MAIL ORDER BUSINESS
Most farmers depend upon the local
market for their business. Their pro
duce and stock are mostly bought
here. One. would think they woub
appreciate the justice of the demam
for reciprocity and do all their trad
in; at home. Instead many of them
send their orders to Shears and Saw
buck or some other distant mail Ol
der house, bellied by prices quote-!
in an enormous catalogue sent to ev
ery farmer in the United States. lr
niuc cases out of ten it is doubtful if
they secure their goods any lower
than the prices given at home, partic
ularly alter they have deducted the
expense of petting the things. The
ten million dollar meltons cut by a
Chicago Juue list year does nni
make it look as it the mail order hous
es were doing business for their
health. One tanner in Albany a fe'
days ago admitted that during th-.
last year he sent three hundred dollars
to the most noted Chicago hoe. art
he i only one of hundreds doin
aVout the same thing. This simpl.
;::' c business from the local e.:lerr
! e men who ; ay :rc taxes. t!e me-v:-o
bi'ibl the roads, the men jvhc
kv-e; the wheels going, without wliot'
ihii..s would go lo the bottwoAr
cross-lots, and the mail order patror
would have a sorry time of it getting
rid of hi produce. I
And what does Shears & SawhucV
do for this country in the way of ad
vancing the in teres s of our people
With them it is all get and no give
Na. a finger do they lift for the ad
vancement of Oregon. The game i
as one-sided as a slab.
There ought to be a law levying :
high tax on these big mail order
houses in. proportion to the amount
of business they do in a state. Such
a thing might be difficult to enforce:
but it would be justice.
Of cor.rse the local dealer ought t'1
advertise his wares so insistently a
to make a mail order house patror
t. k? noiice and understand that he car
d-' as well, if not better at home; htr
vhclher he does or not the practice
of f ending to Chicago for goods is an
injustice to the men who are the back
bone of the commercial interests of
orr county.
SECOND TERM FOR WILSON.
Alreu.Iy ictdultons are ' Iwri'nx
passed in favor of President Wilso::
accepting the nomination for a second
term. The Democrat was one of tin
lir:t papers on '.he coast to endorse
the candidacy of President Wilson
when he was first mentioned for the
highest office in the gift of our peo
ple, and it will be just as earnest ir
urging his candidacy a second time
All circumstances call for his making
tho run a second time. He has made
good in an eminent manner as a chief
executive, one of the best the country
has had. The United States i for
tunate in having him at the head ir
this critical time, when a mistake
mi;ht thrust the country into a vortex
of war. His judgment and consci
entious loyalty to the principles of
peace have so far kept the country
safe. Nothing can now be seen that
shall justify a change. It is a great
thing for a nation to have at the head
a man of President Wilson's royal
character.
PROPER VETOES.
One of the jokes of the legislature
was the nttempt to make a new judi
cial district out of Benton and Lin
coln counties, giving some lawyer a
job. Another hill provided for a judge
over in Eastern Oregon covering two
counties about like .Benton and Lin
coln. The governor is entitled to
credit for vetoing the bills. Demo
cratic papers generally will commend
the chief executive for doing this. Tlu f
legislature should hae been far-sight- j
ed enough to know that the people
would not endorse anything of thi i
character. 1

lay down, as they have always had to
do since Christopher Coluniho arrive !
several years ago.

since we first called on him. At tirs: '
we dodged his arrows. Since then he
has hern pretty busy dodging our bul

There have been enough lickings
since the war began to have ended the
contest a dozen times.
The last item suggests that it is
barely possible there are some whole
sale prevaricators in Europe.
As bad as war is there are some
people even in Oregon who would like
to see Constantinople knocked into :hc j
liospliorus. j
We are all ready for the collosal
wave of prosperity a good many dis
cerning men have predicted. It has all
been figured out down to such a fine
point one can almost see twenty $

HOLT ADVISES "GO
. SLOW WITH CANNERY"
From the Kriter.
At a cannery lucctiuu held at Alva
dure day before yesterday, J. tl, Moll
in. matter of Ihe Lunelle I'liiit Cmiwers'
asuociatiou, advised the people nf that
fertile section to to slowly ami care
fully wit It their cannery, lakiutr each
forward step only after inMiire dclili
eralion, ami watctiiug the market
closely. U they do this, he told them,
they will have no trouble in making a
success of the instiliilioii.
It is good advice, for it is a brief
summary of the method that has made
I lie I'tigeue cannery one of the most
successful iii the northwest. It, hai
not been followed everywhere, how
ever, and in. my of the canneries of the
Willamette valley are not on a firm
financial footing. They have failed lo
watch their costs They have not giv
en the close study to Ihe marketing
situation that it needed. As a result
their communities have not derived as
much benefit from them as they
should.
Tiie Kugene cannery has gone slow
ly and carefully. It has held its man
factnriii'tf cost dow n to the lowest pos
sible level. And above all it has given
close and unremitting study to the
market so that it would he able al
ways to sell Ihe products of its mem
hers.
There are no greater agents for dc
vclopnicnt in the Willamette valley
Iran well managed canneries. They
provide a market for crops that would
otherwise be unsalable, and in nearly
every instance these crops are inten
sive ones. Thus the way is opened
for more people on the farms. Bit'
merely building a cannery and putting
it in operations is not enough. Sound
judgment must be used in developing
the business.
