How to Advertise.

The National Association of Stove
Manufacturers held its scmi-annual
meeting at Buffalo, n Y, recently. An
address was delivered on the occasion
by S. S. Jewett, the President of the
Association, and senior member of the
famous stove firm of Jewett 4 Root,
which was IA model of good, sound, sen
sible and husiness-like cxpression.-
Among other things touched upon by
Mr.. Jewett was advertising, and his
judgment has great weight on this point,
on account of his ample experience and
sound business sagacity. After taking
strong ground against the wisdom, good
taste or efficacy of tawdry autographs,
gorgeous bills and fence advertising for
the business man, he says:
Il know a gentleman who expcnds
$150,000 annually for advertising, but
you cannot find his name ON the fences;
he is the best advertiser in the country,
but there is nothing comical or grotesque
about his way of doing business. Now,
the members of this association who
patrOnizc the fences are ovcrshadowed
by the great showmen, and are compel
led to keep company with the small ven
ders of thin nostrums, the proprietors
of some three legged calf, the directors
of fat woman, the patentee of some
villainous bitters, or the compounder ct
pills that arc warranted to cure all the
ills that flesh is heir to. | have seen
the names of good firms brought into
this relationship, and have felt sorry for
them. Those in want of any OF the pro-
ducts of our factories are not influenced
by this sort of advertising The glaring
poster neither inspires confidence nor
conveys the information the public de-
sire; and if we would make the best pos
sible use Of our money in giving public
ity to our claims as manufacturers, we
should patronize abb y-conducted and re-
sponsible newspapers, The newspaper
is UNNECESSARILY the best medium open
to our trade; the most liberal and expert
advertisers testify to its value; and in
the employment of its columns we would
find means of escape from the waste
full, undigniied and Ineffective methods
to which so many now resort in their
eager desire to secure attention and pat
rOnage.

THE horrors of war are wildly illus
trated by the Russian bombardment Of
Rutschuck on the south bank of the
Danube, the town being full of non COM
batants, women and children, and the
representatives of neutral powers, who,
in disregard of the usages of civilized
warfare, were not even warned to leave
before the terrible rain of shot and shell
was hurled upon them. The conse-
quence was the indiscriminate slaughter
of young and old, the destruction Of
dwellings, churches, and of the foreign
consulates. The scenes of carnage in
the streets from the Russian shells is
described as most terrible. The only
reason given for this horrible butchery,
in violation to the laws of war, is the
desire of the assailants to avoid a
lengthy siege 1t is as if man should
knock his interlocutor down to avoid an
argument. But it must be remembered
that Russia is a Christian nation fight
ing those Turkish heather.

we have rather weak lungs; that we
know it would improve them if we laid
out bit of garden, sir, and dug in it a
little every day, sir, and fused about it,
sir, and all that, and that we aren't go

we won't dig peck unless the law com

AS per announcement last week,
Packard. of Louisiana made his appear
ance at Des Moines during the holding
of the State Republican Convention,
He found congenial companionship with
Judge Cole, who was his entertainer,
and he made a speech, probably accord
ing to programme, wherein he said that
he was the same Republican to-day as
when in Louisiana, and that he was not
here to create diScord, but harmony, at
which remark the anti-policy fellows
doubtless winked and poked each other
in the ribs. If Packard's mission to
Des MONIES at this time was not to
make capital against the President, and
thus be revenged on him, it would be
difficult to define its purpose.

would enable them to receive his resig-

promptly complied with the request, and

The Centennial Appropria tion.

Centennial stock fell from So to IS cents
last Monday, when the decision in the
Centennial appropriation case was an
nouDced by the chief justice Of the SUI
preme court, and there has been weeping
and wailing IN Philadelphia ever since,
With an excess of impudence which re-
pulses any sympathy which might other
wise be extended to the Philadelphians,
the papers of that city are raving over the
ingratitude of congress in not saving the
Centennial stockholders harmless from all
loss The Press declares that the nil
lions of visitors" who attended the Cen
tennial will receive with sense of disap-
pointment and disgust as just and gener-
Gus citizens, rather than with feeling of
relief as taxpayers, the announcement
that the nation was acting merely as a pre-
ferred creditor instead Of a supporter Of
the stockholders.
But the fact Is, the government is cot
made preferred stakeholder, but its loan
is simply refunded before the stockholders
are permitted to divide anything among
themselves, The government is TO be the
last creditor paid, and the only question
before the court was whether the Centen-
NAL Stock company should pay all it's
debts before sharing money with the stock
holders. This is all that was asked of
congress when the appropriation was
made, and it would be becoming in the
Philadelphia papers to remember that.
But none of them have a word of apology
for the scandalous trickery by which they
hoped to swindle the government, and the
extract quoted from the Press is fully
matched by this from the Times.
1T is true that without the aid extended by the
government in the loan of this money the Centen-
2ial would probably have failed, and as we suppose
that very few of the individual contributors made
their subscriptions in the expectation of getting
their money back the injustice them is not to be
weighed against the injustice which this law as
now interpreted, docs 10 the generous sentiment
of the country
They need MT trouble themselves about
the injustice done to the generous senti-
ment of the country, for that will be
easily endured. 1t is to be hoped, too, that
the permanent international exhibition
which was to be founded with this money,
and which will lose 1925, 900 of the $780,
900 which the transfers of centennial
stock brought it, will be equally we'll able
to survive the shock. The Philadelphia
papers hint that congress will be asked
mot to avail itself of its legal victory"
md to make amends for its niggardlness
OF the past" 1t is idle to indulge such
hopes, for if Philadelphia wants a per-
manent exposition it wilI.have to go into
its own pockets for the money.-iN. Louis
