l wouldn't want the State street
stores to help me sell The Day Book
to readers at loss by making up the
deficit with advertising revenue And
l don't want small merchants outside
the loop to do the very same thing,
though in smaller degree.
1 don't object to any other news
paper taking advertising. AdVertis-
ing has its value, of course, and to
the newspaper reader as well as the
advertiser. But the big fellows have
all the advantage when newspapers
sell to their readers at a loss; for
then the profit must come from adj
veTtising, and when a paper runs up
to 100000 circulation a day, the rate
goes so high that only the loop
stores can afford to buy space and
the little merchants are kept out by
what, to him, is a prohibitiye rate.
If newspaper publishers made profit
off their readers, advertising rates
wouldn't have to be so high.
Yes, we're moving fast. The big
mail-order house has made hard
picking for the country merchant.
And newspaper publishers are won
dering how in the world they can
make the mail-order houses adver-
tise. What would happen if Sears
Roebuck OF Montgomery Ward
should open a big local store on
State street and compete with the
other big stores, advertising with
catalogues instead of in the news
papers? I just throw this out to
show that the advertising game may
put itself out of business by over
playing and running the rates up too
high. And it isn't altogether an idle
dream. am told it has been seri-
ously considered. The small mer-
chant outside the loop is driven out
of the loop press by high rates for ad-
veTtising. He tries to meet it with
window displays, small catalogues in
the form of handbills, etc. In the

On this subject Frank G. Odell, member of the executive committee
of the Farmers National Congress and editor OF the Nebraska Farm Mag
azne, recently said:
"A nationwide railway strike would have paralyzed every American
industry and precptated a panic such rs has eve been witnessed in the
history of this country. The farmer provides the necessities of life Tor
Americas millions and multiplied millions overseas. A strike would have
dsorganIzcd the farmers market, destroyed and wasted the products of
his toll and would have brought him ace to face with an economic o
dton from which he could not have recovered for years.
LET the farmer get the record straight. He faced this crisis WHICH
threatened him with incalculablc financial loss. There va II o law in
force to compel arbitration between contendng forces who refused to
yield to voluntary arbitration. The president and congress performed
their inevitable duty for the protection OF the public. For this act Presi-
dent Wilson is denounced by those who offer n o suggested remedy to
meet such a situation had they been in power.
"On the whole, has not the farmer good reason to thank God that
Woodrow Wilson was in the White House with nerve and sanity enough
to stop a national calamny?'

A DIFFERENCE

1t is announced, saws the Anaconda Standard, that President Wilson
will do very little speaking in advocacy of his own candidacy for another
term as president. He will make no extended tours and will confne
himself to occasional addrcsses, in some of the eastern cities. In the few
speeches which he has made the president said things that were we'll
worth listening % but he has INDUCED in ne abuse o the rival candidate
for the office of president. He has spoken of Mr.. Hughes uniformly in
the highest terms.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hughes is making n big tour after another
and talking all the time. And most of his speeches are devoted to attacks
on Mr.. Wilson. This may be considered justmab1e inasmuch as the presi-
dent is the nan who has been doing things and Mr.. Hughes, having done
nothing, ar only crnicise. But the presidents course will strike a great
many people as being much the more dignihed and more fitting to the
high estate of president OF the United States.
Hughes has not yet been heard from nm the suhmarinings off the
Massachusetts coast. Following his judicial training he is probably
awaiting to consult the proper "authoriies."
There is but II thing Candidate Hughes has not criticised Presi-
dent Wilson for and that is not putting in tmc-a full eighth hour day,
