mind is quite as important; indeed it
is the better part of genuine courage.

liceman and a naval officer were soon

Had Traver not fired the shots it is

1t is the combination of heart and

SOUTH BEND. INDIANA, JANUARY 1s, 1915

newspaper advertising with keen at
tention
a great many people have formed a
regular habit of delaying purchases
until this time Of year. They know
that most merchants will give unus-
ually good bargains in midwinter to
save carrying goods over until an
other year. A merchant that does not
get into line and tell the public
through the newspapers what he is
doing at this time of year will find
his trade very slack. But a simple
statement of the good values that can
now be found in almost any enter
prising store will be read with eager
interest. The store will find that it is
doing an excellent business even at a
dull period.
Goods can't be moved unless the
public is told about them. A custom
er may go by the store every day in
the week. But If she does not know
that inside back on those shelves is
just the bargain that would appeal TO
her, the goods might just as we'll be
in Jericho. She goes home, picks up
the newspaper, reads about the special
value offered in some other store.
and on her next trip hunts out the
place that had the enterprise to seek
her patronage.
The merchant who does not adver-
tise pays a high price for the money
saved. Goods grow more unseasona-
bic the longer they stay in a store.
The proprietor is getting no profit on
them to pay his fixed charges. Rent,
interest. taxes, light, and heat, and
clerk hire expenses are running along
every day, and must be paid. The only
way to pay them is TO keep the goods
moving.
Goods held over until another sea-
son are apt TO become so shopworn or
out of style that they have to be sold
for song Goods we'll advertised and
sold during the season for which they
are bought go at a fairly good price.
and help the merchant close his sea-
son without loss.

Congress has done at least one i'm

SOMEBODY TELL WHY NOT.

Freight rates TO all portions of the
globe have advanced by from 10 TO
1000 per cent. President Wilson con-
tends that n government-Ow ship
line will remedy this but shall be run

der it necessary.
1t has been demonstrated that rail-
road rates can only be regulated by
government control. We cannot set
up an international commerce COM

owned ships. but we can have a fleet
of ships that could control ocean
freight rates through competition. Any
pool that cannot be broken by law can
be broken by the right sort OF com

Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-To excel
in any given line of endeavor one
must be like the successful vaude-
Vile performer-always on the alert
for new stuff.
Thus we have started our tale with
a generality, but those who stick
through the entire performance will
find out in due course precisely what
we are getting out.
Sen. Hamilton Lewis, il might as
we'll be stated without further ado,
is TO be our hero. He is a shining
example of what a man may accom-
plish by being ever on the lookout
for that which is neat novel, and
nifty; by seeking and finding; by OBJ
serving and absorbing. In a sense,
Lew is is the human up-tO-the-m min
ute But this did not just happen.
Verify, we are the carpenters and
sculptors of our own fortunes, and
James Hamilton Lewis's place in his
tory was not gained by mere chance.
He got where he is today in conSe-
Quence of deep thought; in conse-
quence of profiting by the experience
and discoveries of others; by gain
ing good ideas where'er he could.
For example: A few nights ago
Sen. Lewis strolled into a Washington
hotel dining room with a view to
making a purchase of food.
He paused at table to shake hands
with a friend, and while there was
introduced TO a number of g. DAs6s, in
cluding a prosperous business man
from Philadelphia named Bourne.
After Lewis had got himself seated
at his own table it began to sink into
the consciousness of Bourne that
somebody was staring at him. He
was being stared at, in sOOth, by
United States senator. The senator
was none other than Hamilton Lewis
Of Illinois.
Now, ii was the first time the Phil
adelphia visitor had ever been stared
at by a United States senator. The
thing was disconcerting. He felt of
himself to make certain that he was
fully attired and that nothing had
come unfastened. Everything seem
ed to be all right. but still the sem
atOr stared.
Bourne called his companions at
tention to the bit Of phenomena, and
all marvelled with him.
Hist" cried one. He's coming
over. Soon we shall know"
And it was so. Sen. Lewis left vic
tuals on his plate untouched and
walked briskly toward the Philadel-
phia man.
II beg your pardon" ne began, in
a tone so gracious as TO dissolve any
possible criticism II beg your par
don. / say. for my seeming imperti-
nence. But l have been noticing your
shirt. 1 can say 10 you without quail
ihcation that il is the only three-stud
shirt I ever knew To lie so nice and
fat. / once had a twO-stud shirt that
was very neat in that respect, but
never a three-stud shirt. Where. If I
may ask-again begging your pardon
did you buy your shirt?"
Sen. O'GOrman. though a rather ap-
proachable statesman. is almost re-
lentless in his dignity. In private COM
mittee meetings where other senators
relax and call one another by their
given names O'Gcrman is just as dig
nified as If they were sitting for a
moving picture. He still addresses his
fellows as Senator This and Senator
That.

like this:
