TAFT D1SLIKES THE HAGUE

Washington, Jan. 7.-President
Taft is willing to submit to arbitra-

Great Britain and the United States
over Panama canal tolls, but he does
not favor arbitration by the Hague
tribunal. This fact, became known
here last night upon the presidents
return from New York. Although
he has not yet given the matter Of
fetal attention, the president would
prefer special board of arbitration
composed of an equal number of citi-
zens of the United States and Great
Britain. Such was the composition
OF the arbitral court he proposed to
settle any vital question arising be-
tween nations when he spoke in be-
half of the arbitration treaties.

Merchant. Should Wax. up.

Merchants in the smaller towns of the
country might as well make up their
minds that the mail order houses. backed
by millions of capital, have come to
stay. They might as well make up
their minds that the parcels pest has
come to stay. and with the knowledge
that the business of the big mail order
houses has increased at the rate Of
millions of dollars annually since the
parcels post law went into effect; and
the further fact that the recent order
OF the Postmaster General reducing
rates in first and second zones, and in.
creasing weight of packages to 90
pounds will add more millions to their
business, 1t Is time to consider meeting
these conditions. An editorial IN the
New York Examiner, leading Baptist
paper OF the country, calls upon the
government to abolish all zones and
transport packages at a fiat rate all
oyer the country, same as letter post
age. If the carrying of these packages
does not pay expenses, the government
can tax something else to get the money
to make up the loss.
The Republican has always believed
that in no case does the mail order
houses give as good value for the money
as the local merchants can give; that
money has to be sent in advance, where
at home, articles can be examined and
their merits proved in advance of buy.
ing, and if not as represented, the seller
is here to make good. But the mer.
chant must put these things before the
buying public with prices, and there il
no way he can reach the public so sure
ly and cheaply as through the Local
newspapers. Conditions are changing
rapidly. The same methods that pre-
vailed twenty-five or fifty years age
will not succeed in building up much
of business today. If the local mer
chants used the same intelligent, per
sistent advertising the mail order house,
do, they would have no reason to com
plain of mail order competition. TIL,
mail order houses would gladly TAX
space in all the country papers of Miohi
gan If it were available. They do get
great deal of space in farm papers ant
it brings them golden dollars for nickel
invested. The merchants who do no
take notice of these changing condition
will not grow much in business. Som,
Mill fall by the wayside. johns
