The vetoing by Mayor Sweeley
Of the gas franchise allowed James
Mcmillan at the last council meet
ting while appearing rather hard
On the promoters is based on
good business judgment. Mr.. McMil-
Ian is an old pioneer OF this section,
and there Is no one whom the Times
would be more glad to SEQ get the
franchise when properly drawn to
protect the city's interests. Mayor
Sweeley points out in his veto mes
sage the fact that several important
details have been omitted. Mayor
Sweeley is in favor of giving the fran
chise but wants the details cared for
properly. He intimates that the fran
chise is blanket one, and does not
offer any compensation TO the city for
the use of it's streets and franchise
privileges. The Times believes that
the promoters of the company will
readily see Mr.. Sweeley's point, when
they cast their minds back over tht
troubles which this city has had be
cause of too much haste In the Civ
ing of the waterworks and electric
power franchises. The Times sincere
ly hopes that the company and the
city can mutually cooperate to bring
prosperity to both.

four to six hundred million dollars
does not sound big for this govern

by taxation in excess of the present

treasures in Belgium would be re

WHY THE COUNTRY MERCHANT
LOSES. TRADE

1--WE are having the experience here
that perhaps a number of newspaper
publishers are having. e., the local
business men criticise us for accept
will purchase very little of our space
themselves"
Thus runs the plant of a letter from
a New York state publisher to our ad-
vertising department, and 1t offers a
wide field for comment The writer
also sends in an editorial in his pa
per on the same subject. OF course
the fact that the local business men
grumble will not deter the publisher
from accepting out Of town adyertis-
ing, seeing that these local merchants
will not support their newspaper them
selves. Boosting local trade is part
of the publishers business, but he
cannot undertake to boost all by HIM
self He must have the cooperation
of the business men for whom, in fact,
he is doing the boosting. Furthermore
he cannot legally refuse any lawful
advertising. His columns must be
open to all legitimate advertisers at
the same rate for similar service.
On the other hand. the situation as
presented by this publisher shows that
newspaper owners have duty to per-
form in their buiness communities,
a duty which may not be light, but
which nevertheless when performed
will rebound to their own financial
benefit That duty is to educate the
business men to advertise 1t can
and must be done and is being done
by hundreds of progressive publishers

recently motored into town with ST.
in grain sack. It took bank Of
fiicals more than an hour to count the
money, which was largely in one-dol-
iar bills.
The farmer brought insthe currency
as result of a savings account adj
vertising campaign conducted by To-
cal bank. The farmer had done bust
ness with banks in years. OF course.
This man all that time had run the risk
of losing his money by fire or theft,
but that was not his only danger.
If you have some money lying idle,

deluged with multitude of opportuni-
J ties to "invest" it in speculative stocks
or securities which it is claimed Will
yield anywhere from s to so per cent

| AS a prospective investor with a
| limited sum available, you are apt to
feel that there is no safe investment
for you and therefore fail to increase
your income, and at the same time to
have your capital available in the
time of necessity. You will find that
everywhere the road is made easy for
/ you to invest your money, with accom-
modating guides and many sign posts.

a devious one, with no one in sight

publisher who attempts to educate
the business men OF his town has all
the argument on his side. He need
hardly use words. He can lay before
those whom he is teaching any news
paper from live business town, and
that newspaper will tell the story, for
it will be full of advertisements Of
local and foreign business men. Let
us quote for a moment from the above
mentioned editorial:
1.-THE country merchant deplores
the fact that the mail order houses are
making inroads upon his patronage.
How did they do it? Did they send
representatives into the rural COM
munities TO solicit trade? Did they
simply open their places of business
and wait for customers? They did not.
They obtained-not part, but all
of their patronage by the use Of print
er's ink They advertised. The av-
erage merchant does not seem to re-
alize even with this gigantic object
lesson before him, that the means en-
ployed by these concerns were also
at his disposal. Through the medium
OF the printed word they tell the pub
| lie what they have to sell. The ma
pority of the village merchants do
| not"
The above is another step in the
lesson which must be taught local non
advertisers. The fact that mail or
| der houses and other foreign adver-
tisers have gained all their business
through advertising must be told them
again and again In editorials and ver-
bally when their advertising is sohc-
tied 1t must be demonstrated to them
4 that there is not a prosperous bust
| ness concern in the whole country
| which today does not advertise. They
simply must be made to see the light
or they must go out OF business, fol
the business man who advertises will
sooner or later get all the trade ava,
| from the one who merely keeps 6
store and waits for buyers to come IL
without advertising.
We quote again from the editorial:
1.-THE non advertising merchant fire.
Quently advances the argument agains
advertising that every one knows
: where his store is and what he has u
sell He Is wrong. Every one doe
not know what he has to sell. II h
doubts this let him compare his pres
ent stock with that of five years, tire
years or even one year ago and not
the many new things he has on hi
floors and shelves, new thing that ar
the product of inventive genius or o
changing fashions. He keeps abreas
of the market changes, but all hi
customers do not; hence they do no
know what he has to SELL"
To which may be added the furthe
argument that In the larger cities o
the United States everybody know
where the big department stores are
: and still they spend hundreds of thou
sands of dollars every year in ad
vertising. Every person In New Yor
or Philadelphia knows where Wanna
makers is and what that departmen
: store has to sell, and still John Wanna
: maker uses a page every day In ever

he has is the house he lives in which
