Courtesy to Bill Collectors

If you never put package OF
bills in your pocket and started out
TO collect accounts you doubtless
are unprepared TO imagine that
there is foreign world and an un-
friendly race Of people living in
your very midst whom you have
never met before.
You are acquainted with the GUS
toner, who, in the hour of need,
buys cheerfully in your store and
selects with great care the goods
you are selling him. He is quite
aniable and friendly and YOU
charge the account with pleasure
and wish him mighty well as he
leaves with q kind word and encour-
aging look.
But. If you are a collector, you
sometimes meet a stranger, though
the name and amount of money
with which he is charged is the
same. When you enter his place
Of business, the smile has entirely
gone and the genial impression is
akranralv missing. He is gruff
cold, sometimes indignant, some
time discourteous.
There are coolies Of people who
do not like to pay their bills. Just
Why does not appear on the record.
They make other people pay them,
but when they are asked, accord
ing to agreement, to pay what they
owe, the bin collector sometimes
feels as though he has fallen heir
to q hard LOT and is visiting in a
foreign country.
II you haven't got the money, it
might be better to tell the collec-
sor and tell him conrteously, Cor he
il the personal representative Of the
man who has trusted you. OF
Oourse the presumption is you
bought Che goods with the idea Of
paying for them; if you didn't,
then you should very properly be
elassed where you belong, among
the unnumbered army of common
crooks and should be labeled by the
business community accordingly. -

SUBTRACTION. What he has done can
not be undone, and neither can his

act Of the mob surrounding his home

twisting tie Tail Of the Golden
Rule

but we often twist its tail TO Q
FRAGILE.
It was laid down as a guiding
star to the faItering and hayward
footsteps Of humanity. But there
are many feet in this town that
neglect to tread the golden path.
way Of life.
II has been taught us at the
mother knee. preached to us from
the pulpit, fed to US in the schools,
acclaimed from the lecture plat
form, and advocated from thous-
and other sources.
But there are local ears that hear
not and eyes that refuse to see.
The tail Of the Golden Rule is re-
ceiving some vigorous twists in this
town.
Often we are asked by some mer-
chant to preach the doctrine Of
trade at home. =" We preach it,
and it helps to enrich the merchant
who made the request.
That is good, for We believe in
patronizing local institutions-.-N g
like to see them grow.--we want the
money kept at home.
But when the same merchant
whose money till we have helped to
fill sends out Of town for his job
printing we cannot but pity the
isolation Of the poor old Golden
Rule.
Some people make their money
in this community, enjoy life in
the community, educate their chill
dren at the expense Of the com
lnunity, and then buy their goods
from merchants who are NOT in
or Of the community.
1t is some tug at the golden tail.
There are some people who want
the earth for what they sell and
then expect to receive some Of theil
own purchases for less than cost
And the Golden Rule is helpless
forgotten---kicked into the discard

Occasionally we see a sanctimon
ious eountenance in church Will
the mind within is devising mean
of skinning others out Of their har,

The Golden Rule?
Why, the poor, decrepit old rul
is strangling three hundred an,
sixty-fve DAYS in the year.
It's coat of gold has turned t,
rust, and the once sparkling water
Of its purity are stagnant from dis
use.
The Golden Rule?
Can you point to a soul in all thi
wide world who in all things doe
unto others as he would have then
do unto hinP
Possibly we, too, are twisting tn,
tail Of the Golden Rule when W,

And yet we repeat, the Colder

we may at least practice a portion
Of that which we preach. We ma,

GERMANY MAKES DENIALs.
Statement Declares Not Linked With
Any Plan to Promote Cause.

The New York Times has received
the following authorized statement by
wireless from Berlin:
THE German government naturally
has never knowingly accepted the sup
port of any person, group of persons,
society or organization seeking to pro-
mote the cause of Germany in the
United States by illegal acts, by coun-
sells Of violence, by contravention of
law or by any means whatever that
could offend the American people in
the pride of their own authority.
IF it should be alleged that i'm
proper acts have been committed by
of the German govern
ment they could be easily dealt with.
To any complaints upon proof as may
be submitted by the American govern
ment suitable response will be duly
made.

U. S. Supreme Court Reverses OIym
pia Tribunal in Peter J. Con-
cannon Case.

ington.-Reversing the SUI
preme court of the state of Washing
ton, the supreem court has decided
the case of the Northern Pacific Rail
way company against Peter ]. Con
cannon and the two similar cases
grouped with it in favor of the railroad
and against the defendants.
The decision involves the law OF
1904 legalizing conveyance by the rail
road of lands within its 400-foot right
of way, under certain conditions and
affects many transfers in the state.
Concannon claimed land on the
right of way in Spokane county and
the state court gave it to him. The
supreme court rules that possession
for 10 years prior to the act of 1904
was necessary and that Concannor
had only six years possession.
