"DON'T TALK WAR,
TALK BUSINESS"
Advice the Wholesale Houses Give
Their Traveling Representatives.
Here is the message that Chicago
business men are giving to their sales
men: "Don't talk war; talk busi
ness:
It's a cry that has come up out of
the ground.
It is no maae-to-order "tag" to sell
gooes, it is a hard-sense expression
of a conviction. The "small" business
man began to use it before it reached
his bigger brother.
e are talking too much war. We
have other important things to do.
We have to make good the ravages of
war. We have to start our goods go
ing through the channels of trade for
our own protection.
""Don't talk war; talk business!"
Don't spend the afternoon telling
the German general staff how to get
to Calais. Don't fill the morning ad
vising Lord Kitchener.
Do the bigger duty that lies to
hand. Sell goods. Make trade. Make
the United States sound and strong
for the job before her.
"Don't talk war; talk business!"
We are overplaying the war. Big
and bad as it has been to date; bigger
and worse as it may look in the
future, we cannot make it better by
thinking of nothing else. Bank clear-j
ings are 21 per cent off this big
jump irom uctooer ot a year ago,
when they were far below normal.
Things are not as bad as that. It's
time to get our grip on the affairs of
peace.
I We have met the first shock of the
big surprise. We have passed through
it and found ourselves alive. Let's
act like live men.
Let's get our pride to work. Let's
sting into action that native enter
prise we used to boast so greatly.
Let's go ahead war or no war.
"Don't talk war; talk business!"
WATCH THE APPROPRIATION
IN BOTH HOOSE AND SENATE
Editor Journal:--You seem to be
interested in economy, and it i
necessary, if the house would make a
rule that all bills appropriating
money should be introduced at the
end of the first twenty days of the
session and passed at the end of forty
days and sent to the senate fcr them
to pass, it would save a great deal of
what the people call unnecessary ap
propriations. In the past it has been
the custom to make appropriation
bill.? and put in only part of the
necessarv appropriations and send
them over to the senate, and there, at
the last of the session, bring up and
rush through the house a lot of ap
propriations that should not be al
lowed, and sent over to the senate,
and in this way they get a lot of
money for things that are not need
ed, as the renate can't have time to
examine them. Anyone who has a
just claim need no be afraid to have
it put in the bill, but men who have
questionable claims hold them back.
hoping to get them rushed through
in the bill amending the original bill. !
There is no set of men sent there who j
do not want justice i!cne, but house j
and senate are imposed on in this
way and any amendments that are
made after the first bill passes the
house should be submitted to the
governor lor Ms approval, ana n ne
thinks it necessarv he can reommen i
it. This would kecp out bad ap
propriations. "
