the standing of his GOODS he not only pulls
down his competitors; he pulls down himself and
his whole trade He scuttles the ship in which
he, himself, is afloat.
Nothing is easy as to cut prices, and moth
ing is so hard as to get them back when once
they have been pulled down. Any child can
throw glass of water on the floor, but all the
wisest scientists in the world can't pick that
water up.

and the who buys soon finds himself get

permanently keep up the standard of his goods
if the price is persistently cut. Pretty soon he
is compelled to use cheaper materials, and cut
down the wages of his workers.

A COMMUNITY LEAK

aid, lady who is loyal to Duluth sat al
luncheon listening to other women tell
ing about their purchases in other cities.
Thursday evening another friend of The Her
aid, man, travelled from Minneapolis to Duluth
in chair filled with passengers, mostly
women. All of the women had parcels, and he
heard them talking of the purchases they had
made in Minneapolis.
The woman friend of The Herald who told
her story wondered that these women were not
enough conscious of their disloyalty to their home
community to conceal it, rather than to talk
about it.
The man in the parlor car wondered what
the husbands of these out-of-town buyers thought
Iof this practice Every of those husbands
makes his living in Duluth, or has business in
Duluth or a profession which he practices in
Duluth. His living or his business or his profess
sion will prosper as Duluth prospers, and it will
fall short of the prosperity it might have if
Duluth falls short Of the prosperity that belongs
to it.
Every dollar that is spent out of town un
fairly takes something away from the local bust
ness that furnishes what that dollar bought. But
it does more than that: 1t takes something out
of the possible earnings, wages profits of
EVERYBODY in Duluth 1t builds up the enter
prises of other cities, and to that extent it tears
down the enterprises of this city.
And it is all so foolish, so deluded!
The delusion that goods a little better,
or little more Exclusive" or little cheaper,
in the larger city just beyond runs from Duluth
to the Twin Cities, from the Twin Cities to Chi
cago, from Chicago to New York and from New
York to London and Paris.
Victims of this delusion are made strangely
happy by the thought of something bought from
distance, when they might have bought exactly
the same thing in a home store at the price,
or maybe even for lower price. Yet when they
indulge this delusion they are hurting their home
city, the city out of which they make their liv-
ing, and they are reducing their chances of max
ing those lvings larger, and perhaps even of
making them at all.
How foolish this practice is may be illus
trated by another little true story.
prominent Duluth business man recently
bought some clothing for his boy in New York
store 1t developed later that that clothing was
made in Duluth by F. A. Patrick & Co., and that
the business man could have bought it at almost
any Duluth store, and without paying New York
prices for it.
This practice is leak in the community
welfare.
1t is leak that Injuries not merely the
merchants who suffer by it directly, but every
body in the community.
1t can be stopped, that leak
deliberate policy of buying at home,
adopted by every citizen-and his wife-as it
already has been adopted by every thoughtful
citizen, man or woman, would stop that leak COM
pletely And the benefits in better local business
that would follow would be shared by every
body who lives in Duluth.-Duluth Herald.

APPEAL WILL HALT
HANGING Of SCOTT
Illinois Supreme Court Acts
FavorabIy - Makes Third
Time Accused EIudes Moose.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, October 13.-
Russell T. Scott, under sentence
to hang in Chicago on Friday for the
murder of a drug clerk during hold
up. was granted an appeal by the
Illinois Supreme Court today.
Scott, who twice before escaped the
gallows by a narrow margin, had
filed a writ of error with the court
on Monday. 1t was an appeal from
a sanity trial in which the jury
found him sane and subject to hang
ing, the sentence originally imposed.
He had been returned to Chicago
from the asylum for the criminal in
sane at Chester, where he was sent
after a previous eleventh-hour in
sanity plea. He first escaped the
moose through a reprieve from Gov.
Small.
Chief Justice Stone, in announcing
the courts decision, said that the
appeal was granted because the time
before the date set for the hanging
was too brief for a review of the
case. The action will bring the case
up from the. Cook County Court in
an orderly manner, and after presen-
tation of briefs and possibly oral
arguments, it will be taken under
advisement for a final decision.
William Scott Stewart, who has
been Scott's attorney during his long
fight, took a deep breath and then
smiled when the court decision was
announced. An early attempt had
been made for a Supreme Court re-
view, but it was denied.

''Bent'' Radio Waves
May Foil Enemies
lntercepting Codes
BY the Associated Press.

SAN PEDRO, Calf, October 13.
Development of a radio system
for naval communication which
eliminates the danger Of enemy
interception of signals and which
may have value in commercial
work was announced here today by
Maj. Francis E. Pierce, radio Off
Ger of the United States Marine
Corps.
Tests have demonstrated, Maj.
Pierce said, that device invented
by him is capable of transmitting
radio signals in such manner that
they can be ricochetted over in
tervening spaces between the send
er and the receiver. In a test off
the Southern California coast be-
tween vessels of the United States
feet, a ship transmitted radio sig
nails to sister ship, while a YES
sci which steamed between the two
was unable toe pick up a signal.
Discovery of the ricochetting or
bent" wave was made while
Pierce was making short wave
tests.

Although the superintendent may

opportunity to express their opinions

so that the school officials will have
all the information possible before

locks of the cell doors with iron bars.
None of the prisoners was fatally
wounded in the volley turned loose on

CONGRESS CONTROL
VITAL TOPRES|DENT
Political Future Said to De-
pend on Retaining Majority
at Elections.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The man most interested in the out
come of the congressional elections is
President Coolidge. His political fu-
ture depends on it because If he fails
to retain a working majority critics
would interpret it as. a sign of a lack
of confidence in his administration and
such in the December session as to
make political capital against the Re-
publican party.
So while individual Senators and
Representatives may be worried about
their own elections, the biggest sim
gle worry is that which should ema.
nate fro mthe White House. And yet,
with all that is at stake, Mr.. Coolidge
is mot engaging in the campaign at
all. Except for a yelled suggestion to
the voters Of Massachusetts, his home
State, to help Senator Butler, there
has been no hint of the President S
anxiety about the result.
Other Presidents have written let
ters to individual members of Con-
gress praising their respective records
and the publications of such testimo-
malls has been of great help. Mr..
Coolidge, however, has studiously re-
Trained from beseeching the voters
to give him evidence of their conf
dence.
Would Be Personal Victory.
Should the Republicans hold their
majority 1t will mean even more to
the President personally than if he
had actively sought public support
for his party. Only the tabulation of
votes on election day can tell whether
ia1 OF
In 1924 such was achieved to no
small extent by the Indulgence of the
President in a minimum of contro-
versy and a maximum Of silence.
All this is not saying that Mr.. Cool
idge will keep absolutely mum be-
tween now and election day. Quite
the contrary is probable. But the
paucity Of his comments will be sig
niflcant and noticeable. The Presi-
dent probably will go to Massachu-
setts to vote. The fact that he will
do so will be announced in advance.
That's one stroke. Again, a letter
emphasizing the achievements of the
Republican party in Congress may
suddenly appear some day between
now and election. That's another old
fashioned but effective weapon of de-
fense.
But if the President is trying to
help by implicit statements, the mem
bers of his administration are active
and explicit. Cabinet members are
on the stump and Assistant Secre-
taries are booked by Republican head
quarters to address many political
gatherings. Although Mr.. Coolidge
betrays little evidence of 1t, the at
mosphere this month all around him
Is political and there can be no doubt,
even in the mind of casual visitors,
that a critical political campaign
Is on.
Broadly speaking, the administra-
ton expects to win. Disturbing re-
ports from various sections have come

this crime the son was sentenced
to 30 years; penal servitude. On
the day of the sons release the
father received a pardon, and for
the first time father and son met
