and die.
When men see, here and there,
energetic spirits not only going
ahead, but spreading out, il en-
couragos ALL Therefore you will
learn with satisfaction that Ben
)amin Namm. a very young mer-
chant In Brooklyn, has added
twelve acres to his store-already
big. This is the day when the
new store opens, and 1t is pleas
ing confirmation OF the theory
that. just after a war, big success
belongs to the man who has the
courage to 80 out and get il.
Young Mr.. Namm and other wise
American business men know that
war turns things upside down,
shakes up the grab bag OF fate,
and brings fine chances TO the top.
Nothing is really destroyed, but
many are frightened; the tired
out collapse, the right kind say:
This Is my chance"
Everybody knows about the big
ness of ancient things-the Roman
catacombs, the pyramids where
Egypt's kings were buried, the
Colossus Of Rhodes. or the tomb OF
Aausolus. But few know much
about the modern wonder, a great
institution for distributing to the
world, at retail, all tnat the world
produces. Such a store as the one
added by Mr.. Namm to his origi-
nal store Is visited by as many as
100000 people In q day. In It's
aisles you may walk eight miles
without going twice over the same
ground. 1t has an electric wir-
ing system as great as that of a
small town.
And editors and merchants,
please notice there is no accident
about such a success as that of the
youthful Mr.. Namm. Being younv,
he realizes the power of the latest
Improvements. Acting on the
established maxim, "first HAVE
what they want, then TELL them
about it," Mr.. Namm tells the peo-
pie, and goes about his telling j.
the intelligent way. In the Hearst
newspapers his advertising in
vestment is twice as great as in
all other New York and Brooklyn
newspapers combined. Hence the
new store, and the size of it.
Moral: To grow quickly, build
quickly and reach the millions
with what you have to say.
Either advertise your business
or advertise it for sale, and if you
do advertise then ADVERTISE.
Don't 20 at it like the man that
cut hah an inch OF his little dogs
tail every day because he was too
kind-hearted to cut it all off at
once.
William Jennings Bryan sug-
gests things that he supposes Sen
ator Harding will do. He thinks
Mr.. Harding will want Article K
taken out of the League of Nations
covenant, and will then be ready
for ian Association of Nations in
which the United States will do
it's part without surrendering it's
right to decide when it will go to
war;"
This writer supposes that Sena-
tor Harding will 20 nearer the
root of things than that. This
guess is that another kind of
peace, doing away with the treaty
of Versailles entirely, will be ask
ed for on the ground that the Ver-
sailles treaty was the product Of
excitement and intense hatred. un-
worthy of sane, civilized men.
That Apache treaty being torn
up, according to this guess, the
United States will view with
friendly interest a plan to insure
peace along the lines of the Hague
Conference.
Failing that, the United States
will make a separate peace with
Germany. about the middle of
May, and go about its business,
keeping ready for any trouble that
may come. Mr.. Bryan is asked to
make q note Of this guess.
Mr.. Bryan expects disarmament
by this country. There will not be
American disarmament until the
nations that have begun the wars
and done the fighting FIRST dis
arm.
The police do not lay down their
arms until rioters disperse. They
are still rioting all over Europe.
This country is the police. 1t re-
grets that foreign nations should
be constantly tempted to war by
each others weakness or wealth.
1t won't decrease temptations by
displaying, UNARMED and un-
protected, this nations wealth.
The French are preparing to
troops and occupy south
ern Germany.
England, according to Frank
Munsey's Herald, is politely sug-
gesting that this country should
look after payment to England Of
moneys due from Mexico and
South American republics. Fail
ing that, according to Mr.. Munsey,
England will demand that we
"call Off the Monroe Doctrine
