ADVERTISING DID IT
(Clipped from the, Canby Herald.)
There was an old geezer and he had a lot of sense;
He stnrtedupra business on a dollar-eighty-cents',
ThedplUr fpr sfaeliiandUhe eighty for an ad
Brought hinitthreejQvely .dollars in a day, by dad!
Well, heougMtiuapre,gppds and U little more space
And he played, Jja,t,sy8.tem with a smile on his face' i
The custqmjftpcli.to his twdibyVfour '
And soon; he. ladto, hustle f pr a regular store.
Up on the,suar.e;. wjiere the people pass,
He gobbled, up,a corner that, was all plate glass.
He fixedlu.JJie,w)indovs with the best that he had
And told 'em all, about it iu a half-page ad.
He soon had. 'eni coming; and he never, never quit
And he wouldn't cut down, on his ads one jit.
Well, he's kepfc things humming in the townever since .
And everybodjcalJs him the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck,, but that's all bunk
Why, he was .doing b.usiness when the times we're punk.
People haye .to purchase and the geezer was wise-
For he knew the-way to get 'em was to advertise.

GERMANY AND GERMAN PUBLIC OPINION
The.Berlin correspondent of the World reports that he
has found " no deposition to seek deliberately a conflict
with America," and quotes a high official of tlie Government
as saying, "Germany is not quite that mad."
The. comments, of German newspapers, nevertheless,
are generaUyagpiijs.tic to the United States, and some of
them are, openly hostile. These comments need not be
taken too, seriously,, however. The German Government
can ohange thetone of. the German newspapers overnight
wheneverlt is so-disposed.
This was shown i a the earlier months of the war whfen
German opinion, was first mobilized against Russia. Week
after" week, German newspapers 'and 'German writers fixed
the responsifjifityof-.the conflict upon Russia, and Russia
alone;- SUddftaJWit suited the purposes of the Government
to fasten the blame upon England. Instantly the attitude
of the German press toward Russia was softened and the
campaign of late against England began. That campaign
has continued without interruption.
German antognism toward the United States as reflect
ed in the German press is of comparatively recent orgin. It
all centers arourid the sale of munitions of war to the alies
by American" manufacturers, and obviously draws its in
spiration from Government sources. This sentiment has
grown steadily in "bitterness, but is can be checked whenever
Berlin sees fit to check it by admitting: the truth that there
has beeil' nof 'vidla'tion of international law in American
traffic in munitions' of war.
German sentiment need not worry the Imperial Govern
ment. The sentiment to wtiidh if owes most consideration
is that of the' United5 State's,' andtthis sentiment is not only
unanimous'buPiC'is selfccreated. No Government has' had-'
a hand Tn mTuiEcfurihg it: It is tlte deliberate bplniarY 8f
the American'ceople;
in lifs1 d&ptftclFtO The World from Berlin, Mr. vori
Wiegand says,,that "it.sepms to be pretty generally.recog
nized in'thishnt6e" that th'ere is a-firm hand in President
Wilson's velvet' glowe." That fact cannot be too clearly
recognized.
'lhe German government has hitherto been miserably
informed about American opinion. It .has taken our part
isan! differenc?Berioui8lyj and Ijas" e'ye'iidelutiel itself into
believing that there would be civil war in the United States
If worse came to worse -with Germany- Unless German rep
resentatives in this country have failed miserably in the
performance? oMtfeirr. duty; Berliit must knowr by this, time,'
that the American) people, are completely united on this
issue, that President Wilson's policy of strict accountability
is,their policy, and-.that his note to Germany is their nojte.
Knowlng.this Beriin must know as well that tlie Amerlcaii
people are hoping for a peaceful, honorable settlement of
the issue, but that the whole responsibility rests uporf the
Imperial government
, A public sentiment that can be made or unmade by a
Government meansnothing1 in such a crisis. But a public
sentiment that is' the voice of IOOjOOO.OOO people means
everything, and' the future relations between' the United
states and Germany depend wholly upon Berlin's ability; to
understand 'that meaning,
'i,
v; It takes a man with steady nerve and a quick eye to
have charge of fa gang of trimmers at any time; buVthe
man who can keep his wits and do the right thing at the
right time-whenuiTOan is hurled at the hungry saws, is cer
tainly to be' commerffled. " . v f ,

TAINTED POLITIOS
By Petsr Radford.
This country is suffering mora from
tainted politics than from Any other
malady at tho presont tlmo. There is
scarcely a campaign speech mado, a
platform demand wrltton or a mo'a
euro, enacted into law that docs not
carry tho taint ot personal gain of
Bomo politician or political faction
therfcof.
Thero Is moro "blue sky" in cam
palgn promises of many politicians
running for oftlco than was over .con.
talnfcd In tho prospectuses ot ,tho bcrtd
est promoters ot chimerical' b'usluess
schame.s. Thero aro vmorp .secret cpm
blnatlons formed by pqlltlcians in' tho
namo of "My Couhtry" thhh "wore to vor
formed unor any an,d. all, other
aliases. Thero ara more political ro
bate's hidden in tho phrase "Be It en
acted" thaawere voyer concealed, un
der any and all other disguises;
Tho inordinate thirst for political
powvr and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused moro distress in
thls nation than the greed tor gold.:
and: It ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to mako Junk ot an in-
I dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po
litical supervision and ofUimes de
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are aa alluring to tho voter
as tho story of tho rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation .
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the 1
first law tn politics. Thero aro many
men ia ofllco todny who, if thoy
could not shako plums off tho treo ot
American Uberty-or cut a melon taken
from Undo Sam's commissary, would
haver less dcslro to servo tho public'
The' country is surfeiting with patri
ots, who will baro tholr breast to bul
lets In defense ot their country, but
there are few men in public1 life' who
will barb their breast to 'voiers'or run
tho gauntlet of party dlsfayor in de
fense ot agriculture or industry. No
representative of the" people, wife? will
I permit personal prejudice to dethrone
Justice,; party success t to disfranchise
reason or tho rancor of a political
campaign to lniruence juagmem can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty In govern'merit, and tho Amer
ican'1 'voter Bboulfl' seek these attri
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often bo found, 'to rest over
the stable; the' plow or tho staff of
the Shepherd. Tho surest euro for
tainted politics and machine rule Is
I fresh air and sunshine and these- lm
' portant elements aro most abundant
! upon tho farm, and when farmers,
! bankers and merchants are elected to
membership In legislative bodies, much
of tho trouble in government will disappear.
