Base Ball at
Louisville
Among the
Advertisers.
Lccal Fens Have Meeting and'
Decide to Maintain Team. i
Pursuant to rail a base Kail n.f.-tirjr ;
was held Wednesday evening to deter
mine whether or r.ot Louiiville should ;
have a tall team this yc-ir, and the or-1
thusiastic bu:.ch that was present voted j
than we should r.ot only have a Lai! j
teem but one of the Lest in this section
if the state. j
J. W. WalJron was electa! as local
manager, F. H. Nichols treasurer and
Harry Swartz captain. C. A. Riehey
hr.s egrced to furnish th; lumber to
erect an amphitheater and let the Kate
receipts pay the bill. Work on the
grounds has already begun and will be
pushed rapidly.
A base ball game is worth the money.
The amount a ir.an pays to see a goou
clean afheletic game which keeps the
body outdoors in the fresh air for a few
hours and t;:kes his mind away
from the worries of business is r.ot to
be regretted. It is the best money he
ever spent ar.d the cheapest doctor bill
he ever paid.
We have a theory that the reason
that so many more women than men
are invalids is because so few women
are base ball fiends. No woman should
miss a game.and every little girl should
be taught to love b&se ball.
It is understood the managers will
conduct good, clean games this season
and not permit vulgar language or
swearing used on the grounds. The
first game will be played here May 1.

TROLLY OFF AGAIN.
The biggest fraud ever perpetrat
ed upon the American people is the
pending tariff revision. As usual
the consumers are entirely ignored
as well as the wage earners. And
the farmer, poor fellow, he isn't in
the game. A pretense for protec
tion of his interests is male, but he
will never realize o::e cent out of it.
He is an exporter instead of an im
porter, and therefore protection
cannot possibly benefit him. i!ut
the proposed tariff tinkers have pre
pared loads of chaff to be thrown
into the eyes of the fanners, and as
strange as it may seem, thousands
of them are standing with eyes wide
open inviting ;he throwing. 'I he
new revised tarilf will benefit r.o
one exeept the "interests" that
have grown fat under the vicious
system of high protective laws.
Hut that is what the people voted
for and they should not be disap
pointed. I'lattsmouth Journal.
The above editorial is absolutely silly.
No, no, Kunnel" the farmers are not
as ignorant and silly as you assume they
are, when you say, "And the farmer,
1 poor fellow, he isn't in the game. A
pretense for protection of his interest!
is made, but he will never realize one
cent out of it." No. no, "Kunnel,"
the farmer is not as ignorant and silly
a:i you charge him with being. He is a
reader, and more than that he reads
intelligently and he is capable of dis
criminating the good from the rot you
dish up. The farmer remembers that
from l.w,J3 to WJt) the Wilson-Gorman
Tarilf law was upon the national stat
utes and placed there by a democratic
congress. The farmer also remembers
that under your kind of tariff he was
forced to cell his corn at from 1" cents
to 2'J cents per buahel, and his wheat at
from o0 cents to M cents per bushel..
The "farmer also remembers that in IH'jT
the Dinglev Protective Tarifr law was
passed by a republican congress and
nlmost immediately the price of farm
products began to rise, and that from
that day to this he has been selling his
corn at from 40 cents to TO cents per
bushel and his wheat from 70 cents to
$1.10 per bushel.If you mean, "Kunnel"
that kind of chaff is to be continued to
be thrown in the eyes of the farmers
then can the "poor fellows" be blamed
for thousands of them standing with
eyes wide open inviting the throwing?
Nor can the farmer be blamed if he
continues to whisper to the tariff man
to just keep right on throwing the same
kind of chaff for another decade? No,
"Kunnel," the farmer is not ns ignor
ant as you accuse being by writing
su:h rot.

The Ni;ws-Hki(AI.d takes a sreatdcal
of pride in its advertising columns. Not
j only because this fenlureof the businesH
is depended on for a considerable port ion
', of the income of the office, but the ad
vertising columns of a newspaper arc
generally ami quite rightly regarded nst
an index to the character of the busi
; ness of the city. Upon glancing over
; the local paper the newcomer or the
i casual visitor will form a conception of
the business importance of n city. If
' the paper be tastily gotten up and the
advertisements show that care and
painstaking effort have been exercised
in their preparation, the effect on tho
render is wholesome.
Pusiness methods are constantly
changing. To be successful you must
keep abreast of the times. Newspaper
spin e is not a luxury - it is a necessity.
Look about you- who are the success
ful business men? Invariably the ad
vertisers stand foremost in the busi
ness community. Hut newspaper space
lone will not turn the trick. Intelli
gent thought must be given to thc
pivparation of the copy. Tho whole
efficacy of the mail order houses lies in
their advertising. They offer no better
goods, nor are their prices lower, - but
they do know how to advertise. Num
erous I'lattsmouth business men sell
numerous articles at a less price that
is made by any mail order house.
Among our new advertisers may be
mentioned Mr. M. K. Manspeakcr. Ho
lms the agency for J. I. Case ma
chinery and has recently closed a con
tract with this pai.i r for sixteen hun
dred and eighty inches of space to ad
vertise it during the next live months.
His initial announcement appeared last
Thursday and his second today. Mr.
Manspeakcr has advanced ideas along
advertising lines, and a cartful perusal
of his business talks will certainly in
duce prospective machinery purchasers
to see him.
Soennichsen, the grocer, is another
who is taking advanced ground on the.
publicity question. Paying advertising
bills is just like psying rent bills-it
doesn't matter so much now much you
pay if you get the nturns. And cer
tainly the mail order houses have de
monstrated the soundness of this jwisi
tion. Mr. Soennichsen conducts a
really excellent grocery store, and thc
proper kind of advertising will greatly
increase his sales.
