BUSINESS IS FINE.
“We have no kick on business,"
•aid Mr. George Robinson, of Me-
Creary & Company, Wadnoaday. “If
our buainata continual to ba at good
aa it haa been for the paat forty-five
daye we will have had a aplendid aea
aon. All wa want ta cold weather,
for you can't expect people to buy
winter clothino in summer weather."
PLANT OATS THIS MONTH
PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
“If the cotton farmer will plant
fifty per cent of hie available cot
ton acreage, or about 18.000,000
acrae. In oate. (plant them deep
with a rill to provont freeiing)
he will have solved the problem
of crop reduotion. At soon a»
this fact is officially known
through the department a* Wash
ington, the value of cotton will
immediately respond to th 6 new
conditions and will advance at
onaa to 10 or 12 conta par pound.”

DISAPPOINTING PRIMARIES.
# The remit* of the primaries In
iMKit's in which they are being newly j
tried reveal the trail of the political j
serpent over it till. Hence, there

generate sons of the old ayetein
triumphant **l*lold-you-aos" and "you i
can't rhinKC human nature"
Poor old human nature, of course
you can't change it Primaries give
the political bosses and scheme* a
great deal of cgtra trouble and a great j
deal of extra expense, hut they do not t
annihilate them At an enormous

roar of the (Kilitical machine. Now
to those who cling with loving loyalty
to old and established abuse* thegr
disappointing result* offer abundant
and conclusive proof of the irreverent
folly of raising a hand against the j
Ciud of thing! a* they are. We notice
tltat expressions of inconsolable grief
over the results of the primaries
come mostly from the sources, which
hgve originally and ulwa>s opposed
them, but the victory of the political
schemer, such a* It is, hss been hardly
won and costly.
Th* primary 1* * measure that I* !

ever offered, an opportunity to the
people for free and Independent po

and the tremendoua determination of
the boaae* to remain In control at any

chinary at their first trials? Isn’t It
far more reasonable to believe, that a*
the difficulties and expenses of con

aclouaneae of power and Independence

It le true that the primary' goes
no farther than carrying the horse to
the water. It does not propoa* to
make him drink, but counts upon In
stinct and Inteltlgenre for that The
system of selecting candidates for of
flea by primary election* Inatead of
conventions Is manifestly more fair
T» has Its shortcomings and Imperfec
tions. but with careful working out
theoe will gradually be lessened It ,
Is Inconceivable that we will ever set ;
It aside and go back to the old way i
Suppose the horse doesn't drink right
away; leave him in front of the water .
and he will find out a way. i

Styles For Men!
Will London still dominate the styles for men?
Will there be a new and distinctly American
note in clothing?
What will be the influence of the war on male
attire? That there will be distinct changes in many
classes of apparel as a result of European conditions
is apparent. They may not. however, manifest them*
selves until Spring are ready.
In the attire for Fall and Winter are many at
tractive patterns and fabrics even if distinct novelties
are infrequent.
The stores are now showing these new things and
the advertising in The Herald gives the news of their
whereabouts from day to day.

he was alone. He walked around the
room, looking for a place to alt down
when suddenly a goblin tumbled down
the chimney with a chair. It wag very
small at firet, hut as Hubert looked at
it it grew large enough for him to
alt on.
"Won't you sit down?” asked the
goblin, pushing the. chair toward Rob
ert.
Robert was tired and he reached
for the chair, when to his surprise he
said "Oh 1 don't want to!" And tlie
goblin took away the chair and dis
appeared.
Then a table appeared. It seemed j
to come right up from the floor. It
was filled with all kinds of good things:
to cat all the cakeg and puddings l
Roliert likol heat. A goblin appeared
beside it and asked Robert if he would
not like to eat his supper.
Robert was very hungry, and lius
lended to reply that he would, when
to his surprise lie said instead, "Oh,
f don't wunt to!"
"Very well, If you do not want your
supper, 1 will take It away," said the
goblin; and it disappeared as quickly
as It came.

At last he thought he would look jut

He opened the window and looked

INSTEAD OF COMPETITION,
CO-OPERATION.
By John Boulter, Chicago Managed
National Mutual Alliance.
The plan of the National Mutual
Alliance is somewhat similar to the
co-operative movement established in
IM4 by twenty-eight weavers of
Rochdale, England. Following the
i>lans of the Rochdale weavers so
many co-operative societies were es
tablished that in 1864 those societies
combined and incorporated a whole
sale and n anufacturing society,
known as the Co-operative Wholesale
Society. This society, whose
known headquarters are In Manches
ter, England, operates branches, de
pots and warehouses at Newcastle-on-
T.vne, Bristol, Liverpool and London,
with sale and sample rooms at Not
tingham, Blackburn, Huddersfield,
Birmingham, Northampton Cardiff
other places in Englapd and Wales.
The Co-operative Wholesale Society
Carries on'bustnesH as wholesale deal
ers hankers, manufacturers, mer
chants, shippers, carriers insurance
and in all other lines of business not
excluded by special legislative acts,
such life insurance. The members of
the Co-operative Wholesale Society
are the retail co-operative members
i societies by whom the capital ts sup
plied. There is also In England an
other Wholesale Co-operative Society
THE WAR TAX&S
The administration is to be commended for its decision to impose
stamp taxes, similar to those of Spanish war times, rather than a spe
cial tax on frefght. The plans for taxation, as agreed to in the democratic
caucus. Include a stamp tax on commercial and legal papers, and special
taxes on hanks, brokerage houses, theatres and other places of amuse
ment-taxes which were applied during the Spanish war. There will also
be a tax of 2 cents a gallon on gaaoltne, and special taxes on tobacco man
ufacturers and dealers, and on domestic wines and beer. It Is estimated
that $105,000,000 will be obtained from those various sources —-$35,000,000
from the stamp tax; $5,800,000 from hankers and brokers; $4,000,000 from
tobacco; $32,000,000 from beer; $20,00,000 from gasoline, and $8,000,000 from
wines. *
In reverting to the stamp tax of the Spanish war. the democrats
showed both wlgdom and ability to followr the good example set by another
party, for it was the republican party which, in 1898, devised thf stamp
tax system which worked so well and was so productive of revenue The
value of a stamp tax Is that 4t la direct The fallacious theory which at
tracted supporters of the proposed tax on freight was that the coat would
be distributed. Even so, but by this distribution it would be multiplied
many times, and the burdens thus much increased. A stamp tax ought
also to produce results more quickly than a freight tax, and with less
expense of collection The democratic members of congress were divided
on the question and for a time a break between congress and the presi
dent seemed possible.
These special taxes will, of course, be Imposed only as long as war
conditions make them necessary. They should be regarded as burdens to
he home only until the ordinary revenue of the national government Is
restored. It will be noticed that the burden of taxation rests on tobacco,
wines Hnd beer —a total of $44,000,000. The remaining portion of the $106,-
000.000 total will be divided among various sourcea. The stamp tax is the
heaviest single Item, but It will he more easily borne and more easily re
moved than a tax on freight. An agreement having been reached in con
gress. these extraordinary taxes will probably soon be Imposed.—lndian

and paying upwards of $7,000,000 for

official report of one of the distribu

10,000 members located in a town of
about 40.000 inhabitants saved (paid
in dividends) to its members (the “ul

which together with savings on dry

to between $175,000 and SIBO,OOO in
