About year ago ! went into a lit

an article that cost me II cents when

my want known the merchant said
that he had never kept the article, al

me for calling his attention to It. He
supposed that would not do me any
good. but he would get 1t, for some
one else might ask for it,
Il did not call again for several days,

LYING BAD IN BUSINESS.
Merchant Will Find That Deception In
Trade . Harmful.


Among the steps of progress to be
recorded in our young national career
are the increased honesty and dimin-
ished dishonesty Of commercial ad-
vertislng. The change is perhaps most
noticeable in that hybrid and amphibi-
GUS trade of dry goods" The public
is now quite used to seeing the sale of
such wares announced in fairly plain
terms. without spurious allurements of
euphemism or eulogy. whereas twen-
ty or thirty years ago lying was
thought to be matter Of common
sense by shopkeepers who advertised

Meanwhile the pleasing improvement
in dry goods" advertising has reach
ed the remarkable degree of at least
one merchant setting forth the rela
tive advantages and disadvantages of
two articles offered to the public. This

moisture do not escape. this accumula-

new thing for trader to pay money

to a convention in Washington
this week with the view Of efecting an
organization OF business men which

Il the sequel to a message Of the pres
ident submitted to congress in Decem-
her, in which it was suggested that Of
ficials OF the department of commerce
and labor and members Of certain
congressional committees might be
made members ex OfficiO. A state
ment issued by the president said:
such an organization would give to
ths government the opportunity to con-
salt the business world on all prob
lens Of trade supremacy. 1t would af-
ford cooperation in the expansion Of
commerce ut home and abroad and
would provide means by which gov
ernment officers charged with the en-
forcement Of laws could become ac-
Quainted with the complexities which
surround their administration in the
bu&iness world. Further than that,
congress in framing new statutes af-
fecting trade and commerce would
have first hand advice Of an official
nature"
In some respects the plan would not
be unlike Germany's system Of coop
Grafton with boards Of trade through
out the German states.

posed national board Of trade be such

CONGRESS ADJOURNMENT

Various reasons have been advanced
why there should Ike an early adjourn

aspects Of the question. While some
Democrats have been contending that

have held that it will influence the

THE WIRELESS TREATY

sulting from the Berlin convention Of
1906 has been heard from again in
Washington. At the Berlin convention
the American delegates took full part
in the proceedings, but because Of
their construction of their authority
under the Instructions they did not
sign the agreement made, and further
delay resulted from the senate leaders.
The opposition to the treaty has
came from interests engaged in the
business Of selling apparatus for wire
Germs and amateurs.
The American delegates to Berlin
materially assisted in carrying to a
successful issue the following princi-
pies:
'First.-The principle that calls of
ships In distress should have priority
of transmission over all other wireless
messages.
"Second.-That coast stations and
seagoing ships installed with wireless
apparatus should be compelled to ac-
cept and practice the principle Of in
accommodation with shore stations
and seagoing ships provided with ap-
| paratus of n different system.
"Third.-That it was we'll within the
province Of the international agree
ment to regulate the toll or fare Of ex-
/ change Of radio-telegrams.
| "Fourth.-That government business
should have priority Of call under GER
tain contingencies. 1t was along hu-
manitarian lines that our delegates
contended that at certain periods of
each day the commercial exchange of
radio-telegrams should cease for brief
intervals in order that shipping on the
high seas might be furnished with
information regarding approaching
storms, position Of floating derelicts,
impairments to important coast lights
and the exact noon time at Washing

The next convention will be held in

hended simultaneous advance into

The mountainous character Of the

impossible.
