JUST ADVANCE INFORMATION.

The Sun is being chided, as it were, by bro ther editors of the republican faith, lest we spill all the beans and the democrats win all the em- oluments in 1922. Our idea is much the reverse. Under present conditions the party is going on the rocks and we have very wholesome desire to prevent such a catastrophe. Much of the real good dope our democratic brethren are now ga- thering is being exploded in advance of their chance to tell the voters next fall all about it for the first time. At least few real republicans will be able to say that they pointed out to the king and his few cohorts where the trouble was in the rank and file of the party, and, because theyheeded it not and were willing to rule or go to pot-they went to pot.
 Don't mistake it brother nor believe the lov- ing smiles of our democratic brethren of the quill for they are now sharpening their broad axes for the fair haired Emperor of the High wayman's department whose will knows no law, and to whom the governor must bow, or at least does make his obeisance at present.
 The record is all written up to date and it is up to the republican party to stand on it, legis- ative interference and all, or repudiate it while there is yet time to convince the people of the state that they had no intention of building any ornamental cement thrones and imposing Mad OK thereon.

THE MAIL-ORDER HOUSE SYSTEM.

we have bureau whose duty it is to read the country newspapers from all over the coun- try. There is not paper of any consequence in our trade territory that our bureau does not get. This bureau looks over these papers and when we find town where the merchants are not ad- vertising in the local paper we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It aiways brings results far in excess of the same effortput forth in territory where the local merchants use their local papers," said Herman Rosenfield, ad- vertising manager for Sears, Roebuck & Co.
 With this sort of testimony staring country merchants in the face all the time, who can blame newspaper men for getting bit impatient at them when they fail to take advantage of their opportunities, comments the Chamberlain (S. D. Register.
 It has been proved time after time that the one sure way to get business is through news paper advertising.
 And yet, country merchants continue to side step it, and try some schemes" of some sort, and generally finish with declaration that lad vertising doesn't pay" and blame all their mis- fortunes on the mail order houses.
 Country merchants should make advertising real part of their business and give it real at- tention, as the mail order houses do-Fourth Estate.

A LITTLE MATTER OF TRUTH.

The New York World prints prominently on it's editorial page a communication from Brook lyn Consumer" who says
 "The reformed candy man who frankly ad- mts profiteering 300 per cent is just one step in the right direction, but what very instructive object lesson is contained in this wholesome news for the old reliable goat (the consumer), the case hardened victim of many previous tariffs, but of none so vile as Fordney's latest extortion un- limited"
 A little matter overlooked both by the con- tributor and the World is that this 300 per cent candy profiteering took place not under the oper- ations of the Fordney or any other protective tariff laws, but under the existing Underwood non-protective tariff measure.
 Under the present non-protective tariff law there has been more profiteering more oppress- i've exploitation of the consumer, than the Amer ican people have ever before experienced or even dreamed of as possibility. It has demonstrated the total lack of relationship between tariff schedules and prices to the American consumer. Yet there are actually people still parroting the old phrases about the high cost of living being attributable to protection!

We don't believe that Secretary Henri Behotiguy, private secretary to Governor Camp bell, ever gave out the report that all the wires in the north were down because his chief was attending the snake dance. However, while the snake dance was a success as usual, the roads did not approve much of travel.

NOT PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL

Following the inauguration of the democrat ic administration in 1913 and the enactment of a democratic tariff law, there was period of de- cline in industry due largely to the fact that the United States was increasing its imports and de- creasing its exports, giving more employment to foreign and less employment to American labor. There were long lines of unemployed getting free food from bread wagons and soup carts. Presi- dent Wilson's explanation of the depression was that it was purely psychological There were 100000 men out of employment.
 Tt is said that there are four million men out of employment now, but the republicans make no claim that it is purely psychological condition We admit that the present condition is due to number of very definite causes chiefly reaction from war conditions, but accentuated by the waste and extravaganza of the Wilson regime, the heavy taxes necessitated by that ex- travagance, the defation policy adopted by the democratic federal reserve board, the scrambling of the railroads by the McAdoo management, and the patelnalistic policies pursued by the democrats during all their eight years of rule.
 The present condition is not purely psy- chologicaP and neither was the depression that followed the adoption of free trade policy in 1913. There was very real cause for the de- pression that afflicted the country during the first two years of the Wilson administration and relief came only when the war furnished this country with unprecedented markets at unprece- dentaa prices with no competition from abroad The democratic administration was not required to do anything to get the nation Vur of its diff culty then.
 "There is also real cause for present con- ditions, but apparently nothing but hard work, sound legislation, and wise economy on the part of the administration and the people will restore the country to prosperity"

STUART'S AN AMUSIN' CUSS.

Under the heading of Making Plans to Silence Colonel Breen," he has the following nightmare in the Prescott Courier:
 Editor Heiner of the Superior Sun, who was among the first worshipers at the Cameron Shrine, last week came out with the statement that Governor Campbell assuredly would be the republican nominee for the United States senate next year, and that State Engineer Maddox would be nominated by that party for governor. It is realized by the G. O. F. that this will not be pleasing to Colonel Breen and few others of known influence, but they have figured out 8 scheme to silence the colonel and make him keep quiet, , ,- t..a 's
 According to reports from Phoenix, it is planned to give the colonel the empty honor of running against Carl Hayden for congress-if he will agree to wear goatskin during the cam paign; if not, they will try to shut him up by making offers of appointive ofice
 "The colonel, however is rather belligerent just now, and for several reasons, chief among which is the fact that considerable printing which is given out without bidding, such as the blue book and the game laws-has been handed out to other republican newspapers of question able influence, while he has been given nothing It is understood that he is compiling figures of this work, what it was and how much was paid for it, with the intention of either publishing it. or threatening to, should better deal for him not be forthcoming in the future
 ''The waters are getting muddy, and there does not seem to be even trace of crystal flow from the source to bring puriication. Oh, well ;; it will be dry stream, anyway, after the next election"

WHATEVER else is to be said for
w or against Mr.. Sherwood An
derson's book, Poor White" has
food for thought on the change in
American life from rural to indus
trial. Describing the changes that
came IN one generation into an Ohio
town, he contrasts the old days and
the new:
IN the days before the coming of
industry, before the time of the mad
awakening, the towns of the middle
west We're sleepy places devoted to
The practice of the old trades, to
agriculture and to merchandising. In
the morning the men of the towns
went forth to work in the fields or
to the practice of the trade of car
pentry, horseshoeing, wagon-making,
harness-repairing and the making of
shoes and clothing, They fead books
and believed in God born in the
brains of men who came out of
civilization much like their own. On
the farms and in the houses in the
towns the men and women worked
together toward the same ends in
life. They lived in small frame

but very substantially built. The
carpenter who built a farmers
house differentiated it from the
| barn by putting what he called
scroll-work up under the caves and
| by building at the front a porch
with carved posts. After one of these
poor little houses had been lived in
for a long time, after children had
been born and men had died, after
men and women had suffered and
had moments of JOY together in the
tiny rooms under the low roofs. a
subtle change took place. The
| houses became almost beautiful in
| their old humanness. Each of the
houses began vaguely to show forth
the personality of the people who
| lived within its walls : A sense
of quiet growth awoke in sleeping
minds. II was time for art and
beauty to awake in the land.
''Instead, the giant, Industry
awoke. BOYS, who in the schools
had read of Lincoln walking fol
miles through the forest to borrow
his first hook, and of Garfield, thC

ART OR INDUSTRY OR BoTH2

Then followed the discovery Of
natural gas and the sudden awaken
ing of the people. Farmers owning
producing lands went to bed at
night poor and woke in the morning
rich. They moved to town and in
vested their money in industrial en-.
terprises:
"A vast energy seemed to come
out of the breasts of earth and infect
the people. Thousands of the most
energetic men in the middle states
wore themselves out in forming com
panies, and when the companies fail

time when thought and learning
paused. Without music, without
poetry, without beauty in their lives
or impulses, a whole people, full of
the native energy and strength of

pelImell into a new age"
Money grew abundant, and people
became financially richer and other,
wise poorer They bought more
things and had less satisfaction.
They spent more money and were
farther behind with their bills. Life
grew less laborious than in the ola
days of grinding toll, but neither
more restful nor more satisfying: it
grew hectic and dissatisfied. .
