Advertising rates made known on application SATURDAY OCTOBKH. 2d, 1907. Correct. In Albany there has been several arrests lately for selling liquor con trary to law. A few who were ar rested plead guilty and were fined. The others are going to stand trial. The voters of Linn county by a de cisive vote at the last election said they wanted no liquors sold therein. Those that are selling the intoxi cants are simply law-breakers tbe same as anv other criminal is. If we are going to have laws to gov ern us, let them be enforced. If tbe law is no good, repeal it, but as long as it stands, onforce it. No good law-ahiding citizen will say otherwise. Just such violators of the law as Albany has, will make the entire state go dry at probably the next election. If the saloon men and liquor dealers would live up to the law, and the conditions ol their bonds and the oath they take, their husiu ss would not he endangered. But they have not in the past, so the people are going to use their best endeavors by tbeir votes, to abolish the liquor trade. The saloon men as a class, has brought this condition upon them selves and in consequence must abide by the result. The will of the people expressed is nnd sh ould be supreme until over-ruled, wheth er we like it or not. —Silver Lake Leader. In the hill that will be introduced in congress at the forthcoming ses sion appropriating $1,175,000 for the United States government par ticipation at the Alnska-Yukon-Pa- cific Exposition in 1000 there will be a section pledging the manage ment not to ask for a loan from Un cle Sam to carry on the work for creating the fair. The people behind the exposition believe they are fully capable of holding a successful world’ s fair without asking the government for any donation or any loan. A ll the management desires is, that Uncle Sam participate in the same man ner as the states and foreign na tions will do. by erecting buildings and installing therein representa tive displays Use the Newspapers The best way in which the mer chants in the towns and smaller cities can tight the mail order houses is to advertise. They know most of their patrons personally, can show them the goods before they buy them, have many other advantages over the mail order house and in almost every instance can sell just ns cheap, if not cheap er than they can. If the home merchant lacks fore sight and is too penurious to pro perly advertise his goods, why should the publisher exert himself fo keep the trade at home for him ? If solicitations on the part of the publisher fail to educate the mer chant to the fact that he must ad vertise if lie wants to keep up with the procession, then nothing is lett to the inerchaut but to learn in tbe school o f experience, and if the teachings of that renowned school are of no effect on him then there is no place for him, and eventually his place in the commercial world will be taken up by some more en terprising competitor. — Buckeye Informer.
