ness, and the village merchant has
it in his power to capture much of
this business in his locality by going
after this trade in a systematic way.
The local papers will serve in place
of catalogs in a great measure, and
he can inform country patrons of
the advantage he offers in competi-
ton with mail order houses in quail
ity of goods, time of delivery, and
in many localities the telephone can
be utilized to solicit trade and receive
orders. He must satisfy these Gus
toners by the "money-back" plan, as
a guarantee of satisfaction, but he
may uphold the cash with order"
system. In this great northwest the
mail order houses are SO far distant
that the village merchant has a dis
tinctive advantage, if he grasps the
opportunity at once, prepares for sat
isfying the wants of the country pa
tron and solicits the business, but
he may rest assured that the mail
order houses will not be idle in the
meantime. The old established houses
will open branches nearer the points
CT delivery, new concerns will spring
into being with astonishing rapidity,
and the field will be worked as new
er before. but the spoils belong to
the vigiIant.
The standard of living of the coun-
try patron is constantly rising, and
he is no longer satisfied with the
quality that a few years ago escaped
his attention when prices were the
only consideration that drew his no.
tice and captured his trade.
The village merchant must adver-
tfse for business, solicit business,
show quality of goods, guarantee sat
isfaction, save customers time and
get busy at once.-West Coast Trade.

Wilson versus Smith In New Jersey

A clear line between Governor viii.
son progressives and Jim" Smith re.
dictionaries was drawn last week in
the Democratic caucus for Speaker
Of the House in the New Jersey legis-
lature. 1t is in favor Of the Jim"
Smiths. but by narrow margin. The
candidate representing Wilson poll
cies was Charles O'Connor Hennessy,
a Democrat who is so much more de-
mocratic than the regular brand that
at the polls he draws more democrats
of other parties to him than he drives
away reactionaries of his own par
ty. He was defeated by only votes
in a caucus vote of 51-26 for Tay-
lor, % for Hennessy, and for Hol-
combe. 1t seems that Mr.. Hennessy
could have been elected by making a
"Jim" Smith deal but wouldn't make
it. The Bergen News vouches for the
truth of that highly probable infer
ence. Having the prize within his
grasp" says the News of the 4th,
"by acquiescence in the demands of
most obnoxious and discredited
boss, Mr.. Hennessy spurned the hon
or which must thus be bought with
the faint of sacrifice of principle"
The News adds this sensible COM
ment: "His friends and admirers can
glory more in his defeat under these
circumstances than in his success at
| the dictation of the Interests from
which the hard work of Governor
Wilson and the independent Demo
Gratis have wrested control" Allied
with the "Jim" Smiths were the Ii.
quor interests of the state, of course;
for had not Mr.. Hennessy stood
against them and for local option in
the last legislature? One New Jersey
paper wonders if this "Jim" Smith vic
tory may not be the beginning of par
ty difference that will put Democrats
| in New Jersey somewhat in the same
position as that now occupied by the
Republicans and Progressives on the
other side of the political fence?" Let
all Democratic Democrats hope so.
The body of that political death
which "Jim" Smith typifies in New
Jersey is a grievous burden for the
Democratic party to bear.
