BUSINESS MEN, GET IN THE
SWIM
Don't say because times are some
what out of joint just now that they
are going to remain so.
The American republic is altogeth-
er too big an institution to bo per-
manently knocked out by a bit of
adverse legislation, or by tlie tem-
porary lack of a propel remedial
policy, supplemented by the over-
cautiousness of capital ill the matter
of seeking investment. All this is
merely a temporary contingency.
I'he reawakening is coming and the
business outlook is perceptibly
brighter. As one extreme is apt to
follow another, it would not be sur-
prising to sec the period of convales-
cence greatly abridged by the eager-
ness of capital to take hold of invest-
ments offered. Nor is it improbable
that a season of intense activity will
succeed the depression. This is al-
most inevitable in the very nature
of the case.
But no matter how prosperous or
depressed trade may be, it icquires
rustling in more ways than one in
order to attain the fullest measure
of success tlut is possible under tho
circumstances. There remains some-
thing more for the merchant to do
besides hunting tho cheapest mar-
kets In which to buy the right kind
of goods. Where competition is
sharp among dealers he must be affa-
ble and polite with his customers.
Hut the first thing to de is to induce
the customers to come his way by
advertising to them the bargains lie
lias to offer. To do this is business.
Count that day lost,
Whose low descending sun
Views from thy hand,
N'o rustling for the [teople's | atron-
age done.
I'ut your advertisements down in
black and white, bring them to The
Sun and we will tell 2,000 people
that you are hero ind want their
trade.
The man or woman who never
rends ndveitisoments of mercantile
institutions is, when ho or she goes
to trade, like n tenderfoot in the
midst of n stampeded herd of catetl,
"kinder hoodood" nnd "ra/./.le-daz-
zleil,"
I Jut how can a merchant expect
the people to take advantage of his
inducement- unless hi! advertises in
a newspaper Unit is circulated among
them?
The Sun is circulated among and
read by over two thousand people
whose linde is tributary to Harts-
horne.
If you cannot accommodate the
demand in your line get out of the
way before the procession runs over
you to make room for somebody
with nioic enterprise and greater fa-
cilities.
It is needless for The Sun to state
to the people of the surrounding
country that Hartshorne merchants
carry full and magnificent stocks in
all lines and that they are enterpris-
ing, liberal and do an enormous bus-
iness, for a glance at our advertising
columns will tell that.
The best commercial job printing
executed at The Sun oflU'P at reason-
able prices. Those of our mercliaiits
in need of letter heads, bill heads,
statements, or any kind of job work,
can be supplied at home on liberal
terms. We carry a well selected job
stock for all classes of printing.
DISSATISFIED WITHOUT CAUSE
When murmuring and complain-
ing of your lot in life, slop nnd think
and ask yourself the question if it is
a hard lot, how much of the hard
part is to be attributed to your own
action and can you remedy the evil
by changing your course? Jf so,
then commence to amend at once.
Again, if you think your lot is a
hard one, look around you and coin-
pare your situation with tboce by
whom you are surrounded anil sec if
there are not hundreds of others who
are in a worse condition than your-
self and would gladly exchange bur-
dens with you. It is often the case
that individuals who have comfort-
able homes, plenty of clothing and
wholesome food, surrounded by
friends and have health and strength,
grumble and murmur because tliey
cannot control immense wealth. If
they would but seriously reflect, in-
stead of murmuring tlicy would re-
joicc that they arc so well situated
in life with a good home, plenty of
food and clothing and have good
health. What more do they need,
what more should they desire unless
llioy wish to use it as a means to ad-
vance the comfort and welfare of
others who arc more needy itmu
themselves? Wo can only control
what we have for a few years. All
we can Use for ourselves is what we
cat and wear. When tile end comes
and wc step off into eternity, wc
leave it all behind us for someone
else. It was here when we came,
would have been here bad we nevor
existed. Wre brought nothing with
us into the world, will carry away
nothing when we leave it.
A BOGUS LAW EXPOSED.
A special from Washington of
date March 5, and which appears
elsewhere in The Sun under the cap-
tion, "Newspapers and Subscribers,"
is a mutter of interest alike to news-
paper publishers and newspaper sub-
scribers. It refutes the oft repeated
assertion of many newspaper pub-
lishers that criminal action may be
brought against parties refusing to
pay their subscaiption dues to a
newspaper. We have never believed
that any such law existed* or if it
did, it could not stand a judicial
teat. W lly should debt on subscrip-
tion to a newspaper be a more heni-
ous offence in the eyes of the law
than debt on any other item or com-
modity? Yet hundreds of newspa-
pers throughout the country have,
from time to time published this
bogus law as a threat against delin-
quent subscribers. But this alleged
law, as the writer lias always claim-
ed, has been a drawback instead of
a benefit to newspaper publishers.
Many people have been deterred from
subscribing for a newspaper for fcai
of being caught in some way by this
su pposed law. They were afraid to
make a contrnct that carried with it
a prospective criminal prosecution
and jail sentence. The advantages
of the contract under this supposed
law wore all on one side. Cautious
people very naturally feared to sub-
scribe for a paper with such condi-
tions staring them in tlio face. Ac-
cording to this bogus law newspa-
per subscribers could only get re-
leased from the contract by a regu-
lar and carcful legal proceeding.
Why should a dollar debt on sub-
scription to a newspaper publisher
carry with it different ami more
drastic conditions than docs a dollar
debt on a suck of Hour to a mer-
chant? Such a law would be the
rankest kind of class legislation.
If you want to build up your bus-
iness, build up yoiif town.
When a few do their buty for thd
town and country, those not coming
up to the"sciatch with their mcney
and influence, do not deserve the
patronage of the publice upon whom
they feast, and are willing to squeeze
to the last farthing iu order to fill
their coffers, and that too at their
neighbors' expense. We need no
drones, no blood-suckers, but men
who are willing to live and let live,
and not to whine every time they
see the procession moving itlong for
fear it will cost them something.
The intelligent stranger looks at
the town paper and judges the com-
munity by its tone and appearancei
A man's usefulness in any com-
munity is commensurate with his
character and standing. Kind anil
benevolent acts, with an honest
and generous heart, go more to-
wards establishing a good clmnte-
ter than all the loud professions of
Godliness when coupled with a rep-
utation for stinginess) narrow-
mindedness and a selfish disregard
for the welfare of others.
If you want line schools, secure
the best teachers and pay accord'
"igly.
Newspapers And Subscribers
Washington, March 5.—Assistant
Attorney General Thomas of the
postolllee department has made arl
important ruling in regard to so-
called newspaper laws.
Mr. Thomas decides that a pub-
lisher who makes a demand for pay-
ment of subscription to his paper
through the mail, accompanying tho
demand with a threat of enforcing it
by the use of these pretended laws,
may be prosecuted for attempting to
obtani money under false pretences
provided he knows that these laws
have no existence as laws or as judi->
cial decisions.
These so-called laws referred to
arc those piomulgated often by some
newspapers to the effect that sulv
scriptions to a paper cannot be stop-
ped until full payment of arrcaga
has been made, and that a publisher
may proso=ulo in crinmal action n
subscriber who refuses to take his
paper from tho office, not having
paid full arreage of subscription, oi'
a subscriber who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. These rules,
the assistant attorney general says,
hftvs no existence under the L w,
