commission and that tina
body shall not prosecute crimina
proceedings against shippers o
carriers.
1t is the purpose of Secretar,
Knox to submit the treaty to tn
senate at an early date, with re
commentator that it be ratified a
the present session of congress.

REV. J. J. SMITH SPOKEN OF
 FOR NEW HAVEN CHURCH.
One of Four Possible Successors to
 Rev. P. M. Kennedy.

It is now quite certain that within week after Easter Bishop Milan will name one of the priests. of the diocese to succeed the Rev. P. M. Kennedy as pastor of St. Francis church in Ferry street. New Haven, says the New Ha- ven Register. Father Kennedy has been very ill for about two years and Wednesday he was removed from the rectory to the residence of his niece, Mrs. Charles Hendrickson oh Norton street where he will make his home. Rev. D. F. Baker is still acting pastor at St. Francis church.
 The names of four priests have been heard as the ones most likely to sue ceed Father Kennedy. Rev. John G. Murray who has been chancellor of the diocese for about ten years, may be appointed. for it is said his experience would enable him to administer the affairs of this large parish very suc- cessfuily. Another priest, who was in fact the first one mentioned when it became known that Father Kennedy was to retire, was the Rev. Peter Mc- Clean, pastor of St. Marys church, of Milford.
 Rev. Thomas J. Preston, pastor at ThompsonvilIe, and New Haven boy is now the most strongly talked of as the most likely to be the next pastor of St. Francis. He was reared in St, Patrick's parish. Father Preston has been a very successful pastor at ThompsonvilIe and within year it is expected the church property there will be free from debt.
 The Rev. J. J. Smith of Norwich is also spoken of for the passionate.
