ANSWER ENOUGH

Duluth Herald: When congress pass
ed the Underwood tariff bill, the Mag
ma Charta of American freedom from
tariff robbery, two republican senators
voted for it-Robert LaFollette Of
Wisconsin and Miles Poindexter of
Washington.
Though both we're bitterly fought by
the old guard leaders largely because
of this vote-though still more largely
for the generally progressive viewpoint
and the broadvisioned loyalty to the
common good that actuated it-both OF
these liberal republicans have been re-
nominated by republican voters in the
popular primaries.
That's answer enough, if answer
were needed, to the old guard repubi-
can attacks on the most intelligent,
most enlightened, most practi cal and
most successful tariff law enacted in
fifty years.

"GET INTO DEBIT URGES LOUIS
F. SWIFT

In the October American Magazine,
Louis F. Swift says that men should
get into debt. The writer goes on to
explain:
"Louis F. Swift, president Of Swift
& Company, the great Chicago meat
packing company, has the idea that
being in debt is the surest way to sue
coed. He urges every one Of his thir-
ty-fve thousand employees to get into
debt and to keep in debt, and he has
organized a system to encourage them
in this and to show them how to do it
profitably.
"'Get in debt for something of in
trinsic value, and stay in debt he
says. AS soon as you get one thing
paid up, buy something else. and get
lin debt again. Stay in debt-never
get out. -

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING CUTS

"Buyers of goods, whether advertis-

MT the advertising cause prices to be
higher? Doesn't it all come out of
that universal victim-the Ultimate

examination Of the per cent of the SELL

"The average cost of selling goods
which are not advertised is twelve per
cent.
"Instead of being burden on the
consumer, advertising is a boon to
him. Advertising takes off his back
half the burden of transportation from
the manufacturer to himself. The ad-
lvertisement is the lowest salaried
agent in the world. If this were not
true the best business men would not
be the greatest advertisers. If there
were cheaper way of getting to the
|people the news about their goods, they
would find it and use it.
"The misfortune of the farmer is
that he handles his goods in such small
quantities that he cannot economically
advertise, and one of the benefits of a
broad cooperation ought to be the pos
sibility of using for the products Of
the farm that cheapest and best of all

having aided business and outlined the
