Can Beat Mail Order.

Why doesn't the country store
keeper try beating the big mail-order
house at its own game? How? BY
letting the people know what goods
he carries, the quality, the price; by
comparing his stock and prices with
those advertised by these mall order
houses. Every woman who was ever
inveigled into purchasing goods from
the wholesale houses by some alluring
suggestions in a catalogue will &C
knowledge she has at times been badly
'stung." A visit to a local store will
frequently show her that better goods
at better prices could have been Sc
cured right at home. But she did not
know that. and the result was a loss
to the local merchant and herself as
well.
Let the local merchant quote goods
and prices in the columns of his home
paper in the manner the mail order
man does by catalogue, go after the
business as the mail order man does
and he will get it-no mighty mira
cle' viii be needed to save him from
destruction. Let the mail order house
stop advertising for a year and 1t will
surely go bankrupt.
Just now, their new year stock-tak-
ing finished, the great mail order
houses are flooding the malls with
catalogues advertising cleanup sales
The woman in the home reads this
literature and succumbs to its sug
gestions. A purchase away from home
is the result.
If the country storekeepers are sat
isfied with a good enough" business
it is their own affair, but they must
not complain IL the mail order houses
light and make use of all Legitimate
means to better their business.

Nicaragua Treaty Unsettled.

The treaty with Nicaragua which
has been before the senate for seven
months, is expected to be taken up for
further consideration by the foreign
relations committee in the near future.
1t provides for the purchase of per-
petual option on the Nicaraguan canal
route and of naval station rights on
the shores of the gulf of Fonseca for
$3000,000. 1t also proposes to extend
the chief features of the Platt amend
ment, which would give this country
control over the customs of Nicaragua.
This feature of the treaty has aroused
opposition among some members OF
the committee. They believe such a
provision is too far-reaching.
Vigorous opposition to the treaty
has developed also in Central America
and members of congress are in re-
ceipt of a protest from FREDERICK Pen
ado, chairman of the Salvadorean com
mittee of the National Central Ameri
can association.

ashington.-General arbitration
treaties ratified by the senate Satur-
day renewed for five years agree
ments with Great Britain, Japan,
Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and
Switzerland and marked the first step
in the policy of President Wilson to
place the United States in a more adj
vantageous position in the world of
nations.
Opponents of the treaties made no
effort to delay the votes.
The treaties, briefly, provide for
reference to The Hague tribunal of
legal differences and questions relat-
ing to the Interpretation of other ex-
listing treaties which can not be set
tied by diplomacy.
Important Exceptions.
No matter involving the vital in
terests, independence or honor of the
contracting powers is included in the
scope of these treaties, and all dis
putes involving the interests of third
parties also are excluded.
The method of procedure toward ar
bitration fixed by the treaties, pro-
vides that a special agreement shall
be drawn up setting out the details
of the dispute and defining it's issues
and the scope of consideration to be
granted to the arbitrators. Such agree
ments must be signed by the presi-
dent and ratified by the senate before
the question can be submitted to The
Hague.
Matters still before the senate for
eign relations committee are the Pan
anna tolls question, the pending treaty
with Nicaragua and the treaty with
Columbia growing out of the surren-
der of the Panama strip. Reports on
these, it is understood, will be laid be-
fore the senate in the near future.
Tolls Issue Later.
Although the majority for the rati-
fication of the treaties was oyerwhelm-
ing and the amendment to exempt car
ried by more than a two-thirds vote,
senators who urge repeal of the free
tolls provision insist that these votes
are not significant of the attitude of
the senate on the tolls issue. Senator
O'Gorman now says he did not re-
gard the ratification action as a test.
He is determined to continue the fight
for free tolls.
Thes senate is looking to the presi-
dent for some initiative action in the
tolls matter and several senators said
that the issue would be made mat
