The Only Way


thorns In the side of local mer
chants the country over fol
many years. They have beer
denounced by business men anC
attacked in editorials time anC
again but each annual statement
shows more business done and
better profits than the year be-
fore.
People may be eXhorted tc
trade at home to support home
industry until doomsday, but
unless the local stores in the
smaller cities throughout the
country adopt the same methods
that have made the mail-order
business so profitable, these
pleadlngs will be in vain.
Advertise Advertising is the
basis of the success of these big
concerns and the manner in
which the Houghton Mich. J
Mining Gazette points out the
falllngs to those merchants who
complain most against mail -order
competition, will be interesting
to many merchants. After re-

ton which mail-order houses re-
ceived the article says.
But the mail-order houses
go right along doing more and
more business just the same
and notwithstanding They are
nov planning nationwide
newspaper campaign to follow
up their catalogue business.
Business men cuSs them and try
various and divers means of at
lacking them. But abusing the
mall-order houses never is an
argument, Saying mean things
about them is making them
friends. Talking about support
ing home industry doesn't get
very far because the average
business man who talks about
patronizing home business
Usually buys more or less of his
)Wn personal necessities some
where else. There is only one
Way to compete with the mail
rider house and that is to do
business the way he does it. .

al" ROAD BOSSES MUST NOW
TAKE THEIR OWN MEDICINE
Sad is the plight of the Chicago
Elevated railways. 1t prepared a
dose for its woTkmen labeled ''Arbi-
tratiOn.'' Now it must take it's own
medicine.
DR.. Len BUsby is accused of mixing
the prescription. DR.. B. 1. Budd, con-
sulting physician, was called in when
the surface and elevated lines were
stricken with violent cases of stTikitis
last month.
The docs got their noodles togeth-
er. They decided at once they would
have to use arbitration on the pa
tient For a similar ailment arbitra-
ton had been used three years be-
fore on the same patients with great
succession the companies. At that
time the dose was given in cOnjunc-
ton with Orrin Carriers little SILVER
pills. They worked all right-fOr the
companies. It made the men shiveT.
So Len and B. L were strong for
another dose of arbitration. They
couldn't jam the OTrin Carter pill
down the threats of the car men
again, so they tried to sugar coat the
names of some men associated with
State street department stores and
other interests antagOnistiC to labor.
They failed.
Doc. BUsby then proposed Mayor
Thompson as the third ingredient of
the arbitration dose. It was widely re-
ported that the mayor owned huge
block of elevated railways stock and
it was figured he would not vote to
reduce his own income.
They hailed VIM. Hale as the man
who would fill the bill Thompson
filled the bill of additional salary ex-
penses for the surface lines in a right
Hale and hearty fashion.
Now that its own medicine has
worked so finely on the surface lines

ROOSEVELTS BRAGADOCIO

The cynical London Outlook says:
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that if the
United States had had an intelligen.
and resolute president and secretary
of State they would have protested
against the German invasion of Bel
gium, the japanese capure of Kiao-
chow, the sinking of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse and the sowing of
mines in the open sea.
Mr.. Roosevelt, owing to his native
modesty, does not exactly say where
the States could find this hypothe-
tical intelligent and resolute person,
but one is permitted to guess and tu
feel sure that were he in office and
vote could be caught thereby, he
would denounce the transit of Mer-
curry or the procession of the equinox
es with equal intelligence and resolu-
tion.
eff" Mr.. Roosevelt were president
at this time it is safe to guess that
his discretion, which has always been
the better part Of his valor, despite
his thrasonic reputation, would
prompt him to reflect that he was
not dealing with weak and helpless
Colombia when his bristles began to
"echinate," as former Senator Bourne
would say, against the big Powers
engaged in the European war-Coi-

RAISE WAR RISK
INSURANCE RATE

Washington, March 3.-Although the
government war risk insurance bureau
is expected TO continue for the pres
ent the writing of insurance on Amer
lean ships and cargoes destined for
belligerent ports, the attitude Of the
warning nations toward neutral COM
merce is giving much concern to both
the treasury and state departments.
The war risk bureau already has
felt compelled to raise its rates on
insurance TO German ports because of
the sinking of the American ships
Carib and Evelyn and it is now con-
fronted with the problem Of how to
meet the situation arising out Of the
declaration of the allies that al! COM
mercial intercourse By sea between
Germany and the outside world will be
stopped.
Experts in international law tonight
pointed out that if a blockade had &C.
tually been declared. the bureau would
not be in an embarra ssing position
for its policies contain clauses de-
signed TO relieve the government OF
risk Where q vessel or cargo carrying
insurance is seized in attempting 10
run the blockade.
Under the announced plans Of the
allies. however, it was said that if an
American cargo of cotton or other
non contra band articles should be
seized and detained, the government
might be held liable for the insur-
ance.
