EXPLAINS PLANS
BOOSTING TRADE
Mayor John Berwald of Davenport
Outlines His Ideas to Mayors
McCOnOchie and Carlson.
FOURTH OF PATRONAGE AWAY
Declares That 25 Per Cent OF People
in >Tri-Cities Spend Their Money
With Mail Order Houses.

Arguing that between 20 and % per
cent of the retail trade in the trl-cltles
went to mail order houses and that 1t
is up to the newspapers to launch a
campaign for the education of the con-
sumner to trade at home, Mayor John
Berwald of Davenport outlined his
plan to boost tri-city industries end
business houses before Mayor McCon-
ochie, the Rock Island commission, and
Mayor Carlson of Moline here yes
terday.
Your plan is promulgating a tri-
city trade? How many people do you
think trade out of the trf-clties"'
Mayor Carlson asked Mayor Berwald.
Between 20 and 25 per cent" came
the answer.
Then where does this trade go?"
asked Mayor Carlson
ITO the mail order houses in Chi
cago," Mayor McConochie answered.
The mayors of the cities and the
retail merchants association, | care
not how powerful they may be, can
not tell the rich where to go. They
will trade where they please, l am
satisfied. l have had experience and
know that numbers of them will go
to the metropolis where they can see
lines of goods larger and more varied
Carlson said But your idea, Mayor
BerwaId, is worthy" he added Il am
for it and will do all ! can to help it
along. But l can't conceive of 25 per
cent of the people trading in the mail
order houses. 1 think the figure is a
little large"
NOt Exaggerated.
Mayor Berwald argued that the fig
ure is not exaggerated He stated that
the newspapers of the tri-cities should
help boost the plan. He declared that
the mayor should hold a meeting at
some future date with the business
manager of each newspaper in the
tri-cities present and that the ideas OF
the newspapers, backed by the city adj
agreed with Mayors McCOnOchie and
Carlson that the merchants could well
afford to take up the education of the
public themselves, but he declared that
the newspapers, back by the city ad-
of each of the municipali-
ties, would carry more weight and
argument to the consumer now trad
ing out of town than any of the mer-
chants could.
Mayor Carlson held that the mer-
chant has a vast amount of argument
with which he should be able to sway
any customer over to home trade
It was decided to meet at a later
date at which time the business man
ayers Of the newspapers would be
asked to be present.

NAVY FELL BACK UNDER T. R.

We know now when the decay of the American navy set in under
the maehcent influence OF Secretary Daniels and the Democratic admir-
istration as a whole. The report OF the general board o. the navy. dea'
ing with III fall from second rank among the fleets Of The world. gives
exact dates. On the basis OF displacement OF ships built and bulIing.
the United States dropped behind Germany in 1909. On the basis OF
displacement OF ships in commission we fell behind in 1911. For part Of
it is uncomfortable that Mr. Roosevelt should have been responsible for
the criminal neglect OF II navy. it must be assumed that the loss OF
second place in 1909 occurred after March 4th OF that year. lt. on the
other hand, a fleet does not go to pieces in a day. There are such Things
rs naval programs which must be drafted years in advance. If. therefore,,
in 1900 our navy had to make way Tor Germanys it nus be that fer scv-
crai years before that there was not that wise provision fr our nation nal

AS for the way in which our navy can regain second place. he general

ANYTHING TO BEAT WILSON"

An euphemsn OF the anything to-beat-W Wilson, slogan is Frank H.
1itchcocks suggestion OF any candidate who al win.
1--WE think President Wilson is a hard man to beat and that Mr.
Hughes nomination will make Republican success more certain than any
other is the way the former postmaster general and former campaign
manager Of President Taft puts it.
What matters the position of the presidential candidate in reference
national defense, a progressive or a standpatter. a high Or low tariff adj
vocate, a vigorous exponent OF militant Americanism or a meek and }owly
pacihst, so long as he seems to possess in a marked degree the essential
qualities OF a vote -getter? 1--WE want a nan nominated who al win,'
says Mr.. Hitchcock, and his understanding seems to be that Justice
Hughes is such a man.
Other Republicans having the same idea in mind. would have Colonel
Roosevelt a. the party standard bearer because they fear that if he should
not be nominated he would knife the ticket put TRIP by the Republicans,
or. at least, that he and his Followers would not give o the ticket the
pears that in the chaotic condition. OF Republicans party affairs at present
expediency, more than principle, is to be the shibboteth: the main ques
ton to be considered n the selection OF a presidential nominee is whetf-
or he gives most promise of being able o defeat the Democratic incun-
bent, who is admitted to be a "hard man to beat for reelection.
But neither all the Republicans ALI the Progressivcs subscribe to
the policy Of anything to win! Some of them ar determined to have
Roosevelt or a fight; some O, them would rather have a fight than nave
Roosevelt, and the wounds Of 1912 are o yet healed. So far it is all
tumble and confusion, but the note which sounds 1oudest in the general
clamor is anything ITO beat the mar who is realized to be extremely hard
to beat-San Antonio Express.
