ITS EXISTENCE IS I'KOVED
No better illustration of the pow -
er of that insidious tiling "The
System," and of the degenerate,'
distorted "sense of houcr" which j
holds among New York's gunmen,
underworld habitues ar.d social,
pariahs could havo been given th;.n
that furnished by the so-called j
"confession"' of Dago Frank C'ire-j
fici, one of the four Rosenthal,
murderers, a few moments before h>'
paid for a" life of crinio in the el- j
ectric chair at Sing Sing.
Dago Frank, after a kind of fear j
of his Maker had been pi't into his
heart by the hcroic Sing Sing priest,
said that he would tell the details
of Rosenthal's murder. Jn his path
etic attempt to show he had no ac
tual part in tho shootin - he provoii
two things beyond any question ol
doubt—that the four were guilty j
and that "The System" t-xists.
Even in admitting that he was the
virtual leader of the gunmen Frank,
according to Warden Clancey ili.l
not talk freely, because, as he;
naively told Clancey, lie was fear
ful that vengeance, sure and piti
less would be visited on his haple
mother and sisters, bv "members
of the gang" who survived him.
Within a few minutes of the be-1
yond, Dago Frank, once a leader
in that world of iudividu: 1 reprisals
and vengeance, feared to tell all. lie
even went further. IIo laid the ac- j
tual killing to Harry Vallon, whom

Figures do. not always indicate the
price of goods sold by mail order
houses ns scheduled in their [>ri«v lists,
as the catalogue houses are careful
not to mentlou the "extra" cost inci
dental to placimj the order and the de
livery of the article ordered.
The consumer Is governed l>y the
low catalogue price rather than the
delivery cost, the latter means, of j
course, beiDg the correct way of deter
mining the cost of the article.
Consumer Buys Costly Saw.
As an example I reproduce herewith
t conversation whi^h recently took
place In a western town when a con
sumer entered the local store and in
quired the price of a saw. The price
of the saw was the merchant told
him.
"Great guns:" declared the consum
er. "I can get the same article from
a catalogue bouse for S1.50."
"I can't buy It for that price." said \
the merchant, "but I will give it to you ;
on the same terms as the mail order
house. Just the same."
"All right," replied the consumer.
"Tou cau wra^it up and charge it to
me. and when I settle In the fall I will
pay for it"
"Hand Over the Cash."
"Oh, nc, you don't." said the dealer.
"We are doing business on the same
terms as you do business with the mail
order house—no charge accounts. Hand
over the cash, please."
The consumer handed over ?1.50.
' "Now," said the merchant, "5 cents
for the money order and 2 cents for
postage."
"What the"
r ■ "But you must send a lettpr and a
money order to the catalogue Ihouse In
order to get the saw, you know."
The consumer, although de-^ins to
N
I wo courts had practically admitted
was merely a co-conspirator, obvi
ously to bo revenged because Val
lou turned state's evidence; and he
Jid his best to clear one who still
rests under stigma as being the
lead of tiie conspiracy.
Frank's "confession" held him
self and Whitey Lewis guiltless on
lie charge of murder. He protested
that he and Lewis should not be
electrocuted, because, although ho
uluiittedly made all arrangements
or iho murder, he was not at the
>ceno at the time, and therefore
ired no shot at Rosenthal. Lewis,
i>ugo Frank contended, pointed his
juu at Rosenthal and pulled the
:r:.sger, but the cartridge did not
\plode. Therefore, according to the
!'ago Frank way of thinking, and
Frank's opinion mirrors the opinion
A his ilk, Whitey Lewis was not
juilty of murder.
That last minute talk of the
ioottied gunman, has worked as a
ikireback to the fight of certain
sentimentalists that perhaps, after
ill, "those poor boys"we.e not guil
:*• but were being sacrificed to
k'htte-lu.L uublic denta.id for re
is I That last minute talk, coupled
„ ,t h the later discovery of brib
in coi neetion with witnesses
i\ho tried to prove that the gunmen

"Well, by gracious!" he said and

Man Made Mistaks.
"Hand you the saw! Why. man.
where do you think you are? Just rec
ollect that you are in Texas and I am
wail about fifteen days for uie to make
the deliver;.." And. backing up bis
word* wi i actions, he | moke ted the
money, put the -aw back on the shelf
uid smilingly turned (o wait on the
nest customer.
Tlie i lui-uuior pondered, and after he
cot through with his deductions he
<n:d. "The <:iw will cost me

bought it fi i" in the tlrst jilace. and I

me!"
incident vvor;ny or cmuiiiuoii.
The incident related a lim e is one
which both tlie merchant ami tlie con
sumer ni.iy read with protit. ami if
more of the merchants adopted the
same tactics as did the Texas mer
chant they would have fewer mail or
der buyers anions those who should be
their customers.
And there is much more to this
question than price and delivery; there
are often dissatisfaction uud inferior
and damaged goods to contend with, in
the case of goods king damaged eu
route the bujer has either the prospect
of a lawsuit with the railroad com
pany or a correspondence Ggbt with
the catalogue house, neither of which
is very inviting.
Xot iiifrcoueutly does tlie buyer,
mther than to go to all the expense
and trouble iir-idcntal to the exchange
of the article, allow himself to be im
posed upon by accepting the inferior
and often valueless article, an article
which he is actually ashamed to owu
or use.
The Only Safe Way.
There can be but one right way to
buy goods, and that is to have the
goods lu vi. w of the purchaser. Buy
ing from a (.inure is a reckless form
of gambling in which the advantage
is entirely with the seller. lie knows
what your money is. You do not know
what hisgoods are. Hence it is heads
he wins and tails you lose.
That the catalogue house always gets
the better of the bargain is evidenced
by the fact that annually the large
mail order houses declare dividends
the enormity of which appalls and be
wilders the conception of ordinary in
dividuals. who count their profits and
savings in pennies rather than in mil
lions.
There but one right way to buy
goods, and that way is to see what you
buy before you pay for it.
