A System of Graft

Don't you remember how much
talk you heard of the economy the
government was to practice when
the railroads were taken over; how
the high salaried officials were to be
trimmed; salaries cut to a minimum;
and numerous high salaried jobs
done away with But now after an
investigation some light is thrown
upon this subject and it appears
that the widely heralded economy
that the government was to augu-
rate in the management of the roads
was all bunk" and that there are
quite a few railroad officials still
drawing salaries of $4,000 per year,
and unlimited numbers of them
drawing from $4,000 to $4,000
per year. Ii may be possible for
the government to operate the rail-
roads, telegraph and telephones
cheaper than individuals, but before
it is done the entire political system
of the nation will have to be revolu-
tionized. The system of graft that
is prevalent must be eliminated be-
fore it can be done. II can't be
done under the present system

City SaleSmanship

A lady who returned the other
day from a visit to a large city
where she did some shopping. was
giving her impressions of the kind
of service she got in the stores Of
the big town. She spoke particular
ly of one place where she felt she
had very poor attention. She be-
lieved the reason to be that she was
not dressed stylishly enough.
She had on a shirt waist and
skirt of refined appearance and ex-
cellent quality. But as she failed
to present herself in the latest type
gown, the clerks as she believed
were discouTteous and inattea:ive.
The store referred to was not one
supposed to be exceptionally ex-
pensive or aristocratic But the
clerks seemed to have acquired the
big city taint of judging everyone
by their clothes.
The big city stores have very high
expenses. They pay low prices to
a great deal of their help to Offset
their costs. They have large num-
bers of fluffy haired and empty
headed little upstarts, who offer
adulation to people whose appear
ance indicates wealth and who
maintain an Indifferent air toward
others. Similarly the mail order
houses hire great manv young
people who have had inadequate
business training, and whose mind
is on their pleasures rather than on
making a serious effort to render
service.
In Monroe City where the clerks
are our own young people. intimate
ly associated with the life of the
town, earnestly desirous to win the
favor of all types of people. condi-
tions are very different.
The clerks are carefully trained
that they must give just as good at
tention to the woman who is wear
ing last years gown or to the one
who has a shabby dress of unknown
age, as to wealthy patron. They
find pleasure in helping people of
struggling circumstances to solve
their problems.
