JUST ACTION.
The county commissioners lid just
the risht thing when they refused
flatly to grant any extension of the
franchise to the South Bend-Logans-
port intraurban promoters.
They based their action on the
fact that these men have not dealt
squarely with a number of people in
this county. .They have contracted
, bills which have not been paid, and
there is little ehance now of their
ever beim paid. In addition to
this, the continued failure to live up
to the conditions in building the
road, gave another, and in itself a!
sufficient reason, t for not allowing
these promoters to fool along with
thi? eounty any more.
The commissioners cught to
"bang rieht to the willows" on
this proposition and make these fel
lows eome across and pay their
bills before they talk any more
about an extension of franchise or
any other favors.
CONTROL OF TRUSTS.
Tn h:s notable article in the Out
look for Nov. 18, Theodore Roose
velt takes occasion to commend verv
highly the Wisconsin m tboI of deal-
ing with the trusts. He uses this
Tanenase:
"The success of Wisconsin in
-.ml-; wiin me corporations wunin
her borders, so as both to do them
justice and to exact justice in rs-
tnm from them toward the public,
1 as Wn signal ; and this Nation
shrrll adept a progressive policy in
s-stance akin to the progressive
P lifv pot merely formulated n
icrry but reduced to actual practice
nith snc'i striking success in Wis
erns'n." Inasmuch as the Wisconsin law is
f7- Serator La Follette, it' looks
a fleuch the ex-President is favor
able to La Follette for the presi
dential nomination.
FrMent Taft says: "My happi
ness is rot dependent on holding any
office: I shall eo back to, private life
wir no heart burnings if the people
after m unnrejndicetl review of my
aInn:ri!ratioD. conclude that some
on" el 5 can serre them to their
greater advantage." Can you imag
ine n old line politician giving
errr??s;on to such a conclusion?

Regardless
Of what it Costs Us
We Keep Faith with
Our Customers
We have rather peculiar ideas
about running a retail store. We
believe that the merchant -who
looks out for his customers' in- .
terests will never have to worry
about his own interests. Business
success, like happiness, conies to
the average man INDIRECTLY.
The fellow who goes about seek
ing happiness is the most un
fortunate individual imaginable;
. the man who does his duty from
day to day and tries to make
others content finds true happi
mss. And so it is in business.
We believe and alway have be
lieved. that by serving YOUR
interests we shall in the end
serve our best interests.
