While in the i>ostoffie a few
mornings ago, waiting for the
mail to be distributed we noticed
a large parcel post package lay-
ing on the floor. The size of the
package attracted our attention
and we stooped to examine it.
Imagine our surprise when we
discovered that it was from Sears
& Roebuck, and addressed to a
merchant of this town.
This man is making his living
selling goods. He very likely
tells his customers that they
should trade at home; that Sears
& Roebuck do not buy eggs and
butter; they do not pay taxes to
help support our schools, build
our roads.and establish church-
es, nor do they extend credit
when times are hard—all that
sort talk. . ..
Yet, he would like to check
the large number of mail orders
that go from this community
every week. He would like to
build up his business, and has
dreams of some day retiring
from the business world to live
off the money he has accumu-
lated. He is so eager to save
and accumulate that he forgets
his fellow merchants, and can’t
see that he is letting dollars get
away from him while he is grab-
bing after dimes.
It has been discovered that
the letters sent out and signed
by so many representatives, in
defence o? the new mining law.
was written by one William
Franklin, who tried to get to
Congress last year. It would
seem that the Hon. W, F. had
formed a sort of collusion with
coal trust, and used a number of
legislators in the scheme. Lord
help us to get men in the legisl-
ature next time who are origin-
al. •
Read John H. Wright’s letter
on the last pago of this paper.
Mr. Wright tries to explain mat-
ters, but fails to do so. If he
really wrote the letter in quest-
ion, he should notify the presi-
dent of the United Mine Work-
ers, and help some charitable
institution to that $500.
The politician have begun to
publish their pedigrees, * ‘So the
people may know,” when elect-
ion time comes ’round. Don t
worry “fellers”, the people al-
ready know.
