VALUE OF ADVERTISING

The business men of many OF our
cities little realize how much their
local newspaper we'll filled with adver-
tisements of the leading business
firms, has to do with giving them and
their city worthy name abroad. A
letter was received by the TRAN
SCRIPT this week from stranger in
the north part of the state from which
we quote a single sentence: II have
heard a good deal of your town and
with view of going there, I would
like to have your paper so 1 could have
an idea of what your town is" We
complied with the request, but we
have been thinking what an made
quate idea of our prosperous city any
newspaper in this city would give a
stranger. Not one half of our mer-
chants have any proper conception of
what judicious and persistent adyer-
tising would do for them and for the
city. Strangers, taking up the local
papers might justly conclude that we
had little 4x6 town. It is not fair.
1t is not right. The interests of our
merchants are suffering through their
fatal neglect of advertising. Our col
umns should be crowded with business
announcements. Other towns, much
smaller than Austin, give twice and
thrice the advertising patronage which
the Austin papers receive. If we conld
receive one half of the amount ex-
pended on improbable fake advertis.
ing, we could represent our business
interests in a most worthy and profit.
able way.

No one can doubt that Senator D.
B. Hill, of New York is in full ac-
cord with Ex-Speaker, T. B. Reed and
other Republicans regarding the right
of the majority in Congress as else
where to rule. Senator Hill recently
said: "The plain doctrine announced
by the senator from South Carolina is
that the majority cannot pass a bill
that it desires to pass because it must
always, always, compromise with
the minority. l do not believe that.
My position is that under our form of
government the minority has a right
to express it's views, and has a right
to endeavor to impress them upon the
majority. II the majority recognizes
the views Of the minority it has the
right to do so. But I cannot find any
thing in the Constitution of the
United States which says anything
that minority Of senators can pass a

of manufacturing paper from wild
sunfowers. The test was complete
success. Several tons of the weeds

grain buyers unite in the conclusion
announced by the TRANSCRIPT two
months ago that the yield of grain
falls much below that of other yeals,
and therefore better prices should
prevail. Something else besides the
law of supply and demand is ruling
prices this season. Probably present
prices result largely from the unset
tied financial condition of the nation

For many years Kansas borro wers
had no difficulty in securing loans.
The thrifty people of the east were
inclined toward them by sentiment
and sympathy, and thousands of dol
lars from the creditors of the east
went by preference to the farmers of
Kansas. The wild talk among Popu-
lists about reputation and the loose
talk in the senate about farmers never
being able to pay their debts has
changed all this and now it is almost
impossible for the Kansas farmers tC
secure money.
