IKNOAV not why linn worl d has struck so wild and fierce a gait, but well I know men rim amuck, and seem inspired by hate; and for a kopeck or a buck they'll kill ymi while you wait. AVhen darkness shrouds Ihe eily streets mrii fear to leave their flats, lest sundry lawless sand-hag heals should smash their tor tured hats, or pull some other strong arm feats, or shoot them up with gats. The daily papers I peruse, lo make the wide world's gaiiic, and nearly half the current ne'ws relates to deeds of shame, and jis I don my overshoes a shndder shakes my frame. No more 1 see the "Household Hints" I used to think sublime; -where once they stood my paper prints a narrative'of crime, of how some, dame, arrayed in chint. was buichered for a dime.

The Retail Merchant's Problem and How to Solve It By lidward A, Filene, president, Wm. Filene's Sons Co., Boston, Mass. The retail-merchant pccilples the first-line trench In business. It Is he, and not the nuinufacturer or the whole saler, who has to bear the brunt of public disapproval when prices rise, and who Is criticized wheu price re cessions In the primary markets arc not Immediately reflected In his stock. The public does not stop to realize that Ihe retailer has to place his or ders months ahead bo as to have sea sonable goods on hand when the pulflic wants to b,uy, and that his Helling prices .have to bo based on his coats If he Is. to come out even at the end of the year. Just at jireseut the country is in tho midst of a very considerable downward price movement. This Is (he result of a combination of physical facts and mental reactions. People are refusing to buy except at greatly reduced prices. As u result, retailers inifor iunate enouKli,ti) lie heavily stuck with lilgh-prlced goods ro having to make auliHtantlal sacrifices by inarkliig down to what the public regards as reasonable levels. Other retailers, who have placed orders with jobbers or manufacturers for future deliveries at the old prices, hnve cancelled these orders unl have bepn properly criti cized for so doing. It should bo re membered In thia connection, however, that In the last few years, when prices were rising, nianuf:i"turers set u very bad example by refusing to deliver goods ordered in advahco at the agreed-upon lower prices. Cancella tion of deliveries In a rising market' Is no fairer than cancellation or orders In "a falling market. . If a retailer could "turn" his stock every two weeks, ho .would have little. to .fear In a falling market.. This: Is, of course, iiniiosslble, and. he find.-! himself therefore fuced by two dan gers. (I) that of losing on his stocks on hand as prices fall below his costs; (2) that of losing on good: ordered now for future delivery, (When prices, may do even lower. ;. No general rule can ho Invented which will, -guarantee the. retailer ngainst loss under present conditions.' Tho best policy to follow is one (list enables him to keep tho confidence of his customers. It Is better to lake the necessary loss now and thereby keep jon good terms with your patrons than to tkc a possibly larger loss later and Incidentally lose your following. More over, this larger loss is more than like ly to come, especially on winter goods, which few, If any, cnierully thinking business men will curry over to next season. With an early Easter and the .possibility of a mild winter, It seems apparent (hat Ihe lime to take the nec essary mark-downs Is now. The mer chant who has sold out hisniigh-prlced stock, or who can do so at once, will bo in a position in February to make a profit on the goods he can then buy at reduced prices. 1 Alaska Asks Aid for Protection Reindter Meat WASHINGTON, I), t'.
