THE SUPER ATTRAC-
TIVENESS OF MAIL
ORDER CATALOGUES
Western Editor PHILOSOPHERS
on the Psychology OF
Their Appeal

The annual practice of the mall
order houses of flooding the coun-
trv with their catalogues has
nrompted the editor of the Wyanet
Ill.) Review to write the follow
ing which is reprinted from a
recent issue:
THE mail order catalogues are
flooding Wyanet and rural routes.
Thev are the large catalogues as
well as small ones, which are an
nouncing special sales. 1t is said
the mail order men watch papers
Of the smaller communities and
when they find the merchant IS
letting down on advertising, as IS
the usual proceeding after the
holidays, they Immediately flood
that territory with their advertls-
ing matter.
THE Review family does not re-
ceive these catalogues, yet the
writer never misses an opportun-
ity of getting hold of a copy and
reading it over. 1t affords an IN
spiration and a direct proof to us
that it pays to advertise.
"No one can read the description
of the goods and the prices at
tach without feeling that they are
worth more than what IS asked. so
cleverly is the advertising copy
written, and so completely does 1t
secure ones confidence that we
persist in insisting that if the
books contained only the descrlp-
tive matter (and no price, 80 per
cent of the readers would mentally
assure themselves that they coulo
not afford to buy the article des'
cribed. But the attached price at
once creates the conviction that
the article is a thoroughly gooo
value, if not an unusual bargain

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
KilAer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Problems of Conference.

In one sense, no doubt, there is no
need that should report to you what
was attempted and done at Paris. You
have been daily cOgnizant of what was
going on thereof the problems with
which the peace conference had to deal
and of the difficulty of laying down
straight lines of settlement anywhere
on field on which the old lines of in
ternational relationship, and the new
alike, followed so intricate a pattern
and were for the most part cut. so deep
by historical circumstances which
dominated action where 1t would have
been best to ignore or reverse them.
The cross currents of politics and of
interest must have been evident to
you. 1t would be presuming in me to
attempt TO explain the questions which
arose or the many diverse elements
that entered into them. shall attempt
something less ambitious than that
and more clearly suggested by my duty
to report to the congress the part it
seemed necessary for my colleagues
and me 10 play as the representatives
of the government of the United
States.
That part was dictated by the role
America has played in the war and by
the expectations that had been created
in the minds of the peoples with whom
we had associated ourselves in that
great struggle.

War Statesmen Agreed.

The statesmen of ali the belligerent
countries were agreed that such a
league must be created to sustain the
settlements that were TO be effected.
But at first / think there was O feel
ing among some of them that. while
1t must be attempted, the formation of
such "a league was perhaps u counsel
of perfection which practical men,
long experience in the world of affairs,
must agree to very cautiously and
with many misgivings.
1t was only as the difficult work of
arranging an all but universal adjust
ment of the worlds affairs advanced
from day to tday, from one stage of
conference to another, that it became
evident to them that what they were
seeking would be little more than
something written upon paper, TO be
interpreted and applied by such meth
DDS as the chances of politics might
make available. if they did not provide
a means of common counsel which all
were obliged to accept, common au-
thority whose decisions would be rec
Ognized as decisions which all must
respect.

Old Policy Meant Force.

War had lain at the heart of every
arrangement of Europe-of every
arrangement of the world-that pre-
coded the war. FESTIVE peoples had
been told that fleets and armies, which
they toiled to sustain. meant peace
and they now know that they had been
lied too that fleets and armies had
been maintained to promote national
ambitions and meant war. They knew
that no old policy meant anything else
but force. force always force. And
they knew that It was intolerable.
The patriot. (Glenmora, La.) 1918-1955, 1919-07-18
Saw Supremacy Of Right Periled.


The United States entered the war
upon different footing from every
other nation except our associates on
This side the sea. We entered it, not
because our material interests were
directly threatened or because any spe-
cial treaty obligations to which we
were parties had been violated, but
only because we saw the supremacy,
and even the validity, of right every
where put in jeopardy and free gov
eminent likely to be everywhere i'm
periled by the intolerable aggression
of power which respected neither
right nor obligation and whose very
system of government flouted the
rights of the citizens as against the
autocratic authority of his governors.
And In the settlements of the peace
we have sought no special reparation
for ourselves, but only the restoration
of right and the assurance Of liberty
everywhere that the effects of the set
Element were to be felt. We entered
the war as the disinterested champions
Of right and we interested ourselves
In the terms of the peace in no other
CAPACITY.

skeptlcaI Turn to League.


And so the most practical, the most
skeptical among them turned more
and more to the league as the author
ity through which international action
was to be secured, the authority with
out which, as they had come to see it,
1t would be difficult to give assured
effect TO this treaty or to any other in
ternational understanding upon which
they were to depend for the mainte-
nance of peace.
The most practical of the con-
ferees were at last the most really
to refer to the league of nations
the superintendent of all interests
which did not admit of immediate
determination of all administrative
problems which were to require a
continuing oversight What had
seemed counsel of PERFECTION had
come to seem plain counsel of neces-
sity. The league of nations was the
practical statesman's hope of success
in many of the most difficult things
he was attempting.
And 1t had validated itself in the
thought of every member of the con-
ference as something much bigger,
much greater every way than mere
instrument for carrying out the pro-
visions of particular treaty. 1t was
universally recognized that all the
peoples of the world demanded of the
conference that it should create sucl
a continuing concert of free nations
as would make wars of aggression
and spoliation. such as this that has
just ended, forever impossible. A cry
had gone out from every home In
every stricken land from which sons
and brothers and fathers had gone
forth TO the great sacrifice that such
a sacrifice should never again be
exacted.
1t was manifest why it had been
exacted. 1t had been exacted because
one nation desired dominion and other
nations had known no means of de-
tense except ornaments and alliances.
