An Essential for Progress
i Th Outlet
Advertising has become recognized at an ee
sential element in modern life. Without it m
dustry could not continue. One of the results
that the Associated Advertising Clubt of the
World hat helped to brine about it the nracticallv
universal recognition of the fact that advertising
is essential to the merchandising of goods, and
that it is useless to make .nines for tale unlets
there it tome systematic and intelligent way of
letting the consumer know how things may be
.ODtaineo. - - ,
More than that these clubs hare made
clear that it it of no ute to advertise a oroduct
unlets that product is a good product of ita kind.

AuvcrtiBinsi win not ecu uiat wnzn 01 iiscix nas
no merit And so the advertising- agencies and
advertising men have been influences for better
oroductton and Better eroducts. -
In turn, the Associated Advertising Clubt of
the World have laid emphasis, particularly in the
last two or three yean, upon the necessity of
truthfulness in advertising., Not only muat the
goods themselves that are advertised be meri
torious, out what it said about tnem in advertise'
ments mutt be laid in good faith.
: It it a highly significant fact that advertising,
which not to very many years ago had to bear
' the opprobrium resulting from practices that were
. fanciful and tentational and in disregard of truth
- or good faith, has now become one of the forces
tor ethical progress in business. '
Back to "Watchful Waiting.
President Wilson has announced hia intention
of notifying Senor Carranza that the Mexican
eply is quite satisfactory to the United States,
and that negotiations between the two countries
will be commenced as early as possible, looking
to an adjustment of difficulties now existing.
Mediation will not be requested, for the president
of the opinion that commissioners representing
the United States and the de facto government of
Mexico will be able to conclude the needed ar
rangements for peace along the border. Mean
while, the dogs of war will be held in leath, and
'watchful waiting" will be returned on the basil
of a greatly increated armed force. Our govern
ment still questions, unofficially, Senor Carranza't
bility to make good hit promises. The uncer
tainty of hit tenure of office, the lack of fealty
among hia adherent!, and the general incapacity
he hat shown in all serious affairs, combine to dis
credit him. Yet Mr. Wilson, wedded to hit own
viewi and thoroughly committed to Carranza by
hit own actt, feeli he should give the first chief
another chance to make good. The next few
weeks will determine if the old shoemaker's plan
of cutting off the dog'a tail a little st s time it
better than to take it all off at a tingle blow.
Good Move Push It Along!
The announcement from Commissioner Butler
that he will sponsor a resolution to relocate the
hideous "Welcome Arch" that now disfigures our
artistic court house square, is welcome and a
move that should be pushed along. If there ever
waa any good reason for maintaining tnis in
candescent travesty on civic beauty in the most
conspicuous spot in Omaha, it had long since
passed, and the survival aimply belies Omaha a
claims to progressivenest so noticeably manifested
every other direction. If the arch were a
thing of beauty and a Joy forever," people all over
the city would be clamoring for it but it looks at
if it it more of an "Unwelcome Arch" than
Welcome Arch." Any location but its present
location, however, would be an improvement, and
no location whatever would be still better.
Figures Worth Pondering Over.
The report of 'the State Board of Control
shows the total number of inmates in the fifteen
institutions under its supervision, as under1 pre
sumable date of December 1, last, to be 4,787,
which, with 959 on parole or furlough, makes
total of 5,746 dependents, defectives and de
linquents under care of .the state of Nebraska, It
it not wholly fair, of course, to class together all
inmates of penitentiaries, insane asylums, indus
trial schools, schools for . blind and deaf, and
soldiers' hornet, for there it vast difference be
tween delinquents, defectivet and mere depend
ents, but they are alike in the one point of being
.public wards and being maintained, in whole or
in part by the self-supporting inhabitant!.
Theie figures mean that one out of 250 of our
population are constantly in public institutions
and the sad part of it is that half of the number
are in insane and feeble-minded siylumt. The
enumeration does 'not take into count either the
delinquenti in local cuitody or the defectivei
and dependents cared for outtide of state institu
tions. What a tremendous problem is here pre
sented! By what , methods should these unfor
tunates be treated? How stop the steadily In
creasing burden of their care, thus imposed on
others? What measures of prevention are pos
lible through removing the underlying cautet?
Correct aniwert to theie questions will be worth
while,

- "Horn Rule" Loses Again. -
The supreme court of Nebraska has just held
that the state railway commission has a right to
fix telephone rates other! than those named in the
charter of the company. Thia is an extension of
the power of the commission that may be applied
to the confusion if not the overturning of the
right now claimed by communities to regulate
rates for public utilities. It wai held some yeara
ago, in a caae againtt the Omaha Water com
pany, that a city council had no power to bind itt
successor, but it wit not then denied that ratet
contraeted for when franchitei are granted are
not enforceable. ' In the abience of fuller infor
mation at to the case jutt decided, It can not be
aaid exactly what the point involvet, but the prin
ciple apparent it one that holds real danger for
home rule. Communitiea ehould be permitted to
retain the right to bargain for service, and be
permitted to carry out contracta entered into in
good faith. , i

And search his pockets dally.
And as their uncle he will grin
And think the fun Is splendid,
But let a bully bluster In ' :
His patience then Is nded,
And when the fuss he makea Is through
The bully know a thing or two.
He doesn't care what creed w speak,
Or what our hobble may be,
He thinks the strong should guar th
weak
As parents guard a baby.
He doesn't light for every Whim
Nor fume about a trifle,
But when injustice angers hi in
He's apt to grab his rifle.
And when he starts to set thtngf Ugh
He is a dangerous man to light.
He isn't garbed in robes of sham,
But plain and good his ralmenj,
Whoever trust our Uncle Bam
Will find him prompt In payment.
He wants to mind his own affairs,
And lmply do his duty,
And And amid ths thorns and tare
Of life the bloom of beauty.
Oh, very proud, Indeed 1 am, j
To tell my love for Uncle Bam.
