NOTED FIRM BUILDS
SUCCESS ON HONEST
BUSINESS METHODS

To say that a firm is successful is a
sort Of commonplace remark these
days 1t is frequently heard; it has
become a commonplace saying, so
commonplace, in fact, that few people
give consideration to the true mean
ing of the phrase. 1t has become so
commonplace that it is frequently
misapplied. Success is not easily at
tanned, and in business it requires
that the individual or the firm shall
have established themselves in the
world of commerce and attained
reputation for honest dealing. This
is accomplished in many ways, most
frequently by giving to the public the
advantage of purchasing products that
are meritorious.
1t is in this way that the Chatta-
nooga Medicine company, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, has built reputation,
and has honestly attained the right to
be called successful Their product,
Cardui, is sold through thousands of
agencies throughout the world. It
has taken years to build up the sue
cessful commercial relations existing
between the Chattanooga Medicine
company and the drug trade. The dis
tributors of Cardui have been honest
and fair in their dealings with the
druggists, and have given the drug
gists of the world a product that they
in turn can and do recommend to
users Of this medicine. The result has
been that women who have used the
medicine have found it uniformly
good, and have recommended to 9TH
ers that Cardui be given a trial 1t
is woman's tonic. The Chattanooga
Medicine company has been success
ful. They are successfully distribut-
ing successful product 1t is right
and proper that the firm should be
referred to as a successful firm.
There are many such successful firms
throughout the United States, but in
every instance you will find that re-
suits obtained can be attributed to
honest dealing in the distribution of
a valuable product
We should discourage the common
place use of the phrase, ''so-and-so is
successful'. 1t should only be used
when actually merited.

ACTION UPON THE TREATY.

Resolutions calling for early action l lupon the Peace Treaty were intro duced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Lodge, Republican leader, S the Administration made proposals : that the time of speaking be limited and that the Senate meet earlier and |endeavor to rush action upon the question. Neither of these plans were accepted, but were tabled for action on Monday next. However, we believe that they foreshadow early action, that they are proof that both parties in the Senate are wearying Of the debate and will conclude it very soon
 Senator Lodge proposed that the vote should be taken on November 12 and stated that he was inclined to view Senator Hitchcock's counter #proposal of longer hours, more work, but no specified time for vote, as an Indication that the Administration Elid not care to set definite time for he voting. We are inclined to accept he senator's construction Of the Hitchcock resolution. It certainly seems that the great purpose of 1t #Mas to dodge the actual setting of a lime, although it may have been pre- Bented with the hope that action might be reached earlier than November F.
 The Democratic senator proposed hat no senator should speak more han fifteen minutes upon an impend- ng question, and the Republican member limited the time to one hour.
 It is obvious that both wish to hurry action and we suspect that Benator Hitchcock wants a vote karlier than November 12. His low bred time limit for debate makes that point There is d ray of light in the Eittlation-both sides realize that they have talked long enough, that little : nore may be profitably said about the Treaty The public wishes a settle nent, and a light has broken in upon he legislative body.

Growing d New Melon.

Our public service corporation- The Connecticut company-kindly tells us in @ half page advertisement what we may do in order to assist it in collecting the new tax it is about to levy. We are to do this under pain of being delayed in getting to our destination if we do not.
 In the first place we are to reverse the present procedure to which we have been educated and enter the cars by the front door instead of the rear In going out we are to leave by
 the back door.
 When the motorman presents us
 with a zone check upon our entrance to the car we are told we must be
 very careful to preserve it, as it's loss would doubtless bring down dire pen altics on the delinquent possibly a
 term in the penitentiary.
 After having announced it's inten-
 ton of robbing the travelling public,
 it has the unlimited gall to turn
 around and ask us to assist at the operation. After having inaugurated an unreasonably difficult system to operate, we are requested to put our selves out in order that it may prove effective.
 I am strongly of the opinion that the Connecticut company, notwith- standing it's power. will be compelled to take such legal tender money as the passengers have to offer. And that as yet there is no law compelling the passenger to overload himself with fractional cu1 rency or purchase the company's new coinage, made on the Chinese plan, however Tight and convenient it may be.
 It has been a rule of the company which, l think they have had enact ed into law, that no passenger shall stand on the car platforms when cars are in motion. Now, the passeng ngers are requested to hurry forward, pay the tax levied and stand on the plat form ready to climb off the instant the conductor has secured the booty for the company, and grants them permission by opening the door. The convenient paper tickets hith- ] erto in use will be abolished and Con- 1 necticut company money used in ! their place, if the passenger so desires l I presume there will be no objection ] to these being strung on a string and worn as a necklace if it is so prefer
 red. Provision is made for this use ! by having the coins perforated. l It l1as been said, though not vet | officially confirmed, that there will be
 no extra charge for heat during July
 and August.
 Smokers will, doubtless, be accom- 1 modated on the rear platform as usual regardless of rules and reeula- l tons.

in a trolley line that the people do not put there. The entire business is purely public service. Let us take measures to run over our own buSi- ness men through tho state or the municipality and nominate and elect men to our state legislators and city councils who stand right on this question.
 We are ready to pay for the honest cost necessary to supply our own needs. We do not wish to continue furnishing melons for a few sharp rogues to deVour with not a bite for ourselves. However much interested individuals lie about the failure of public enterprises, the fact cannot be successfully disputed that railroads honestly run by municipalities arc a success.

FRANCE AFTER BROTHERS.
Will Try to Compel Return of Money
 on War Contracts.

Paris, Nov. 1, (By tho Associated Press. Com missions instituted by the senate and chamber of deputies for the purpose of looking into war contracts between the state and pri- vate firms have concluded their inves- legations and deposited their findings. One of their first duties or the new chamber when it convene sWill be to take legislative measures necessary to obtain from firms sums amounting to O,00O.00O francs which the commits sion say would leave the firms "a nor mai profit on their war contracts.
 The senate report estimates that one firm alone would he called upon to re- turn to the state over 2,50O,000 francs. Airplane and motor manufacturing 2 concerns are among those mentioned in the report for sums totallng- well into tens of millions of francs.
 All the firms mentioned have signi- = fled their intention of defending them selves against surrendering any of their profits.

more patriotic group of citizens by adopting plan of training.
 Of course the camps wherein the young men will train must be perma- nent and we'll built as well as perfect ly equipped. In this way we may was undergone at army cantonments after the first draft. The nasty work upon these centers, the inability, many times, to get the proper equip ment was responsible for much trou- ble that may be eliminated in times of peace by careful forethought.
 Providing that the boys are trained we believe that there will be no trou- ble in raising a great army Of voluh- teers in time of war. This could not be done in 1917 but the fact that the army was an entirely new propoSl- tion to the greater number ot our men had great deal to do with It. Therc were many men who went to camp with a fear of military life, with dread in the back of their minds that they could not formulate, but who re- mained a few weeks became familiar with the routine, and were soldiers of the first rank, eager to get across, eager to fight after they had found that they might adapt themselves successfully to the life. There are many now that will not voice the ap peal of army life that is away back in their consciousness there are many that are openly cursing it out. But there are lot of these that would get back in again at once if the cause was just. Particularly those that did not get into action, and did not want to at the first of the game, are eager to try it out. The same would be the result of a training period

] HAVE MADE SONGS.

Though I have made you many a golden song, Hymning your lovelincss in artfuI rhyme, No one of theso but does your beauty wrong, And stands a libel for all listening time. Dusks, l have said, are clouding through your hair, And earth's old tWilights finger where you are. Dreams, l have said, have made your eyes a lair For 1argess brought from some old ruined star. Yet, all of this is but a faltering art Of futile words that strain beyond their reach; And still about your image in my heart, Trembles the cloistered silence closed to spech- A templed shrine, a dim and holy place. Where no least word profancs your lifted face.

Sam Bcrkowitz Tells About Sugar
 New Britain, Conn.
 October 31, 1919. Editor Herald:
 The undersigned wishes to make a statement in reply to your article in a recent issue of the Herald wherein you state you are going to let the public in on something sWeet-and that the writer has in storage 75 bar rels of sugar in the H. R. Walker company's storehouse. This is all ab- solutely true. Now, if you did state that this store was without sugar dur ing the months of June, July and August that would be also true, as I was without sugar during these months.
 I purchased the sugar in question last May. and received the shipm ent last month. I usually carry from 100 tons to 175 tons which is about 630 barrels and which was the amount I had on hand and in storage when the revenue inspector investigated my store just a year ago this time.
 As l have no wholesale license, cannot sell wholesale, but I have a big retail trade including the local restaurants, the Day Nursery and other public institutions, together with my own team trade and my cash and carry business. My present stock will last until about Christmas time, and I have purchased another ship ment which ] will not be able to get until shortly after Christmas.
 My object in writing the above is to explain to the public that my price on sugar has been retai1ed by me for 10 and II cents a pound and the su- gar cost me 9 F cents a pound, and l purchase for my own trade, and this trade uses all 1 am able to buy. Yours very truly

PORTO RICO FOODLIESS

As d result of the dockmen's strike find themselves very nearly foodlcss and the United States has received a decided protest from it's ward in the south against the conditions there. Instances of profteering will be sought down there and will be pun ished in the same manner as they would be in the states, otherwise th"~,. has been no move made to alleviate the plight of the Porto Ricans. They claim that flour has nearly doubled in price and other imported provisions have risen apprcciably. It has been found necessary to place the Utted States garrison in the islands upon a ration of rice.
 The dispatch of ration ship, load ed to the guards, with the required provender, is the logical solution of the difficulty, but this has not been done because of the shortage of freight handlcrs rather than the in ability to spare the supplies. At first
  blush it appears as though the Porto Ricans arc decidedly up against a rather tough proposition.
 However, the people on the island have enough food of a native variety to keep them from actual starvation. Cocoanuts, bananas, pineapples and d variety of semi-tropical fruits may form their sustcnance for a while without too much self denial. They are to be envied for their supply of sugar, in a semi-refined state, and enough coffee is grown to export in addition to supplying the island. There are bright spots in their condition, though none of us would wish to live on fruit alone.
 The lack of coal for their industries 1 is liable, sooner or later to mean a 1 greater difficulty than they now face, 1 providing the coal strike is of any l consequence. There is none or the 1 stuff procurable on the island and most of that which is used is brought 1 in ships from the United States, mak- ing it's price very high, even in ordi- ] nary times It is not largely used for l heating purposes, there is no need of artificial heat, but for generating l power for public utilities. The sugar , "centrals,' or mills, do not use coal 1 but burn the discarded pulp of the sugar cane in their boilers. Wood is l very scarce, the peculiar growths lending themselves very little to the l gen erating of heat
 We may hear from Porto Rico soon on the coal, meanwhile we advise them to be content with their native pro- 1 ducts and hope that. we may be able l to send them four and other foods later on. As for the coal--who knows 1 what is to happen?

MILITARY POLICY

John J. Pershing, general of all of his ideas on our army of the future before the Committee on Military Af Fairs of the House of Representative Yesterday His requests should meet Knitted States as he is probably moro qualified to speak than any other per on in the country. He is. thoroughly : n touch with the size and desires of foreign military machines, knows Mexico and her outlaws, and probably recognizes that sooner or later Mexico Twill be the target of an invasion as punitive measures for the criminal ,cts which she seems bent upon keep ng up.
 For a permanent military force he Recommends that we keep a standing 1 army of not more than 300,00O men, aver three times the number of sol 3 3iiers that we had before the war, but nearly 100000 less than the General 6taff is in favor of. This force, he be- ieves, coupled with d reserve of men rained to the military life in their Routh, would be sufficient to cope with any invasion and great enough to in &Bure victory on an expedition of pun shment It would also provide men For an internal guard in case of trou- pie
 The General favors the establish
 raining for all boys of nineteen and Specifies six months as the period of that training. Thus we would have a potential force of many million men 10 fall back upon should the regular brmy be too small for any purpose. In hddition, the benefits to the youth of Ehe country would be very great Their #nealth, ideals, discipline and patriot sm would be greatly improved.
 We are inclined to agree with the eader of the A. E. F. upon the subject bf military training. The youth of nineteen may well spare six months bf his life to be spent in outdoor sur 'oundings, at interesting work, and
 he learning of a "trade' that may be lsed for his country's advantage All of us hope that there is never to be another war, but it is vain hope,
 we fear, League of Nations or no
 League. We maintain this hope, take
