Maybe he doesn’t know that gasoline ~ is cheaper than oats. A The Minneapoiis papers tell how a girl locked a robber in her room. Might have been better if she had locked him out. Peter Schott, a Memphis negro, was told by his physician to ' take ten drops of laudanum every four hours. He missed two days and then took two tablespoonsful to make up for lost time. The phy- sician and undertaker agree that he will need to take no more. The city of Brainerd has earned all the nice things being said about her for the splendid manmer in which she handled the convention of the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association. Her open hearted hospitality is as freely commented upoa as is the business like shape in which she arranged for the ex- peditious handling of the business of the convention. HONORS FAIRLY WON. The success of the Brainerd convention was in itself a tribute to the everlasting energy of Wil- liam R. Mackenzie, who, as sec- retary of the Northern Minnesota Development association had ‘much to do with the work of that gathering. It was proper indeed that the convention take official notice of the labor he has perform- ed and certainly the tribute paid when he was again named secre-, tary was merited, Mr. Mackenzie is not the only booster for north- ern Minnesota here and he is not NEEENATIV/IE DACQE the only man in the -developméfi; association who ' has. done - great work for the north state,. but he has expended his time and energy for this part of the state and the news of the new’ honors won at| Brainerd came as glad tidings to Bemidji, the city which leoks upon Mr. Mackenzie as its biggest advertisement. BOTH ARE SATISFIED. . Fred D. Warren, associate egditor of the Appeal to Reason, -who has had his sentence of six montbs in jail, imposed on charges growing out of Warren’s published offer ‘of-a re ward for the kidnapping of former Governor Taylor of Kentucky, up- held by the United States court of appeals, hasthis to say in the \cur-' rent issue of his paper: ““T'he decision of the court of ap- peals is by no means unexpected to me. Knowing something of the in- side workings of the courts, as I now. do, I feel quite confident there was no other end to our contest with the powers and plutocracy. Rest “as sured there are no tears and_ no “re- grets at this end of the line. Rather do T feel honored that I have been thus singled our as a victim™of the wrath of the late Theodore Roose- velt, who, according to the Kansas City Journal, personally ordered this prosecution azainstl me. I would not change places with thediscredit- ed boss of Oyster Bay!" As Colonel Roosevelt has no de- sire to exchange places with the Kansas editor, ‘both gentlemen should be satisfied, and this satisfac- tion is shared by a good many others. A STEP FORWARD: Legions under ‘the banner of Northern Minnesota have met and made their declarations at an epock I taken, making convention, featured by. the voice of the governor ringing. clear as a fearless champion for the one thing most needed—reapportion- ment. 2 The wisdom of the delegates in naming a strong committee to haunt the corridors of the capitol until the bill enfranchising . the heretofore ballotless and misrepresented north shallhave been enacted into law is at once apparent. have plenty to do. A reapportion- ment bill along proper lines probably will float serenely through the house but a tempetuous voyage is more than likely to be encountered in the senate. Patriots find it quite an easy thing to announce, while running for office, that they will vote for a measure which will wipe them out of office, but ‘when they have been elected to that office and begin to absorb the atmosphere of the senate: ch2mber, said patriots are apt to be- gin to take privileges with the pledges made on the platform when votes —not reapportionment, was the paramount issue. And so all the tremendous - power generated at the Brainerd convention will be needed when the supreme test comes with the convening of the legislature on January 2 next. The demand of the Brainerd = con- vention for remedial forest fire legis- lation was another vastly important conclusion. The request that the state establish a state forest service, at anannualexpense of $200,000 may mean a solution of this problem. Ex- perts who discussed the subject at the Brainerd gathering pointed out the value of competent men to pa- trol the forests, proving by federal statistics that forest fires can be prevented if a sufficient number of persons are employed to put the blazes out before they grow into bil- lows of flame. At a terrible cost Minnesota has learned that it does not pay to play with fire. | WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY l Mackenzie Scored.

You are still in debt—and the debt.can never be é,detiuately repaid. Forty years ago the Retailer had no idea who made the goods which he sold over - If his customers grew dissatisfied with an article which he bought from - Jobber “X” at 50c, he probably would buy the same 1dent1cal goods from Jobber The Jobber bought as low as he could—and sold for all he could get. The Retailer bought on suspicion and sold for whatever his customers would stand. In those days the Manufacturer’s guarantee was- practically unknown and the Dictionary was the only place where the word “Trade-Mark” meant anything. If your competitor—who stocked an inferior line—told one of your customers he had the same goods as you did, but would sell them at a lower price, he got away There was no mark on the selvage or no Manufacturer's name on.the package to show him up—and you lost a customer. Then came the day of Trade-larked, Advertised Goods. People were taught by bitter experience that goods not Trade-Marked were poor things to buy, and worse things to wear, or eat, or brush their teeth with. Under the new conditions the Retailer had the power to suit his stock exactly to the requirements of hiscustomers. If they didn’tlike goods made by Manufacturer Smith, he bought goods made by Manufacturer Johnson. Nowadays, if a competitor sold a customer of yours, “the same goods for half the price,” said customer would look for the Trade-Mark— and tell him where to go. You now know just what you should pay—no matter where you buy. You, get what you ask for— and get goods of uniform quality. @ The Advertised Trade-Mark has made the Retiler a Merchant and nota shop- keeper. He buys goods when; where, and of the quahty he pleases. He can demand “the facts—and get them. ~ Thus ‘‘shelf ornaments” and “impositions” 'Those readers long enough in business to remember the old conditions know that I am dealingin facts—FACTS. § : " To those readers fortunate enough to have started business under the new :eglme,‘ 1 say, think it over=-=and have a kindly word for the salesmen behind whom stand the Manuiactcrers of Trade-Marked, Adaertised Goods. ~ ROBERT FROTHINGHAM, “THE LAND MEN"’ LIFE ACCIDENT § . | Estate in All li Branches LANDS BOUGHT AND SOLD Go to Them for Quick Action Off!c_e--Schroedgr Bul[dlng are becoming [t
