MAKING OF A TOWN
Trade territory of a town is
not at all dependent upon the
distance of neighboring trading
points. The trade territory
depends upon the enterprise of
the residents of the town. If a
town does not reach after the
trade it will come only as far as
it has to. Hut if the merchants
go after the business in the
surrounding country, advertis
ing it every possible way, and
making good every word of
their advertising, trade will
come from an ever increasing
radius; the town will gain a
reputation of being awake and
it will forge ahead. It is the
men in the town and altogether
the men living within a certain
number of miles from it, that
makes the town the trade mecca
of a surrounding territory. Ex
change. The Farm Journal says: "J.
P. Morgan can raise $10,000,000
on his check any minute; but
the man who can raise a family
on ifi a week is a greater finan
cier than Morgan."
Expresident Roosevelt pitched
his beaver into the political
ring and then skipped in after
it, but North Dekota has made
an awful dent in that old hat,
and perhaps left a sore upon
the Colonel's bump oh self
esteem. Lafollette's plurity in
that state was large and shows
plainly that he is not dead,
neither is he out of the race.
Roosevelt may yet learn that an
ex-president, retired, is more
popular than one entering poli
tics for a third term. Taft will
cut a large figure, too, in which
case Teddy may envolve from
the ring looking like thirteen
cents.
There are some things which,
when contrasted, are rather odd
to say the least. Under the ad
ministration of Roosevelt and
Taft, the Postmaster General
has been doing all that could be
done to raise the cost of postage
in order to control the situation
and freeze out the country press,
and these gentlemen being at
the head of affairs must certain
ly have been closely connected
with the move. Now it is dif
ferent; each desires the nomina
tion for president and are anx
ious to have assistance from the
same, persons they have been
trying to smother out, hence the
press can have, free of cost, all
the "political dope," furnished
in plate, that publishers will
agree to run, and it is even sent
without being ordered. Isn't is
rather strange that they should
expect so much for nothing?
FOR CHILD PROTECTION
One of the very best argu
ments advanced for equal suf
frage is that giving the ballot
to women to tends promote
good legislation relating to
women and children. There is
need of legislation protecting
the rights of women aiv,d the
welfare of children. There is
need for the enforcenent of such
laws after they are enacted.
If we are to believe so eminent
an authority on chidlren as
Judge Pen Lindsey of Denver,
then equal suffrage is an aid to
the child. "Colorado has the
sanest, the most humane, the
most progressive, most scientific
laws relating to the child to be
found on any statute books in
the world," Judge Lindsey is
quoted as saying.
And Colorado has long been
an equal suffrage state. East
