"The People Pay For All Premiums
and Never Accept Trading Stamps"

The above remark was made at little So
cial gathering the other night by one Of the
best known housekeepers in the city.
The following day lady of keen discern
ment travelled twenty miles to shop with us
and after spending a large sum with u.s.
sh piping in every department, told the writ
er that her husband had requested that she
confine her trading to this house---because
we give no premiums-no trading stamps,
and he felt he paid for nothing but merchan-
disc when he shopped here.
These two striking remarks caused us to
investigate the premium and trading stamp
| cost to the customer and see just what the
| customer gets in return for the tremendous
additional cot of what legislatures in some
states have termed parasites on honest wage
earners"
The argument" that the public does not
pay for stamps is childish. The cost OF stamps
is added to the expense account which must
| be taken care of by the profits on merchan-
disc Expense Of advertising, lights salar-
! les, &c are recognized as necessary in the
conduct of legitimate business. These have
| grown enormously in recent years, forcing
! merchants to increase the profits on their
wares in keeping with increase in advertis
| ing rates, rents salaries and other items of
expense. When merchants add the enorm-
| Gus increase of 8 per cent, to their expense
are forcing their customers to pay for some
thing that is of no benefit to anyone except
the Trading Stamp Companies. The mer-
chant pays % to per cent or $3.50 or $500
for each 500 in stamps The premium"
store gives back about two dollars worth of
deceptive merchandise for the 500 worth of
stamps The redemption" store gives 81 90
in merchandise at trading stamp prices, for
the 500 worth of stamps The Trading
Stamp Companies make profits of 75c to 81
on each 500 worth of stamps that are dis
tributed by merchants.
The Trading Stamp business has been con
demned by the Legislature of a number of
States, but the courts, while admitting the
righteousness of the scheme have decided
that it is within the law!'
We are assured by hundreds of customers
that they prefer to buy merchandise in the
full confidence that it is sold at its legitimate
commercial value, and we will continue our
policy of twenty-five years of selling goods
at the lowest possible prices consistent with
our high standard of quality.

HAS Deen acC1ng very much like can
didates for the insane asylum, and it
is sorry fact, to have to recognize
the tendency of the American wom-
an, with advanced ideas, in the
same direction.
The memory of the Washington
spectacle will not soon fade, and,
while public sympathy is more or
less enlisted in behalf Of the indi-
vidual women who had to brave in
suit, while endeavoring to parade
through the streets of the Nations
capital, it has rot strengthened the
following, nor drawn recruits from
the women who have been passive
in their attitude.
A letter came postmarked Indian
apolis, Ind, to The Jeffersonian per-
son who conducts this page, and it
began "You damned fool; you
damned reactionary," and went on
to give the writer's views as to the
attitude of The Jefersonial person,
in the matter Of objection to Woman
Suffrage.
The letter was, of course, anony-
nous (the writer evidently was ia
miliar with the Postal regulations,
folks Out), and it was signed "a
woman"
There isn't any use trying to ar
que with cat after you have re-
fused to give her the canary bird
she has Ionged for. The longing for
the bird isn't lessened, and you can't
make the cat understand that the
birds mission in life was not as a
stufing for cats. This isn't sup
posed to be ltgic, at all; it is simply
one WOman's way of saying that the
Suffrag ettes-the rampant, crazy,
ignorant, unreasonable, unbalanced,
unWomanly (if there are any I'M
anything else, tack them ON wom-
en- are acting like SO many cats.
An argument used in this anony-
nous letter was that 'eighty per
cent of the criminal operations per-
formed upon women" we're made
necessary by the immortality of the
male person, man.
True: but what about the moral
standard of those women on whom
those operations were performed?
Not so long ago, an Atlanta (Ga.)
man threw his hat at this Jefferso-
mans head, in behalf of his sisters
who are hungering to get out and
hove barbecues, bonfires, torchlight
parades, cart-tail speeches and all
the other fun, in behalf of "Our Can
didate," and he thought he had
muzzled us for good and all by his
arguments (?).
But he hadn't; we we're only wait
ing to get our breath, and now we've
got it.
The true, woman's woman, the
woman God made, can get so much
he ppiness, so much comfort, so
much joy, out Of being the wife of
good man and the mother of his
children, she wouldn't give a nickle
with hole in it, for all the ballot
boxes in creation.
If she has been blessed with a
mother of that sort, and the right
kind of father, the memories of her
home are such as to make her want
to build another, exactly like it,
There are some women whom
God cursed with the ability to make

the brains of q man, and the form

knowledge of some of the candidates
whom "the peepuI" are asked to
choose as leader, representative
or a ruler-THAT woman's opinion
of the ballot will be a cipher, multi
piled by another.
1t women would look to our pub
lie school system which is turning
out half-baked youths who deyeIon
into mediocre men, and girls with
a smattering of a dozen things that
will not teach them a thing God
meant them to know; if they would
count preachers who teach, and not
those who crate; if they would see
to it that the men with whom their
opinions bear Weight-fathers nus
bands, brothers, sweethearts-wer
posted on the personality behind the
political ambition of those they Sc
lect as candidates, they would find
that woman's influence would be as
Weighty as it was meant always the
influence Of the good woman should
be.
We hear a deal of the drudgery
of the home life which has been
WOman's lot.
In view of the poignant dis
appointment most of the advance
guard of Suffragettes have had to
suffer, to this woman at a desk. the
rattle Of dishes, the singing Of a
tea-kettle, and the crying of a baby
seem far more attractive than the
blare OF brass band, the jibes Of a
crowd IN hall or street and the rattle
of policeman's club.
When Man has purified the ballot
box; when he has made the Popular
Vote thing free of the faint of the
dollar mark, he will have accomp-
Hshed what some of the misguided,
Wotully ignorant, though thoroughly
honest Suffragette (and there's
quite few of herr hope they may
accomplish with the ballot.
But, as Mr. F's aunt said of the
