SHORT TALK ON ADVERTISING

copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates3
People used to say: "Oh, I never nav any
attention to advertisements; they never tell
the truth."uNow it's different people do
read advertisements, and they believe them
Advertisers are becoming more careful and
more scrupulously truthful every day. I
know a firm of advertising agents who also
own medicated soap, said: as it really
such wonderful thing, and do you take the
care you say you do in making it," The
answer was: "Of course it is good thing
We have seen too much of advertising to be
fools enough to spend money pushing poor
article Most all advertisers understand
this nowadays, and that is why it pays
better than it used to.
The best place to put an advertisement is
in the paper that enjoys the confidence of
the community. 1 believe that the standing
of paper reflects on the advertisement it
carries. There is another thought which
never occurred to me, but which was con-
veyed in a remark recently made to me by
M. M. Gillian, the advertising manager at
Wanamakers. He said: "A sleepy paper
gathers sleepy constituency. An alert,
wideawake, progressive sheet gets readers
who like that sort of thing-or lifts them to
it's level
Wideawake people are the ones most in
f1uenced by Acknowledgements people.
who are not afraid of new thing or new
idea; people who believe in the paper they
read because they have learned to rely on it.
Depend upon this. If the editorials carry
weight, the ad. will pay. Put your trust
and your money in that sort of a paper
OCCASIONALLY an advertisement will fall
fat. The wise man looks for the reason
He doesn't say blindly: advertising
doesn't pay He looks at the condition of
general trade, at the weather, at the goods
and the price and the way the adj was
worded.
This is certain: A readable ad. in read
able paper will be read. Probably not by
all of the readers of the paper. but by a
sufficient number to make the ad. pay if the
goods are right. No doubt about it what
ever. It's as sure as sunshine. A cloudy
day comes sometimes, but it doesn't stay
long.

HOKE'S GAME.

The Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of
the Interior by the grace of Stephen
Grover Cleveland has new method
of dealing with pensioners that adds
a strong tincture of iron to the rumors
that have been floating around for
the past several months to the effect
that the Hon. Stephen Grover Cleve-
land was aspiring to third term.
The Hon. Hoke Poke stops a SOL
dier's pension, cuts it down, raises it
to about one-half of the original
amount paid and then issues the pen
sion bulletin to the press of this
broad land containing the names of
these parties as having received new
and original pensions. The Hon.
Hoke is of the opinion that the guilt
BILE voters of the United States will
be blind to his little game and that
when the machine renominates his
boss of Buzzard's Bay these gullible
voters will conclude that Grover has
been a pretty good fellow to the old
soldiers and will give him a third
term, contrary to all precedents es-
tablished heretofore ever since the
date of Washington's letter declining
third term denomination.
Two of these cases have come to
light in Redwood Falls. w. P.
Tenney originally received $12 per
month. He was cut down by the
Hon. Hoke Poke to So, and then last
week, under the head of new pensions
granted, he was raised to $6 per
month. w. w. Brewster's case is
precisely the same and yet his name
appears under the head of new pen
sions in the published list. If all of
the pensions granted are the same as
the cases known in Redwood Falls
the Hon. Hoke is not granting new
pensions, but is cutting down the old
ones and then raising them to about
one-half of the original amount in
order to make showing.
The American people are not so
gullible as to allow Mr.. Cleveland to
have third term in the first place
and then again they are not So gull
BILE as to allow the Hon. Hoke Smith
to hoodwink them in the manner he
evidently thinks he can.

friend, Mrs. III. D. Brooke, objects to
the word "toot" being applied to the
ladies drinking lemonade and devour-

to The GAZETTE by band of young
ladies, married and single, out on
what they termed ''toot" and nego-
tiating loans all the way from 10 to
Is cents each for the purpose from
theirihusbands. The word used in it's
correct sense applies to making a
noise. The only demonstration made
by the ladies was when the vote was
announced and the noise was a clap

 Thousands of people from the North and East will visit the Atlanta exposi- tion, and many of them will have in view the finding of a suitable place for investment and location. They would be interested in an Arizona exhibit The failure of fruit crops in the South has caused many Southern peo- pie to turn their attention this way for the purpose of engaging in the fruit business where it will be safe from the inclement weather that has destroyed it in the South. Therefore Southern people would be intensely interested in fruit exhibit from the Salt River val ley, such as is now in possession of the Chamber of Commerce.
 For these reasons we ought to be re- presented. There are no territorial funds that can be used to pay the ne- cessary expenses, but if fund should be subscribed by private citizens, the legislature next session will in all probability pass an appropriation to re. pay it. In any event, the money should be raised and an exhibit ar ranged. Phoenix people who have every interest in a creditable represen- tation of Arizona's fruit industries in the heart of the South cannot afford to stand idle. The Chamber of Com merce can do the city and territory and the great fruit interests they contain no better service than by taking the lead in movement for an Arizona exhibit at Atlanta in Septem Der.

PASSING OF THE BOSS.

PASSING OF THE BOSS.
 The boss in politics is passing. He will soon be thing altogether of the past.
 It would be singular indeed, if, when the whole country is demanding purer political methods and greater con- slderation for popular demands, the people should continue to submit servilely to the absolute and corrupt dictation of bosses. The fact would be, indeed has been, disgrace to the Nation and reflection upon American manhood. The bosses must go every where or our boasted system of gov ernment is mere farce.
 It is the fate of the boss always that his success in overriding the people and dictating appointments and mea- sures in accordance only with his own sweet will, render him reckless until he goes too far.
 It matters not whether he wears a crown or whether he is simply state boss, or even territorial boss, there is always limit toward which he is al- ways tending, where popular patience ceases to be a virtue. Then he goes down in humiliation under storm of popular indignation.
 Whether this stage has been reached in the careers of the would-be bosses ol the two political parties who have formed combination to control the present territorial administration and the future politics of the state, it is too early to say, but the better ele ments of thelr party, perhaps it would be more correct to say the stronger ele ments, are beginning to array them selves against these petty politlca dictators in a manner to shake thu stability ot their powers. The combin appears to be doomed.

REFERRING to the probability of the next National Democratic conven tion being captured by the free silver men, the Chicago Times Herald prints the following: following, for the sake of argument, that the silver extremists may go to the Democratic convention with majority of delegate votes, It is predicted without risk that, on the notice from the solid delegations of New England, New York, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey. Delaware and Mary land. representing 12S electoral votes. that they would leave the convention in case of declaration for free silver, the majority would be brought to realiz- ing sense of hopeless predicament." |" It also may be "predicted without risk'' that the Democratic party would not elect president. What good will it do them. therefore, to hold the support oi the Eastern Democracy and lose the election. Substitute the name of any other political party for Democratic in the foregoing and it applies with equal force. The party which sacrifices the interests of the whole people to gain the support of Eastern politicians and money changers is doomed to defeat.

HUGHES ABROAD.

Fl Paso Tribune: The Arizona Press association which recently held ses- sion in Prescott, have endorsed Gov ernor Hughes administration by the following preamble and resolution:
 "Whereas, under the administration of Governor Hughes our public affairs have been honestly, economically and satisfactorily managed. Therefore, we are opposed to any change in the gov. ernorship."
 That is easily accounted for: The Arizona Press association is composed of people principally at the head of Re- publican papers, and the preamble and resolution was intended as hit on the Democratic party, and not to absolutely endorse Hughes administration, which, in fact, has been the most corrupt that the territory ever had.
