Buyina in Chicago

The annual report of the Sears-Rce
buck & Co., the great mail order
house of Chicago, for the year end
ed December 81. 1913, shows that
after paying per cent. on the pre-
ferred stock the balance of SS,463,-
317 was equal to 2117 per cent. earn
ed on the $40,000,OOO common sock.
This compares with 1894 per cent.
earned on the same stock this year
previous. The total income of the
company for the year was $91,619,-
247. as compared with S773l3,693 last
year Net profits for the year were
$9.O27,67O, against sS.322,611 in 1912.
Undivided profits were increased
from s12,O59,2S6 on December 81,
1912, to s17727,6 on December 81.
1918.
1t is astonishing that rural people
buy such enormous quantities Of
goods from the big mail order hous-
es. 1t is a fallacy that these houses
can do better for the purchaser than
to buy at home. There are some
things no doubt that the rural per-
son can buy in Chicago az slightly
less cost but the quality is inferior
But, in the long run the buyer at
home viii come out better than those
who buy thousand miles away If
anything is wrong the local concern
is near home and can always make
things right. On the whole the To-
cal tradesmen and the rural and
home people should patronize local

WHY DILLINGHAM; VOTED AGAINST
SUFFRAGE
Continued from First Page


! ton on the part of other states.
The vigor with which the adoption
of the proposed amendment is urged
| illustrates the tendency of the people
at the present time to overlook their
rights and powers as citizens of SOW
ereign states. They forget, ] fear,
the dignity OF their birthright, and by
their actions loosen the firm grasp
they have heretofore held upon the
principle of local self-government. 1t
is dangerous thing to part with any
of our rights as sovereign states.
This is particularly true in the case
of Vermont, because she is one OF the
Small states of the Union. SO long as
we maintain our rights as citizens OF
sovereign state, SO long shall we
maintain our influence in the general
government; but If we are unwise
enough to surrender such rights and
to permit other states to judge OF and
control our politics. then we have sur
rendered our birthright
/ think after further consideration
OF this matter you will agree with me
that, however desirable the enfran
chisement of women may be- the
question is one which can most pro-
perly and perfectly be determined by
each state for itself. The womanhood
OF Vermont is not excelled by that OF
any other state. The gallantry and
sound judgment of the men OF Yer
mont are, in my judgment. equal to
that of the men of any other ate.
When this matter has been debated,
when the principles involved are full
ly understood. and the desires OF the
women of Vermont are as whole
known. the question will, rs have
said before, be intelligently determin
ed
| have written thus fully not with
the thought of delaying the move
ment In favor of equal suffrage, for
have always insisted that when ma-
jority of the women OF the state de-
sire to assume the obligations which
the right to vote imposes, the priyi-
lSSc VIII NC uhSA uuSlhSly SA'Su tHS4h'
have simply endeayored to indicate
why. as a Senator from Vermont, |
do not feel at liberty to submit the
determination of any of cur state pol
iCies to the judgment and control of
the people of other states; and |
think your organization, however
keenly it may feel the importance of
the general question OF the eafran-
chisement of women, will agree with
me that it is better that the cam
paign be made and the question set
tied in Vermont where. whatever the
result may be. all classes will accept
tho verdict as being the enlightened
judgment OF an enlightened people. !
and so rest content.

As Others See Us.

After raising sand because somebody tipped off his opinion before he had it thoroughly printed, Attorney General Will liam Moose, of Arkansas, has given out an official opinion to the effect that the Going liquor law is unconstitutional, because it permits only white people to sign petitions in favor of the li- ouor traffic, thus discriminating against the negroes, who are cit izens of the country. Arkansas |has her liquor laws in a muddle, but no doubt her people will be like the people of Kansas, who were, acording to the late witty senator, J. J. Ingalls,, we'll pleas ed with existing arrangements, because the temperance people will have all the law they want, while the liquor people will have all the whiskey they want. - Memphis News-Scimitar.

Future Gambling.

Congress will probably soon take up again the pretermitted
 question of putting an end to future gambling, or betting on the chalk marks put up on the
 blackboards in the various insti- tutions of the country called ex- changes. The evils of this form of gambling have been wildly presented to the people of Mem
 phis, and if the sentiment throughout the country is the same as it is here, it will not be long until the big gambling in- stitutions, as we'll as the little
 ones, will be put out of business. The claim has been made that the cotton buyer who can hedge against loss is a benefit to the
 cotton planter, because he would thus be enabled to pay the full market price without fear of loss to himself. This argument
 has been destroyed time and
 again, because hedging is no
 protection. New York can ten
 der the actual cotton on settling
Newport daily independent., 1914-02-13

day, and the buyer must accept it, notwithstanding the fact that it includes twenty-eight different grades that are not worth shucks to the spinner. It has been insisted also that the future gambling game was play ed only by those who are veal thy enough to enjoy the sport of the kings of finance, and that no one is injured by it. The fal- lacy of this argument has also been shown in recent disas- trous failure in Memphis, where the money of the poor, the un- protected and the innocent and trusting was spent in playing the game.
 There is no economic reason for future gambling, and it ought to be destroyed and or dered out of the country. It has no standing in any court, and is merely a purifying spot on the commercial body of the country. Eminently respectable gentlemen in almost every city conduct bucket shops under the name of brokerage offices, in which money is accepted and bets placed for the gamblers, just as they are for any faro bank or chuckluck game, with the difference that the percent age in favor of the two last named games is much less than it is in favor of the bucket shop.
 These institutions are run ming in violation of law, and vio- lation of law always brings about evil consequences. They ought to be closed up and "For Rent" signs placed upon the doors, to the end that some leg innate and helpful business may be established in their stead.- Memphis News-Scimitar.

Dansant For Miss Ottenheimer

Dansant For Miss Ottenheimer.
 One of the most charming of the many social courtesies ex- tended to Miss Ruth Ottenhelm- CT, a popular guest in our city from Little Rock, was the tea dansart given by Mrs. Joseph MT. Berger Thursday afternoon which proved a delightful inno- vation in the weeks social af- fairs. From three to fve-thirty the pretty home was thronged with guests who enjoyed the dance, many beautiful figures being on the program.
 The home was aglow with crimson lights under red shades and strings of red hearts were suspended from the ceiling across the rooms, the beautiful valentine idea being carried out in every feature of the after noon's affair.
 The dining room was exquis- itely done in red carnations and hearts, a vase of the above men, toned flowers, forming a center decoration for the table. Tea was poured by Mrs. w. A. Bill kingsley, who was gowned in a lavendar Parisian silk, and Mrs. Van Dyke, who wore a dainty white Paris muslin. A buffet luncheon was served by Miss Bertha Hirsch, who wore gray crepe, Miss Leah Jones in white spangled net, and Mrs. B. w. Stainback, who wore a costume of blue and gold.
 Miss Ottenheimer wore an ex- quisite toilet of light blue satin, with white fur trimmings and carried red carnations, and with Mrs. Berger, who was dressed in white crepe meteor with brown marabout trimmings, received the guests who were the young lady friends of Mrs. Berger.
 Those present were Misses Ruth Ottenheimer, Carrie Ste- vens, Lutie Mae Stephens, Hat tie Heinemann, Lucy and Fran ces Bailey, Katherine Morris,
