Justice to the American Indian.
To commemorate the aboriginal natives ot the American forest It Is
proposed that In Xtv York harbor, directly opposite the statue of liberty,
an Immense figure In bronze be erected of the American Indian.
The author of this suggestion Is General Leonard Wood.
It was In an after-dinner speech at a banquet given In honor of Buf
falo BUI at Sherry's In New York that the project was launched; but It
must not he Imagined that It was In any light spirit of pleasantry that the
subject was discussed by the United States officer. >>'
He was perfectly serious.
• Whatever may be the ethics Involved In the contention that our^treat-
mont of the red man has been fully justified by the demands of civilization.
It nevertheless remains that we have appropriated the land which was
once the wilderness home of the American Indian. It was his own beauti
ful Arcadia—his by right of original possession—his by right of birth and
ot' tillage. But gradually before the far-flung battle lines ot our trampling
armies we have driven him farther and farther toward the West until to
day all that exists of the savage warriors may be found In effete rem
nants scattered up and down the Rocky mountains.
Conscience smitten, we have not been wholly unmindful of our obliga
tions to the American Indian. But we have not yet canceled the debt. It
may look almost like a travesty upon Justice to erect this memorial In New
York harbor, but the unfortunate child of the forest deserves to bo com
memorated at the very commercial gateway of the nation.

He hurried without a falter;
Bold aa the boldest ho fought and bled.
And the day was won—but the field waa rad—
And the blood of hla fresh young heart was

On the trampled breast of the battle plain
Where the foremoit ranks had wrestled.

The fairest form, amid all tho slain,
Like a child ailae; he nsstlad.

The field where his comrades found him,
They hnrled him there—ind tho big tears

Sidelights on the Inheritance Tax. •
The probate of the will of the late Henry H. Rogers has caused The
Baltimore Sun to lament afresh the failure tor the national government to
enact an inheritance tax. .
By the levy of only 1 per cent It Is shown that the magnificent es
tate of the oil magnate could be made to yield to tho coders of the United
States government the handsome sum of $547,000.
It might be argued that a measure of this kind Is In the nature of
dduble taxation; but the growing expenses of the government must be
met.
And does not this method of raising revenue satisfy the demand with
out working, any great hardship upon the legatee and without Imposing
any extra burden upon the consumer?
Under the British law the Morrison heirs in England who receive $50,-
000,000 are required to pay Into the royal exchequer 20 per $ent of this
sum, or $10,000,000. The proposed American law Is much less stringent.
Presbyterianism and Tobacco.
The action of the General Assembly of tho Northern Presbyterian
church at Denver, Colo., In tabooing the use ot tobacco, suggests a de
parture trom the conservative ground which has heretofore been occupied
by this Important branch of the Calvlnlstlc household.
We are not defending the use of tobacco. Let this be understood. But
the facts before us are somewhat unusual. The habit of tho Presbyterian
church has not been to Inveigh against specific sins, but to stress prin
ciples, allowing the Individual to make the application before the bar of
conscience. Moreover, It Is one of the characteristics of the Presbyterian,
especially If his forebears sailed from Scotland, to be tenacious of his per
sonal rights. It may also bo said In passing that tho good people who live
around the dykes of Holland are not only strong Calvinists, but they are
men of vigorous puffs to whom-the mellow aroma of the pipe Is liko the
very incense of tho altar. And accessions from this fold have helped to
keep the old Presbyterian church moored to tho rock of tobacco.
It Is quite a different proposition when'll comes to the Methodist. He
has always made war upon the weed. Both In the pulpit and on the floor
of tho conference It has been a favorite theme ot discussion.
But the action of the Presbytorlan General Assembly at Denver Inau
gurates a departure. "*
Perhaps the (laptlsts will be falling- Into line next. Like the Presby
terians, the Baptists havo always been very conservative upon this ques
tion. Even those who hove not particularly fancied the weed have
thought that the matter ought to bo left entirely to Individual election.
Several years ago when Chancellor Mull, of tho state university, was
presiding over one of tho Baptist conventions, n speaker who was address
ing the body in the Interest of some causo launched Into on Impassioned
arraignment of tho tobacco habit. He. came very near defeating his ob
ject. But Dr. Mell adroitly parried the effect by some good-natured re
mark; and he afterwards declared that while tho man was making tits
nttack upon the weed ho was himself almost dying for n smoke.
On another occasion one of the fair parishioners of Dr. W. W. Lan
drum, formerly pastor of tho First Baptist church, of this city, saw him
with a lighted cigar In his mouth |nd expressed her disapproval In hor
rified terms. • —• /
But the ever-ready clergyman was not In the least disconcerted.
"Madam,” said he, springing an argument which tho devout lady, could
not resist, “I am doing what the Scripture enjoins—I am burning an
Idol."
This Is the Story the Credit Man Told, and It Is a Record of Fact—It Carries a Lesson

I had been credit man for Brown Brother* for many yeara, and during
this time I had watched the growth of thousands of accounts.,their prog
ress. theJr payments—sometimes their loss. It was some satisfaction to
me to know that much of the success of our customers was due to the
quality of their goods, for the slogan of the ’Big House of Brown Broth-
etn*’ was “Quality First" I knew there accounts as tho they were human;
they were like old friends.
One of the thousands of accounts I knew and watched was that of a
firm down stale In one of the best towns In‘Its section. 1*11 coll It Ran
dall City am) the store Randall’s, for It wouldn’t be kindly or professional
for mo to use real names in this story—tho you can put It down that out
side of this it Is a record of strict fact, Randall’s store was the oldest es
tablished house In Its city. We had been selling It goods for years, selling
U from $-n,nuo t<» a ' *■;»r. Payments had been promptly 11i“t every
year and the account on the ledger had been a model to pleas^any credit
man’s eye.
But now, for the past five months, not an entry had been made on the
ledger, and the firm owed Brown Brothers Just $14.868.43—I'll n^’er for
get those figures. It worried me, and I decided to dig into It a hit.
I had a two weeks' vacation Just then, and I decided to spend a part
of It nt Randall City. I knew old Randall rather well, having met him on
hla trips to market, and I liked him. I was anxious about that account and
I thought something might be done about It. so I caught the train to his
town without telling Brown Brothers or anybody else about ft. ' And I
didn’t tell Randall I was coming, either. I just blew into Randall City that
Saturday night, went to a hotel and then took a stroll up the street to see
howathlngs looked. . •
It looked like every merchant on Maln-st. prided himself on the looks
of his store. Their window displays were splendid and tho it was latfijit
night their electric lights brightened up the windows and fronts and at
tracted the attention of strollers.
RANDALL'S WAS THE ONE EXCEPTION.
, But there was one black expanse In the brightest portion of the busi
ness district, a store unflluminated, with dusty windows evidently un
changed for week's. I looked at the^grlmy sign overhead. It was “Ran
dall's.’’
Ten years previous Randall’s had been the big store of Randall City,
with age and prestige and a r-»put.>thm for fair dealing. Now It was like
a funeral In contrast with Its neighbors. There, was Evans* and there waa
Green’s, brilliant with electric lights. Both these stores were conducted by
hustling young men, neither more than 8L
Nsxt morning I reached for the dally papers and took a look. There were
big display advertisements of special sftles at Evans’ on Monday. There
were big displays from Green’s store, the ads. of both well written and up
to dote. But search as I would, I could find no reference to Randall's.
When I put away Hie papers I knew why ou$ account was so Inactive,
why It was In danger of being a total loss.
Randall didn’t advertise, either in the papers or In the appearance of
his store. It didn’t take an export to nee the trouble—but the problem was to
find the remedy.
I dropped Into the store Monday morning, bright and early, and had a
quiet talk with John Randall. I was anxious to learn Just how badly In
volved he was, and It didn’t take long for him to fUrn loose his reserve nnd
tell me the whole story. It looked pretty bad. The old man had trusted his
friends and acquaintances and their friends and relatives until his hooks
were filled with accounts not worth a dime on the dollar. In addition to the
Brown Brothers’ account the claims of other firms aggregated about $25,000.
"Pm getting too old to look after the business, I guess," said Randall. “It
seems hard, after all these years, to have to acknowledge I’m whipped. I
guess I'm getting too old,"
A CHANCE TO SAVE THE STORE.
He kept saying this until I stopped him and told him to get his mind off
that. Tho way things stood. Brown Brothers stood a chance to collect about
60 cents on the dollar. If Randall’s creditors pushed him, and several anxious
letters he showed me Indicated that some of them were about ready to take
action. I was puzzling over the safest way to protect our own account
when an Idea struck me, a bold one, a freakish one, If you will, but I had a
two weeks* vacation and decided to use It. j
“Seo here. Mr. Randall," I said, "you are practically a bankrupt. You
can’t lose much more if you take a chance. lama young man. but I know
the game. I’ve dealt with you for years and I know your faults. You are
an old man. Business today is conducted on different lines than twenty
years ago. If you’ll do as I say. I believe I can save your business.
"I want you to go to New York tonight, take this statement to your
creditors nnd the letter to them I will give you. When I left New York no
body knew wher< I was going. I’ll take my vacation right here In your store
and pull It out and put you on top agnln. Will you do It?’
John Randal) looked at me a moment, and, laying his hand on inf
shoulder, said:
"I don’t know what your plans are. hut I’m’going to take your advice.
I’ll go tonight and stay two weeks. Whatever you do will be all right with
me and I wish you success." And Randall packed Ills grip and left.
I called oil the clerks and department heads together right there and
gave them a little talk.
"The store will be closed until noon tomorrow, after we close tonight." I
said, “but l want all of you here at 7:30 In the morning, and wearing your
best clothes nnd a smile. Take a look nt the newspapers In the morning and
you'll see why. I may tell you now that Randall’s store has changed
hands."
THE USE OF THE NEWSPAPERS.
I had the department heads In the store that night after closing time
and wo got mighty ousy. I had a bunch of painters, decorators and electri
cians there on the Jump and working all night. I called up the newspaper
offices and got the advertising managers down—they hadn’t called on Ran
dall’s in years, having long ago given him up. The Morning Herald bore
three full pages of a display ad. announcing bargains, prepared under my
direction by the department men who knew the stock. Over It all was the
heading, In flaring letters, “Randall’s Has Changed Hands.” The advertise
ment, was a forceful one. with real Inducements offered, and It did the work.
By morning the store was transformed. The extra force worked all the
morning and before noon the^workmen cleared away the debris and left a
new Interior. The windows, behind thick canvas, had been drfessed attrac
tively. When the hour of noon arrived there was a crowd outside which re
quired policemen to keep In order. We started a brass bund thru the streets,
playing lively tunes and carrying banners announcing that “Randall’s had
changed hands.” The early editions.of the afternoon papers carried pages
of ads., and they reached the crowds early. The town was worked up over
It. Curiosity brought them to town and the bargain list swept them Into the
store. The salesmen, dressed ip new' clothes nnd wearing a'real and happy
smile, gave them the best service they could, and before we closed that night
the sales had equaled those of the entire two weeks previous. And we kept
It up all those two weeks. It. made me He awake at night thinking of new
Ideas, but we sprung something every day to attract attention, nnd the
newspapers gladly printed big stories of the revolution at Randall’s. We
brought In the women from the countryside and we sold them quantities. I
had to wire out orders to replenish stock In several lines. I dressed the show
widows nightly and I ordered new fixtures rushed by express. I spent $2,-
6oalii advertising alone In those two weeks. By this time I was enthu
siastic. as you can guess, nnd I secured permlssl6n from my firm to stay a
few days longer. '
I had not heard from Rundall during these two weeks. His wife hud
kept him In touch with our hustle ihid Its success, however, and I knew he
was due to return on Monday at 10 o’clock. And I was ready for him.
WHEN THE OLD MAN CAME HOME.
In looking over the old books I found that. Randall’s store had Its 30th
birthday on that Monday; I planned to open a week’s special sale on this
pretext and It went well. When John Randall came Into his store that
morning I was having trouble pushing thru the crowd in the store. He made
his way toward me with outstretched hand. I have never seen such happi
ness painted on any man’s face as shone on his that morning. He didn't
have anything to say just then, but we made a silent tour of the busy store
and then went Into his private office and closed the door.
‘/You have made me 25 years younger,’’ said old Randall. “I know
something now' I didn’t know before. Those newspapers are big business
helps. I have been asleep all these years. The newspaper men quit coming
to see me five years ago. I thought a fine old store like Randall’s could get
along without them. I have been growing too old-fashioned with the years.
Do you think I can pull out now?'” ^
“You can. Mr. Randall, If you’ll take my advice again.” said I.' “Turn your
business ovdr to your son. Put him In entire charge of It. He is a young
man and a hustler. I've worked with him these two weeks and Iknow him.
1*11 promise you now that.ge.cxm have unlimited credit at BrowmBrothers as
long as I am credit man there.”
And Randall took my artvic*. The store paid a goodsslzed dividend last
year. Judicious advertising saved thousands of dollars In the revolution of
Randall’s, and It saved an honest old merchant from bankruptcy. More of
It kept Randall’s store going, and it w asn’t long before It had caught and
passed its young and hustling rivals.
There are hundreds of stores like Randall’s today, and especially among
the old firms of the South. Is yours one of them? Are you moving along
In the old rut while others distance you, or are you taking advantage of
modern methods? It Is time to wake up.
