Branch of O. B.
C. for Bismarck

President Moothart of the Ozark
Business College was invited by the
Commercial Club of Bismarck to pre-
sent an offer to the citizens of that
little city, looking forward to the es-
tablishing of permanent branch COM
mercial school. Mr.. Moothart appear
ed before the club Tuesday evening
and explained in detail a proposition,
which, if accepted, would guarantee
the same full courses of study and
general grade of work done in any of
the business colleges. President Steel
of the Commercial Club appointed the
necessary committees on scholarships
and building, and these committees be-
came active on Wednesday, and at
this time, Prof. Moothart reports that
everything seems absolutely favorable
to the accepting of his proposition
which, if so, means that the school will
be organized and begin summer
term, June 5th, and then re-open for
the fall term in September.
Surely our neighboring city is to
be congratulated upon this squirt of
progressiveness, and we certainly
trust that it may be successful in Sc
curing one of these high grade train
ing schools, which means so much
for the boys and girls, in fact, for all
classes of people of that community,
Evidently the citizenship of Bis
marck has been taking notes of the
very fattering results secured by the
Moothart colleges, which have been
doing such high grade service to the
people of Pennington and Southeast
Missouri during the past eleven years,
so we are looking forward to hearing
in the near future that President
Moothart has definitely decided to-
organize and conduct one of these
branch schools in Bismarck.
We understand that the citizens of
Flat River are also calling for one Of
these modern business colleges, and
that Mr.. Moothart has been invited
to establish one there to begin opera
ton for a summer term beginning in
June. He reports that he is locking
over the field, and if he meets with
sufficient encouragement, the Lead
Belt shall also have one of these I'M.
t,ortant training institutions.
Surely the commercial school is Of
fering to the people a money-earniflg
training that is secured within a rea-
sonable time, and guarantees to the
one acquiring said work an easy, hon
orable livelihood, and the beauty Of it
is, that this educational equipment
may be secured within short time
compared with the years required IN
securing professional training.

AN OBJECT LESSON

The advertising manager of one of
the biggest mail order houses in the
country, in a recent talk before an adj
vertising club, gave some interesting
information on how such houses Sc
cured much of their business. Among
other things he said:
eve have bureau whose duty
it is to read each week the coun-
try newspapers from all over the
country. There is not paper of
any consequence in our trade ter
ritory that our bureau does not
get. This bureau looks over
these papers and when we find a
town where the merchants are
not advertising in the local paper,
we Immediately food that terri
tory with our literature. lC al
ways brings results far in ex-
cess of the same effort put forth
in territory where local mer-
chants use their local paper"
The mere reading of the above must
suggest remedy for the mail order
bugbear, which has long been an eye
sore to the retail merchant, and which
is constantly becoming even a great
er menace. Their business is built uI
and kept up-by advertising, and il
is but natural that they put forth
the greatest effort whever they fine
opposition the weakest. In other
words, wherever they see the greatest
opening, there is where they mos
quickly "slide in" The trading pub
lie is also a reading public, and it il
but reasonable to suppose that those
who talk each week, or oftener, tx
the buyer, through newspapers that
reach the home, are the ones who
are quite naturally in position to Sc
cure the public patronage.

he knew the Colonel would not sup.

The great hall fairly resounded with
applause when Mr.. Hughes proclaimed
his doctrine OF American rights on land

the Democrats TO "cajole the electo-

obstacle to progress, that obstacle was
higher now than when the present Ad-
ministration started its career.
There is not corporaPs guard IN

said Mr.. Hughes, but the nation must
be prepared to take pains to relieve
delicate situations. One way to do
that is to have State Department

REGULATION URGED
ON BOAT LOADING
Shipping Men Agree on Lesson
of Titanic Disaster.

Washington. Sept. Believing that
regulation Of bulkheads and load lines
for insuring safety 20 ships on the
Great Lakes and elsewhere is abso-
lutely necessary. about fifty steamboat
inspectors. shipowners, builders and
naval architects met Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld and other government
officials to-day to discuss the subject.
Secretary Redfeld, calling attention
10 the practice of overlooking on the
Great Lakes, said that the department
was powerless 10 do anything in the
absence of any law. II was his pur-
pose to keep his inspectors on the
lookout for such overlooking, with In
structions to urge the navigation in
terests TO put a stop 70 1t. Inspectors
will be expected TO keep the admins
tration informed Of every instance of
overlooking. and with information so
gathered Secretary Redfeld expects to
urge Congress TO put stop TO it..
Stephenson Taylor. OF New York,
president Of the National Organization
Of Architects and Engineers, said ship
builders. owners and architects all
agreed that some regulation OF bulk
heads and load lines was necessary,
particularly since the Titanic disaster,
but that the technical difficulties were
formidable.
Men from the Pacific Coast argued
against any restriction on the lumber
schooners there. as these vessels carry
most of their loads on deck. There
we're no instances. il was declared,
where any such vessel had gone down,
for the deck loads helped 20 keep them
up. Any regulation would drive these
vessels out of business.

Chagrin at Shadow Lawn
Over Defeat of WeSCOtt

rFron a stan CORES poudcn' o. Tie Tribune
Long Branch, y. j., Sept. 27.-There
is no mistaking the chagrin which the
denomination Of Senator James r. Mar
tine has caused the Administration.
President Wilson had let 1t be known
that the return of Senator MARITIME was
personally Objectionable 10 him.
Though there has been no break IN
the surface indications OF harmony
il has been no political secret that
many of the Democratic chieitalns
have been more than dissatisfied with
the leadership Of the President. Not
only do they resent being ignored IN
the drafting of party policy, but even
more they are angered by their treat
ment at the White House IN the way OF
patronage. That some OF those VINO
have suffered the Presidents diSpleas-
ure can still defy him in the strength
of their local organizations IS the IN
that is put on the victory
of MARITIME in New Jersey and OF Me-
Combs in New York.
Plans for a Presidential tour of the
Middle West, repeatedly rumored ana
then denied at the White House, again
took shape to-day following Chairman
Vance c. McCormick's conference with
the President. Dates for Omaha on
October 5, indianapolis on October II
and Chicago on October ~ were an.
nounced. and while nothing was said OF
on the intervening days, IL
is not looked upon as probable that the
President will return to Shadow Lawn
between these addresses.

PERKINS ATTACKS
WILSON SPEECH
President Has Hindered
Instead of Helped Ameri-
can Business, He Says.

President Wilson's optimistic review
Of Democratic accomplishments in the
way Of business reforms. in his Baltl-
more speech, brought a vigorous pro-
test from George ". Perkins yester-
day in the form of letter TO Joseph
p. Tumulty, secretary to the President
Mr. Perkins characterized the address
as can evident intent to make the peo-
pie believe something that was not
true" from beginning TO end.
Mr. Perkins calls attention TO the
statement of the President that the
business man no longer picks up his
morning paper in fear he will read of
some new prosecution under the Sher-
man antitrust act. Mr.. Perkins adds,
however, this is due 10 the fact that
fewer prosecutions have been insti-
,uted By the Wilson Administration
than under the Taft regime and not
because, as President Wilson evidently
thought, Of the existence of the Fed
cral Trade Commission.
The Presidents statement that his
Administration had done much to aid
in the expansion Of foreign trade Is
challenged on the ground that not
only had Wilson forbidden Americans
20 participate in the Chinese loan, but
had become so cntangled with Eng
land as 10 make it very difficult for
business houses 20 carry on business
with China Mr. Perkins said refusal
10 permit Americans 10 participate IN
the Chinese loans had prevented this
country from getting a foothold in the
rapidly growing trade Of the far East.
Referring 20 the Presidents suG-
Gested plan of running a government
owned steamship line for the carrying
Of freight until it becomes sufficiently
profitable TO turn over TO private en-
terprise. Mr. Perkins said:
"Of all the impossible propositions,
from a practical point of view, ever
submitted 10 sane people this IS
about the limit on two counts. First,
If the government is going 10 do busl-
ncss at a loss what is the practical
difference between that and granting a
subsidy to steamship company? Sec
ond. in his utter ignorance Of business
practices Mr. Wilson may believe, but
no one else does. that the day will
ever come when government-owned
shipping line doing business on a pay
ing basis will turn that business over
TO privately owned concern

JEWISH HOLIDAYS CUT
SURFACE LINE TRAFFIC
Shonts Denies Shortage OF Men
on the marlborough.

The slight falling of in the surface
car traffic in New York yesterday was
attributed By Theodore P. Shoats last
night not TO he influence OF the sym
pathetic strike, but to the fast that
many Of the motormen and conductors
on the lines were allowed TO remain
at home because Of the Jewish holi-
days. Thirty car crews, Mr.. Shonts
said. were absent on the New York
Railways Company system alone. and
other lines were affected. The presl-
dent of the Interborough promised a
return 10 normal service on Monday.
Mr.. Shouts also denied that the In
terborough was short of men in any
Of It's departments. On Friday, he said
l.275 men applied with the company
for jobs, and there were none 10 give
them.
Figures for surface car traffic yes
terday were as follows: Third Ave
nue., 1854; New York Railways. ga;
Union Railways, POP; New York &
Queens County Railways, 90. The
Third Avenue and New York Railways
companies ran cars till midnight
Others were withdrawn n sunset.

National Headquarters
Ignores MARITIME Victory

No one at Democratic headquarters
had an especially good word to say
Yesterday for United States Senator
James F. MARITIME, who beat President
Wilson's candidate, John W. Wescott,
about three to one in the New Jersey
primaries. Vance Mccormick, national
chairman. ISSUED statement on the
result, but Senator MARITIME was not
mentioned. Since Senator MARITIME had
a Misunderstanding with the President
he has been taboo with most of the
officials OF the Administration and ITS
adjuncts.
MIR. Mccormick denied the national
committee took any part in the pri-
maries, saying the committee never
takes any part in contests within the
party. He expressed the belief Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic ticket
chosen Tuesday would carry New
