of the men having the batting lead in

All this may not be true, but here are

Concerning Protection.

Lemons and oranges grown In this
co ltry are protected" by heavy
tariff from "pauper fruit" grown IN
Sicily. Unluckily, this protection
does not extend to bad weather; ana
a few weeks ago, half the orange and
lemon crop of California was wiped
out by a heavy freeze.
This mischance will compel some
changes in the usual pleas for pro-
lection when the lemon and orange
tariff comes up for revision. Con-
gress will be told that it must tenn
per the winds Of revision to the
shorn lamb of the citrus fruit busl-
ness, and not follow the lead OF prov
idence in shifting this infant indus
try.
Perhaps the orange growers would
be willing to compromise If congress
would put a prohibitive duty on cold
waves.

ing the correct meaning TO persOns-e
whom you speak.
Nothing so angers the average per-
son than an overcharge. Careful at
tention in checking over the bills sent
out will make errors of this kind
avoidable. In these days the well
advertised-goods" customer has be-
come very wary to substitutes. He
or she, as the case may be, wants the
article asked for. If you haven't the
article in stock do not send another
one. Tell the customer when you can
get what has been asked for and put
the name of the article on your buy
ing list.
Many dealers meet the request for
the exchange of an article with
"well-you-b ught-it-didn't-yo air. In
cases where the customer has good
ground or even no grounds at all to
exchange what they buy the exercise
of good business judgment will tell
you to make the exchange or to credit
them without argument.
Many dealers give their customers
cause for complaint. They are in the
habit of asking different prices for the
same article. One customer compares
the price of something that he has
bought, with another customer and
they discover discrepancies III the
price. Then they become your enc
mics.
In the selling of goods the biggest
factor is keeping down the number of
complaints If you unduly praise OF
exaggerate the qualities of anything
you sell, the goods you sell wouldn't
make good on your claim.
Avoid these comebacks. When you
tell the customer that you will deliver
the same day or at certain time, be
sure that it is possible. A continually
disappointed customer soon becomes
no customer at all.

SIMPLY UNJUST TAX
Truth About the Working OF the
Tariff on Sugar.
Corporations in Hawaii Allowed 70
Make Exorbitant Profits at the
Expense of the Consumers
in America.

One of the pleasantest duties OF the
Wilson administration may be to set
before the American people IN onclal
form the truth about the workings OF
the sugar tariff in Hawaii.
The Hawaiian sugar planter IS pro
tected" by a duty which taxes the
table and pantry of every household IN
the United States. AS result OF
this tax, the sugar industry OF Ha-
waii is enormously profitable.
One sugar planting corporation
whose total investment is $1,OOO,OOo
pays IS per cent. per year on cap
italization of $5,OOO,0OO, or 90 per cent
per year Oh the actual investment. An
other company pays about loo per
cent. per year on investment, though
the exact figures are concealed. IL
is estimated that one-third Of the TO-
tai price of the Hawaiian sugar crop
is net profit
This is fine-for the sugar planters.
But the theory of protective tarlf Is
that it builds up American industry.
How does the sugar tariff square with
this theory in Hawaii?
This pay: There are about oo I'M
portant plantations in the islands, all
owned by corporations. There are
only GOA native Americans employed
on the plantations, nearly all as over
seers. In total population Of near
ly 100000 only 1,763 voters were reg
istered as Americans when the last
figures were taken.
So far as population is concerned
Hawaii is a Japanese colony. over
two-thirds Of the population Of the Is
lands is Asiatic-Japanese, Chinese,
Koreans and Filipinos. Nearly three
fourths of all the plantation work.
ers are Japanese Chicago Journal.

Our Point of View

William C. Freeman, advertising
manager of the New York Tribune
is quoted as saying recently: "Only &
possible five out of the total number
Of New York department stores are
doing honest advertising"
This is something for housewives
and others who are in the habit of
shopping by mail order to the big
city stores to think about. Only
FIVE honest advertisers among the
host of department stores in the
greatest city in the world and it is
safe to say those five honest adver-
tisers are not to be found among the
class Of tradesmen who cater to the
middle and poorer classes of consum-
ers but rather among those who make
their appeal on a quality basis to
those who can afford to pay we'll for
what they buy. This dishonest adj
vertising is not disease existing
only in New York City, but in Chi
eago and the Twin Cities nearer
home. The big bargains advertised
in St: Paul and Minneapolis papers
are bargains. often, on paper only.
There are usually one or two articles
among the advertised list that are
real bargains, but if the email order
customer" fondly imagines the city
store that gets his money is going to
pick those bargains out of the show
window for an out-of-town customer,
he is badly mistaken. The place to
buy is where you can see what you
are getting and whether it is "just
as good as you have a right to ex-
pect. Buy from, the merchant whose
success depends on your repeat or
ders. Then you will get real SER
vice in place of make-believe bar
gains.
And while we are speaking thus
strongly in behalf of our merchants
we want to remind them that the
same rule applies to US. The New
Ulm Publishing Company buys every
ebtainable supply for it's needs in To-
cal markets. The employees of the
Company are all home people, spend
ing their money right here in New
Ulm. Loyalty to home dealers is a
motto among us. In return we feel
that every bit of job printing that
can be done in New Ulm should 60 to
one Of the three job printing shops
here. Speaking for ourselves, we
are equipped to do 80 per cent of all
kinds of printing required by users
of printed matter in New Ulm. There
is little indeed that we cannot do

saved him from the censure and sus-
picion which is often linked with his
name.
The critic says, "He might have
become eminent in any calling, had
he wished it, and bent his energies
to the purpose" Whether a man
becomes eminent depends on other
factors than "energy." When Arts
tocracy or Privilege holds the key to
the door of opportunity, energy on
the part of man like Burns might
gain martyrs crown of immortal
ity, but never a soft, easy place in
respectable society.
The despair of the Tory is demo-
crat. If we keep this fact in mind
when reading some biographies of
Burns, we shall understand what was
in the mind of Emmett, when on his
way to the scaffold, he earnestly
pleaded for the charity of the worlds
silence and requested that his "tomb
remain uninscribed till other men
and other times could do justice to
his memory"
In the coming day of democratic
civilization, we shall better under
stand the plowman poet, who, when
the night was darkest, had vision
and remained true to it, of better
day coming, when those who do the
worlds work should win the worlds
prizes, or as he expressed it
"When sense and worth, DER a. the
earth,
Shall bear the gree, and a. that"
and who, on another occasion, said,
"Whatever mitigates the woes or in
creases the happiness of others, this
is my criterion of goodness, and
whatever Injuries society at large, or
any individual in it, this is my meas
nre of iniquity."
