A Word to
"The Storekeeper."

The manufacturer who tries
to help you sell his goods after
he has induced you to stock up
on his line deserves your
hearty cooperation.
But it is up to you to decide
whether the manufacturer IL
actually helping you, or wheth-
er he only thinks he Is.
If he is creating desire for
his product without creating an
actual demand on your store
for 1t, his help is of little value
to you.
The one big advantage of
newspaper advertising is that it
creates not only desire, but ac-
tual demand. Most other medi-
ums stop at desire.
The best kind OF advertising
that a manufacturer can do for
your benefit is local newspaper
advertising. Tell his statesmen
SO next time they come around.
Show them that you know by
experience the value of newspa-
per advertising, and that you
want all the branded goods you
handled advertised in way
that will bring customers to
your store to ask for them.

HUEK1A THE HERO.

The expected has happened in Mex
people toward President Huerta. The
message of President Wilson is re-
ported to have crystalized sentiment
in favor of the Huerta administra-
ton and to have strengthened it with
the people of Mexico.
This is what happens regularly in
any country when an outside people
attempt to do the people service.
1t is what happened in Cuba and it
is what will happen in Mexico. In
Cuba, for example, the people of the
United States are regarded with i'll
concealed disdain. The reason is that
the United States spend its blood and
treasury in liberating the people of
Cuba from Spanish rule and in max
ing that country healthy and prosper
Gus. To the Cuban mind, Americans
assumed the role of conquerors, par
ticularly when they went into that
country for second time to bring
order out of chaos. Only last spring,
when the new president was inaugu-
rated in Cuba, the newspapers of that
country were making much of the
fact that this was the first presi-
dent inaugurated in Cuba who had
been really elected by the people of
that country without the interefer-
ence of the United States.
And so we believe it will be in Mex
leo. The attempt to remove or dis
pose Huerta will cement the Mex
leans to him as nothing else will.
1t may even stop revolutions for a
while and make him popular hero.
The people of these southern coun-
tries resent the interference of the
United States. They are suspicious
OF this country, however philanthropic
its Intentions would be. The one thing
to bring them together would be the
intervention of the United States and
they would fight viciously against the
northern usurpers."
The United States will have agreat
deal of trouble for its pains. In the
role of an international philanthropist
1t will have much of trouble and
strife and it will find itself in much
the condition of man who inter-
feres in quarrel between husband
and wife--it will get hammered from
both sides of the house. The good
Samaritan either in public or private
life does not often receive reward
in accordance with its merits.-Colo.

STATE LEGISLATURES

The suggestion of Governor Hunt
of Arizona that state legislatures as
now existing be superseded by less
unwieldly body composed of from Is
to 25 members, all sitting in one as
sembly, is worthy of consideration.
1t is generally accepted as an axiom
that our legislatures are ineffective
as well as expensive. They spend at
least three-fourths of the session in
playing petty politics of schoolboy
kind. Not till the last few weeks
do they get down to business. Bills
are then hurried out of committee
and during the last ten days rushed
through in frantic haste. Petty local
politics and wire pulling play far too
important part.
The plan proposed by Governor
Hunt may not be the best solution of
the question, but it would at least
have the merit of economy and SIM
plicity. An assembly of 90 well in
formed men sitting in one body would
eliminate a great deal of waste in
the matter of clerks and attendants.
1t could have no excuse for the dila-
tory tactics that really make the first
two months of every legislative gath
ering an almost total loss. Business
could be put through with far great
er facility and thoroughness. Funda-
mental objections to such plan may
exist, but on the face of it some
state might with profit try out such
a scheme for the elimination of the
red tape and petty politics which in
terfere with legislative efficiency

airy are booming. In Canadian pri-

harvest is confidently predicted. The
suggestion that Mr.. Thaw become a
Canadian landholder in order to frus-
trate deportation has mobilized an
army OF real estate agents who have
been idle since the slackening of the
boom in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Because of Mr.. Thaw's announced in

automobile industry, the florist in

COOPERATION: DREABS AND
REALITIES.

Earl Grey, the former governor
general of Canada, is a stanch advo-
cate of profit-sharing and coopera-
tion in various forms. He indulged
in no glittering generalities when he
told the Congress of the Cooperative
Alliance, in session at Glasgow, that
the future commonwealth would be
based on cooperation rather than on
socialism with its compulsory fea-
lures or on competition. In his view
of the future he is at one with many
progressive sociologists and econo-
mists.
But the average man has an in
tensely practical mind, and to him
the present of the cooperative move
ment is of infinitely greater import
ance than its remote future. What
can cooperation do here and now?
Much, is the answer of the figures
given in the cooperative year-books.
In the United Kingdom the allied CO.
operative societies claim member
ship of over 100000 and business
amounting to nearly $350,000,0OO. In
Ireland, in particular, cooperation is
doing wonderful things for the farm
ers.
Cooperation, as Earl Grey said, is
an effective safeguard against the
tyranny of predatory trusts. Where
it is strong the trusts are weak.
Again, cooperation, by eliminating
middlemen, reduces the cost of COM
modities to consumers and keeps
down the cost of living. Idealists and
hard-headed persons can cordially
work together for the organization or
extension of cooperative societies.

be spoken except at the expense of
her deIicacy. Not one stirred.

The action of the southerners in
firing on Fort Sumter brought on
the Civil War. The affair has been
described as terrible, yet no one was
killed on either side. The wounded
on both sides numbered seven or
eight, and they all recovered. Artil-
lery fighting is nearly always a
joke. But the war brought on by the
firing on Sumter was serious enough.
To say nothing of the loss of life,
the cost was something terrible. The
second and third years of the war
cost the north about two million dol
lars day; the last year of tie war
cost the north almost three million
dollars for every week day. There
was no period of ten years in Great
Britain's war with the French when
she expended as much as the north
expended in four years: 1854. The
Napoleonic wars cost France about
one-fifth the amount the north paid
on account of the rebellion of the
southern states.

We did not see drunken man or
woman, an over-worked, starved look
ing child. street full of holes or any
unused land" So writes one of the
delegation of American engineers
who recently made an inspection tour
of industrial Germany to the st. JOS
eph News-Press. He saw other
things which are like glimpse into
fairyland. For instance: There are
no street corner loafers. The German
railways do not attempt to prohibit
but promote water and electric COM
petition. The managers of German
railroads are efficient engineers-not
lawyers priced for their skill in evad-
ing and multiplying laws to protect
the public interest. There are no
contributions by the invisible govern
ment as we have in the United
States" No doubt there were things
with respect to which the compari-
son wouldn't go so badly against us;
things which, on hurried trip, a
well steered delegation doesn't al
ways see. But if Germany can do
the foregoing as described, it means
jus. so much new hope and incentive
for Americans, who, let's assume,
won't be long content with an infer
ior rating.

THE COST OF JINGo PATRIOTISM

Three thousand artificial legs
wanted by the government of
nation at present in war"
This little advertisement, accord
ing TO the September Review of Re-
views, appeared in German paper
on August 1, 1913. 1t is merely an
interesting detail of summarized
total that is appalling. In the first
Balkan war Bulgaria had 350,0 sol
diers mobilized, of whom $4,000 are
now dead; Servia 25O,0O0-3O, 900 now
dead; Greece 100000, with loss of
10000 killed; Montenegro 5000 dead
out of 10000; Turkey, 100000 lost
out of 100000. Add to these figures
10000 dead in the second brief strug-
gle, and we have total of about
100000 men killed in few months
to satisfy a governmental dispute.
To this list must be added a great
number of wounded who will be un-
able to face the struggle for bread
and butter from this time. The
British war office estimates the cost
of the two struggles at more than
billion and a quarter dollars. And
as yet no settlement of the points
at issue has been made. This must
make cheerful reading to those pat
riots who think that nations honor
can only be upheld by an appeal to
arms, adds the Denver Republican.
