MEASURING MR. MARSHALL.
That Vice President Mar
shall, who has never succeeded
in convincing some of them that
his measurements are sullicient
to lit the job to which the Amer
ican people, or some of them,
assigned him. Democratic pa
pers are the most vigorous in ap
plying the tapeline and in ex
ploiting his dimensions. Hear
the virile New York World, Dem
ocratic, attend to him:
"Before election ViVce Presi
dent Marshall pledged his word
that he would help the adminis
tration. In obedience lo his-cun
seience he has loyally kept his
vow.
"Before election Nice Presi
dent fell Ihe double duly of run
ning the government and lectur
ing citizens about their private
affairs and private duties. Under
Ihe presen I administration there
is a division of labor. Mr. NN'il
son has devoted himself to the
official cares of the NN'hile House
and. made tariff and currency re
form bis constant pursuit. Mr.
Marshall has cheerfully accepted
Ihe responsible duties ot social
and domestic adviser-in-chief to
the nation. Kaeh draws his share
of the load; Ihe learn work is per
fect.
"NN'hile Ihe president is pon
dering Ihe Mexican situation or
preparing lo affix bis signature
to Ihe U nderwood-Simmons bill,
the) vice president is ever at hand
to relieve him of his lighter la
bors. In this helpful spirit, with
in Ihe few months Mini Mr. Mar
shall lias I.. in Washington, lie
has placed al Ihe service <d all
his conclusions as to slil skirls,
early marriages, home cooking,
high reiils. Ihe cost of living, Ihe
rigid lo inherit. and similar
pressing problems of Ihe hour,
lie is ready for ever,' emergency
Iliat arises.
“There is absolutely mi reason
why, if occasion demands it. Ihe
vice presidenl slioiild*nol. do Ihe
bear-hiinl ing for Ihe adminisl ra
tion or fake lo chasing wildcats
up trees for I he' eiilerlainmeiil of
Ihe nation. After four years of
Ihe kind of special training be
has undertaken ho might even
acquire the versatility and om
niscience to qualify for Ihe job
of coiilrihuling editor.”
THE COLONEL DID IT.
Kvident ly fearful that some of
the glory for the Panama canal
might attach itself to the admin
istration of President Wilson on
account of the identification of
those now at the head of Nation
al affairs with the opening of the
canal for the use of commerce,
former President Roosevelt de
clared, just before his departure
for South America, "I took the
canal zone.”
There we have it. And it is
good to have flu. admission even
if it were called forth by vanity.
A few years ago the friends of
The Colonel and all the the*)
leaders in congiess and the na
tion who are just now obstruc
tionists in Hie minority were pro
claiming that we secured the
Panama canal zone by a legiti
mately made treaty with a coun
try that had secured its inde
pendence from, the United States
of Colombia by the means of a
successful revolution. It is now
admitted that the president of the
United States “took it."
And he took it by subterfuge.
He organized a fake rebellion,
recognized the rebels and con
cluded a treaty with them before
Colombia could send the police
to arrest the hundred or two men
that constituted their army. We
knew it all the time in spite of
the denials, and now the denials
have been denied.
Mr. Roosevelt lias left the Un
ited Stales but one thing to do.
In the name of common decency,
Colombia should be paid for the
territory lie took from her just
as we paid Mexico for the coun
try we' look from her in open
warfare and as we paid Spain for
the Philippines.—Juneau Emnire.

CANADA V8. UNCLE SAIN.
Canada is getting great bene
(its from its liberal policy to
ward immigrants. The Canadi
an government leaves no stone
unturned that will offer an ad
vantage to anyone wishing to be
come a citizen of that country’s
laud holders. Some people are
wont to cry about this and feel
that the United States should be
more liberal. He that as if may,
we must not overlook the fact
that the United Stales has many
natural advantages that Canada
cannot offer to those who come
within her borders. Of course, the
advertising of this liberal pol
icy on the part of Canada has at
tracted lots of Americans to that
country. Up to the present time
our information is that more
people have made money from
the increase in the land values
than those who actually have
farmed the land. If educated
American people want to go to
Canada and leave the opportuni
ties here for our foreign speak
ling immigrants, the funeral is
I heirs.
PUBLIC SERVICE COMPENSA
TIONS.
The greatest service lliaL the
public ever gets usually comes
to it free. .Now this statement
may not meet with the ideas of
many people, hut il is true to a
great extent. In every city and
town in the country are men to
he found who give hours, days,
weeks and years to doing things
for the public for which they re
ceive no compensation. In ev
ery public affair or enterprise of
whatever kind some good citizen
always comes to the front and
gives the best there is in him
and receives nothing in return,
and indeed would accept nothing
if it was offered. Whenever there
is u real job to be done, either in
town or in the country, a call for
help is always responded to by
someone with a higher conscious
ness of what constitutes a dutv
and what the real personal re
compense is.

rata of revenue to I'ncle Sam.
The internal reVeime department.,

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the effectiveness of he methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods i s the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
Light up your stare with Edison Mazda Lamps and
watch your business grow.
Our Lamp Man will advi.*s you how to use them
as profitably as thousands of others are using them
throughout the country.
