Mayor-elect Day tells The Tri bune that the list of applications for appointment as marshal and night watchman is about as long as his arm. There are more appli cants for night watchman than for marshal, probably by reason of the latter position being more easily secured. Mr. Day thinks he will write the name of each applicant on a slip of paper and mix them up in a box, draw them one at a time and present them to the council for confirmation. If the council re jects one. another will be presented. This would he a sort of a lotterv plan, but it would be giving each applicant an equal- show. A merchant's expenses, rent, clerk hire, insurance,, taxes inter est, fuel and lights, cost so much per minute whether he sells any thing during that minute or not, now if he has sold ten dollars worth during that minute at a profit of ten per cent he has earned one dollar, but if he sold only five cents worth and made one hundred per cent profit he has gained only 2i cents. So you can see yourself how it is that while we are always glad to sell in little bits, still it isn't the cheapest way for you, nor the best way for us. People who buy in the smallest quantities al vayspay the highest prices. This is a law of business the world over, and you "can't change it."
