THE INDEPENDENT February 23, 1928. THE FOl XDER OF THE REPUBLIC. When a nation overthrows a despotic power under which it has been oppressed, a period of anarchy and chaos inevitably follows. The masses abuse their newly discovered freedom, bitterness runs high, hysteria rules, and the nation's very life is threatened with destruction. This is the verdict of history which we may learn by reading of the events of the French revolution, or, nearer our own time, of the Rusi; n revolution. But the winning of American independence was followed by no such destructive and chaotic period. Why? Were the colonists who formed our government more intelligent more reserved, less addicted to hysteria? We think not. Events which followed the conclusion of the Revolutionary War pointed toward anarchy and the destruction of the liberties that the seven years of struggle were waged to secure. Our people in mass were not essentially different from the world over. I But our nation at that time was gifted with unusual leadership. Through some strange favor of Providence there were then living in these colonies a group of men of astonishing vision and force. Most notable among these was Washington, whose birthday we observe this week. It was ho who presided over th Constitutional Convention at which ;"the greatest instrument ever stricken off by the hand of man” came into existence. It was he, who as the first Chief Executive of this nation gave force to that document. He was great as a general and leader during the trying times of tho Revolution. But he was far greater as the first President of this country. Since his time statesmen have ha d precedent- ' to guide their actions. But he had none. Since then the nation has v acquired power and resjiect in in ternational councils. Tn his day it । was frowned ui>on as a band of I rebellious back woodsmen. I It is fitting and proper that this nation should do honor to his memory throughout Its existence. With out his leadership in those earlv days it is doubtful if our country would have attained its present position of power and Influence in the world In the brief period of less than a century and a half. MERCHANT'S SIDE This "buying at home” idea has two sides. Merchants who neglect to advertise, who fail to shout their wares, cannot complain when buyers Wanting something, order it from a catalogue where they can we inI stead of trainping over the town to । find if Mr. So and So has it. We know of business men in Mt. Auburn who think it is a crime to | send money away from town for 'merchandise, to patronize the products of out-of-town concern' w < n local plants and merchants have similar thing i to sell. The e sanie jmen. however, neglect to do what L .first done by the mail order people —advertise. The Tribune has talked of keep- | Ing money at homo for many years. ; Most merchants and busine? men have agreed with us. Some of them when approached for advertising, {grin, and suggest that the public jknowi all about them. Others, keenly appreciating the advantage of ( keeping their name before the peo- ■ pie, give us advertisements large or । small, as the circumstance- happen to be. No cross word puzzler will have I to perplex his brain to discover wl j I is going to get the most of the busijness of the people of Mt. Auburn Mr. ~, Illinois, Tribune. \xy st \i»\y paper It ij a quiet sabbath morning. Ail nature seems to be in a contempla I. tive mood as it to impress the crea- ■ tures of this world with beaut) and glory of the work of the Supreme Architect. The Sunday paper arrives, a pen derous thing that has consumed the efforts and energy of a veritabh army of men and women. You start to read. The first page, including the banner head, is devoted quite larg*- , ly to the sordid details of crime. You turn over page after page until you come to the lurid headlines that characterize the magazine section. Here you find thrills in abundance. An adventuress tells in her dairy all about her shady escapades. She has been a favorite in a harem, she has had wealth, jewels, moto: cars and yachts from millionaire libertines, foreign nobles and other «uch social parasites. Page upon page of trash, and shortly you throw it aside in disgust. Still there are people who wonder why tho great metropolitan journals seem to be losing influence and prestige among intelligent readers. HIM GANG That boy of yours is a healthy, sturdy, roguish youngster. He is full of spirit and energy. He wants to run, to yell, to wrestle and sometimes to fight. And he is always looking for an opportunity to get out with those other noisy little ruffians who constitute the membership of his gang. But don’t be troubles about him so long as he shows these normal, healthy tendencies. Don’t expect him to boa cherub. Give him his work, let him know the meaning of responsibility, and guide his active imagination and alert mind into productive and wholesom i channels. But don't worry because ho is bound to run with those other noisy little brats. For association with that gang constitutes an important part of bi training. It gives him a sense of loyalty to others in the group. It creates in him the capa^itv fo** hum*n intercourse. It teach' ' to suppress his own individual h - for the welfare of others. long as he transfers that remarkable gang loyalty to a large*' sphere when be grows a little old n r Ihe is all right. He will win the cafreer of which you dream. He will become a good citizen.

BRAIN YS. C APITAL Chain store competition is a source of worry to many individual retailers everywhere. Wo believe ° that they are needlessly alarmed. s Chain store merchandising has some advantages, to be sure. But 15 these advantages fall far short of the claims made by chain operators. Chains can buy some classes of merchandise a t remarkably low v prices. But these are not as a rule, c standard, nationally known items. o For the manufacturer who advertis- j. es and values the name of his pro- f duct will give the chain store no better deal than he will offer to tlm individual retailer. And the individual retail* !- has one marked advantage. That lies largely in the difficulty encountered by the chain in securing competent store managers. I< is hard to secure the sen ices of an able merchant for a mere salary. Ho demands a pro- ‘ prietary interest in tho business he i; developing. Brains will always successfully meet the competition of large capital. < ( MAKING COLLECTIONS Too many people still belies*' that tho suave, soft-spoken, confidence man Is honest and that his get- i rich-quick schemes are economically sound. Too many people also look f with suspicion upon tho project; in- j itiated by the blunt, honest. intelll- ' gent business man. : • So long as this condition prevails j people will continue to make col • lections of attractive but worthless । stock certificates. - Nursery Rhyme for Groun-l ps Mary had a little lamb.
