Publicity Alter Capture.

Another thing that confus.s the public
as to the criminal prosecutions is the
fact that, theoretically at least. indict.
ments are not made public until ths
person indicted Is apprehended. The

ures of the whole lot. Eugene J. Cal
lahan, has been missing since the day
of the failure, January 81. Herbert
McCory, one OF two men indicted as
result of the failure Of McCory & Co.
whose liabilities were s25,00e, evaded
the District Attorneys men for Ave
months and was found June working
as carpenters helper in jamaica
J.. T. He pleaded guilty.
The Il. d. DER case being one Of size
and more than usual interest, it is inter-
esting to note the developments along
two Iines-those Of the bankruptcy pro.
ceedings and those of the criminal pro-
secutions The lawyers for the trustee,
with their work far from finished. have
obtained a settlement OF some Of the
claims, getting $500. 900 for the creditors.
In no instance does the compromise
carry with it immunity from criminal
prosecution should developments war
rant such action.
One OF the men who settled was Ben
jamin r. Shrimpton, Dier's manager.
He has been indicted. Three others
have been indicted. including DER and
Harry Lawrence, his partner, who have
appeared and given ball. They may
be brought to trial on q charge of grand
larceny within a month. Shrimpton Is
reported to be In Australia and prob
ably thinks he is safe as he has "settied"
for $4,000. But the indictment and
his apprehension are not affected BY the
settlement in tho slightest.
The District Attorneys investigation
OF the der case was materially delayed
by failure to get the books of the con-
Germ. The issue involved was taken
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States
A case Of equal importance, that OF
~. M. Fuller & Co.. resulted in two in
cictments last week. In this instance a
stipulation makes 1t impossible for Mr..
| Banton TO obtain the books. and there
were other indications that unless the
Iublc and the public prosecutor were
watchful the Fuller case would be al
lowed to slip along quietly with some
sort OF compromise for the creditors
in view.
Fuller has the reputation OF having a
strong pull and Of being able to wric-
gle out OF dificulties. His company
failed for about S5.00o,0oo and had up
ward OF 10000 customers. There are
many complaints in this case In the
hands OF the District Attorney.
Because of the reputation of Fuller
and his affiliations, because OF the size
of the failure and because Of the con-
stant reiteration of the complaint that
the small fry are punished while 'the
big fellows" get away, it is fair to
assume that the progress OF the case
OF Fuller in the District Attorney
office is being watched with great inter-
est by every ono in the financial district
and thousands Of other people.

SERVING THE PUBLIC

An illustration of the spirit fire.
quently seen when people buy goods
away from home, was reported by
friend the other day. While away
travelling he went into store in
large city to buy certain article
The clerk showed him fairly expen-
sive specimen. The customer had
heard that there was a less costly
grade offered.
The clerk said nothing about that
until he was asked about it. Then
he did pull out the cheaper articles,
and said he understood that it was
Just as good, as far as service and
wear went. But most people, he said,
prefer the more expensive one, at 1t
looks handsomer.
1t would seem as if it would be for
the interest of people in moderate CIR
cumstances to buy the less costly
thing. But apparently the clerk was
tainsing ABOUT swelling his total OF
sales and did not consider the inter
est of the customer.
He probably thought that he would
never see this man again so it made
no particular difference to himself
whether the purchaser got the full
worth of his money or not. He was
looking merely for the immediate re-
suit, without thinking of building up
a permanent trade of satisfied people.
In the stores of Julesburg there is
better recognition that the sellers
of goods must consider the interest
of the people who buy. In such q
case as the above, if the cheaper arti-
Gle was practically as good, our clerks
would be apt to say so frankly and
make no special effort to push the
more expensive grade unless the Gus
toner showed strong desire for the
additional finish and appearance
Our stores are primarily concerned to
build up a permanent trade. They
know that to do so they must earnest
ly consider the desires and interests
of their customers.

and quotations of prices. What are
the merchants of Julesburg doing to
meet this form of rivalry?
The country store can build up its
trade just the way the mail order
house has, through the power of ad-
vertising. Publicity will make its
goods look just as attractive and seem
just as good bargains as the stuff
people get of the mail order houses
many miles away. If the country
merchant will quote his prices and
feature his bargains, he can make his
place of business look just as enter
prlsing as that distant emporium in
some far away city.
1t is natural thing for country
people to come into their market
town to trade. If the business men
OF that center impress themselves on
the surrounding country as men of en-
terprlse who are pushing for bar
gains all the time, the country people
Will trade at home. But if many of
these merchants use no publicity at
all, and if others advertise only in
routine or occasional way, without
mentioning special features or trying
to convince the public that they have
the real thing in bargains, some of
the country people may conclude that
those stores are not sufficiently wide
awake, and may send off large
amounts to some distant metropolis.

sign of good luck or bad luck. The

printed it:
"Old Subscriber. Finding spider
in your paper was neither good nor

MEETING MAIL ORDER PRICES

Merchants in many places complain
of the amount of competition they
have to meet from mail order hous-

money that ought to be spent in
building up the mercantile facilities

not always wholly with the buying

NO POLITICS IN SUBSIDY

81 am a Democrat, but my thero
study of this subject has convinced
me that my party is wrong in it's op-
position to a shipping subsidy ex-
claimed former Senator George E.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, in an address
before the City club of Washington a
few days ago. The senator comes
from a state many of whose citi-
gems are engaged in the business of
operating ships. His position on the
subsidy merely goes to show that
o.. when a special interest is to be bene-
fitted. political affiliations take a back
seat.
AS a means OF illustrating the I'M
soundness of employing foreign ships
to carry our goods, the senator said
that in the past seven years we have
paid out $4,000, 100000 for the carry
ing of our foreign commerce. sum
nearly equal to the debts foreign COUP
tries OF u.s.
Yet these foreign countries which
are welded to the subsidy system were
compelled to come to us when they
wanted to borrow money. If Uncle
sam is so bad a business person how
does he happen TO have money to
lend?
That the most important reason for
the building and maintenance of an
American merchant marine Is related
to the national defense. was the as
sertion OF the speaker. He recalled
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-10-31

the fact that during the Spanish
American war we were dependent up
on foreign transports for the carrying
of our men and supplies across the
Pacific, and also asserted that when
President Roosevelt sent the Ameri-
can fleet around the world, the bat
tItshipS could not have gone even so
far as Honolulu without the aid of
Golfers and supply ships operated I'M
der foreign flags and employed by the
United States government
Our ability to hire these transports
in time of need, largely was due to
the fact that we had not been wasting
money in an effort to bolster up the
interests of private ship owners. If
these ship owners want the money
that has been going to foreigners let
them jump in and earn it.

started to go with a fellow whom
had been advised against. 1 found in

to talk about me and 1 went back to
him just for spite, giving up the sec

and wishes me to marry him. The

There is no test which can be ap-

by the way in which the two young

because they cannot bear to hurt each
other.
