The Escanaba Journal contained q
very sensible editorial in it's last issue
ON the political situation. Taking
his text from the crumbs Of Joy that
papers of republican. progressive and
democratic persuasion seem TO see
dropped from the last election. Mr..
Baldwin goes 90 20 show that there Ia
no foundation TO the claims, that the
progressive claims are all forced
that the republican claims are nulli-
Fed by the evidence afforded In the
vote OF the different states and coun-
ties. that so long as the progressives
and republicans both stick neither
will win The democrat is the only
fellow who has any license to feel glad
and his 10Y arises more because split
is continued in the republican ranks
than because the people really believe
in democrat principles, The Journal
has supported the Bull Moose move
1ent until recently and this plain
statement of facts ought to lead other
papers on both sides of this republican
split to look mt the matter in sensible
light. There il no use, boys The
prating of fine sentiment don't,

Merchants Should Advertise

one of the most effective ways for
local merchants to oppose encroach-
ments of the mail order houses is to
advertise literally in the home paper
Too many merchants sleep on their
oars while the catalogue house comes
in and takes large portion of their
trade. They demur at undertaking
anything like thorough system of
advertising. contending that the drift
to the mail order houses is bound to
come and yet make free complaint
over the inroads of the mail order
houfss into their particular trade.
The fact Of the matter is, the trade
belongs rightfully to them and would
come to them If they were progressing
enough in inviting it with good. live
advertising.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The newspapers of this city have unanimously spoken in praise of President Taft's declara- toin in favor of submitting the Pana- ma canal question to The Hague tri- bunal. The Times and Telegraph as we'll as the government organs like the Daily News state that President Taft shows real statesmanship in holding the view that other nations should not be discriminated against in matter of the canal which should be regarded as international and world property and not as the private property of one country.

They declared that the interests Of employers and employees should be conserved and that both should meet each other in a friendly and concilia- . tory manner--as friends not as enc mics.
 Representatives of the various unions and other guests also spoke and the tone of the speeches throughout was of a kind to promise harmoni- ous effort towards starting Alaska right on the course of autonomy.
