AN important decision was rendered oy
the United States Supreme Court last
Monday, when it upheld the validity OF
the Missouri law providing for two cent
passenger fares and fixing maximum
freight rates. The court, by the same
ruling, decided that the two-cent passen-
ger law of West Virginia and the State
freight rates fixed by Oregon and Arkan-
sas were valid and did not interfere with
interstate commerce. The principle
was established that the States have the
right TO fix both freight and passenger
rates without violating interstate COM
merce provisions, and these rates shall
hold good except in such cases where the
corporations may be able to prove thai
they are confiscatory.
The West Virginia fight for two-cenl
passenger fares has been in the courts
for six years. When the Legislature
passed the law fixing this rate the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad accepted ii, and
ever since has sold its tickets on this
basis. The Chesapeake & Ohio and the
Norfolk & Western roads resisted the
law, and have charged either two and
a-half or three cents mile while the
matter was being threshed out in the
courts. They will have to refund the
excess fares encyclopaedia thatper-
sons have been thrifty enough 10 retain
the coupons attached to tickets.
1t is presumed that all of the railroads
in this State will now get down to the
two-cent basis-provided, of course, thai
the ever-resourcefu corporation attor-
neyS find no further flaw that will serve
the purpose of delay.

There were many valuable suggest
ions in the editorials entitled Civic
Pride in the last issue Of the Chief,
each Of which should bs made the sub.
ject Of discussion, that the proper
action may be had to bring about the
changes needed. What the city has
lacked is just such meeting place 70,

In the management of lines of busi
ness where competition exists. it has
long been custom to use some means
of stimulating trade, and directing 1t
to ones own establishment. The meth.
cd Of most Of the large wholesale
houses is to send their travelling men
to each customer, to increase trade
by solicitation. The method used
largely by retail houses is the judieious
use OF advertising.
These two methods used appear
widely different, aud yet they are
governed largely by the same laws.
Advertising Is simply a cheaper form
of soliciting trade. Bv the use Of the
columns Of the newspapers. the busi-
ness man can speak to hundreds OF
customers while the travelling man is
speaking to individuals. The travel
ing man must be tactful; must know
his goods from A to u; and he must be
able to present his arguments In such
way that desire for his line Is Great
ed. He must understand the psychic
logy Of salesmsnship. These require
ments are just rs necessary In the case
Of the ad writer. The man who il
preparing to address an audience OF
hundreds gives much time In deter
mining what to say, although he may
have time to use from three to sin
Thousand words in presenting his case
The business man can hardly afford t.
be less careful in writing message tc
hundreds of readers, many or all OF
whom are prospective customers, es
pecially since he is limited as to the
number OF words he may use. All
supertious matter must be eliminated
The wording should be striking, and
the whole advertisement must help Il
create a desire for the goods which the
merchant Is selling.
