A PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Although the psychological ele-
ment in the existing "slowness Of
liquidation" has been pointed out by
high authority, suggestions for the
cure of the trouble have been few and
mostly of the obvious kind which were
worn out by hard usage long ago.
Something fresh, original, and, as the
machinists say, directly connected,
is what is needed. The remedy must
take tight grip on depressed minds
and shake them into activity. Forced
smiles and airy persifage will not do
Our attention is arrested by let
ter which southwestern merchant
wrote to a Chicago wholesale house
relative to an account upon which he
would shortly have to make remit
tance. He requested that the credit
or demand immediate payment ir
the "meanest" letter that could be
turned out on a typewriter.
81 can take care of the money due
you,' he said, "and will pay it at ma
turity, but | want the mean letter tC
show to my customers telling then
that you are after me. 1t may in
duce them to loosen up and pay theii
debts"
Here is an attack upon psycholeg-
ical difficulty with a psychological
weapon. The writer Of the letter car
pay, but he does not wish to pay un
til the other fellow pays him. He
knows they can pay without forcing
and that they win pay simply out o.
sympathy for him if he can make
them sympathize. Hence his de
mand for "mean letter" to work up
on their minds and speed up collec
tions. We earnestly hope this prac
teal psychologist of the Southwes
gets his money and that he RENTS il
full and on time to Chicago.-St
Louis Republic.

"There was never before such a
demand for horses suitable for army
purposes" he said, "and foreign buy
ets are beginning to have some diff

The situation in Mexico is worse
than at any time since the present
revolutionary disturbance began.
Many of the channels of export and
import between Mexico and Europe
have been closed. The fact of Eu-
ropean war h Is made some Of the
Mexicans feel that the United States
would under no circumstances inter-
fere in Mexico. The withdrawal OF
our troops may accentuate this feeling.
With government still unsettled,
railroads dismantled, and ordinary
business concerns idle, the commercial
situation is very depressing. With
in the last few months one Of the pro-
testant preachers narrowly escaped
death at the hands of firing squad;
another was imprisoned on the false
charge of compelling his pupils to
salute the American flag; accusations
of incendiarism were made against a
third; two ministers have been robbed
of all they possessed, and one of the
local preachers has been shot. The
work of the church in Merico has gone
ahead, but it done so in the face OF
fearful obstacles.
