To BUILD AN
EXCLUSIVE HOME

The Elks decided, at their meeting
Tuesday evening, that they would
build an exclusive home. A commit
tee composed of Otto Roenius, Tom
Taylor, A B. Sutor, w. J. Conway
and G.. A. Normington was appointed
to look up and get prices on sites.
Any one who has a good site in Or
near the business district of the city
should inform a member of this com
mittee and the place will be consid
cred. The committee will make it's
report at the next regular meeting.
The Elks expect to have 10 or 20
sites to select from. Building opera
tons will be commenced in the early
spring provided a desirable site is
obtained. The Elks are to be con-
graduated upon their determination
to build an exclusive home. That this
home viii be handsome and complete
and a building of which, not only the
Elks, but every citizen of Grand Rap
ids may feel proud, goes without say
ing as the Elks of Grand Rapids have
reputation fer doing things right
when they start. Nothing is too
good for the Best People On Earth.

COUNTY
ORANGES WERE
NOT INJURED
(From A, E. Falch's Paper.)

]. A. Livingston of the Placer Coun-
ty Land company, who owns an or
range grove in Mt. Pleasant district,
about six miles northwest from this
city, brought to town a sack full of
naval oranges which he picked from
trees on his place and the orange or
chard of ]. n. Hawk, his neighbor
These oranges We're on the trees all
through the cold snap, without proteC
ton of any sort (smudge pots are
unknown in the citrus district OF
Placer county, and an examination
of the oranges proved them to be abb
solutely uninjured in any way
The exterior of the oranges shows
no blemish, and on being cut the
juice runs freely, and the texture OF
the flesh has the appearance of oran-
ges fully matured under the most fav
orabIe conditions.
Although most of the oranges in
Placer We're harvested before the
cold wave, in fact Placer County or
anges are on the market by the middle
Of December, several OF the growers
allow the fruit to remain on the trees
until late in the season for the local
market supply, and it was thought
that these oranges were frosted, but
such is not the case.
Livingston's grove is about 500

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE, THE
PARCELS POST AND THE
COUNTRY MERCHANT.

There is a false impression being
chant regarding the effect the new
parcels post law will have on his
business. The small town merchant
fears that with this new means of
quick and cheaper transportation,
the mail order houses will wipe out
the country stores. The fact of the
matter is that if the country merchant
will take advantage of the opportunity
that the parcels post offers HIM, he
will be able to put the mail order
houses out of business in so far as
HIS particular territory is concern
ed, or if he does not put them out
of business, he will at least get more
business for himself and that bust
ness will be what he is now ALLOW
ING the mail order houses to get.
The mail order house is a modern
successful business institution. The
prosperity of the small town mer-
chant cannot be solved by opposing
modern successful methods" He
must Appropriate the modern meth
eds for his own use and work WITH
it. Nc mail order house can succeed
in a community as we'll as the To-
cal merchant, provided that the To-
cal merchant plans his business as
iutelligently and economically as is
Iyr n
The mail order house HAS had the
advantage in buying and distri buting.
Manufa cturers have been COMPELL-
ED o deal through jobbers and mail
order houses. They could not reach
the consumer DIRECT. With the com
ing OF the parcels post, all this is
changed. Now, the manufacturer with
the aid of the country merchant and
newspaper will be able to deal direct
ly with the consumer and the great
mail order houses will find that they
have REAL competition. OF course
NJ small town merchant can carry
the enormous stock carried by the
big mail order ohuses, and being
unable to carry the stock, under
the OLD system, he could not de-
liver it. The mail order house HAS
mad the advantage of sending their
goods by freight at a low price. For
example if the farmer ordered some
hing light that did not make it worth
Wh,> to ship by freight or express
he -reased his order by adding
something or things that would bring
the weight up to the minimum re
gu &c by the mail order house, there

by getting the goods delivered at a
very small cost Under the parcels
post, the light articles can be ship
ped at a very slight charge. With
the parcels post working, the mer-
chant can have his CATALOGUES
instead of a great stock. The manu-
factrers by advertising through the
local paper can create trade for the
local merchant The merchant will
have the catalog- He will be the a
gent. He will be on the spot
KNOWING THE CUSTOMERS. He
will know the quality Of the goods
HE Will be there to be questioned and
to answer if the goods are not sat
isfactory. The customer will come
to him and gladly give his order and
the dealer will make his profit, as
he should make it. The merchant
will have the goods shipped direct
from the manufactures TO HIS OWN
INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS. and the
country merchant can have the goods
sent if he chooses through the par
GELS post, with his own name fast
ened upon the parcel
To sum up, the merchant in the
small towns, can be, if he chooses
as big and as complete a merchant
in his own community as any mail
order house in the WORLD. The
merchant can take advantage of the
parcels post to combat the mail orde1
house as he has never been able to
combat it before. Every single ar
ticle sold by mail order houses is sold
through the medium of advertising.
The mail order houses KNOW the val
ue of advertising. Let the country
merchant, the merchant in the small
towns and cities make arrangements
with the manufacturers HE buys from
to have them conduct an advertising
campaign for THEIR benefit as we'll
as his own. This IS the country meI
chants opportunity, will he grasp it,
or Will he stay in the old, fear OF
the mail order house rut" without an
effort to better himself" Another
article on this subject will appear
in an early issue.

that prices will go not lower.

that prices will go not lower.
The spread of the irrigation move
ment, the cutting up of Indian reser-
yations and the parceling out of rail
road lands, have dealt so heavy a
blow to cattle raising in the North
west and Southwest, that the Ameri-
can people will be extremely lucky
il beef even remains as low as the
present high prices.
Eastern farm papers are urging the
readers TO do their farm work with OK
en- instead Of horses. Their argu-
ments sounds good. The OK not merely
pulls the farmers cart, but he is sal
able for meat. Phlegmatic by nature
he does not stand or his hind legs,
nor does he attempt to climb a
tall tree merely because the cart
hits a rock OF tree stump.
But the horse viii remain the chief
burden bearer of the Eastern farmer,
as he has been for 25 years. The ole
time farm family which used oxen 10
dts farm work, was satisfied to go to
bed after the slow, patient steers
had been fed their evening ration.

RESOLUTIONS
INTRODUCED

MADISON, Wis. Jan. Ex-senator
Paul Husting, of Mayville, has in
troduced a joint resolution providing
for a consti tutional amendment by
which state may appropriate money
to buy and deyelope water power sites
and forest reserves. The resolution
limits the appropriation to two-tenths
Of a mill on the value of the taxable
property of the state.
Senator J. NJ True, of Baraboo, in

wardens be empowered to deliver adj
dresses to farmers gathering on the
value of certain birds and animals.

TWO VIEWS OF IMPEACHMENT.

The conviction of Judge Robert w.
Archibald of the Commerce Court is
only the third case of successful inn
peachment proceedings in the United
States in a period Of 124 years.
A method of reaching public Off
Gals that only wins once I'M 40 years
is of course not efficient. Probably
one great reason for this failure has
been the older view of the nature OF
impeachment proceedings.
The only impeachable offences by
the constitution are treason, bribery
and other high crimes and misde-
meancrs." During the formation of
the constitution there was strong
effort made to broaden the ground
for such removal.
Amendments were introduced that
would have permitted removal for
malpractice and neglect of duty
or for ''maladmimistration. Both
these amendments were beaten. Jane
Madison spoke against one of them
ON the ground that it would create
tenure of office at the will of the
Senate"
The difference Of opinion thus dis
closed has persisted to the present
day. One school of constitutional law
yers has argued that Impeachment is
possible only for such crimes as one
could be criminally indicted for. O.
| theirs have placed more elastic IN
depreciation thereon, and have held
that it applied to a wide rang OF
action detrimental to the essential
principles of government This idea
has been recognized in the constitu-
lions of many of the states, but not
| in the United States constitution.
The overwhelming vote against Are
bold suggests a general recognition
that the old view of impeachment is
out of date Conspicuous unfitness
and unsuitability may exist even If
man has not broken even a bylaw
of a cemetery corporation. A few
years ago many Of the senators would
have required evidence that would
put a man behind the bars.

GET THE STATE FAIR-THEN
TAKE GOOD CARE OF 1T.

The letter to Mayor Joseph A.
Cohen, from Senator Monk publish
ed in Thursdays edition of the Daily
Reporter seems to have aroused a lot
of talk pro and con regarding the
chances Of the state fair coming to
Grand Rapids. While all agree it
would be mighty good thing for the
city, give US lot of worth Will eadr
yertising, still there are a lot of peo-
pie who are so conservative that they
are afraid we couldn't handle it. 1t
is just these afraid TO make an eff
fort people, that have been the cause
of this city's slow growth. This NOV
ment towards getting the state fair
is going to tshow up" as nothing has
ever done before, who are the boos-
ters and who are the knockers. The
boosters say, GO after it even if We
don't get it. 1t will give us a lot Of
healthy advertising and let the state
know where we are" The knockers
say, whats the use, we couldn't
get it anyway; We couldn't take care
of it if we did get it; it means lots
Of hard work Of course if we don
go after it or anything else, We won't
get it or anything else; if we don't
TRY, we can't take care of it fl We
do get it; everything that is worth
having means hard work and there
are a group Of men in hits town who
are ready to SACRIFICE a little of
THEIR time for the GOOD OF THE
CITY.
Mayor Cohen said he would give
81 900 towards getting the fair here

WARNING LABOR AND CAPITAL

WARNING LABOR AND CAPITAL
Without further discussion of the
sentence imposed ON the dynamite
comspirators, or without stopping to
deplore the awful crimes in which
they are convicted of having a share,
the question may we'll be asked at
this time what can be done to bring
peace into the armed camp OF mod
ern industrialism.
The American people are not in a
position to lecture Europe ON the fol-
" of militarism, when in so many OF
their industries the strike breaker
and the rioter impose burdens equal
ly vexing and costly
How can the bitter anger be re
moved from the heart of the working
man as seen in so many employ
ments? Jail sentences may intimi-
date the most violent, but as long
as this spirit of anger remains, brick
cannot be laid nor can iron be cast
efficiently.
In the old days when the employer
lived personally among his men, call
ing many of them by name, some by
their first Names the problem was
easy To-day the employer is COM
monty some impersonal holder of a
heap of stock certificates in safe
deposit box 1000 miles away. Not
much room for friendship or mutual
adjustment there
And yet, even in this day of great
industry, there are thousands and
thousands of large factory towns wher
there seems TO be a good degree of
peace between employer and employ
ed.
Let the workingaman remember thai
strikes are not won by dynamite.
Capital Will pull it's money out of mills
and put them into government bonds
before It will give up to the gun in
the face
On the other hand, let the capital
ist remember that never again can
a big business go on TO large success
without making positive, consistent
efforts toward improving the living
conditions of its men.
