TbroajK them the best Ideals of Ibelr conAemporartee are dear to ua. Their bioSrspbies are national epics. Without Washington America, by weight of growing oaUanallly, would hare parted aoooer or later from the mother country Fifty Joara ago the forces that leaded to national unity were stronger than those that made for disunion, and. in the end unity must hare pnrailed, even with out Laacola. But In Washington ana Lincoln are concentrated the meaning of the nation's great triumphs. Th. young nation scrambling to 1U feel after the struggle for Indepeodeoce. uncertain, untried, pursoallied la the grart wisdom Washington. .The Spirit of union, •orely crippled by the Clrll War And long Suspeeled by many Americana to be but the spirit of tyranny guise, took before, all mens e} shape at Lincoln, so that Whitman thought of nalouiam as "a new rlr toe. unknown to other lands." to be added to iincoln’s honesty, good nets

That the nation bred, each for bit time, the man who led and typiflea his fellow -men Justifies democrat:) in Its hope for the future. Washing ton was .the product of transplanted Fhigllsk drUisation, adopting when the time comes Ideals hostile to the traditional order, bpt preserving the essence Of that order ’n his conserve tism and gracipus dignity. Lincoln was the perfect fi*uit of a balf-cent ury of national independence, realising a democracy that was not In Washington's blood, but which he be Uevttd in and hoped for. The new nafon baa made a new man. We cam easily forget or tail to learn the principles of events long' paaL^lui the men wLo were the ns lion's soul, them we can understand: we hear their voices, we see their faces; we love their living presence And so patriotism cannot grow cold The bean at American history Is In these vivid personalities, and Its aplr it looks out.

“Freedom of Speech." The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, ed. tor o( .the Oulivok. was one of the apoakcie at (he annual dinner of the last week. He is repo^u-d, ac-oog the topics discussed. to have dwek especially o what he regarded as the tendency of <hc American newspapers to excee< the limits of prt-per "freedom o. •peach." To illustrate his thoughts ht gave nUervme m the following. “If 1 walk down the street with mj lends lu my pockets it is no one's business. If I walk down the street and pot my bands in some one else s pockets be has a right to kick. The liberty of the proas is *> different from any other kind. A man may yrrtte what he wishes about himself, but when be pulls down another man' character be la no leu then an aasas ala." If correctly reported Dr. Abbott likens libel to assaaeiaation. But our laws moke a difference between libel -and assess in it tori and assign diflernO punishments. to libel aa| assassination. Dr. AbboU loses sight of this punitive distinction as well as the difference between a man's character

TALKS ON ADVERTISING II.—Mail Order Vs. Home Trading By Henry Herbert Huff COPYRIGHT. 1000. UY AMERICAN PRfcS* ASSOCIATION "Back again, Mr. Business Man!” “Glad to sec yon. Have a chair. Do you know I’m anxious to learn how advertising is going to fix those mail order houses.’’ “Pardon me, but I do not like your expression. The nmi order house has as much right to do bu^fwgo m Bro'an, TKtrr omx. pedtor acroas the street. You cannot hope to have it extenni usted by law, boycott or other i afair means. The only way t< solve this problem is to meet its prices. You can do this on c cash basis, and that is the only ; ynsible way to sell. Be so busy telling the public about your store, your goods end your prices that the mail order bouses do not appear to trouble you in the least. Quote the mail order houses’ prices beside yours to show that you mean business. Do not attack their integrity. They are not all frauds, as some merchan's would represent them to be.” “But people should be loyal to their home merchants'’— “Very true, but this ^Argument ^ \ jeen abused. Stories of the patron who got ‘cheated,* of the dollar that did so much in the community before it was sent away, the theory of paying taxes, etc., are all so weak or lacking in logic as to lie an injury to our cause. If you are to pull customers from the catalogue houses, it will be with proof that you sell equally low, not by satire or abuse. They ars to be won, not forced. Then, too, many merchants who arc selling too high or are inexperienced and not in the least fitted for their business, dealers who gossip, are unfriendly and unaccommodating or who cheat or mistreat their patrons all claim the support of the community on the loyalty to home industries plea. To do so fa to seek charity, not business. Evmf charity coven no such sins. Now, honestly, do you expect patronage merely because you are • merchant in this town ?” “What grounds, then, should 1 take ii “Pqt it thus: 'You buy where you can buy c do the same. Eemember, when ranking comparisons with eata-

n asking patronage ?” ly cheapest, and I will . w comparisons w logue prices, to add something for trULpotf^ion, the delay, tlie trouble and expoise of ordering, r nd the life. Tf I can furnish you the goods equally low, consider!: .g these advantages, buy of ine, because it will help to build up the town. That is all I ask.' To what one thing do the catalogue houses owe their growth ?*’ "1 must confess it is good advertising.” “Yes; their whole existence if due to it. They cannot live without it They are unnatural institutions—could never have started if local merchants had realized the possibilities of advertising. But ! it is not too late to use ognin*t them this very instrument that has been their makin". And that fa the only successful way to combat the mail order evil—advertise.”
