a MILLION A YEAR.
This Vast Sum Is Annually Expended In
Advertising by One Conosrn.

This Vast Sum Is Annually Expended In
Advertising by One Concsrn.
Much has been written and said
about advertisers and advertising, but
IL Is perhaps not generally known that,
not only is the greatest amount Of ad-
vertising done in America, but that
the largest personal advertiser ia an
American. Several houses, both in
Europe and Amsriea, sxpend upwards
Of half million dollars per year in
advertising; but the advertiser referred
to has actually expended during the
past year over million dollars wholly
in advertising This vast sum of money
has not been squandered. but has heen
carefully, judisiously scien tificslly ex.
pendended, and it has paid a profit OF
fifty cents for every dollar expended.
Here is certainly valuable lesson
for those who advertise or have ad.
vertisiug in contemplation. 1t shows
that half-hearted attempts at wooing
the Goddess Of Fortune by advertising
are not profitable, and that even ex-
tended efforts are Improbable unless
done Systematically, scientifically and
with the greatest care and judgment.
1t is not our purpose to give the name
of this advertiser, who, besides being
the largest one in the world, is eer.
tainly the most retiring and modest,
but We may say, incidentally. that he
is the protector Of the pre-digeSted
food, Paskola which, however. is only
small part of the business transacted
by this concern. Men of this special
genius are rare and the success which
attends their efforts still rarer, but
such success shows what can be accom-
plished 10y we'll conceived plans and
superior effort

One Term For State Officials.

The bill introduced by Represen-
tative Snyder IN the Legislature,
making the governor, the Secretary
Of the State, the State Treasurer,
the sheriffs aud treasurers of the
parishes, and the treasurers of all
municipal corporations within the
State, ineligible for reelection, is a
bill that will commend itself to the
general sense of the community.
The reasons are various why such
a bill should be on the statute book,
and they will readily suggest them
selves to readers of The Times Dem
ocrat. In the first place, this is a
Democratic government; and oppor-
tunity should be given as many as
possible, who are fit and who are
trusted by their fellow-citizens, to
fill the State and corporate offices.
1t is plain that if one man, or one
set of men, be allowed to feed at the
public crib, not for four years alone,
but for eight years IN succession,
the chances that many other deserv-
ing citizens of the same generation
will have similar opportunity be-
come very attenuated. The period
of holding public Office should fo1
this reason be restricted to four
years at the most.
If officials were debarred by law
from entering upon or even from
seeking a second term, they would
devote themselves less to intrigue
and scheming by what means they
might succeed themselves, nor would
they spend time in forming comb
nations and other devices to help
them to reelection, but they would
give themselves up single-eyed te
promoting the good government
and 80 furthering the general welfare
icf tae State. At the same time
moreover, if they had any of th'
seeds of crookedness latent in them
they would have UNNECESSARILY les
Glance of developing their laten
crookedness in single term thai
| if they had twice or thrice that tim
in which to cultivate and give scoop
to their disguised rascallty.
4 These are some of the reason
why Mr.. Snyder's !. bill for making
State officials ineligible for re-elee
ton is commendable one; an
others will suggest themselves to GU
readers. The bill is the less objet
tionable in that it is not aimed a

Representative Wyly has introdu ced
bill ia the House providing qualifica-
ton for the election of police jurors.
Mr.. WHY had this TO say to Times
Democrat reporter relative to the
provisions of his bill
The Governor in his message rccom-
mends "that hereafter police juries
will be elected by the people"
Although we have for many years had
q general law providing for the cleo
ton of police jurors, it has been GUS
tomary for the General Assembly to
give The Chief Executive the power to
appoint those officers in order to pre-
vent the administration of parish
affairs, in those parishes having large
maiorities of illiterate and negro
voters, falling into the hands of ire
sponsible and incompetent police
jurors.
Now, however, it appears that the
Governor, the General Assembly and
most of the people of the State are
DESTROYS that the temporary expedient
of appointment should no longer be
exercised.
In the parish represented by me,
and in many others where like con-
dition of affairs exist, it will never do
to have police jurors, with the qualifi.
cations now provided by law, elected
as the consequence would be that the
local affairs and finances of my parish
aud of many others would be turned
over to incompetent and wholly ire
sponsible men, and thereby plunge the
people of such parishes into condi.
ton of affairs against which we have
longed struggled--a condition which
would mean for us q state of anarchy
aud financial ruin in our local govern
| ment.
/ To remedy the prospective evil
above indicated have introduced
bill to provide additional qualifications
for police jurors.
Under the present law police jurors
must have the qualifications OF mem
bers ofihe House of Representatives
The additional qualifications l pro
| pose in my bill are 1st that they shal
be able to read and write; I'd, tina
i they shall each own in their own RICH
property of an assessed value $25'
situated in the parish for which the.
are elected. The bill further provide
| that it shall take effect at the mex
general State election.
/ think / propose very moderat
additional qualifications for officer
charged with the duty and response
bility of disbursing thousands of dol
lars OF the peoples money. In fact

cation were ii not for the fact that i
a few parishes there might be som
difficulty in getting citizens with tn
necessary qualifications to serve a

a Red Hot Campaign.

Breckinridge's Congressional dis
trict may not be the most import
ant in the country, but it is certain
.ly the hottest to be found anywhere
Just now. How the pistol has
failed as yet to do its work Of de-
struction is matter Of marvel, con-
sidering that outside of the element
of politics, itself, which is quite
conducive to the shedding of blood,
is the active participation of women
in the campaign now on. When
the fair sex takes sides trouble may
be expected.
Men will be induced to join in
the fight who would ordinarily re-
main passive, and as their strongest
feelings will be wrought up by
reason of sympathy with, or antag-
onism to, female interference, it is
reasonable to conclude that trouble
is more likely than not to occur in
the Ashland district before there
comes an end to the political battle
raging there.
The Item observes that some
coward has written an anonymous
letter to prominent ladies in Lexing-
ton, who have been pronounced in
their hostility to Breckenridge, tell
| ing them to beware of skeletons in
their own closets, but they firmly
believe in the loyalty of their hus-
bands, and are not to be dismayed
by the craven who dares not reveal
| his name.
They will continue their wal
against Col. W. G. P. Breckenridge,
erstwhile proudly pointed to as
Kentucky's most gifted orator, but
now an individual who has brough1
dishonor upon an honored historical
name.
His son, Desha, is engaged in thu
task of throwing mud at Owens, thu
Coloneps chief competitor, but thi
simply recoils upon his own head
Had he any sense, Desha woult
seek to make the old man Withdraw
from the fight.
Meantime good old bourbon
| flows like water. Voters are havinl
a gay time of it. No sooner is tn
glass emptied than it is filed an
the goose hangs high. The crop o
red noses in Kentucky will be large
ly added to this year.-City Item.
