1t would gradually relieve this
eternal worry, anxiety, strife and
strain of every person, rich or poor,
who has a realizing sense of respon-
sibilities of life and a keen moral
sense of human rights.
A new conscience is being aroused
in the hearts and souls of men that
threatens to sweep many evils from
the land; thus harmonizing the in
dustrial affairs of society, SO as to
make this grand old world of ours
an ideal abiding place for all who
work with brain or Drawn to help
produce the wealth of the world.
And that mea0s Socialism-the
very next link in the chain of in
dustrial evolution-a new system of
civil government, the like of which
has never been invented by any
political genius that has ever posed
before the world for political honors
or public favors.
Yes, Socialism! A political and
industrial proposition that has been
under slow process of embodiment
from the time when the primitive
savage swung a club over his weaker
fellow, down to the present; from
the time. when man commenced try
ing to improve his methods of get
ting a living; and more especially
during the last century when thru
the wonderful scientific discoveries
and mechanical inventions of men
the wealth producing power of those
who work with brain or Drawn has
become hundred fold greater than
it was less than a century ago.
And now what should be done
with those great scientific discover
les and wealth neutrality-suspicious.?
Should they be so appropriated as
to constantly fill to overlooking the
vast Golfers of millionaires, while
the to'ling millions whose labor
produces that wealth are anxiously
struggling for existence, vast num-
bers of whom are living in state
of chronic starvation?
Socialism says: No, let us con-
struct new system of civil govern.
ment under which poverty and its
many resultant evils will be swept
from the land-a system under
which it will always be easy to do
right and always hard to do wrong.
There must be for human affairs
an order which is best. That order
is by no means always the existing
one, else why should we all desire
change in the latter? But it is the
order which ought to exist for the
greatest happiness of thehuman race.
God knows it and desires. 1t is for
man to discover and establish it

The Next Step in Evolution
f. NJ. watson in Chicago Daily socialist

|
One OF the most permanent con-
ditions that man has to deal with
is change. The material affairs of
human life, in obedience to natural
law, have been changing ard chang
ing from time immemorial, and the
end is not yet.
So long as man must have good
nutritious food; So long as man
must have nice comfortable clothing
and so long as man must have fine
| ly constructed and well furnished
| homes, all of which to make his
life satisfactory-to satisfy his ideals
of what good living is, that long he
will, as natural consequence, strive
| for them in accordance with his
strength and ability and in keeping
with the ever Observation-Disclosures
of life.
He will strive with a happy de-
termination when he feels assured
that with reasonable. amount of
honest productive labor he can Sc
cure full measure CT those require
mentS.
But he will naturally become dis
contented, unhappy and possibly
criminally desperate, if unfavorable
conditions or unjust restrictions are
placed in the way to make it I'M
duly hard for him to gain only a
partial supply of those requirements.
No power on earth can suppress
mans desire and determination to
gain a full measure of whatever. he
needs to satisfy his natural require
ments of life. 1t is a question of
self representation. 1t is Il question
of satisfying his ideals of what IA
good living is. 1t is {, 'stion of
peace, happiness and prosperity,
1t is question of enjoying the adj
vantages of truth, justice and right,
all in harmony with natural law,
and in keeping with the best possible
good for everybody.
A question like this, involving
the greatest possible good to human
ity, will necessarily press forward
to the front and persistentlv stand
there until it is settled right. And
this question of unrestricted Oppor-
tunity to get as good living as the
resources of nature offer; as good as
our up-to-date facilities for produc-
ing wealth can be made to accom-
plish; as the strength and ability of
man can procure, now stands out
before the world more prominently
than ever before, and is bound to
be settled right.
No matter how much one may
imagine that right adjustment of
human affairs might interfere with
his or her individual interests; that
adjustment would merely be a grad
ual change like emerging from the
dreary darkness of midnight to the
cheering brightness of a lovely NOR
ming.

literally true. People know that
you are in business, and they do
not give d--n. 1t is up to you to
make them sit up and take notice.
The only thing that they will be in
terested in is what you have to sell
and what the price of it is. They
don't know that, and they will be
interested if you will tell them of
the items in your constantly chang
ing stock.
Must Let People Know
The advertising problem that
confronts the country and small
town merchant is in many respects

ing a newspaper contract.
Remember, your space ism t

with something worth reading.
divide the advertising problem into
four parts, namely, mediums, copy,
merchandise and service.
Your medium, whatever it be,
must reach the people. Your copy
must convince them it is to their
advantage to trade with you, and
when they come your merchandise
and store service must back up the
ads in a way that will close a deal
to their satisfaction.
Local Paper First Medium
The country merchant can US
ually use several mediums to advan-
tage. First, there is his local paper,
Circulars you can use to excellent
advantage. Personal letters-these
reach the spot, perhaps, more dir
ectly than any other medium when
written with definite aim, convey
a business story that is worth while.
Outdoor advertising, consisting of
billboards, fence and barn signs, all
of which have their chief value
merely in keeping the people awake
to the fact that you are in business,
but these must be supplemented by
other forms of publicity or else your
people will get to be like the ones of
whom | spoke at first-they won't
give d--n.
Novelty calendars and such
things all have some value, but |
have neUSr yet been able to trace a
dollars worth of direct business
from them. | would advocate their
use sparingly, if at all.
/ consider the following abso-
lutely WORTHLESS for the coun-
try or city merchant and have for
years refused to use them or advise
others to use them: Programs,
menus, hotel registers and cards,
bulletins in hotels, church and So
cial affair programs, and, in fact,
the thousand and one schemes and
swindles presented by travelling ia
kris, who blow across the country,
clean up a stake and blow out.
You can accept this as absolute
ly true, under any and all circum
stances, an attempt to collect t0r aAOe,'-
tising in ad1unce Of its appearance is
prrma Jaeie evidenee Of intent to defiaua.
You won't miss it once in a thous-
and times.
Copy Must Be Truthful
Now, let us consider the copy.
l have already said copy must be
truthful. 1t is better to underesti-
mate than to overestimate the
strength of your offerings that those
who come may be surprised rather
than disappointed.
Now, a word about preparing
copy; don't make it side issue
and expect good results. You can't
wait until the last minute and dash
off anything and expect it to bring
results.
Give as much attention to your
advertising as you do to your buy
ing.
Ii you use the newspaper, have
a NEW ad EVERY issue. People
won't read stale ads any quicker
than they will stale news. Make
your headings tell the story in a few
words. Talk about your merchan-
disc, talk to the point, talk as tho
it was worth the price you ask for
for it, and don't ask any more than
it is worth.

Don't try to get funny. Separ-

Philadelphia is today the mecca for
host of commercial travellers who have
come from every section Of the United
States and Canada to attend the annual
convention of the American Travellers
Protective Association. a beneficial or
ganzation for the purpose of protecting
the interests Of travelling statesmen and
other travellers.
The "drummers' organizations of the
country include much larger number OF
men than is generally known. and there
is no trade or profession more misunder-
stood However much inclined to civic
duty and domestic life a man may be. the
fact that he is continually on the road
binders him from taking any active part
in the welfare of the community which
he calls home. as It also prevents him
from daily association with his family.
Comparatively few travelling men are able
to vote, consequently they have no voice
regarding the affairs of the town in
which they may claim residence or own
property.
One Of the matters to which the atten-
ton of the members Of the T. P. A. con-
vention will be called is an attempt to
secure the passage of legislation in all
the states permitting a travelling man to
vote in his own town without requiring
him to register some time in advance, as
the present laws demand. A bill max
ing a provision for the late registration
Of travelling men already is before the
Missouri legislature. 1t is said that in
one state more than 10000 travelling men
were deprived of their rights a. citizens
last year because their business did not
permit them to be at home in time to
register the required period before cleo
ton day. Many travelling statesmen are
patriotic enough to make some sacrifice
to enable them to be at home for election
day If they were permitted to vote. But
to most of them 1t would be impossible to
make an earlier trip to register.
