MAlL-ORDER SYSTEM EVIL
k9ow Chicago Man Made Immense For
tune at the Expense of Small
! Communities Everywhere.

A merchant prince died In Chicago
and left s15,OOO.OOo to his heirs. every
,cent Of which was made in the mall
order business.
We would not dispute the dead
iman's honesty or criticise him foF
making this fortune in q manner that
lis certainly legitimate. But whence
did these millions come, and from
whose poverty grew his wealth? asks
Ithe Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The answer Is the familiar fndict'
tment of the mail-order business as IL
has developed IN Chicago. From men
and women who were lured by attrac'
tive pictures to pay retail prices plus
the heavy cost of carriage from Chi
,cago; from people who searched the
pages of catalogue and would not en-
ter stores of their own towns, where
1.-THE same goods at the same price
were sold; from buyers who sent to
Chicago merely to give their pur'
,chases that distinction begotten OF
distance-from these came the mil!
lions that made the great mail-order
king.
If the evil ended here we should re-
Igret the stupidity of certain class
tof purchasers and stop at that. But
the fortune Of the mail-order kings
is gained at the expense OF progress
lin rural communities scattered over
,the continent
Here Is the case: The little coun-
try merchant puts in his stock,
bought of merchants in his own state.
He buys the best, and intends to sell
it honestly and at a fair profit He
waits. His cheaper goods are sold
and his staples are purchased. But
his dress goods fade on the shelves
and his farming implements rust IN
his storeroom. His neighbors buy OF
him only what they must; their larger
purchases are made from Chicago
mail-order houses. The merchant Is
forced to sell what his customers will
purchase; those who have helped to
ruin him criticise the paucity Of his
lstock.
The Chicago mailorder business
lcripples the local merchant. 1t limits
the stock of the stores. It builds up
great fortunes and single city, al
the expense of those who would pro-
claim progress the country over.

Motto for Civic Workera.

Improvement societies and similar
bodies working for the general good
of all should adopt a characteristic
motto, not alone to print upon their
stationery, but one that will serve to
keep in mind the purposes for which
the organization was formed. The fol-
lowing strongly appeals as peculiarly
fitting:
For the cause that lacks assistance,
Against the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance.
And the good that we can do.

XNT ILL the readers Of The
w Georgian, when they
finish the news and editorials
of The Georgian to-day and
tomorrow, do us and do
themselves the favor to turn
these pages and read the ad-
vertisements which make up
the other part of it?
They are particularly inter
esting. They are full of life
and snap, and furthermore,
they are the message OF our
great merchants to the people
of the city, telling, without the
necessity of search, just what
they have to present, and just
what bargains and opportuni-
ties these several great houses
and the smaller lines of trade
in every department carry.
The advertising pages of
this paper are among the most
interesting things in it to
everybody, inside the city and
outside the city. They are the
mark of our progress. They
are the gauge of our CONNER
cial equality with the greater
cities, and they will show that
Atlanta is not surpassed south
of New York in the charm and
variety, and in the quality of
material and the price of the
thousand exhibited by our
merchants and tradesmen in
Atlanta to-day.

CAPITALIST NEW
ENTRY IN 1874
CAMPAIGN

Martin r Amorous. ex-member OF
the City Council and prominent CAPT
talist. Friday announced that he
would run for Mayor in the next
election
Most political experts have been
skeptical of the reports that Mr.. Am
orous was to run since he always has
been a close friend of Mayor Wood
ward, and 1t is generally understood
that Mayor Woodward again will be
candidate.
Il am not running against Mayor
Woodward or anyone else he said.
HE, with others. has beer mentioned
as probable candidate, but no one
has announced. | don't know who is
going to run except myself l will"
Likely to Weaken Woodward.
The announcement puts a complete
new angle on Atlanta's political sit
uation. Mr.. Amorous undoubtedly
will command some of Mayor Wood
wat = regular support He also will
get encouragement from elements
that never have supported Mayor
Woodward
Mayor Woodward is going to run,
If fate will permit His close friends
do not have any doubt about that.
Mr.. Amorous was told this.
Il have seen Mayor Woodward
since it has been reported that
would be a candidate" he said. He
didn't mention the matter to me nor
TO him, II he had mentioned it
would have told him
Il have retired from active bust
ness and haven't anything to do. l
want to be Mayor"
Who else will be candidate is
more uncertain than ever
5ooms of Others Growing.
Colonel Walter P Andrews, consid-
cred a probable candidate, is in Eu-
rope as a special envoy of President
Wilson and will not return to Atlanta
until April He said he would an
nounce his decision at that time
Alderman John S. Gambler, urged
by many TO enter the contest, has
positively declined, but some of his
friends are hopeful that he will re-
consider the matter,
1t is not unlikely that Carlos Fl.
Mason. chairman of the Police Com
mission. will be a candidate. Mr.. Ma
son says he doesn't want to run, but
a growing boom is on for him.
