Educate the Buyer
From the Seattle Post.Intelligencer,

The field of craftsmanship has broadened tc
so great an extent that universities are now
teaching young men how to sell anything from
carpet tacks to bascule bridges. There arr
endless systems of craftsmanship. 1t is both
an art and science and is taught like oratory
medicine or law. The psychological side o.
craftsmanship is given much attention and poo,
human nature is stripped naked and held ur
for the class to gaze upon in all its uncovered
weakness.
This general recognition of the fact that the
selling cost of an article is as much a matter
of round hard dollars as the manufacturing cost
and that it is subje to the same economies and
the same approaches to efficiency is wise and
timely. Every short cut toward economy that
can be made is to the advantage of humanity
1t is not so very long ago that craftsmanship
was matter Of taking prospective purchaser
around the various saloons and cabarets until
he was pop-eyed and groggy, and then he was
turned over to some cool-headed individual to
sign him up. Showing the customer a good
time was a rather expensive way OF doing bust
ness; it had its own development until the enter
tainers ceased to even remotely resemble sales
men. But this systm was self destructive, be-
cause it was uneconomical, costly alike to buyer
and seller. The successful salesman Of today
is business man, pure and simple, with a
working knowledge OF practical psychology and
thorough understanding Of every phase of the
business he represents.
Salesmanshlp, however, is only one side or
the transaction. 1t takes two to make bar
gain. There must be buyer as we'll as seller,
and it would seem that the seller is getting all
the benefits of this commercial education. 1t
really should be co-educational. AS it now
stands, the buyer is at disadvantage, and must
do the best he can without any scientific aids
other than those he secures at the costly school
of experience. The buyer should not be left
dependent upon his empirical resources He,
too, should be taught something of the tricks
of the trade. Otherwise business is certain to
become lopsided. If craftsmanship is to be made
science, purchasing must eventually be made
one, from the bargain hunting lady Of the house
to the head of the department.
We cannot afford to make the salesman If
resistible and leave the buyer without any ade-
quate defense. If we equip the salesman with
psychology manuals of arms and tactics, we
should instruct the buyer in Notifications and
the tactics of defense. After all, there are more
buyers than Sellers

am of the opinion that Nebraska
will have a good big wheat crop this
year. The acreage was increased,
not because of the price fixed by the
government on the wheat, but be-
cause the farmers losses on the hogs
and cattle fed last year was SO
heavy.
The government promised the
farmers in November, 1917, that If
they would feed their corn-then
selling from $500 to $2.2O-they
should receive for each 100 pounds
of live hogs, the value of Is bushels

Distressing Russian Mess

Belated Associated Press dispatches from
Siberia tend to discount the roseate predictions
as to the speedy overwhe Ginning of the bolshe-
wiki. So far as fighting ability goes, the boil
sheviki, of course, cannot compare with the
American soldiers. One of the American
n1arksmen is reported to. have killed II boil
sheviki in one brief engagement, when the
Americans fought at tremendous odds. But
the bolshevk are in sufficient numbers to form
ambuscades and they seem determined to sur
round all small parties of Americans stationed
at isolated places for particular purposes 1t
is true that they have not, so far as known
and the last engagement reported took place
June 2S-succeeded in accomplishing much
But there is the disquieting news that the boil
sheviki are receiving the Cooperation of Rus
testation of friendliness to American and allied
troops. 1t is reported that some of these civil
ians >took an active part in the bolshevik attack
at Romanovka and that among the snipers
killed near the American camp was an elderly
man who had been relied upon as one of the
most faithful friends of the Americans and one
of the bitterest foes OF the bosheviki and all
their works
The Associated Press correspondent at Ro-
manovka, who spent some time in intimate as
ISOLATION with the American soldiers, found
that their yearnng for return home, heretofore
desire of the soldiers seemed to be to get re-
yenge for the death of their comrades. They
are now hating the bolshevk both as treach-
erous foes and as the slayers of their compan-
ions, and their hatred includes Russian civil
ians. 1t is improbable that all the civilians are
pro-bo,shevist, but so long as some have been
discovered giving the bolshevk aid and COM
fort, no confidence can be placed in any

Universal Protection for the Weak

By way of commentary on the peace treaty,
M. Clemenceau stated in letter to Premier
Paderewski, that in Poland special protection
for the Jews would be expected by the nations
signing the peace compact. This, in view of
the known race antipathies existing in the Near
particularly as touching the Jews in that part
of the world
The principle announced, taken in conjunc-
ton with the fiat denial of the appeal of the
Turkish delegates for a continuance of the
Turkish empire in Europe, is splendid evidence
that the makers of the worlds greatest treaty
of peace intended, from the OUTSET to put
stop to the persecution Of helpless races.
Thousands of Armenians, Gregorians, Jews,
Poles, Let's, Firms, together with thousands of
every named race that has appeared on the
cath, have been swept into eternity by ruthless
oppression and murderous prosecutions. The
world has progressed to point where COM
bination of the greatest nations and races calls
halt on such practice, and announces that
such crimes shall be no more.-Toledo Blade

Six-Cent Car Fare for Omaha.

The decision of the supreme court that the
State Railway commission should allow 6-cent
fare on the Omaha street railway is recon-
mendation rather than an order. 1t will be for
the commission to act upon, and it is probable
another hearing will be had. That the emer-
gency existing in 1918 still pertains must be de-
termned What will chiefly interest the citi-
zens is the ruling of the supreme court that
nothing in the Omaha charter gives the city
any right to fix street railway fares. This con-
tention having beeen settled against the city
makes all the more imperative the adoption Of
a charter that will give control over home af-
fairs, and remove the city from the disability
of having to go to Lincoln to settle points that
should be determined right here. Until a
home-rule charter is adopted Omaha will be at
the disadvantage of having to travel to the state
capitol whenever it wants to deal with matters
affecting its interests alone. The 6-cent fare
will be adjusted on its merits, but the main
point rests with the community.
