BjEEKMAN ALL Oregon mourns today tho loss of Jackson bounty's most influential and best beloved pioneer, Cornelius 0. Bookman, who recently passed peacefully away nt tho age oC87, after a life of usefulness and whose remains wore, interred today at Jacksonville, city of his adoption, where for sixty-three years he has made his home. An unusual and picturesque character, Mr. Bookman certainly deserves a niche in Oregon's, hall of fame. Rugged honesty, cautiousness, frugality, simplicity and unostenta tious charity were the characteristics that endeared this true gentleman of the old of Oregonians and secured mm wealth, honor and uni versal esteem. 3n a long and busy life, beginning with the turbulanee of tho gold rush of the early '50 's, and the Indian wars following, through man' decades, tho sterling qualities, the unquestioned integrity, tho financial acumen of tho pioneer banker made him invaluable to his community, though he lacked the initiative of the creator of industry. Of the many millions of dollars entrusted to his enre, jMt. Boekman always rendered full account, lie never lost anyone a penny, mid never wronged a human being, while he befriended" thousands, though ho never heralded his benefactions. The deserving unfortunate never appealed in vain to this true Christian. Every dollar that he made was honestly nuwle. The Bookman bank was unique among the banks of the nation. It was not operated for profit, but for the con venience of the public. Depositors frequently received the same money they deposited, lie did not care for check ing accounts, but his institution from the day of its start until his death was the strong box for the community. Panics might come and go; he always had a hundred per cent of his deposits on hand, and many a time helped more modem banks weather the storm. He would risk his own money, but never the money of others, Ainost useful citizen, 3fr. Beekman shrugged no duly to the commonwealth, and for half a century.served upon the school board and in minor offices. Tn 1878, as repub lican candidate for governor, he was counted out by forty one votes. He did much to forward the cause of education, both locally and in the state, and the Beekman fund still enables deserving students at the state university to secure education. His church benefactions were numerous, and to the dav of his death he maintained the church he wor shipped, in. Though his life work was called him home, there is no one in southern Oregon whoso loss is more keenly felt or whose going causes more regret. SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR IN the March issue of the Metropolitan, Theodore Roose velt has an article censuring the "Wilson administration for not going to war with Mexico and pacifying the coiui try. He views the administration's course with burning cheeks of shame and can hardly withhold his indignation. Mr. Roosevelt is built along the same lines as the Ger man kaiser, who would force his own brand of civilization upon all the world. At heart he is a militarist and a be liever in the feudal and futile glory of force. Our strenuous ex-president loses sight of the fact that tills is a democracy based upon the just consent of the governed, and it is no province of the republic to exert its superior force by invading weaker neighbors and forcing them to adopt an alien civilization. Mexico must work out its own salvation, as all nations that amount to anything have had to do, and evolve its own government. Every country has had to pass through its civil wars before the various factions, tribes and nationalities became fused into an homogeneous nation. Incidentally the country can be thankful that Roose velt is not president. Long ago we would have been en gaged in a costly and bloody war with Mexico. "With the war spirit thereby created, it would be next to impossible, with a hot-headed militarist at the helm, to keep out of the European conflagration. Europe is fast relapsing into barbarism. Attilla tho nun had nothing on the European belligerents as unscrup ulous destroyers of civilization. No rule of civilized war fare is the least respected. Even the ships of neutral nations carrying food supplies are ruthlessly torpedoed by the Germans orseized by the British. Under such condi tions only the calm patience and forbearance and poise of "Woodrow Wilson can keep the nation out of tho relapse to barbarism. "Thank God for "Wilson," and also thank God that Roosevelt is not president. Who Pays for "The man who does not advertise is the man who pays tho tost of the other fellow's advertising," was tho epigram evolved by C. F. Berg, a Portland merchant, In a recent ad dress before the class in advertising at tho University of Oregon. . "Consumers read the costly full page ads. of great national advertis ing campaigns and think they pay the ultimato cob.," said Mr. Berg. "But they don't. Neither does the manufacturer, who can not decreaso the quality 0f his article or make it cost moro to the buyer than a rival article. Neither does tho Jobber or tho retailer pay the cost; their profits remain stationary. "The successful firm's advertising Is bought and paid for by tho firms that are less successful. "Take ten stores, each doing $100 a day business, each with overhead expenso of 25 per cent of goods sold, and each with 25 por cent profit. Ono of the ton owners sets asido 10 per cent of his sales receipts for adver tising and doubles his sales. Ho thus reduces liU ovvrliom" expense to ViVi MEDFORD MAIE TRIBUNE. -.in, n.i iii..BMMiii.jjj Lj.i,i, v ii. school" to several generations complete, and tired nature the Advertising? per cent and his advertising expenso to flvo per cent. Ills profits, accord ingly, aro increased to 37 per cent, less the flvo per cent advertis ing expense, or seven and ono-half por cont more than they wore in the beginning. His additional sales to a great extent mean correspondingly decreased sales among the romainlng nine owners; they havo paid his ad vertising bill, Increased their over head proportionately and lessened their profits proportionately," Mr. Berg described the benefits brought to farmers and rural resi dents by advertising. "Millions of dollars in labor-saving devices are annually sold to farmers through the press." ho said. "When an auto has to ascend a hill, you don't pinch off the gas to save money; you turn on moro gas. Now, business Is all uphill; thore are no level grades, Advertising Is tho gaso line of business. Use It with Judg ment, but do not try to make your saving on it. "Local dealers Bhould uso local papers to connect with national cam paigns by manufacturers," MEDFORD. OREO ON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY .
