Ii is not generally known that in some
of our Eastern States human labor has
been degraded to point almost as low
as has been reached in Europe. Such,
however. is the case. 1t was put in
evidence recently, before committee Of
the Legislature OF Connecticut, that in
the large cotton mills, situated in the
eastern part of that State, there are men
employed for eleven hours daily who
can earn only from seventy-seven to
eighty.four cents day. In one mill
also three hundred children under
twelve years of age worked for eleven
hours daily. The parents of these b.
bies testified that they could not live
without putting their children to work
also. Comment on such state of al
fairs in New England, so boastful OF its
superior civilization, is unnecessary.
The race of American freemen seems to
be degenerating there, nor will such sys'
tenn of rearing children do much toward
redeeming it. Let MS OF the West be
thankful for other things beside our
climate and our soil

mining the time and place Of holding the
fair, and in order to consider the all
important question of ways and means.
Last year the wise liberality Of our citi-
zens laid the foundation for that success
of which we all felt proud, md it is to
be hoped, not unreasonably, that, on this
occasion also, there will be a generous
response to the coming call Of the di-
rectors. Tho annual fair Of the Sixth
District has become, very properly. an
institution Of the metropolis of that dis
trict, and 1t bohooves all good citizens to
aid in keeping it in the place where 1t
naturally belongs. As we remarked edi-
torially short time ago. 1t is to be hoped
that in two or three years wc shall have
permanent exposition building which,
beside being ga thing of beauty and q
10y forever" will also be Of manifold
public utility.
At thor late meeting a, President and
Treasurer were chosen by the direct.
ors, and Messieurs +. J. Barrettc and T..
F. Spence, respectively, were reelected
to these offices. 1t is not every one,
however capable, who is willing TO &c
cept positions of this kind, for the hold
ers of them are emphatically public ser.
wants whose burden Is not easy. The
general public, interested only in the
result, is apt to forget at times that, in
| order to mike that result success, there
is needed on the part of the presiding
officer executive ability Of no mean
order. After the relatively easy task Of
arranging the general plan is done the
real work begins. Petty details, every
one of which is an integral part of the
whole plan, multiply as the work con
cretes, apd all the labor connected with
them falls to the Executive Committee

tary, who acts as superintendent also
The last named official is as much slave

the satisfaction OF the Board Of Direct
ors and the public, and, probably, will

a Word to the Wise.

We take the following statement from
late number of Printers Circular, a
publication rarely seen by others than
printers or publishers;
II is sometimes questioned by mer-
chants whether advertising pays. The
question will hardly bear discussion in
the following facts, rates of transient
advertising being figured: The Chicago
Tribune, it is said, for column year,
receives S26, 900. The New York Her.
aid receives for its lowest price column
S39, 1913, and for its highest, S34S, 900.
The New York Tribune, for its lowest,
S29, 1913, and for its highest, $50, GAS, and
these papers ARE never at loss for adver-
Using to fill their columns. Their
patronage comes not from any desire to
assist the respective papers, but from
business men who find it profitable to
advertise. The sensible business man
does not consider whether he libes the
paper he advertises in or not. II does
pettakc long to lind out by experience
where it pays him the best to advertise.
That it does pay he has no doubt, and
raises no questions. Long experience
with almost every business man who has
succeeded has proved that beyond ques.
ton.
No successful merchant, however, ever
denies the benefit of judieious advertis-
Ing. The prices indicated to the unre-
fleeing might seem greater than any
business man can afford to pay, yet in
the great centers of business many
houses expend yearly tens of thousands
of dollars ia advertising. The yearly
sales OF John Wanamaker & Company,
OF Philadelphia, amount to millions Of
dollars, and every day they have from
one to three columns of advertisements
in several of the leading journals of that
city. And the increase of their wealth
keeps pace with the amount of their nd
vertising. Lydia Pinkham-"You for
Health"-with whose portrait all of us
have become so well acquainted, and
who died on Saturday last, advertised
to the amount of nearly two hundred
thousand dollars annually, and her
annual net profits were three hundred
thousand. Instances of the success at.
tending the liberal expenditure OF money
in advertising might be given indelin.
itely. A merchant of Los Angeles can.
not, as yet, enlarge his business to the
proportions of that of a Wanamaker,
but, thanks to the rapid growth OF the
territory dependent upon this city, our
most enterprising merchants are actually
making sales to the amount of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. And the more
liberal these merchants are in the matter
OF advertising the greater their sales
will necessarily be. No one doubts that
the HERALD has the largest circulation
of any of the newspapers published in
the southern portion of the State. 1t
circulates throughout a region bounded
by the Rio Grande on the east and the
Pacific ocean ON the west. An adver.
tisement in its columns is seen by at
least twenty thousand people every day,
and as many more peruse the WEEKLY
HERALD. And it is very gratifying to
us to know that our merchants are
appreeiatiye OF all of these facts. \
glance at the HERALD suffices to show
that the pressure upon our advertising
columns increases daily.
