Advertising.

The man who doesn't understand adj
vertising and knows nothing of the in
calculable benefits from persistence in it,
occasionally places few lines in his
home paper. He wants it in but one
time, and perhaps pays dollar for it.
That outlay he expects will bring him
ten thousand fold. II it doesn't. and that
right away he declares advertising doesn't
pay. He seems to think that returns
should begin at once. But like the seed
that is put in the ground it must ger
inmate, then take root, and finally burst
forth into the sunlight. Persistency in
advertising, and the making of attractive
advertisements, are the true secrets oil
success. OF course they should be put in
paper like the ARGUS. which is always
neatly and cleanly printed. and with a
large circulation. Then advertising
pays.

Judge wllkinson's Opinion i.

Everyone admits that Judge Ira O.
Wilkinson is very learned lawyer, and
when he gives an opinion on any subject
that he has carefully considered, it is gen
orally taken for granted that things are as
he says. 1t was by reason of his legal
ability that the city council selected him
to revise and consolidate the ordinances
The city also engaged him in the Cramer
case. We simply cite these facts to
show our readers that it is gener,
ally conceded that Judge Wilkinson
has very lucid understanding of deli.
cate points of law, and his opinion on
many disputed questions is earnestly
sought after. Now for our reason in
speaking of the merits of Mr.. Wilkinson $
legal ability. When the ques>
ton arose, care Mr.. Murdock's ap>
pointments legal9" an ARGUS represen-
tative visited the venerable limb OF
the law above mentioned, for his opinion
upon the matter. He was all the better
qualified to give correct opinion on the
question, as he had made the ordinances a
study for some time. 1t was his unpreju>
diced opinion-and we so published it at
the time--that the appointments were
illegal, for several reasons, the principal
among which was that there was no
meeting held. Mr.. Wilkinson still clings
to his first opinion, and is backed by
three fourths of the legal fraternity of the
city
But Mayor Murdoch emphatically re-
fused to listen to what Judge Wilkinson
or any one else had to say that held diff
ferent opinions from himself on the subs
ject. How was it in regard to the assistant
engineers at the waterworks, however,
When the council refused tc approve the
engineers bonds on the ground that they
were not city officers. but were employees
of the superintendent. the mayor became
exasperated and cited Judge Wilkinson
authority for his action several times. The
Judge agreed with him then and he en-
deavored TO use his opinion to further
his own ends. The casual observes
might say, where is the consist
ency in the mayors policy? /
Judge Wilkinsons opinion was good
enough for him in the case of the en-
gineers. why would it not apply to tn,
legality of his appointments" The ques'
ton is plain, simply because it did moi
suit his purpose"
The ARGUS is not disposed to censurt
Nr. Murdoch unjustly. and as the 9ues
ton of the appointments was virtually
settled by the adoption of the minute
when they we're made, it is useless to say
more about them. except to hope that tht
appontees will not violate the trust i'm
posed in them by the mayor, but VII
prove faithful officers.
