MBEHTY OF THE PRESS IN
MEXICO.
The liberty of the press which re-
sulted from the Mndero revolution Is
causing a lot of trouble In that be-
nighted land. Correspondents of El
llerado Mexlcano have been invited
to fight duels and an alleged bandit
has landed on the American editor
with a challenge which has caused
that gentleman to remark:
"It Is clear If this thing is to con-
tinue that tho Mexican school of
Journalism will have to add some new
branches to (he curriculum. For
our part we regret to say that our
ancient nineteenth century newspaper
education afforded us no familiarity
with the code, and we greatly fear
that If the methods Inaugurated by
revolutionary loaders to frighten
timid scribes continue the former
terrors of Belem will fade Into Insig-
nificancy
"Challenges get on cur nerves, and
threats to execute our Innocent rep-
resentatives distract our attention
from serious editorials. We trust our
Morelos and Colima friends will not
repeat the offense or we may feel
constrained to say something ruda
that will disclose cur disapproval of
such methods in this enlightened
century and In this republic whose
government has just been overthrown
In the name of liberty and free press."

A Merchant Who Does Not Adver-
tise Believes it More Profitable to
Sell to People Who Know Little
About What Things Should Cosll
He is content to do without the patronage of the
peopie who read ads—and who thus KNOW
PRICES AND VALUES—if he \lan get a "lucky
^share,' through "location" or other reasons, of the
patronage of people who are not educated, by ad-
vertisements, to "know."
He realizes that as soon as any of his patrons be-
come ad readers, he loses their trade—but he hopes
that there may always be a great per centage of
shoppers who do not read ads And he knows that
with such shoppers he stands on an equal footing
with the enterprising merchant.

Best Reason lor Not Patronizing His Store!
