Speer's Policy Singles Out Negroes as the City's Criminals
The Drag-Net, an Infamous Piece of Police Villiany, Used Solely against Us. Negroes on Blind Side of Mayor-----Chief of Police is as far as Negroes See into the Machinery of the City's Government.

PATRONAGE UNDER THE CITY DEMOCRATIC ADMINSTRATION We Are Treated As a Race of Criminals and No Patronage Can Atone for the Insult.
Driven to the one argument that the present Democratic administration has given an unprecedented number of paying jobs to Negroes, the colored city employes and the other colored supporters of the "business mayor," rest their case triumphantly, as though no rebuttal can be made and the whole colored race should from sheer gratitude do their utmost to return Bob to the City Hall. So far as the Statesman is concerned it is always sufficient for it that decent men have been nominated and a good platform made by Republicans, for it to support that party. Seven police officers and a few janitors are of considerable weight—for those who have the places—but the personnel of the Democratic party, its foreign element, its union labor element, its ignorant, prejudiced herd right here in the North, to say nothing of the copperheads of the South, preclude any communion between us and that party. It may be urged that Speer is no Democrat of the Negro-hating type; it may be said that he can domineer his followers and assure colored supporters a fair deal; and his appointments may be told in the strongest terms, the to-

tal salary amounting to $1,000 per month; yet though the whole was conceded to be fact, we charge him with branding the Negroes of Denver as criminal; with contributing more than any city executive before him to creating for us a reputation of being lawbreakers.
It was only yesterday that the bull pens of the city jail were filled to overflowing with Negroes, not picked up under specific charges, nor even on general suspecion, BUT ARRESTED INDISCRIMINATELY IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY; WORKINGMEN, CHURCHMEN, PROPERTY OWNERS.
Let the paid boosters for the "business mayor" defend his drag net! Let them argue away the inevitable conclusion that his appointment of five additional policemen discloses a belief in his mind that the colored people are essentially criminal and that they need more policing than other races. Yes, Speer is a Democrat! He and his party have no favors for the race in legislation. Sop, empty praises, political appointments they have for us, but just as Speer has done, by the very nature of the jobs given, they show the low opinion they have for us.
Twenty police appointments would be poor solace for the bitterness of the drag net. They would but be heaping up evidence that in the eyes
of Denver are worthy of consideration only within prescribed limits. How different this from the Republican party of this same county and state. Clerkships, positions of responsibility in various departments of the government, to say nothing of positions of honor in the party. The Denver Negroes who support Mayor Speer's candidacy have no part in the machinery for his election that they can point to without shame, for they literally have been taking orders from the chief of police. So it is that not alone those employed in the police department, but others as well who would deal with Speer, must do so through the police. Let it go forth to the world that this condition of affairs obtains here in this city, and then let us hide our heads in shame. Let us look up! We are not all thieves or thieves' catchers. We have every aspiration that thrills other men's hearts. We do business, we have artisans, professional and clerical men and women who can represent us. We do not live in the under world. The Republican party in this city is the party of hope. We have had four years of Democracy, and for us the Chief of Police—Oh, the shame of it—is the fountain head of wisdom, the visible city executive, the moulder of opinion for colored people.

STOP THE LEAKS!
As we have said before, figures lie; but it is an indisputable fact that the mayor has spent a million dollars more than his predecessor in general expenses; he has added to this more than a million "specials" and then as much more for improvements. For heaven's sake, what purpose do these last two enormous expenditures serve if they do not make it cheaper to conduct the general business of the city? The tremendous territory which now comes in under "Greater Denver" and the better business methods made possible by the Rush bill which centered power and responsibility in the mayor, have increased income and made it possible to lessen expenses. The people have a right to expect a surplus in the city treasury. It is pitifully small and far short of what it should be. Something is rotten and only a Republican auditor, backed by a Republican administration, will stop the leaks.
Fellowship in Graft.
Mayor Speer has done his part in delivering the people of Denver over to the Denver Union Water Company for the next generation. The Water Company has come down handsomely in a campaign contribution just to show Bob they appreciate him.

We refer with pride to our latest creation, the "Superior" Razor Strop, which is a consummated achievement of a tonsorial genius, and is the result of twenty years of trial, experimenting and practical knowledge. This Strop practically marks a new era in American strop manufacturing. The methods and care which is exercised in the manufacture of this strop is the limit of human ingenuity. One of our most beneficial treatments is applied to this strop, which is our secret chemical mixture. This mixture penetrates the air spaces between the molecules and contracts the pores of the leather to the utmost, at the same time killing every germ inhabitant of the animal skin. After having carried through our Famous Antiseptic Process the closest grain possible is produced. In

Mrs. Ethel Cottomus is indisposed.
Mrs. Silas Jones continues very sick.

Redd and Mr. Powell are out to Beaver creek on a trout hunt.
In the pastor's absence this morning the parsonage caught on fire. The prompt action of the friends succeeded in getting the fire under control just as the fire department came on the scene. We wish to thank the women and men and children who worked so faithful to save the pastor's books, as he has a large collection of them.
Dear friends, at this writing word comes that the whole town is under quarantine for eight days or longer, on account of small pox. All public places and all churches are closed. Last year at this time we were flooded by water; this time sickness. Pray for us.
Tuesday night, while the husbands and brothers of the following ladies were out riding the goat, they met at the parsonage and enjoyed themselves until a very late hour with songs and recreations and reading of Dunbar. An elaborate lunheon was served by Mrs. Redd. Those present were Mrs. M. J. Conly, Mrs. Wm. Barns, Mrs. S. Allsup, Mrs. P. C. Redd, Mrs. P. Cottomus, Mrs. M. Allen, Miss Viola Spaulding, Inn Allsup, William and Thomas Allsup and little Elnora Allsup.
FORT COLLINS
Mr. Gus Green is too busy to be seen nowadays.
Mr. James Clay has improved enough to be at work again.
A very heavy snow storm which began Saturday night prevented many from attending services Sunday.
Miss Myrtle Taylor, Mrs. John Lewis, Mr. John Lewis and Mr. Will Clay were the people most concerned in a fishing party last Monday, and consequently there were some very good fish stories brought back.
Mr. Jos. C. Thompson and Mr. C. H. Clay, Jr., are planning a big surprise for the people of Fort Collins in the near future. Watch for us and company.
Miss Lillian Clay, Miss Molly Williams and Miss Jessie Clay took advantage of the theater rates to Denver last Saturday and went down to enjoy the day. It was a very sleepy crowd we met Sunday morning.
We have learned that Mr. Aleo Moore, who left our city a few days ago to live in Denver, has accepted a position in Hot Springs, Arkansas, for the season.
Miss Bedy Ogan has resigned her position at the Linden hotel and departed for home in LaClede, Missouri. En route she will visit Denver, Omaha, Chicago and Kansas City.

Widow's Grief on Discovery of Late Husband's Deception.
The still beautiful woman was sobbing bitterly.
"Don't take it so hard," said her sympathetic friend. "I know it must be very hard to bear, but it is something that is bound to come to each and all of us soon or late. We must make up our minds to go on, however dark the world may seem. I, too, have lost a husband. I know what it is to be crushed as you are, dear. Try to be brave."
"Ah, yes, I know you have lost a husband, but you never had to bear such a blow as has come to me."
"What do you mean? Do you think I didn't love my husband just as dearly as—"
"No, no, not that. You never had to find out that he had been leading a double life."
"Oh! Land sakes! I had no idea it was anything like that! I'm awfully sorry. You poor dear! And I always had such a high opinion of him, too! My goodness, is no man pure any more?"
"He was pure enough, I think, but I have just found out that he saved up over $11,000 besides his life insurance. And he knew I wanted an automobile so much and better clothes than he ever allowed me to suppose I could afford."
Nicaraguan Match Monopoly.
The president of Nicaragua has issued a decree creating a government monopoly of the importation, manufacture and sale of matches and wax tapers in that republic. From January 8, 1908, all consumers must purchase these articles from government agents only. These officials are empowered to take over such stocks (at cost price) as may be in the hands of merchants, and also from individuals who, in the estimation of the official, may have a greater quantity than is deemed necessary for immediate use. The fact that these may have been in their possession one month or one year previous to that time, and regularly entered at customs and receipted for by proper officials, will not avail. All persons having such goods in their possession on January 1, 1908, must notify the government agent, or be liable to indictment as smugglers and punished as such.
New Jersey's Peculiarity.
An affable New York police officer who cultivated the acquaintance of the people who passed his corner regularly, says that he missed a German porter who was in the habit of stopping to speak to him every day. A few days later he reappeared and was asked where he had been. "Over in Jersey," he replied. "What part of Jersey?" "I don't know," replied the German. Funny thing 'bout them towns over in Jersey; they all have different names."
Not for Him.

Occupant of Office—Why didn't you come up in one of those elevators there.

CHINA TO KEEP OLD CUSTOM.
Officials Refuse to Countenance the
Spread of Western Ideas.
A Shanghai correspondent of a Ger-
man paper writes: “The custom
of arranging matrimonial contracts
through agents or matchmakers has
been practiced in China for ages. The
business receives support from all
classes, for although the high-caste
men in some instances select their
first wives themselves, the additional
wives are all secured through the
agents.
“This being so, it was only natural
that a recently distributed proclama-
tion, written by an unknown person
urging the women to rebel against the
old established custom, should have
created more than a little excitement.
The officials ordered the immediate
destruction of the handbills on which
the revolutionary screed was printed
and the arrest of those who took part
in their distribution.
“The empress dowager directs that
further efforts in that direction should
be punished severely, and we know
what that means. She said that from
what she had heard the French mar
riages were for the most part happy
and that these were usually arranged
by the parents.”

HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST,
Remarkable Vicissitudes Undergone
by Stained Glass Window.
The cast window at St. Margaret's,
Westminster, England, wandered
about for more than 200 years before
reaching its present position, and was
the subject of seven years’ lawsuit.
Henry VII. for whom it was intended,
died before the window arrived from
Dordrecht and it came into the pos-
seasion first of the abbot of Waltham
and then of General Monk. Stained
glass was anathema in Puritan days,
so the window was buried until the
Restoration, when it was brought to
light. Refused by Wadham college it
was bought for fifty guineas and erect-
ed in a private house and years later
was bought for 400 guineas by the
committee charged with the restora-
tion of St. Margaret's, and placed in
position in the church. The lawsuit to
which we have referred was brought
by the registrar to the dean and
chapter on the ground that the win-
dow contained superstitious images,
but after seven years’ wrangling the
church wardens proved victorious and
the beautiful window was suffered to
remain undisturbed.

Woman's Feprenree Se Her eel tee is THE COLORED AMERICAN LOAN & REALTY
I wonder if the love ideals of wom-
anhood are changing with the sex,
which is certainly in a transition
state. At one time it was a rare event
for a woman to marry a man much
younger than herself; now it is a com-
mon one. Not so very long ago, in her
secret heart, the unattached maiden
rather longed for a master to whom
she might play the part of admiring
and adoring satellite; but in the pres-
ent year of grace she prefers to be
sovereign herself, and to have a prime
minister who is useful and subordin-
ate. Can this change be in any way
due to the superior inches of the mod-
erm woman? A difference must in-
evitably exist between the day dreams
of the six-foot something and the day
dreams of five-foot nothing. Only the
other evening, at a concert, I was
much struck by the imposing manner
in which a very tall woman, splendidly
gowned, made ier entrance into the
room. She swept in as if the whole
world belonged to her, while behind
her followed an insignificant creature
In black carrying her costly cloak, her
fan and I don’t know what else. Hon-
estly, I felt sorry for him, but realized
that my pity was wasted. One could
see he exulted in his wife’s magnifi-
cent appearance and his own subjec-
tion—Black and White, London.
GOOD THING TO LEAVE ALONE.
Physicians Advice to Those Who Are
Fond of Mushrooms.
It may be possible that when all the
boys are dead they will quit eating
toadstools and dying in spasms there-
from. The edible and poisonous varie-
ties of these fungi are too close to-
gether in general and species for the
average youngster to differentiate
them. It continues, after many years,
to be the same old story: Eat it; if it
kills you it is a toadstool; if it agrees
with you it is a mushroom. Some
years ago the department of agricul-
ture at Washington issued an elab-
orate and beautiful set of illustrations
of mushrooms and “near” mushrooms,
labeling one set “edible” and the other
“poisonous.” The story leaked out
that the printers got the labels mixed,
and that the transposition was not
discovered until the work had been
sent broadcast. The officials did some
tall hustling in an effort to call in the
issue. A well-known physician said
to me the other day: “Owing to the
very great difficulty in ordinary life
of detecting the true from the false,
my mushroom advice has usually been
‘let both kinds alone.’"—New York

Porpoises in New York Harbor.
New York harbor was treated to @

A school of porpoises, numbering as

says the Boston Transcript. The vis-

they assumed that it had been pre
pared expressly for their accommoda-
tion. At any rate, t .ey seemed to ap
prove of it. This phenomenon occurred

FRIEND OF RACE} sue
acquainted with the distinguishes
speaker of the evening, whose pro
nounced efforts have rendered such at
invaluable service to our race — know
ing him in his Kansas home amc ng his
neighbors who honor him, it is a de
light to say that all his expressions
for justice and righteousness, uttered
in the National Capitol are but in
keeping with his daily acts and daily
expressions among the people of Kan-
sas who delight to honor him and
have him represent them in the
greatest legislative body in the civil.
ized world. Mr. Campbell has riseu
by dint of his own efforts from a poor
farmer's boy in Kansas to a piace oi
honor, unbounded confidence and lead.
ership in a state noted for its intelli
gence and men of power.
Since he first entered Congress, he
has been unanimously renominated
and overwhelmingly elected hy the
people of the Third Congressional dis:
trict of that state. His majorities have
been constantly increased jand sig
nally so among those who know him
best—his neighbors without regard te
race.
A friend of all, a leader of all—bril-
liant, unselfish champion of human
rights—a statesman, an honor to his
State and country, it gives me great
pleasure to present to you one who in
these times evinces his iriendship in
a way that he who runs may read, ani
who takes his place with the thow-
sands of true and tried friends of the
race who have contributed by thei
encouragement and sympathy to the
great progress of a grateful rising
people.
Ladies and gentlemen, the [fonor-
able Phillip P. Campbell.”
On Friday evening, May 1, the Hon.
Philip Pitt Campbell, of Pittsburg,
Kan., spoke to a capacity audience at
the Metropolitan A. M. E. chureh of
this city.
Members of Congress and __ their
families were present. Many of the
leading business and professional men
of the city of both races came to hear
the eloquent Kansan, whose speech
Was frequently punctured with ap-
plause.
As Mr, Campbell came forward to
begin his address, which lasted for
‘one hour and a half, one of the most
brilliant audiences which have been
seen in Washington for many a day
gave the speaker an ovation which
lasted for several minutes.
The colored people of Washington
came to honor the man who had op.
posed in vigorous language the Hef
“We do well when we gather her
to hear from one of the friends of th
race with whom the idea of justice i:
paramount to all other considera
tions.
The act inspiring this hearty wel
come which we give him was oné
which called for courage and resolve
of the highest order.
The great benefactors of the world
have been those who, despite un.
toward conditions, established cus:
toms or prevailing sentiment, have
been willing to stand for the right as
God gave them to see the right.
Throughout the years that have
gone, these great spirits have appear-
ed to light man’s way aud tell to the
world that the forces of morality and
right are eternal in their duration.
and all conquering in their effect.
We shall never lose heart so long
as we remember that there runs
through the ages one increasing pur:
pose, and that in the final analysis
victory is the portion of right.
With these thoughts and inspira
tions sustaining them ,the foes of slav-
ery and oppression went nobly to
their tasks, oftimes gladly dying if
by so doing they might contribute to
the onward march of human freedom
Thus the abolitionist and the martyr
wrought, and thus was our freedom
accomplished. All Kansans are justly
proud of the part Kansas played in
this great struggle with which to fin-
ally decide whether America should
truly be the “land of the free.”
It was the Kansas pioneer who went
West singing:
“We cross the prairies as of old,
Our fathers crossed the sea,
To make the West as they the East.
The homestead of the free
“We go to rear a wall of men,
On freedom’s Southern line,
And plant beside the cotton tree,
The rugged Northern pine.”
Many laid down their lives that the
fair soil of Kansas might not know
the clank of slavery’s chains—that
manhood might not be confined to
color and opportunity remain unre-
stricted by race or creed,
From out this great drama enacted
there, came a heroic figure immortal
ized, with name revered by all men
who hate oppression and love — the
Golden Rule—John Brown of Ossa
watamie, whose “soul goes marching
on.” He and his fellows set high the
Kansas spirit and forever after Kan
sans have stood for the vest in human
government,
Having the honor to be personall)

lin amendment to the Trackage bill, which provided for a separation of the races on the street cars of the city, and the man from Kansas seemed pleased at the manifestation of gratitude shown him.
In the course of his remarks he reviewed the achievements of the colored people of the country in war and in peace, spoke of the unparalleled progress made by the colored people in reducing their illiteracy, acquiring property and developing a loyal and patriotic citizenry which would be a credit to any nation.
"I cannot forget," said the speaker. "that when grim visaged war swept across the bosom of the troubled colonies, it was the blood of a black man which was first spilled on Boston Commons at the beginning of that long and devastating War of the Revolution which was destined to last for seven years, before the great triumph at Yorktown. I can not forget that it was Crispus Attucks who led the mob to the attack of the 'Red Coats, crying, 'let's drive them into the sea."
"I can not forget the great service rendered to the nation by Peter Salem, Salem Poor and thousands of other brave black men in that early war of liberation. I can not forget that while General Washington was troubled with mutinous conduct by his starven men at Valley Forge, history does not recount any attempt at mutiny by his black comrades in arms.
All through that long and difficult struggle for national independence, when the army was beset with poverty, disease, mutiny and discontent, when it seemed that all was lost and that England and her mercenaries would subdue the rebellious spirit of the Colonial patriots, black men followed the fortunes of the Colonial leaders and distinguish themselves for gallantry at the Battle of Rhode Island, and on other hard fought fields, and were present when Cornwallis gave up his sword to the great Virginian.
"So has it ever been with our Colored fellow countrymen in all the subsequent conflicts which have come upon us.
"General Jackson and Commodore Perry have both testified in signed communications to the War and Navy Departments of the valor of the Colored soldiers and sailors in our second war with Great Britain.
"But it remained for the great war between the States to come, costing us over 900,000 lives and three billions of treasure, to enable the black man to show to the world that he was capable of reaching the very sublimity of physical courage.
"Wagner and Olustee and Petersburg, the great epics of that war were made illustrious by the martial ardor of our black soldiers.
"The events of the war with Spain are so recent that I need not remind you of the fidelity and courage which marked the services of our colored soldiers in the tropics of both the Orient and Occident.
THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.
"Black men having fought and died for this nation, it is as much their country as it is the country of anybody else.
"They are citizens of the Republic. Their rights are protected by the Federal Constitution which was enlarged in order to give them equal rights under the laws of the several States, and I believe the day is not far distant when that Constitution will be enforced and interpreted as to make disfranchisement and other odious discriminatory legislation impossible of operation.
"Since 1865 the illiteracy of the Colored people has been reduced to less than forty-five per cent. They have acquired over $800,000,000 in real estate alone. They own and operate over 730,000 farms. They have over 40,000 instructors in public and private schools, and their professional classes have shown such a high average of ability as to bring credit upon the country which has produced them.
"This is progress. This is progress of a remarkable kind. It is progress which not even the most enthusiastic abolitionist could have dreamed of; but it has come to pass"
The speaker next reviewed reconstruction and the laws enacted during that period at great length, saying in part:
Whatever else may be said of the laws enacted during the days of reconstruction by the states of the South, they were in keeping with the highest civilized requirements. They conserved the social order by making valid the many thousand marriages which had been contracted by slaves, thereby establishing homes upon a moral basis, legitimatizing the children born under such conditions and enabling them to inherit.
"They established a public school system for the South, the first time in all its history, the wisdom of which has been exemplified by the great material, intellectual and moral progress of that section of the country during the last half century.
"If evils existed during reconstruction, let me say that evils have existed since. If corruption reared its head during that period, let me say that its hideous head has pushed itself insolently and prominently forward in many Northern communities dominated by white men in days which are still to be remembered.
"Wise men are they who seek to solve the national problems of their day and generation. We have to-day what is called the Negro problem, and I believe the solution of it lies in the equal protection of all men by the laws of the land and unrestricted opportunities of all men regardless of race, color or creed."
The speaker was especially happy when he reviewed the efforts of the Colored people at self-help in founding institutions for the higher education of the Colored youth, and referred to Wilberforce, Fiske, Shaw, Atlanta, Western University and Howard University as peacon lights, 'radiating their intellectual and moral influences to the ends of the earth.'
When the speaker concluded he was greeted with prolonged applause which lasted for several minutes. Many of the people in the audience came forward and shook hands with the smiling and eloquent Kansan, who had brought such a message of good cheer and hopefulness.

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE
4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head.
When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE.

The coalition between Mayor Speer and vice in this city, has been so notorious that for this one cause alone, disregarding all others, he should be defeated. Yet it is the unscrupulous character of his administration that now is his chief asset in seeking reelection. Somehow people believe he will steal this election, as was done four years ago. Then thousands of illegal registrations were made, and illegal votes cast, a procedure impossible now under the present laws for registration. Then there were courts friendly to him had there been a contest, now all is different. Then there was the friendly aid of great corporations seeking franchises, now there is only the dubious help of the Water company. The Republican ticket will win. Brains and character always lead. Gambling kings, whiskey barons, heelers, make a splendid political machine, but good people are aroused and Denver will not longer be shamed by the reputation of civic abandon.
There has appeared a new race paper in Colorado, "The Light," of Colorado Springs, with Fred Roberto as editor. We welcome this latest newspaper and from the high opinion we entertain of the editor, we feel free to predict a career of usefulness for it. Mr. Roberts is a graduate of Colorado College, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of his city, secretary of the Freeman Mining Co., a gentleman and a scholar. The sepecial equipment for editorship, Mr. Roberts may lack because of inexperience, but his bright mind and pleasing personality are the best of raw material out of which to make a first class editor. The Statesman, the dean of Colorado journalism, welcomes the newest comes. We hope for it all success.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE AFRO.-AMERICAN MINISTERIAL UNION, MAY 5, 1908.
In the providence of God the hour and opportunity has arrived when the people of the city of Denver can exclude the saloon from the residence portion of our fair city, and as well vote for a man for mayor who will enforce the laws touching the saloons, gambling and vice.

Therefore, Be it resolved that the Afro. American Ministerial Union voice its sentiment in the great moral issue in the hearty endorsement of Mr. Horace Phelps for mayor of the city of Denver and pledge him our support and call upon all our people to do likewise, and our reasons we assign:
First—Since the present mayor has failed to enforce the present Sunday closing law, will he then enforce the local option law if re-elected?
Second-That Mr. Phelps has declared that he will enforce the laws and ordinances of the city of Denver and wipe out the gambling games. Third-That while we are in favor of improving and beautifying Denver, we are first of all in favor of improving the character of the people, and of making the moral life more beautiful.
Fourth-That we are in favor of local option, and Mr. Phelps has solemnly declared that he is in favor of the same and will do his utmost for the enforcement of the law. That our purpose in life is to urge moral and ethical questions of the community and that the great questions before us are moral and ethical and that we enter this contest without regard to party politics or political affiliations.

"Riches," says one of our contemporaries, "do not bring happiness." However, they are more effective than salt if you are looking for something to sprinkle on the tail of happiness.

SHALL THE RACE TRY LYNCH LAW ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?
It is so easy to criticise, to tear down, that it is not remarkable that this year, the opposition to the Republican party has by fair and foul means won many Negroes to their cause. The Statesman believes in the destiny of the Republican party. Not all members of that party are kindly disposed to us, but the great bulk of our friends are allied with it, and our hope lies with it rather than with Democracy. To the end that it may win success at the polls, we offer this space for contributions from our readers bearing on the political situation, with only the usual restrictions of size, legibility, etc.
TRAPS FOR UNWARY
ADVERTISING TRICKS OF MAIL- ORDER HOUSES.
GOODS PRICED BELOW COST
Articles of Standard Value Frequently Sold at Cost to Create False Impression of Cheapness—Unthinking People Victims.
The theory upon which a great number of mail order concerns proceed is to select a certain number of articles, those of standard values and well-known, and mark them down to wholesale prices or lower. This is for the purpose of "baiting," as well as to give the impression that regular dealers are selling goods at prices too high. On many widely advertised goods which are in constant demand the mail order house advertises prices much lower than the actual cost of the goods to the house. This is done with a view of catching customers, killing off the trade of local dealers, and with hopes of selling other goods at enormous profits. Then the advertising part of the deal is of some value.
People like to buy goods at the lowest possible cost. They get impressions of low prices from comparison of goods of which they know the selling price. If a certain rifle is always sold in the gunstores at $14 and the catalogue house sells the same at $11, the average man realizes that he is getting a bargain, even though the concern may lose a half dollar in the transaction. But the man is also impressed with the idea that prices are just as low on other goods of which he has little information as to values. It is knowing this fact that causes the mail-order houses to resort to this trick. Then there is difference in quality of goods. In the different lines there are different grades. It is not long ago that a United States district court grand jury returned an indictment against a large mail-order house on three different charges of fraud. In each case there was misrepresentation. One of the charges was that "pure white lead" paint, supposed to be manufactured by the concern, did not contain a trace of white lead, and was manufactured by contract by another concern. The other charge was that jewelry was misrepresented. In the matter of jewelry there is great chance for fraud. That which is called solid gold may be not over one-tenth gold, a little better than brass. Gold always has a certain value. Whether it is in jewelry or in a coin of the realm, the value is just the same. Its purity and weight is what counts. It is curious how intelligent people who know of the fixed value of gold will take the word of a mail-order schemer as to
quality, when the article is sold at a less price than the metal which it is claimed is represented in it can be bought for in the markets.
Low prices are generally quoted upon goods which the average people understand, and are acquainted with, and the loss is made up on the classes of goods which allow the practice of deception, of the value of which the people little know. People who patronize mall-order concerns should understand that in the majority of cases they are paying more than they would be compelled to pay if they made their purchases at home. Then there is involved the principle of sending money away from the neighborhood where it is earned.
If the people who patronize mail-order houses would only buy such goods as they know are priced below cost to the concern, the mail-order houses could not continue in business a year. But these concerns know that Mr. Barnum was about right when he said that the "American people like to be humbugged." They transact their business accordingly. The home merchant must go ahead on a different basis. He depends upon his reputation for square dealing. He knows that he must be honest, whether he is inclined to be or not, or that he will soon be compelled to get out of business for lack of patronage. The mail-order concerns look for a new crop of "suckers" every year, and they find more or less of a crop.
Economy In Home Trade.
In an address made some years ago before congress the late Thomas B. Reed said: "Which is it better for the farmer to do—send his supplies a thousand miles to the seacoast, 3,000 miles across the water and sell it to the mechanic who gets less wages, or sell it right here at home to the mechanic who gets more wages?" Reed's logic is sound, but he might have gone a little further, and shown the farmer how important it is to have the home market right at his door; how by the building up of the commercial and manufacturing importance of his home town, he widens the market for his products, and that the liveller and better the home place can be made, the better will be the prices he will receive for his products.
Demand Home-Made Goods
One western state that is giving a wholesome example to other states in the matter of patronage of home industries is Colorado. A movement has been well started for a campaign in behalf of Colorado manufactured goods. Even the big department stores in Denver, Pueblo and other cities of the state advertise Colorado made goods, and extol their merits. Colorado people are becoming such advocates of home trade as to ask for articles manufactured in their state, and refuse to take substitutes manufactured elsewhere
