Established in 186 TUESDAY, MAY 13, ALBANY MERCHANTS ARE NOT 'PIKERS' " In fairness to the Albany mcicuauis me t-euanoii n tenoii snouid puousu an ex planation as a ic&uit 01 an tu torial wnica acai s at last weens issue, me criterion goes into a- tit oi luiy oc cause tne Democrat calieu tne attention 01 Aioany mer cnanis to tne scnemes 01 Portland department stores 10 get up-state money into tneir treasuries by onering to pay railroad tares to Portland pro- viaea tne up-state patrons . tought ten tunes as much goous as their tares amounted to. The Democrat wishes to be clearly understood in stating that it was solely responsible for the article. No merchant in Albany uttered a word ot protest. No one said the scheme was not a good one it Portland stores could 'put .it across,' to use the vernacular. But the Democrat did read the Portland ads and felt that something should be done to stop the How of Linn county dollars to the metropolis. It uttered two protests and call ed the attention of Albany shoppers to their duty to trade at home. What effect this had is uncertain, but thus far we have heard of no local people who took advantage of the offer. If they did they should be shamed to return to Albany and ask other local people to support them with their trade or by paying them salaries or wages. We are surprised that Bro. DePew did not get our point that by properly advertis ing their goods and wares in the local papers and letting the people of Linn county know what they have, there would be no excuse for peo ple going to Portland to trade. If Albany merchants attract Lebanon and other Linn county patrons it is because a few of them have pep enough to reach out for this trade and through the newspapers and otherwise convince them that they can and do get big values here; Lebanon merchants can do the same thing through their own papers. A careful look through the Criterion fails to disclose one merchant offer ing his goods to the public. One progressive firm boosts a corn planter; Mr. Robinson, a progressive barber, is ask ing the people for their trade; a pressing establishment urg es its line, an uptodate jewel er is pushing kodaks, but there is not one word or price quotation about drygoods , suits, and other things dear to the heart of woman. Lebanon merchants aio overlooking a! big bet in not having a good, ' live, snappy ad in every issue of the Criterion and Express. I With the amount of advertis ing in this week's issue of the Criterion we fail to see how Bro. DePew can pay labor' and paper bills, and still put out such a fine paper. Per haps this is what is eating on our contemporary trom the strawberry city, and the in jection ot a little 'trade at home' dope into his system will effect a cure. A BLIND BARBER One of the blind men in whom Sir Arthur Pearson is interested, was a barber be fore he went 40 war and lcjt his sight. After he returned to his home, he longed to re sume his old occupation. A man was found who willingly consented to being experi mented upon by a blind bar ber, and the result justified his faith. The blind man shaved him without a scratch. and now has a better business than he had before he went to war. Me is said to do nis work with accuracy and del- icasy unknown in most prac titioners of his trade. The incident may not be important, but it is interesting as illustrating the growng confidence of the blind in their own ability, and the kindness of the public which would cheerfully risk its neck to help a blind soldier.
