WE HAVE AN ELECTION COMING

These lines were written before the
annual election Tuesday with the hope
that a spark of harmony might be
placed here and there regardless OF the
result Of that periodical contest. In a
democratic government like onrs any
issue has It's supporters and its op-
ponents,-the result Of a difference OF
opinion. When the opinion is honest,
even Though 1t may be wrong, from
the point of view OF another, the indi.
vidual should not be criticized, and
matters OF business, of the social cir
Gle, or eve religion, should not be in
iected into the controversy. Every
question should be settled on its
merits, otherwise there Is no real issue
but merely a desire for victory, a mad
scramble to defeat those who oppose.

has been withdrawn, the American
bankers, who at the earnest solicita-
ton of Secretary Knox had decided to
help finance the new Chinese republic,
will probably take no chances. b
Nicaraguan and Honduran treaties
will also be entirely worthless, for
government protection OF American
money lenders was an essential part
of these acts. Mr.. Wilson's attitude
forbids the intention of the treaties to
provide American supervision of Gus
toms collections in South America,
from which loans We're to be repaid.
Opinions on dollar diplomacy" de-
pend upon the angle from which he
subject is viewed. An alliance be-
tween the government and bankers
for the issuance of foreign loans and
their protection by government super
vision of customs collections and the
resultant obligation to suppress revo-
lutions and internal disturbances by
force, if necessary, to keep the
customs collections coming in regular,
ly, is difficult to defend as a constitu-
tional function of government. On the
other hand, or purely from the stand
point of commercial eXpediency, the
plan has worked out most happily, as
pointed out by President Taft's mes
sage on dollar diplomacy last year.
In the matter of the Chinese loan,
Secretary Knox virtually pledged the
United States government to inter-
vene in China should that country's
finances be j~eopardized by revolution
airy or other troubles. Mr.. Knox point
ed out that commercial preference
would certainly go to the nations
whose bankers assisted China to get on
its feet and his call to American bank
ers was responded to more in a spirit
of business patriotism than from a
keen desire to participate. The pro-
lection indirectly assured by the gov
eminent, of course, made the loan de-
sirable. This is exactly what Europ-
a governments are doing for their
bankers.
Dollar diplomacy" is a dead issue
now and so, perhaps, are certain COM
mercial advantages as the direct re.
suit. The business aspect of the stu
alton would not be considered by a
real good democrat, of course, and we
have a large number of them in Wash,
ington now even though we are not
yet so sure of the one in the White
House.
Strictly as a matter Of principle, the
administration has done the correct
thing. Whether it's action, abrogating
a policy that brought no harm to any
one and really produced good results,
can be so considered from a CONNER
cial standpoint is open to legitimate
doubt.-Sioux Falls Press.

MOTlON-PICTURE SCHOOL FOR
RAILROAD FIREMEN

A motion-picture theater on wheels
has recently been inaugurated by the
educational bureaus OF several rail-
roads for the purpose of demonstrating
fuel economy to firemen and en-
gineers, says the April Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, in an illustrated
article. The demonstration coach is
equipped with a moving-picture ma
chine which throws pictures of the
proper and improper firing of locomo-
tives on a screen at one end of the car,
and the classes for instruction occupy
the egula a seats facing the screen.
Some OF the pictures show the differ
ence between stiff-back firing, where
the coal scoop is held tight with both
hands and a jerking strain comes on
the back each time a shovelful Of coal
Is fired, and easy firing, where the
scoop is handled properly and the
coal is fired with a swing. The pic.
lures also show the ease with which
coal Is placed where 1t Is wanted when
the scoop is held properly; the proper
method Of lining up the sides and cor.
ners Of the fire box; the way in which
to turn the scoop to put a fire directly
under the door; the proper mount OF
coal to pick up in the scoop, and the
bad results OF picking up too much.
In addition to the proper handling
OF the scoop shovel, the right method
OF preparing the fire before starting
dpon the trip Is also shown by mic.
lures indicating how the fire should be
built up gradually. starting long
enough before leaving time to get .
good bed OF fire on the CRATES.

Professor Unna, Of Germany, and

the hair follicles, in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to

THE MAIL ORDER OCTOPUS

To the Register:
have been watching the rise and
progress of the mail order houses
for a good many years, considering
what the end would be, relative to the
local merchant.
The end is neal enough now, that
one may safely predict, that the
"BOgie Man. of the local dealer-the
Mail order house" will Don get him.
1t is of no use for the local merchant
to assert and argue that the patrons
of the mail order concerns buy goods
no cheaper, and of inferior quality
than of him. All of the people are
not fools all the time-they most as
suredly buy goods cheaper-or else
they would not buy any-or not so
much.
Why is this thus?
First. There are too many people
behind counters who should be behind
plows.
Second. Their concerns are not
efficient, as they do not sell goods
enough to warrant the rent, clerk hire
and other expenses incurred in bust
ness-hence must have higher prices
lOT WudI Juey 40 sell.
Third. They buy merchandise in
small lots at the highest price, and
ship by local freight at highest rate.
Fourth. They are tied up not only
as to prices they pay, but those they
sell for, by the various jobbers and
manufacturing associations, and in
many instances a U. S. patent fixes
the price for which they must sell GER
tain goods at retail. On the contrary
the mail order houses have cut loose
from the jobbers, and buy in car lots
from the manufacturers. In many n
stances. on many articles they have
even passed the manufacturers up and
make their W goods. On many lines
they have no money invested-simply
pass the customers cash on to the
manufacturer and goods are shipped
from the factory-they do not even
have the expense of handling the
goods at all.
They are able to do this at low
prices under agreements to buy large
amounts of such merchandise each
year. Now, for the remedy. Many
local dealers, must go out of business
voluntarily or go into bankruptcy
necessarily. Those remaining must
combine, and buy their merchandise
direct from manufacturers and pro-
ducers in car lots-cutting out the
jobbers entirely, and divide goods so
bought among the dealers interested
in the town or several towns. OF
course their retail prices upon goods
so bought will be uniform, even then
they can give the consumer lower
prices and save him money.
There is no use Of acting like a lot
Of Notwithstanding their heads in
holes, and Haunting danger. Some.
thing must be done and at once.
All the stuff published in local
papers against the mail order con-
Germs does them no harm. 1t is good
advertising for them, and costs
nothing.
"You can't fool all the people all
the time"
We will simply add in conclusion,
that IL the merchants do not do some.
thing for the consumer soon, he will,
and is doing it for himself by means
of cooperation. A Register Reader.
