THOMAS NOT "WORRYING ANY
State Superintendent of Schools
Ignores Action of Certain Mem
bers of SchooJmaiters' Club-
ISSUES LONG-
STATEMENT
(From Stuff Corres pondcnt)
UNOOLX. March 21. (Special.) State
Su;wrtntende nt A. O. Thomas is not
worrying very much over the action of
certain iwmbtra of the Schoolmasters'
iul at the Omaha meeting last wrV-k and
lb matter than to utterly Ignore It and
ays he has no other desire regarding
the matter than to utterly Irgore It and
pay his attention to more Important
things connected with the-educational
Interests of the state of Nebraska,
which le was elected by the people to
look after.
Kot Especially Comcersed.
However, us a last word he, has this
to say:
"I am not especially concerned about
thej Nebraska Schoolmasters' club. I
have never been Invited to Join it and
have never sought membership in It.
There are among Its members some fine
educators and .some warm ' personal
friends of mine. I do not wish to criti
cise the club, for It always seemed to me
thnt any organisation of congenial souls
vhould have a right to select Us own
members.
"It seems to me. however, that the
cjub might be viewed a little, more
kindly If it were a little moro demo-
ratlc. Becret sessions and secret me
thods of doing business on the part of
educators have never appealed to me.
Please understand, however, that I do
iiot wish to meddle with anything that
is not my affair. I have no enemlp 1
care to punish. I am gYateful to the
jieoplo of Nebraska for the confidence
they have expressed toward me.
What Intcarrsteel In.
"I am Interested tsolelv In the welfare
of, the schools of the jftate. Before the
legislature' meeta again lie people of Ne
braska will spend njoout $25,000,000 for
public education. They are doing thla
almost wholly for the rising generation.
These Interests are too vast and too
sacred to 'be mixed up In any Personal
eirife. ,
"My vindication at tiie recent election
healed all . my bruises. I am reinstated
in my profession. The olfice I hold pre
sents a wonderful field for useful ac
tivity, and I shall not be turned aside
from the work to be done. I firmly be
lieve that any person who will makto a
public office a personal instrument la
unworthy the confidence of the people."
Opera House Block
At Broken Bow is
Burned to Ground
BROKEN BOW, Neb.. March 21. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The Opera House block,
a two-story brick building and ona of the
largest in tho city, was burned to the
ground at midnight Saturday.
When the fire was discovered It had
gained such headway that the firemen
were unable to cope with It. The ground
floor was occupied by Kobtnson Bros.'
hardware store and on the second floor
was the opera house and lodge rooms.
Nothing was saved. The building waa
owned by Joseph Moore of Ansolmo.
Tho loss will probably total 1W00, there
being only about (5,000 Insurance on both
the building and stock. Owing to a slight
now falling during the day, the firemen
were able to keep the flames from spread
ing to adjacent properties. The opera
house was an old landmark, having been
built In 1887. Thla was the largest fire
.that has occurred here since the burning
of the old court house several years ago.
The origin of the tire la not known.

to convince merchants- and
manufacturers that the
newspaper is the medium
par excellence for extensive
advertising the medium
that reaches tlie largest
possible number of consum
ers in a given territory.
Now comes the automo
bile manufacturer with
abundant recognition of the
newspaper as- a medium in
which to reach the largest
number of possible consum
ers. During the time when
the automobile was consid
ered a high-priced luxury its
advertising was confined
largely to the magazines.
But the nearer the automo
bile gets to the. people the
larger the use of newspaper
space. In the matter of au
tomobile advertising the
newspaper is coming into its
own. Just as soon as a com
modity drops', to a price that
is within reach of the larger
bodys of consumers . the
newspaper becomes the logi
cal advertising medium. So
long as the sale of a com
modity is coufined to the
"high spots" in a possible
market, tho advertiser may
confine his advertising to
national mediums which go
to a restricted class with
high purchasing power. Now ,

teen yrsis In South Omaha. The funeral

BELLEVUE STUDENTS HOLD
TRIPLE RALLY IN" CHAPEL
Prof. E. ti. Tula led a gran triple rally
In .chapel at Bellene Friday morning, to
eelehrate the successful closing of the
basket hall season, to honor the track,
team, which ran In tha Indoor meet Fri
day', night and to rouse enUgysiusm for
the Cotne-nel1evti Achate!"
The basket ball team was first es
corted to the platform and given nln
rousing "raha," led by Anna Johnston of
tho debate team. Next the basket ball
team escorted the debate teams and Prof,
Peters, the coach, to the places on th
platform and Captain Oh man led th
cheering for tt.a debaters. Ppeeclieg wcra

of the debaters' league, and Prof. Peters,

being made for prices rang
ing from three thousand
. down to seven hundred dol-
lars, with a constantly en
larging field of purchasing
possibility, the newspaper
becomes a factor of distribu
tion which the manufactur
er cannot ignore. If a manu
facturer is putting a. new
automobile on the market he
can get a certain amount of
national publicity for the
name, and with this he can
establish a certain number
of agencies in large centers
of jopulation; but when it
comes to any comprehensive
wide-reaching plan of dis
tribution he will have to
have the co-operation of the
newspapers to help his sell
ing agents move the goods.
It is one thing to sell a num
ber of agents on the
strength of a double-page
flash in a national medium,
and quite another thing to
move the goods after the
Agents have been "loaded."
National publicity that hits
tho "high spots" for a com
modity that is within reach
of the people is incomplete
und inefficient unless backed
up by newspaper advertis
ing which leads the pur
chaser right up to the door
