TOO MUCH HAMILTON.

All will agree that the giving OF a
governors message to the public well
in advance of the legislature, as Gov.
Cruce has done. is wise precedent
to establish Readers of the Democrat
should study it carefully and discuss
these recommendation with their rep
resentatives and suggest what they
want done.
The governor has run counter to his
party and to he common sense of the
people of the state in so many ways
that his recommendation will not be
received as favorably as they should
be or as they would under different
conditions.
The first thing that appeals to any
careful student of history is that Cruce
is disciple of Hamilton rather than
of jefferson. The Capitalization OF
power in the hands of few officers
locally and the giving of autocratic
power to the governor, for both OF
which he argues very plausibly, will
not appeal to the class of democrats
with which he will have to deal in
the legislature, nor back of them in
the state.
The abuse of power and the fayorit
/ ism which he has shown in allowing
the little eoterie of lawyers of which
his brother is one, to grab fat con
tracts and jobs and put over deals like
the sand and gravel deal and the leas-
ing of school lauds for oil purposes
the payment of "a $4,000 fee to his
brother in the matter of the men ar
rested for violating the grandfather
clause, in the way it was done, and
a lot more things viii cause the legis-
iilature to go very slow IN following
the Hamiitonian idea very far along
the lines the governor suggests
1t will be unfortunate If the many
excellent suggestions made in the way
of legislation for Law enforcement
should fail because of antagonisms
aroused in other ways, but this is very
likely to happen,
No state ever had two more con-
scienious or faithful officers than
State Treasurer Dunlop and Superin-
tendent Wilson The governor has
provoked a needless and inexcusable
scrap with them. He has antagonized
the state committee and now proposes
in his message To revolutionize things
generally in school and other matters.
These and other antagonisms will
be pretty certain 10 arouse opposition
which viii make it difficult to get even
the good that should come from the
many excellent suggestions made.
1t is openly charged BY some that
the governor has antagonized. that he
has been influenced to do this by GER
tain ones personally interested IN the
outcome of things done and to be done,
and that his acts are indefensible and
explairable on no other ground.
If the opposition the governor has
provoked unites. as it is likely to do,

Mail order business is that depart
ment of business whereby. through the
medium of advertising, merchandise
is sold direct to the consumer by mail.
This business has grown in leaps and
bounds. Why? Because the local
merchant does not keep pace with the
increasing demands of an increasing
population.
The five big mail order houses OF
Chicago receive on an average of 250,-
600 orders day And this enormous
business comes from communities
whose natural trade belongs to the
local merchant. The local merchant
must make more effort to hold his bus
mess and get new business of the big
concerns will make greater inroads.
He must beat the mail order houses
at their own game He can do this by
Handling honest goods at honest prices
and telling about the goods in such a
way people viii believe him. Fault
finding or appealing to local pride is
of no avail
1t is the careful, systematic. elabo-
rate and half-truthful description in
mail order advertising that has built
i up the big mail order business. If the
local merchant will be careful, sys-
tematic, elaborate and truthful in all
his local advertising he will win. The
advertiser who is truthful will. in the
end, get the business.
The public can never know what a
merchant has to sell unless he tells
about it. There is no better friend of
the merchant and no better means of
publicity than the local paper. Every
merchant who carries on a systematic
advertising campaign in his local pa
per. properly and honestly describing
what he has for sale. will find his bus
mess in no way affected BY mail order
