Why ?
Because
They £ell only the best bhoes made, and one pair will
wear longer than two pairs bought from other houses who
keep cheap stuff. Did you buy Shoes from us last winter?
If so, we are not talking to you, as no one could influence
you to buy from any one else; but this is to those who have
been buying shoddy Shoes from merchants who do not care
for any thing but the profits, and regardless of wear.
Just ask your neighbor about our Winter Shoes and
they will tell you about them better than we can write. It
is poor economy to buy Shoes for winter that will not
serve you ten months or one year, even if you can get
them for 15 cents a pair less. We are going to keep and
sell Shoes that wi’l give satisfaction to every one who buys
of us. We want to sell you and your family your winter
goods and will save you money sure. Youis,

The Congressional Hcoord Is again run¬
ning is If nothing had happened. A* yet
it is not tha balky publication which it
waa during tha last few weak* of tbs sum¬
mer session, but in a few day* the orator*
of the two houses will get to work on the
tariff and other measures, and then the
poor official reporter*, the compoeitor* and
toe proofreader* will have a chance to
earn their aahudsa. When Mr Richard
Webster, formerly attorney general tew of Eng¬
land, was in Washington a week*ago,
he picked up a copy of The Congressional
Record, read it through with said: much inter¬
est and surprise, and then “This Is
a wonderful publication. It fat really ad¬
mirable. How great is its circulation? A
half million ot copies, I suppose. ” When
told that the issue did not exceed $,000 or
10,000 copies, and that nearly all of these
were famished to senators and representa¬
tives tor gratuitous distribution, Sir Rich¬
ard “susflfe was jpestly surprised. “Why,” said
he, publication astbis would have
an enormous circulation in England, de¬
spite the fact that our newspapers report
toe parliamentary debates five times as
fully as your papers report the proceeding*
of congress. We hsrs nothing like it In
England, and the only report of the parlia¬
mentary proceedings that is made is that
taken by the press. With ns each newspa¬
per make* it* own report, and I do not un¬
derstand that wa have any press associa¬
tion that make* a report for all the news¬
papers, as you have here. Tbe English
people take great interest in everything
that goes on In parliament, and a newspa¬
per does not amount to ranch with n* un¬
less it reports the debates quite thorough¬
ly. If w* had such a publication as tola
Record, with verbatim reports, carefully
mads and edited, well arranged and print¬
ed, I believe Its circulation would go Into
toe hundreds of thousands. Why is ft
that your people do not taka toon interest
in the proceedings of oongreaaf ”
Aa English Opinion.
This was a my pertinent query and
brought up the whole subject of American
newspaper method* as compared with Eng¬
lish methods. Some one answered Sir
Richard to the effect that in England the
public wants exactly what is said and
done in parliament, and the newspaper*
fill that want by making long reports,
even of unimportant speeches, while in
thia country toe people want only the most
important remark* of their statesmen and
ask their newspapers to give space to writ¬
ing about the statesmen, toe gossip of toe
day, their intentions and plans, their am¬
bitions and slashings, than to what they
actually say. In this one tiling, this speak¬
er contended, is found the key to the dif¬
ference—tbe radical difference—betw e e n
English and American Journalism. The
English Journalist it literal. He reports
exactly what be finds, what appear* on
toe surface. He reports it, moreover. In a
literal way. He has no play of imagina¬
tion. Such Journalism would not do in
this country. Our writer* are not content
merely to take the surface of things. They
dig underneath, find out the hidden mo¬
tives and mainsprings, and when they have
gathered all the tacts they have so much
to toil, have become so thoroughly im¬
bued with the spirit of the scene or epi¬
sode or whatever it is. that they are able
to dramatize it. They are able to make a
"story” of it. In England they do not
know what a "story” is, except a work of
fiction. The shop talk about stories in aa
American newspaper office is Greek to
them. They fancy that In writing our sto¬
ries we omit toe facte or create statements
which are only in shadow and not is sab-
stance based upon occurrences. That crit¬
icism might have held good a tew year*
ago, but today the best American newspa¬
pers put accuracy before everything else.
They have found that the making of sto¬
ries is possible without sacrifice of accu¬
racy.
The American Reporter,
There are no reporters in England such
as we have in this country. There a re¬
porter merely sets down in ooramonplace
English what appears to every one. The
American reporter is mere than a mere on¬
looker—be is an expert digger after facte.
In France there is writing all through the
paper, but so little news that the whole
sheet is made up pretty much of opinions.
Iu America there is “writing” in every
column; In every department. It is not
confined to toe purely literary ends of the
paper. It is everywhere, aa in France. The
best writing in an American paper is often
done on toe local pages or in the prepara¬
tion of the reporter’s stories. Therefore,
with inconceivably better accumulation of
Information and infinitely better presen¬
tation of it in wads, the American news¬
paper is so much superior to the English
that there is and ean be no adequate eom-
pariton between them. And yet the Amer¬
ican newspaper does not suit the English
public any better than tbs English paper
would suit the American public.
The Interview.
Yet It may be true that our American
newspapers do not report tbe proceedings
of congress as fully aa they should. Pos¬
sibly fuller report* would please their
readers. It is an experiment which some
on* should try. It is a remark*Wa tact
that American newspapers will print, and
their reader* will rm&, interview* with
public men which are hastily and even
ssSssjttws carelessly prepared, which do not represent
