In proposing an amendment TO the
constitution recalling presidents, SEN
ator Bristow of Kansas, is either a
bold, bad man or he is a wag. If
a recall had been in operation in 1910
Mr.. Taft would have been thrust out
of office, but probably that would
have been to the Kansas senator's
liking. Had there been such prcpo-

been retired in 1894, and the silver
men of both parties would have had
revenge upon him for taking hold OF
a congress which wanted more silver
and compelling it to stop silver pur-

have been turned out in 1890 for sign
ing the Mckinley tariff, while for
one reason or another, or for no -ea-
son, Arthur in 1884, would have been
forced to walk the plank. at is evil
dent that the people are not enthusi-
astically in favor of this administra-

The CONTESTANT for Barela's seat

These baskets sell for 81 each, and sell so
readily he cannot find supplies enough for
his customers.
He has made such an enviable reputation
for quality and honesty with his basket trade,
that many mail orders for staple articles
come to his village store from the county
seat.
In a little Ohio community village mer-
chant draws customers from miles around
from other stores because he marks all OF
his goods in plain figures, both the selling
price and the cost of each article. II a pair
of suspenders costs him 1T1s cents and he
expects 25 cents in return, both figures appear
on the price tag. This Is true OF all Of his
stock. He makes business proposition of
being ION the level" with his customers.
Some advertising literature he puts out ex-
plains his system: Merchants are not in
business for their health. They all make
profit. and in most cases the customer doesn't
know whether the profit is fair or exorbitant.
I'm on the square with my customers.
must have profit to live, but every man has
a right to know II he is being gouged. l
show him both sides in plain figures, and II
he thinks I'm making too much Pll have to
stand 1t, that's all"
The effect of this campaign has lifted his
store out of business obscurity and gained
