OF PICTURESQUE POLITICS
(Continued from first page)
bladder; Thompson, a Democrat, his
fellow Senator, a good fellow, a man
who needs the office, but a 22-caliber
short, and the disorganization of the
only party that ever did anything for
the people. But they are coming
back, and next November X will write
you of the overwhelming victory of
the only party that ever “did things”
in Kansas or the nation.
Hypnotized by the Great Bull
Moose Gas God.
The great majority of Kansas Re
publicans who supported the “Bull
Moose” rebellion, had no thought of
nor care for its issues and pledges of
the coming political millenium. They
saw nothing, heard nothing, felt
nothing but the personality of that
demagogue and egotist, Theodore I!
With himelimated, the so-called party,
like the pricked bubble, collapses.
There never was a party known as
the Progressive party. But there was
an insurrection, a rebellion, a mutiny,
instigated by one man, dominated by
one man and consisting of but one
man.
And, “his like we ne’er shall see
again,” thank God !
Anything Will Grow and Bear Fruit
in Kansas.
Our people are ever ready to em
brace any ism or discarded idea. If
it will not thrive in other soil, pl.ant it
in Kansas, and if it does not bear fruit,
flourish and yield a goodly crop of its
kind, it will result in some new and
heretofore unknown monstrosity that
will attract attention until some
thing more successful is tried. We
are erratic to an extreme, vissionary
to the sane limit, enthusiastic, active,
pugnacious, inconsistent, posses an
inherent inclination to wander off the
reservation, but sure to be present at
“the round up,” eager and ready to
take the brand. Politics is the relig
ion of the Kansan, but it can be said
to his honor, office is not the chief
objective—there is profit, sometimes
in “being the man outside, looking in. ”
Ten years ago we had annual elec
tions, which together with the munic
ipal and special elections, ,each year,
we thought was too much of a good
thing, so we changed to biennial elec
tions. Now our campaigns are three
years long, the subsequent lapping
over into the previous. We feel some
times as if,
On hell’s hot bricks, if politics
And all of such
Were left behind, we would not mind
The change so much!
Yours for Spirit —ual success,
J. W. Farrell.
Making Goods to Fit the Price.
An educational campaign on mail
order methods of buying stock would
do more toward stimulating home buy
ing in this town than any other one
thing. The merchants of this town
buy standard brands of goods and get
the quality they order.
The mail-order concern dictates its
own purchasing price. It is a fact
that buyers for mail-order houses ap
proach the manufacturer of an article
and tell him they must have the goods
at a certain figure. It is ever a ques
tion of price and not quality. The
manufacturer gives the mail-order
concern an article which he has
cheapened until he can make a mar
gin of profit in spite of the price stip
ulation. If it happens to be an article
made of metal, then' an inferior grade
is used, or paint is used instead of
enamel, or some other method em
ployed to force the cost of manufac
turing down to meet the mail-order
buyer’s price. Of course, the out
ward appearance of the article may be
the same as the one carried by the
merchant in this town, but—
The merchant paid more, but he got
more for his money. If you buy of
of him you will, too. Then again a
mail-order house will sell an article at
a loss to attract attention. These
“leaders” are a bait. The catalogue
buyer compares this with the price he
would have to pay here, and noting
the differenqe, jumps at the conclu
sion that everything in the mail-order
house must be less expensive. Para
doxical as it may be, the mail-order
goods are cheaper,but are not less ex
pensive.
If such arguments were logically
sound there is still the social, moral
and religious view to be considered.
The retail merchant is the backbone
of the country town. The mail-order
house is his worst enemy.' The farm
ers need the town and the town needs
the farmers. If the persons in this
. town who buy of mail-order houses
could be brought to realize that buy
ing inferior goods at low prices is not
always a saving of money, a big step
would be taken toward eliminating
the mail-order evil.
The people who buy their merchan
dise outside of the home town are as
foolish as the merchants who send to
other towns for their printing.
