TUESDAY, SEPT 4, 1917 NOT HOPELESS The Record's theory of the Russian situation from the first has been that the more pressure the Germans exert the more probability there is that the Russians finally will turn in an en dcavor to hurl the oppressors from the land. The capture of Riga and the probable taking of Petrograd, which doubtless will be accomplished by the usual German refinements, should arouse in the breasts of the Russians more anger than Napoleon's invasion over 100 years ago. The Germans will count on mak ing a separate peace with Russia, but leaders of the new government, re alizing full well the menace that beset it, have declined to enter into negotiations and they undoubtedly will decline to talk peace with the enemy now. Russia can retreat into Asia if necessary; territory amounts to little in so vast a country. OfiWvcial Washington is hopeful of Russia and Americans should not ex pect too much. It must be remem bered that the czar's government would have deserted the allies and probably by this time would have been fighting with the Germans. In spite of every handicap, the Russian leaders insist on fighting the ene. mies of democracy and there is reps on to hope that they will make the rank and file realize the necessity of continuing the struggle. TEXT BOOK ROW Whether the publishing concern that sold the public schools readers for the next five years reduced the margins of the textbooks and sub. etituted inferior paper will be deter mined by state officials and the pub lishers held up to the terms of their contract. If inferior paper was used in the readers, the publishing' house would be able to rob the state of thousands of dollars. In a controversy of this kind it Ta well to understand that there is com petition in the school book business and that representatives of a dozen supply houses always are on the look out for an opportunity to put the other concerns in bad; agents swarm about the capitol during adoption, and no rumor is too wild to get a hearing Irk other words text book men, generally speaking, do not mind using uppercuts to strike down an op. ponent. There are exceptions to this rule, but one is given the impres sion at times that none of the pub lishing concerns is to be trusted. Jealousy might be playing a major role in the present controversy. It is even hinted that a rival publisher discovered the awful fcrime" this time and that it is making the most, of it. The commissioner of labor and printing, however, and the text book commission will consider the matter on its merits and act accor dingly. It is difficult for the laymen to ob tain much information from the re ports of the flighting between the Italians and Austrians, but the rea der is advised to remember the Her mada mountains. The Italians are hammering on the positions here and their capture, according to military experts, will mean the fall of Trieste. It may be a week or a month before these positions fall, but when they do, the Austrian armies will be riven apart and their destruction made probable. There will be nothing to fctop the Italian advance. This community is indebted to Governor Bickett for the message that he brought Sunday afternoon. No man with an open mind couia have heard the governor without be ing convinced of the justness of the cause of the allies, of which the Un ited States now is a great part. There will always be people who will ad mire Beauty less than the Beast, but fortunately they have little weight in their communities. Right and justice always will triumph. Hickory welcomes the Presbyterian brethren who are here today and to morrow for a conference on evangelism. AMERICAN PRODUCTS REPLACING GERMAN By the Associated Presi. iRome, Sept. 4. -"The gap left oy the withdrawal of German and Aus trian merchants from Italy is grad ually being filled by American pro ducts," said It. P. Benton, an Amer ican who has for many years oeen manairer of one of Italy's largest department stores,' but if Americans. Wish to noui mis iraue mey muoi, jjet around to extending credits and ca - 1 11 1 1 A .1 ll -wvt i e- A. MAS tering to the trade by making sman- lot sales. 'l do not mean that Americans should do business like the Ger mans, because tnev can t. ueman business was often a losing proposi tion. The loss was made up in manv cases by direct subsidies of twenty-five per cent, to firms push ing German goods. 1 know person, allv of n bie firm in Milan that ban. died German hosiery. By having this line of eroods manufactured in Germany in its own shops instead of Italy, it received this subsidy ana therefore undersold not only Italian but English competitors. "So vou see. the vaunted German business methods were not really bus iness at all. I think this subsidy arrangement must explain why the Gorman turned out such a lot of poor grade goods. His big object was to make sale under all circumstances The more sales the more subsidy. "Now. at present America is the only country which can supply many of the articles needed here. 1 here fore, if her wholesalers demanded cash at New York, the Italians musv pay or go without the goods. But this system does not tend to build up steady trade. So soon as these merchants get the opportunity, they will buy in France or England, or else make up the goods themselves, as they are already beginning to do. Also, it must be remembered that there are no large combinations ox merchants here, that ft is a country of small stores, and therefore, whole salers must be willing to sell in small lots. In reply to inquiries, an Am. erican firm will send over a hand some set of literature and ask for an order of thousands of the articles in question, when the buyer has only dozens in kind. "'I think the Americans who have looked over the field realize that It aly is really virgin soil commercial. ly, and offers big opportunities foi the esabhshment of manufacturing plants backed by foreign capital and worked by Itr.ran labor From this point of view, a thorough understand ing of the Italian mentality is neces sary and possibly a long campaigik of education to prove to the work man that the employers inter. ests are his interests. At bottoii.. the Italians are good-hearted. kindl people and if you get their good wil your way is much easier. One must be cautious in making contracts, and not mite tneir mue iriCKS too se riously. "From a retail point of view, bus mess , is now very good. The ma jority of my sales are made to the richer Italians. They are willing to pay very high prices for what they want, and they particularly want foi. eign made goods. For this reason American made goods go well. Am erican shoes have already secured a fine market here I think also that the American five-and-ten cent spw iality stores would do well.' Other American specialties like men b shirts, socks, underclothes. rpdv made suits and overcoats may in time secure a wide market, though at pres ent the custom is to wear tailor made clothes." WAS A TOUGH ROOT THE DARKEY TACKLED One of the negro men working fo tne tAy construction Company struck his pick in a tough root one day last week at the corner of Fifteenth street and Eleventh avenue and he marveled at his inability to cut it in twain. He called around him some other workmen and they marveled some more, the while they brought tneir picks aown on it with a ven geance. They cut it in two. That night the white way did not snine. irf electric cable that car ries the juice the obstacle that confronted the laborers, and it was next day before the damage was re paired.
