THE POLITICAL SITUATION

While it is to re expected that a
larger total vote will be cast at the
election November than has ever
been cast before, that there will be
fewer straight party votes cast than
ever before is looked for at this time,
in the northern states, at least.
Wisconsin i'll particular is expected
to cast divided vote, not only on ac-
count of internal factionalism, but on
account of the wet and dry senti-
ments prevailing
With prominent republicans of this
state declaring that they will support
Cox for president because of his wet
tendencies and Mccoy for governor be-
cause of his opposition to so-called rad
icalism dry and progressive" demo-
Gratis will do just the opposite, by
voting for Harding and Blaine.
The political situation is the most
complex that has prevailed in a presi-
Dental campaign in many years. The
advent of the woman voter in this
campaign still further complexities the
situation and is causing not little
worry on the part of the democratic
state committee and the wet" element
of both parties i'll Wisconsin and the
nation, because the women, as body
of voters, are expected to give their
support to the dry candidates. There
fore it may be reasonably expected
that the greater number of the women
voters will vote for the Harding and
league Of nations issue.
If the women voters consider the
LIQUOR issue foremost in determining
their choice of National Candidates,
the same consideration will affect their
vote for the state and senatorial can
didates. For senator, LenrOOt stands
openly against beer and light wine"
propositions to nullify the prohibition
laws. The American Issue credits
Lenroot as being, next to V0lstead,
the most important man in Congress
for the drys." Thompson will draw
the vote of most of the socialists,
VETS non-partisan leaguers and dis
loyalists. With all the elements OF
hate and discord aligned against him,
LenrOOt needs the vote of every public
spirited citizen, man or woman.
John J. Blaine, LaFollette republi-
can. nominee for governor, is not a
pronounced booze friend like Th0mp-
son, but is getting the wet support
throughout the state, as Robert Mccoy,
democratic nominee for governor, has
declared himself Enthusiastically for
law enforcement, removal of sheritfs
and district attorneys who are lax, and
against legaliZing beer and wine.
Blaine is nOn-cOmmittal on this issue.
Many voters will doubtless forget
to vote on the Mulberger referendum,
but no one should do so, as it is i'm
portant Vote yes if you want the pro-
hibiti0n law of the nation backed up
by state law. If the Noes carry the
election. all liquor cases will go to U.
S. courts and the fines to Washington.
If you believe Wisconsin fines should
reduce Wisconsin taxes, vote Yes

SHALL MEN TREAT
WOMEN RESPECTFULLY?

We don't quite understand these
Alice Paul and Margaret Hildreth per
SONS who hang out at Washington a.
the leaders of a so-called "W0men's
Party" Miss Alice and Miss Mar
garet have decided to hold a c0nven-
ton of the party in February, a
which time they will take steps to pur
an end to the thing of men taking
their hats off to ladies and standing W
in the presence of women.
They denounce such gallantries as
pifling," and not becoming to the in
dependent new woman who now has a
vote.
To our mind the male individual who
shows respect to wOmankind, proves
that he is a real man. The fellow who
won't take his hat off to Il woman is
either an ignOramus or ruffian. OF
course there are plenty of them, es-
pecially i'll Europe, where women often
take the horses place at the pillow. In
America, respect for women is ma
tional trait, characteristic that
makes our men manly, gentle, two
listed humans.
We don't think Alice and Margaret
will get very far with their Kind OF
party Also we suspect their party is
one that they can easily carry i'll their
vest pockets.

WHO PAYS FOR THE ADS?

1t is common to hear "a non-adver-
tising merchant say that he doesn't
believe in advertising, but gives the
customer the benefit of the money he
saves by not advertising. Let us ex-
anime this statement and see how much
truth it contains.
Judicious advertising sells more
goods for the merchant, turns his stock
quicker and makes it possible, by in
creasing the volume of business to buy
in bigger quantities and obtain a big
ger discount Increasing the volume
of business and decreasing the selling

PERCENTAGE CONSOLATION

a fifty per cent drop in prices off
sets what has been 100 per cent rise"
Here is consolation, bushels of it, for
those who have looked and i'll vain for
the avalanching downward of the price
level. The Dry Goods Economist
comes to the rescue with the sOlace Of
mathematics. Productions expressed
in percentages don't tell all of the
story" it says THE reduction is apt
to appear much smaller than it actual
Iy is" Quite true and most sound
cost $50 were advanced to $50 we
would eXclaim in anguish It's gone up
100 per cent" But if the next day the
suit was reduced to its original cost
we would grudgingly admit that the
price had fallen 80 per cent.
Seriously, however, this difference is
something to deal with. The descend
ing percentages, based upon the higher
figures will be smaller than were as
cending percentages. A reduction of
p per cent from the top price means
halfway back to the bottom price,
though it calls for little mental
arithmetic TO get the meaning. Goods
that cost 60 cents and went up so per
cent would bring 90; but a forty per
cent reduction from that figure would
mean drop below the original price.
What price reductions we get will
show small percentages but they
mean more in falling, than in rising.
What we have got to be contented with
is having the percentage on the right
side.

In view of this situation and the fact
that the office of sheriff requires, among
other qualifications, those of age and

for some other candidate at the prl-

WHO COPIED THIS GRAFT

The Old Hickory Powder Plant, To-
Gated at Nashville, Tenn, cost the tax
payers of this country $90,000000, and
produced no powder whatever for use
in the war 1t has just been sold to
private concern in Nashville for $780,
600. or less than four per cent OF the
original cost. AS junk alone it should
be worth more than that, unless the
$50, 1000, 900 credited to it was never put
into it, but went like the airplane
funds. The transfer of possession of
this property is made in the very midst
of political campaign in which the
Wilson administration is being tiayed
alive by the people who are enraged at
the criminal extravaganza Of Messrs.
Wilson. Baker. and Daniels in the con-
duct of the war. The sale indicates
the contempt in which the voters are
held by the Washington autocrats, who
continue in their wastrel course with
the calm deliberatiOn of a burglar
wrapping up the silverware of al
abandoned city home. 1t would appear
that the administration and its pets
have agreed to make a record cleanup.
If they are defeated November md,
they can figure on four months of loot
ing, and if, through some third heavy
visitation of Providence, they should
win the elections, why, what have they
to fear as to consequences? The best
the public can do is to kick out the
hypocrites, and, Man Alive. when the
departmental files are spread before
the public won't there be ruction.

cost, a merchant will sell cheaper if
toners from his competitors, and also
increase the demand, as lowering the
price Of an article places it within the
reach of a larger percent of the people
and is thus stimulant to trade.
The price of commodity is lowered,
and the quality is bettered through the
medium of advertising. Take the auto
mobile as an illustration. Advertising
has made the automobile business. 1t
oyercame the prejudice that existed
against the machine and created a de
mand that enabled the factories to in
crease the output and cut the selling
price to less than five per cent of what
it was d few years ago.
1t is readily seen that the consumer
does not pay for advertising as the
advertiser sells cheaper than the non
advertiser.
If the consumer does not pay for the
advertising, who does pay? 1t cannot
be the advertiser, as advertising in
reases his sales, decreases his selling
cost and increases his profits. The
advertiser doesn't pay, because the adj
vertising pays him.
Then who pays for the advertising
The non-advertiser pays for the adyer-
Using done by his advertising competi-
ter All the business he loses to his
advertising competitor is part of the
price he pays. The nOn-advertiser and
the poor advertiser each in proportion.
pay for the ads Of the good advertiser.

more like man of the world than any one the girls had seen. To him innocent and beautiful little Cherry unquestion- ingly gave her heart. Upon the day that they announced their sudden engagement Peter Joyce realized his love for Cherry.
 Nor did it help matters when years afterward Peter married the more lovable, plainer, saner and more pratical Alix. . Perhaps, no one but Mrs. Norris could handle with complete success a story such as this. Redolent in every breath of the California redwoods and the life of the great western city, it is at the same time typical of all Amerrca. It is with out doubt Mrs. Norris greatest book.
 As study of the development of the two sisters it is an ample test of the au- thors literary ability. Cherry the ir- resistible little beauty who could only learn by bitter experience and Alix in every way different-tall. slender. ltyisn, loving outdoor sports, unsentimental and practical, yet with regard for love and the responsibilities that her love entafied which will force the admiration of the reader. Mrs. Norris has done many strik- ing characters. yet never a pair of Amer ican women so interesting each in her own way as these sisters.
 Heywood Broun, the noted New York Tribune critic says of Mrs. Norris book Sisters the following:
 "NoveIists make mistake, we believe, in endowing herones with too great a beauty. It comes between the reader and the heroine. In such cases we acwayS find ourself tempted to believe that the character in question is no real per son, but a young miss off a magazine cover. She is too complete to be interest ing. We would have felt more keenly the joys and the sorrows of Cherry if few tints had been omitted.
 Her beauty, as she pushed her plate aside and leaned toward him. writes Mrs. Norris. was so startling that Peter. lighted match half raised to fresh cigarette, put the match down aimlessly. and looked thoughtfully at the cigarette, and laid that down, too, without the faintest consciousness OF what he was do- ing. The day was warm and there was little dampness on her white forehead. where the gold hair chung to the brim Of the dropping hat. Her marvellous blue eyes were ringed with soft violet shad- ows, as if sooty finger had set them under the dark brown arch of the brows. The soft scurve of her chin. the poyish shortness of her upper lip. and the crim- son sweetness Of the little, earnest mouth had never seemed more lovely than they were today. She was youth incarndte, palpitating, flushed. unspoiled."
 Such person. it seems to us would be disturbing companion. II IS admit ted that she interfered with ePter's smoking. It is more than likely that 1t would even be difficult to read the morn ing paper with such Q person about she house And then, beyond and above all that, no woman who lived up to Mrs. Norris description. could possibly have a grain of sense."
