Mr.. L. M. Aver:
Dear Sir--Having already appeared in the
columns of The Representative with your
plan Of Jubilee Week as a state officer, |
have not heard from you on the subject,
and as know you are in favor of the same
l address an open letter to you to inquire
why you have not taken up the matter be-
in Ramsey county and we hope to be able
to realize at least 81 900 which we will put
into POpulist literature. 1t looks to me if
you would call meeting of the State
League committee and present your propo-
sition same as you did in st. Paul, you
would at once get the stamp of approval of
the state executive committee of the Peo-
pies Party and designate some date late
enough in May when the farmers could
take part in the festivities and thus realize
a. substantial return at time when you
could put out your literature when it
would do the most good. l am aware you
are very busy with other matters which
occupies your time and attention, and we
over here in Ramsey like to know if you
would take up this matter at once We
would like to ask Mr.. Donnelly il he would
not lend the columns of The Representa-
tive and his support to making this "Jubi-
lee Week great success. Yours re-
specially. John C.. Hanley.

Does not this horrible array of statis-

maintained all along that economic con-
ditiops are the couse of crime? Note the
fearful increase of murders in the two

That the drink ha bit is not to blame for
this terrible increase of crime is shown
cOnclusively by the internal revenue de-

LOVE AND LEGACIEs.

Love laughs at locksmiths and wills.
Sometimes when it passes into the
married state it regrets that it
laughed, but as a rule love knows
what it wants, and is willing to make
all sacrifices to get it. The widow of
Thomas C. Sloane has fallen in love
with a society man of New York Mr..
Sloane left to her a matter of 100000,
with the understanding that if she
ever loved a live man better than his
memory, and welded, the money
should go to Yale college. The money
will be given to Yale in April, for in
that month she will go to the altar
with her new husband. There are
shrewd lawyers who, for price, woS.d
make it appear that her first husband
was incapable of making a will, that
he was a lunatic, a drunhard and all
manner of objectionable things; that
yale was immoral and unfit to receive
legacies, that the laws restricting
legacies were illegal, and many other
interesting matters, and out of what
these lawyers did not get, Mrs. Sloane
might save enough to live frugally for
a few years longer, but it is under
stood that she will give UP the money,
and in that she is wise and worthy of
respect. 1t is hoped that her example
may inspire followers in those who go
about abusing relatives and friends
who are in their graves.-Eagle, Brook

aiming the ore body The tunnel has
a total length of about 4,300 feet and
has so far developed seven or eight
rich ore chutes. For some distance
prior to the latter discovery, the vein
was more or less barren where cut by
the drift, but for the past eighty feet
strangers of ore have been encountered
and prophesied that another body
might soon be expected. AT the time

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING.

Some people say that advertising is
all matter of luck; that you cannot
tell what advertising is going to do, or
whether or not it is going to pay. rms
may be true. but it is very strange
that the man who gives careful
thought to his advertising and does it
in an intelligent and straightforward
way usually has the luck on his SIDE.
He is lucky in his advertising be-
cause he reduces it to science.
There are several points to be con-
sidered in the selection of a good ad-
vertising medium, the two most I'M
portant ones being the quantity and
quality of the circulation, and 1t is a
fact that one is of as much import
ance as the other. A newspaper may
have a good circulation and at the
same time that circulation may not be
among the class of people the adver-
tiser wishes to reach. If the advertiser
has in the medium he chooses both
the quantity and quality, and If he
pays proper attention ito his advert1S-
ing, he is certain to reap success from
the result of his efforts. The success
full advertiser must pay attention to
these two important features first, but
there are others which it will not do
to neglect. He must De nrSI IN the
field, and he must study the wants of
the Iublic. Every advertisement
should express a business idea clearly
and definitely, so as to be retained in
the memory of the reader. An adver-
tisement possesses the most value
when first printed. and must neces-
sarily lessen in value on each subse-
quent appearance; hence the import
ance of frequent changes. The habit
of putting a card in the newspaper
simply because some other man III lne
same business does, and having that
card express no definite idea, is the
motive fer a great deal of useless eX-
pense. Successful advertising means
that it be given the same careful at
tention that the merchant gives TO any
other branch of his business. This is
the kind of advertising which pays.
This is what some people might call
luck in advertising, but it really is not.
It is the result of careful and business
like methods. which very successful
merchants of the present day must
acquire. 1t is science in advertising

HOW ABOUT THIS.
George Dodge on the U. P.'s Hnrd-
ware Cut.

George Dodge on the U. P.'s Hnrd-
ware Cut.
Regarding the reduction recently an
nounced by the Union Pacific, Den
yer paper says:
The sweeping reduction in freight
rates upon nails, horseshoes, iron pipe
and wire between Chicago and Utah
common points does not affect rates to
Denver, and does not affect the bust
ness of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company with its large plant at
Pueblo. The Colorado company does
not compete in the lines announced,
and the battle is one between manufac-
turers of the Mississippi and Missouri
river valleys. The rate has dropped %
cents per 100 pounds and the suspen-
sion of the long and short haul clause
of the interstate law makes it posi-
bic to carry on the war without affect
ing business of intermediate territory.
At the headquarters. of the Rio Grande
Western road it was stated that the
fight is caused by secret cutting of the
Union Pacific.
"One dealer in Salt Lake" said
George Dodge, received whole train
load of iron over the Union Pacific at
a secret rate which other lines after
wards decided to meet. The rate now
openly announced is the same rate
which was being made secretly by the
Union Pacific. That is all there is in
the fight"
1t has become standing joke in
this city that when a certain hard
ware dealer begins to lay in his stock
for the year, break in the freight
rates invariably follows. Salt Lake
city is said to have a counterpart of
the Denver man, and it is prophesied
that the fight will continue until the
offending road calls for stop.

RACE COURSE AND rHE LAW

The race course is just as legitimate
an Institution as the theatre. 1t con-
tributes to the public gayety at sea-
son when there is a lull in other
amusement. 1t is the attraction and
the life of the county fairs. 1t is the
Indictment to high breeding of the
animal, and to wholesome outdoor en-
joyment. The Pharisees who seek to
abolish horse racing because there is
an element of doubt in it, and conse-
quent tendency to betting, should abol-
ish popular elecUlons and the weather
bureau for like reasons. They should
eat no more bread, because there is
naughty alcohol in the wheat There
is no objection to judicious legal ,regu-
lation to prevent abuses on the race
course; but to seek to prevent the
sport because of incidental evil not
necessarily pertaining to 1T is absurd.
This world cannot be profitably ar
ranged solely to keep sinners in order
To keep them wholesomely and in
nocently amused is an undertaking
much more worthy the thought of the
philanthropist and the labor of the
awmaker.-Philadelp Press.

MERCUR, Utah, March 22.-Mercur
in days gone by, has been a. primitive
mining camp, and as such has had its
shooting and cutting scrapes. fistic
encounters and petty thievery, all OF
which has attracted little if any at
tention. but now that the camp is
putting on metropolitan airs. and has
It's railroad, telephone and water sys-
tenn, an effort has been made to sup
press all lawlessness, with the result
that the endeavor has met with con-
siderable opposition from the gam
bling and hobo element.
In pursuance with this opposition.
the lawless element sought to assert
its supremacy Saturday night, when
the gambling fraternity, headed by the
Skinner and Star gang. held up Dep
uty Sheriff Cudahay, and for the time
being the town ran riot
This morning, however, a reaction
set in, and the better element of the
camp proffered their services to officer
Cudahay, and with this backing he
closed up every gambling house in Mer-
cur, and today everything is quiet and
serene, and the reputable people of
the place are organizing for the purpose
Il
of keeping it so.
Sheriff Mcclellan of this county has
been sent for. and from now until the
election on Incorporation. which will
be held April 81, the law will be strict
ly enforced.
This election promises to be an i'm
portant event in the history of the
camp, and it is very essential for the
future of the town that it becomes
elf-governing, as. without this author
ity. a riot is liable to break out here
almost any day, which, with only one
county official to depend upon, would
be hard to suppress.
The lawless element are of course
against incorporation. but by a strict
enforcement of the law from now on
until the date of election, it is believed
that this element will have largely sub
sided or drifted away.
Mercur is growing rapidly and the
mines are making a. greater showing
than ever. while good reports continue
TO come in from all over thu district.
T. L. Hills. secretary of the Salt Lake
mining exchange, was in the camp to-
day. and made an examination of the
Golden Gate and East Golden Gata
properties He visited the underground
workings of the Golden Gate mine. and
was much impressed with what he saw
there. He also took in the East Golden
Gate hoist and shaft, and is we'll salts
fed over the outlook for this property.
