A WISE DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court
has done the sensible thing in refusing
to annul the initiative and referendum
law of Oregon. In effect the Court
says that as it is legislative and not 2

to the law and want it repealed must
seek the remedy in Congress. The
many people who felt that the Supreme
Court in reading the word reasonable"

had usurped to itself legislative func-
tiOns, will be especially gratifed by the
decision in the Oregon case. That de-
cision will probably end all efforts in
that State to repeal the law, and it is
not likely that in the other States, which
have the initiative and referendum. the
constitutional question will now be
raised.
The attack on these laws as being
unrepresentative in their character is
due mostly to too limited idea as to
what constitutes a representative and
republican form of government. AS a
matter of fact all government that is
anti-monarchical and anti-oligarchical
in character is republican and represent
alive.
The initiative and referendum are not
designed by their advocates to replace
or lessen representative government
but to make it more effective. AS for
the referendum it has been in use in
many States for long time and in
some of them no amendment can be
made to the constitution except by q
recourse to it.

Not Theory, But History.

The republicans believe in the princi-
pie and policy of protection and make
tariff schedules not merely for revenue.
but primarily to protect American labor
and American capital, believing that
such protection, though it may enrich a
few, will insure prosperity for the mass
es. That has been the result of Ameri-
can tariff laws, while depression. low
wages, idleness of workingmen and me-
chanics, Improbable prices for farm
products, closed mills and factories and
languishing business in all lines have re-
suited from democratic tariff bills. This
is not a theory, but a matter of history

The Home Merchant and Mail Order Houses

The mail order house is constantly
hammering away on low prices, saving
money for its patrons, etc. But are the
merchants of this town doing likewise7
The campaign of the mail order houses
has convinced thousands of country peo-
pie that they can buy more cheapIy bv
mail than at home and they get millions
of dollars in orders in return.
To get these orders the mail order
houses have overcome tremendous oh
stacles-obstacles that are not in the
way of the home dealer at all Yet
they have persisted in advertising, adj
vertising, advertising low prices and
money saving, while the local dealer has
with more or less, perhaps less, calm
ness permitted trade that by all the
laws of commerce is his, slip from his
grasp.
One phase of this situation, if it were
not pathetic, would be ludicrous: the
mail order house is using to get this
trade medium-the local newspaper-
that is thousand times more effective
for the local dealer If he would but use
it. The mail order house must adver-
tise catalog; the local dealer can adj |
vertise specific articles. The buyer bv
mail can not see the thing he would buy
for weeks after he has paid bis money;
the home buyer sees the item before he
buys it and gets it as soon as he paws
for it. MoreOver-and this is the most
important fact of all-he has an oppor-
tunity to compare different grades of

Why This Democratic Confusion?
Washing ION p Jst.

The announcement of the candidacy
of Col. Roosevelt seems to have carried
hesitation and doubt into the camp of
the Democracy as much as it has done
into that of the Republican party.
Why this talk of change of date of
the holding OF the Democratic national
convention?
Why this sugg estion of the advisable
ity of having logger time sitter the NOM
instion by the Republican party of its
candidate before the Democratic party
names its leader for the campaign?
Have the Democratic leaders in mind
the nomination of one Democrat to op-
pose President Taft for reelection and
different person 10 head the ticket
against Col. Roosevelt in the event that
he is the nominee?
Ii Col. Roosevelt is not looming lar
ger as candidate than those leaders
publicly acknowledge, why do they wish
the date of holding the convention set
later than now arranged?
"NAAN oCCAh Nndl THESE democrats
no longer regard the denomination of
President Taft assured, and they desire
time to prepare their party for another
alignment, for different candidate in
case the Colonel becomes the standard
bearer of the Republican party.
Col. Roosevelt is surely showing his
power as politician when he cleaves
his own party in two by q mere state
ment that he will accept the nomination
If it is rendered to him, and halts the
Democratic organization for a council

with his hat in the ring and he following

attention of the people Of the entire
Union and called those in power and

his influence with the electorate of the

THURSDAY. MARCH Z, 1912.
A LOOK AHEAD.

On the first of the year some of the
advertisers of this city withdrew their
patronage from the local papers. This
course, If persisted in, would be seri-
Gus blow at the press of our little city,
for it is well known that no paper can
be run on its subscription list alone. The
price of the paper hardly pays for the
material and labor necessary to publish
it-with no margin of profit for rent,
taxes, insurance, depreciation, editors
salary, lights, fuel, and the numerous
items that keep the editors poor.
Several courses are open to the papers
of Tazewell. They might reduce the
size and quality of the papers they are
now giving their subscribers, but Meth
er would wish to do this, for by hard
work they have reached the rank of
top-notchers, not only among the papers
Of the state, but of the entire country,
and neither would want to drop from
the standard they now maintain.
They could move to another city where
the merchants realize that advertising
is craftsmanship, and craftsmanship of
the best kind; for whereas, the highest
salaried salesman you may employ can
only see from twenty to one hundred
people a week to tell them of the goods
you have on your shelves, a county
newspaper will reach thousands. Other
locations then might be the solution,
but both the local papers are tied by
personal bonds that would make a
change of location undesirable.
There remains then foreign advertis-
ing to take the place of that lost by the
local merchants quitting. This has new
er been encouraged where it would COM
pete with local merchants; and, in fact,
this paper has in the past year refused
three advertising contracts with west
ern railroads and land companies. be-
cause they would have interfered with
the back home" movement of the
southland.
There is no question, however, that
the next few years will be prosperous
ones in this county. None of our pres
ent market is leaving US, and the build
ing of the new highways means the re-
leasing of much money to be spent for
luxures and the necessities within our
county and town, and if wide awake,
our merchants will reap the benefits of
the increased industrial activity here,
and if they do not there is no question
but that the enterprising merchants OF
the neighboring cities, seeing a good
market neglected, will be glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity to adver-
tise in the papers of Tazewell to present
their goods to the consumers here, and
will reap the cream of the trade.
There is 10 denying that the with
drawal of this home advertising has
hurt the local papers for the first quar-
ter of the current year, but look ahead
shows there must be an improvement In
the situation. With some road contracts
already let and work On other roads to
be started soon, either by contract or
force account, there will be good mar
ket for the enterprising merchant who
advertises. Then the local papers will
come into their own.
