What would have happened at the tlmo

This Is considered the highest ait of

a big bunch of pesteas from the salar

state house and a few pesos from some
poor widow or girl stenographer, who
had a father and mother to support, but
when It conies to ro'ii? Into the King's
chamber and decapitating a couple of
counsellors, it Is tarrying the economy
plan altogether too far.
Have not these two gentlemen carried
water to the long-eared representative of
the democratic party for many years and
never until two years ago had a chance
to push their emaciated forma up to the
pic counter?
Did they not fight for many long and
weary years for democratic principles
only to be nosed out at the end by tho
G O. P. fellows who enjoyed the fat of
the land? Did they not fight hard and
strong for the democratic party and the
ever changing principles of William Jen
nings Bryan at the last and previous
elections? Then why, the friends of
these two gentlemen demand, should
they be selected as the human sacrifices
upon the political altar for no other pur
pose than that men who have fed at
the crib in the past and are planning to
feed at the crib in the future ahould
gain prestige and power.

Advertising Is Not
for the Timid Man
Last Sunday morning I
heard a sermon from the
pastor of our church- that
sowed seeds of Doubt. It
didn't sow any seeds of
Doubt in my mind because
my notions of Christianity
have now become settled
convictions and no Preach
er could disturb them, liut
as 1 listened to that ser
mon I wondered what im
pression it was making on
the plastic mind of my boy
who sat next to me. Hav

instruction and inspira
tion from his mother, lie
never had any doubta
about the Bible. His faith
was serene and sure. He
did not know that the au
thenticity of the Scrip
tures had ever been assail
ed by scholarly men. He
supK)sed that if there was
anything universally ac
cepted as the truth it was
the Gospel as recorded by
inspired writers. But here
was our much lovedsand
erudite pastor defending
the Gospel from the "high

first intimation the boy
ever had that the integrity
of the Scriptures had ever

been called in question.
And he was not sure that
the preacher did a good
job of answering the crit
ics. It was not conclu
sive. It was not affirma
tive. Instead of standing
on the solid assumption
that the whole world ac
knowledged tho historical
accuracy of tho Bible the
Preacher wasted his time
trying to defend it. I think
the sermon sowed seeds of
Doubt in the boy's mind.
Th is Preacher reminded
me of tho timid advertiser
the advertiser who takes
a "flyer" now and then in
advertising, but doesn't
believe in it. He does not
understand the psycho
logy of Advertising. There
is nothing afflrmativo or
optimistic in his advertis
ing. He looks upon adver
tising as an expense, not
an investment. If a solici
tor comes in to talk Adver- '
Using he "takes some
spaco" to get rid of him,
or to please a local custom
er or a friend. He does not
look upon the advertising
solicitor as a man who is
trying to help him make
money. He regards him as '
a "holdup artist." "I've
got to show a little civic
enterprise by helping the
local newspaper, you
know." Such aman looks
upon Advertising as a
"gamble."

such a man would learn a
lesson from the successful
advertisers in his own
town. He has but to look
around him to discover
that , the successful raer-,
chants are the big adver
tisers. He could also ob
serve that the best known
products which have tho
largest sale aro made by
manufacturers who aro
large national advertisers.
This ought to be conclu
sive. After discovering all
this he would also learn, if
be made a study of the ad
vertising, that the success
ful merchant use the same
methodical methods of ad
vertising which he applies
to even- department of his
business. His advertising
is not written by the eleva
tor boy, it is a part of the
settled, definite policy of
the firm. A certain sum is
set asido for advertising,
representing u certain per
centage of the net earn
ings. This iaregarded as a
part of the expense of dis
tribution. It costs a certain
amount to move tho goods
and Advertising is certain
ly the principal item in
this cost. Imagine a mer
chant laying in a big stock
of up-to-date under-mus-lins
or clonks one year and
entirely neglecting these
departments the next year.
If advertising helps to
move goods in June it will
help to move goods in
cation
September. If advertising
is a paying investment for
Jacobs & Company it will
be a paying investment
for Jones & Miller.
The fact is Advertising
is not for tho timid man.
It is tho timid man who
calls Advertising a "gam
ble." He has never made
Advertising an integral
factor in daily merchan
dising. A consistent adver
tising plan that extends
over the entire year, based
on an appropriation that
represents a percentage of
the previous year's busi
ness, soon becomes an im
portant factor in distribu
tiou and gradually builds
up from year to year a
"good-will asset" and at
the same time gives a
daily message of store
news and merchandising
information that is of the
greatest value to custom
ers. But the merchant
must go at it boldly with
the same seriousness that
ho would apply to the pur
chase, of stock or . to any
other transaction in mer
chandising. His daily mes
sage in the newspaper
must be positive, affirma
tive and optimistic and
written in such a way as
to leave no room for doubt
as to his sincerity or hU
ability to make good ev
