large consumers of raw material have been able to buy much more cheaply than other consumers, giving them an unjust advantage over com petitors. Big buyers have made a practice of playing concerns against each other and virtually brow-beating them into low "quanti,y" rates, which frequently are below the price of production.
 This practice is similar in prin- ciple to the old rebate system that the railroads formerly aranted-or were forced to grant-big shippers. Years ago an outraged public opin- ion and the courts put a ban upon this practice; but as intimated it still per sists in principle in number of oth- CT industries.
 The most recent example of tnis was brought to light in the neWspa per industry. Certain great metro politan journals, running up to 20 pages every issue, were using up an enormous amount Of print paper. Publishers of smaller papers were often set to wondering how they could do it in view of the prevailing price of print paper. It vas learn ed authoritatively however, that these tremendous consumers of rrint paper paid only fraction of the cost of print paper that smaller consumers mad to pay.
 And we believe that what the big fellows didn't pay, the smaller fry made up for them in an icreased price.
 Costs and profit must come from somewhere-and if the big consumers pay price only covering the cost of what they consume, the smaller fel- lows pay the profits on what the larger consumers use.
 It is sign of the times that the federal trade commission is doing great service in discouraelng such business practices.

BUSINESS WHAT MADE TT.

Is business so-So?
 Then make it go-go.
 The way to set business is to in terest potential buyers.
 The way not to get it is to think potential buyers will find you with out an invitation.
 They don't attend parties that way: why should they utilize time and en- ersy to attend your business party without the invitation?
 A questionnairc sent out recently to national advertisers brought 1t5 replies, 50 of which, or 3i per cent, saying that they have increased their advertising appropriations for 1918. SiXty-two or 43 1-2 per cent, will spend the same amount as in 1917: 13, or nine per cent, cut down their appropriations; 20 or 13 r. per cent had not yet decided upon their

WORLDS GREATEST SACRIFICE.

We hear great deal about the need for sacrifice in these parlous times of world conflict One fore most rich man has gained much com mendatiQn by the fact tEat his fn- come is only 75 per cent of what 1t would be if there were nowar. We hear other statements from men not rich that they are sacrificing good W part of the previous rate of say ings because of the demands of war work and the increased cost of living
 But what is the sacrifice of money and position compared with the suipr reme sacrifice of the men in the trenches?
 The Supreme Teacher has said that greater love no man can show than that he die for his friend.
 And greater love. greater sacrifice no one can show than giving up his life on the altar of his country
 Compared with the brave fellows in uniform, the alleged sacrifices of the rich and poor at home are as nothing.
 Don't mention them; it sound7 cheap.

PATRIARCH OF MARYLAND"

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 16.-Tomorrow will be observed as the hundredth an- niversary of the birth of Matthew Tilghman, known as the Patriarch of Maryland" and one ofthe most con- spicious patriots of the American re- olutionary period.
 The Tilghmans of Maryland have been among the most distinguished families of this State for 250 years, and every generation has had a con- spicuously worthy representative of the name.
 The first Tilghman to settle in Amer ica was Richard, an eminent surgeon of London, who emigrated to Maryland in 1860 and settled the Hermitage, which ever since has remained in the possession of his decendants. Matth- CIV Tilghman was a grandson of Rich ard. From the beginning to the end of the struggle for independence he was heart and soul with the cause of the colonies.
 He was one of the richest and most influential men in Maryland. had been commander of a troop of horse for protecting the outlying settle ments from the Indians, and one of the "worshipful, the commissioners and justices of the peace for Talbot county"
 From 1751 to 1777, a perod of 25 years, he was member of the house of delegates. In 1777, when the prov ncial government was superseded by the state organization, he resigned his seat in the continental congress. to incial government was superseded by which had been elected by his state, to 1 take his place as member of the sen- ate of Maryland.
 Of the convention that framed the first constitution of the new state, Tilghman was chosen president. He had been chairman of every delega tion that was sent by the revolution ary convention of Maryland to the continental congress, and he was sit ting in congress when he was summon ed to take the presidency of the state constitutional convention. If he had not thus been called back to Maryland he would have signed the Declaration of Independence. He had been con- sistent and persistent advocate of that instrument, both at Philadelphia and Annapolis.

WOMEN LEARNING POLITICS.

It has become apparent in tAe last few years that women have learned Considerable about politics and that they know how to make their knowl- edge work and when it will do the most good.
 The manner in which the women of Kansas recently got what tneE wanted from an unfriendly leeisla- ture proves the point.
 Kansas women, given the ballot in 1912. the following year asked the legislature for maximum hour and minimum wage law, among other things. They got plenty of promises before election and few performance cs later.
 The next election they practically banded together and effected the de feat of many legislators who had been unfriendly to them, with the re- suit that last year they brought about the passage of laws for their benefit and the improvement of their indus trial and economical condition. Instead of going for the nassase of a maximum minimum law outright they agreed to a commission of in vestigation--just like men do to gain their ends.
