Gt-rmany probably will come to Gal
veston togcthr on the French Line
steamship Cuba, a magnificent oil
burning steame, accommodating .350
passengers, which has been especially
assigned for this trip from its regu
lar berth on the New York run.
The revue entries coming on this
vessel will have an especially gay
crowing as trans-Atlantic trourist
travel from Gulf of Mexico ports will
be at its height. In fact, the Cuba
was substituted for this trip be
cause of the unusually large bookings
expected.
Another inducement that will
make this trip attractive Is the stop
to be made at Havana at which
time Miss Cuba will board the vessel
Last year Fausto Simon, managing
director of the Hotel Plaza in Havana
rntertained the beauties during
similar stopover, the event being in
the nature of a coronation ceremony
for the Cuban entry. Undoubtedly,
the twenty-four hour stay of the for
eign bathing beauties in the bril
lian Cuban canital will be as inter
t-sting this year with Mr. Simon again
assisting in that feature.
Those expected to make the trip
on the Cuba are Miss England. Miss
Delgium. Miss France, Miss Luxem
bure. Miss Spain. Miss Italy, Miss
Greece and possibly Miss Portugal
Miss Germany will come direct to
Galveston on a German steamship
sailing from Bremen.
The qualifying contest for the
Plattsmouth ladies will be held at
the Parmele theatre on April 23rd
and 24th and at which time "Miss
Plattsmouth" will be chosen to enter
the state contest.

UNJUSTIFIED TAXATION
PERILS ALL INDUSTRIES
The main danger of excessive tax
ation is not in its immediate cost in
dollars and cents, but in its far
reaching effects upon industry. Busi
ness will go where it can prosper un
I?r reasonable taxes the commun
ity attempting to extract unusual and
unjustified taxes will find itself bar
ren. Our American progress and
prosperity is the result of a contin
ued industrial and business expan
sion. Increasing legislation and taxes
are steadily making such expansion
inore difficult.
An article in a Tennessee news
paper shows the effect of this situa
tion. It says, in part: "Power com
panies are now seeking: to invest more
than one hundred million dollars in
IM-rnianent dams and plants in Ten
nessee, on which they will pay prop
erty, privilege and other taxes now
levied by the state, the counties and
the towns. Threat of extra or spec
ial taxes has halted progress of these
plans.' They will have no market
for the current sold under the exces
sive tax burden."
Such action as this must eventual
ly stifle and destroy all that is best
in the nature of American business.
Wise citizens will do their best to
see that the power of government is
liot used to such rangerous ends.
Los Angeles. April 4. Missing for
more than three weeks since he was
kidnaped from his home, Walter Col
lins, ten-year-old boy, was the ob
ject of a widespread search today by
police who are in doubt as to the
youth's fate. With no clue to the
abductors, investigators were inclin
ed to believe the stealing of the boy
was an act of revenge. This theory
was based on rather vague clues
gleamed from a personal letter writ
ten to the boy's mother by her hus
ban, Walter J. S. Collins, a convict
in a Folsom prison.

Mr. Ritchie stress his admiration for
the great record of Governor Smith
of New York, who raised from the
humblest surroundings had been
elected four times as the governor
of the great stale of New York, com
paring his raise from humble sur
roundings to high places, with that
of Abraham Lincoln.
The chief feature of the address of
Mr. Ritchie was that of an appeal
to the members of his rarty for new
leadership that would give more
promise of success, the interesting of
the younger men in the party in
stead of- denying them a seat in the
party councils and activities. He
told of many instances of those who
had become disgusted with the dic
tatorship that had been evident, the
speaker stated and which had result
ed in defeat instead of enthusiastic
and loyal support that should have
come. If elected as national commit
teeman Mr. Ritchie promised that he
would make a campaign party coun
sel, summoning precinct workers, the
county committees and the state com
mittee in conference to plan and
carry out the campaign and that if
the success of the party came have
the patronage made on the desires of
the members of the committee and as
and' the reward of the faithful work in

he had been misquoted and misrepre

After taking a census of business
failures for 34 years in the principal!
American cities, L. M. Barton, ad- j
vertising manager of the Chicago
Daily News, found that 84.5 per cent
of them were not newspaper adver-j
tisers.
Mr. Barton told the story before ;
several hundred persons at the open
ing of the Advertising, Selling and 1
Merchandising exposition in the.
Arat temple at Kansas City, realtes ,
the Kansas City Times.
"Last year," said Mr. Barton,
"60,536 merchants went out of busi
ness. We do not know all the rea
sons, but we believe, of course, that
there was something they didn't
know about advertising. Perhaps
they didn't realize the necessity of
consistency in advertising. Quoting
from Roger W. Babson, "There arc
six thousand new customers coming
into the market every day, but every
24 hours there is a fresh group of
six thousand persons who never heard
of you before.' " j
Carl F. G. Meyer, president of the
Meier Drug company of St. Louis,
epoke of what newspaper advertising
had done for his business. 1
"Twelve years ago," he said, "I in
herited the business and a deficit
of $1,450,000 along with it. But I
persuaded the trustees to let me have
100 thousand dollars for advertising.
In 90 newspaper I put a full page ad.
1 From that day to this, our business
has had a stable credit. We estab
lished confidence through the circul
ation districts of those papers. We
have paid off our deficit, we have a
satisfactory surplus in the bank and
an unlimited credit." '
