IF a mail order buyer Is disappOlnt-
ed in his purchase, as he is very apt to
he when he compares the article upon
its arrival with the picture and flowery
description which appeared In the
catalogue, the wisest plan Is to take
what he gets and make the best OF II
for every time he sends an article back
to be exchanged, he is piliEg up the ex-
press or freight charges and even IL
the article is exchanged as requested,
the buyer is not apt to fare much bet
ter on the second attempt.
The mail order houses are we'll
aware of the fact that the majority OF
their customers will not go to the trou-
BILE and expense of returning an ar
ticle if it does not come up to their
expectations and as a result they can
work the substitution game to their
hearts content.
The home merchant. however, can
not do business in this way and, as has
been said, the majority of them would
not do it If they could. The home mer-
chant if he has not the article called
for, may Offer another with the eXpla-
nation that it is of the same quality
as the one for which the customer
asked. Good merchants nowadays even
hesitate to offer something lust as
good" to the customer especially when
the article called for is one that has
become Well-known and popular

manufacturer, but to attempt TO make
Il substitution without the knowledge
or consent Of the customer! Well, it
isn't being done by the local merchants
today.
Substitution Made Easy.
Substitution is made easy for the
mail order houses. also. by the fact
that they do not sell much of what is
known as "advertised' goods-that is.
goods that have been thoroughly adj
vertised by the manufacturers and
have become nationally known through
such advertising. A large part of the
merchandise which the mail order
houses sell purports to be manufac-
tured by them-although in most cases
little Of it is made in their own plants.
Much of this merchandise bears only
the name of the mail order house and
it is easy to substitute one article for
another without the customer being
any the wiser.
The methods Of the home merchant
naturally are different. With the great
development of advertising In recent
years much of the merchandise carried
by the retail merchant is advertised"
goods. These goods are Of familiar
brands, the names Of which have been
made famous by the national advertis-
ing Of the makers. This advertising is
q distinct protection to the buyer for
the latter knows when he goes into his
local store and asks for an article OF
this kind that he will get just what he
asks for If the merchant has 1t in
stock and that he will be told II the
article is not in stock. There is abso-
lutely no opportunity for the merchant
to put one over" on him, even II the
merchant had the inclination to do 50.

DEMOCRACY NOT ENOUGH

The orgy Of rapinc and murder
which has broken out in Russia is
evidence that democracy in itself
is not a guarantee of good govern
ment. I'm that unfortunate country
we see the rule of the demagogue,
backed by an ignorant proletariat,
in full flower. The results are
worse than the tyranny Of the most
grinding autocracy. The autocrat
as a rule at least makes some effort
at promoting efficiency, and main
tanning order and protecting and
stimulating trade and industry. If
he is ambitious, as was the Kaiser,
il is part Of his plan to do So Good
government is more a question Of
the spirit animating both rulers and
ruled, than of form. Even ardent
love Of country is a motive that,
like other virtues, can be carried
to an extreme which makes IT a
positive danger and curse. We see
this eXempliiied in the case of the
German Junkers, whose one passion
was love of Fatherland, any who
lived frugally and laboured inces-
sanity 10 promote Deutschland
Uber Allies The difficulty was that
their love for the Fatherland was
narrow and selfish, and made them
blind to the rights of other nations.
When il comes down 10 the final
analysis. It is not democratic lnsti-
buttons. but the spirit Of Christian
ity pervading all classes, that must
be the real basis for national and
international. peace and happiness
the spirit which teaches both men
and nations 10 love our neighbours
as ourselves" and TO do as we would
be done by. This is the only spirit
that will assuage internal conflicts
of class, as we'll as ensure interna-
tional peace. Some men seem bent
on reducing society 10 one common
place level, and they call this dem
ocracy. They cannot permanently
succeed in their efforts, even when
they take such drastic methods as
those now in vogue in Russia; and
if they could succeed, the world
would be neither So pleasant nor 50
happy a place in which 10 live. IL
was not without good purpose that
men were made with varying ideas.
tastes, aptltudes and capacities. 4
commonplace world would be
tame habitation for mankind. But
this is wandering from our original
point, which was that 1t is the spirit
of a people and its rulers that makes
a great prosperous and happy ma
tion, and not the form Of govern
ment. To fear God and keep His
is the whole duty
of the nation as well as Of man.
The fear Of God made England.
says Froude, "and no great nation
was ever made by any other fear.
