The Bemidji Athletics are still without a game. This is a case of too many victories. Tomorrow is "Go To Church Sun- day," and will be generally observed throughout the United States. Sam Gordon, who two years ago was a candidate for governor, has fil ed for the house of representatives, and will likely elected. Ho will make a good legislator. Even though we may not get the Federal building for some time, ow ing to the fact that the government architect is months behind in his work, it would be kind of nice to at least know where it Is to be located, when it does come. Three candidates for alderman In the first ward may be all right, for the Socialists have not got a ghost of a show, but try the Same trick in any of the other wards, parti cularly dn the third, and the result would not be Uuard to guess. Advertising Reduces Cost There are some people who believe that advertising adds to the cost of the article which is advertised. Let it be admitted right now, that it costs money to advertise an article and that of course the cost of ad vertising must be added to the cost of making and selling it. There can be no controversay as to that. Where the difference arises, is no the point as to whether" the adver tiBing does not unduly add to the cost which the consumer pays. Some peo ple claim that it does. Some years ago, most of the wash ing was done in the old fashioned way, with a wash board and a good deal of back-breaking labor. Then somebody conceived a ma chine which would do the rubbing, and he thought that everybody would be so enthusiastic over the new ma chine that .he would be able to sell it wherever he offered it. But he soon found, that people didn't go out of their way to find out about his machine. He-would most likely have starved if one dtoy there hadn't come' a chap whose business it was to per suade manufacturers to spend money for advertising. The fellow told a good story and succeeded in convincing the washing machine' manufacturer, that advertising was' the tonic he needed to stimulate the sale of his machine. Presently his advertisements appeared in trade1 publications, then in magazines, and one find day tifie manufacturer found it necesary to provide for the en largement of hia factory, in order to make enough machines to fill the orders which had come in response to his advertising. His machine today sells for consid erably less than he charged when he first started in business, and the only reason why it can be sold at this low iprice Is, that through advertising the sales have become so large that the' cost of making has been reduced. All the improvements which have been added have been given to the consumer without extra chargebe cause of the greater sale, due to the advertising. POLITICAI COMMENT If a law enacted under the best of Intentions, supposedly in the Inter est of the people,, fails to do what it was intended to do, the sensible thing is for its friends to get to gether and make sin honest effort along right lines. This seems to be the situation with reference to the state-wide primary lawBrowns Valley Tribune. Some people are bemoaning the fact that Gov. A. O. Bberaart has so strong a lead on his score of oppon ents that he will again be nominat ed and the governor has not filed. We are pleased that the opposition are honest in tiheir calims that the present chief executiveJs sure to suc ceed himself again this year. ^Tho governor stands higher in the estima tion of the people of Minnesota today than at any time in his political Career and no -amount of knocking mem uoifw oo tl at the post office at Bemidji seooad-el&ss natter under JLct of March 8, 1879. rtittfio wry afternoon snespt fPsaday ^H# attention-ipeid ta anonyinojae oon taumtions.
