ADVERTISING A HINTS!

Said retailer TO me the other after
noon during the course of an advertising
chat. II thoroughly believe In adverti'-
ing for most any other line OF business
except mine. You see, people know where
am located and Furthermore they know
the goods carry, 80 what is the use OF
my squandering money on printer'sink.
OF course such an argument Is bosh.
Just because every reader OF THE NEWS
knows where Shepard a Company Is loca-
ted 1t does not naturally follow that Mr..
Shepard. is going to stop advertising. Not
mucn, he increases the amount of space
il anything, taking column after column
describing tine various bargains he has in
millinery goods, etc. What Is the result?
The ladies' rush there to see il sucn and
such bargain as advertised is so, as
general thing they purchase. and In that
way the impetus given to the business
is directly trsceable to the paper. Here Is
another example. In this issue OF The
News Is an "sd" of Talbot * Co. Men
know Talbot Il Co. are clothiers, they
minister street, still they would have been
in ignorance Of their bargains in ready
made suits bad not the firm announced
the fact broadcast through the columns
OF the local press. So 1t goes down the
list and be a house large or small, 1T can
not afford to let its name drop from the
notice OF til public eye. q.

SOUND MONEY SONGS.
Actors Praise Mckinley and Arouse
Much Enthusiasm.


In the New York SUMS review OF
"Evangeline, as revived at the Garden
Theatsr. IL was told that Charles Bige-
low, an actor in the burlesque, sang a
Mckinley ballad, and was applauded for
IT, with no Kissing. 1t was rousing
campaign song, robustly sung, aud it
was so uneqnivScat In its sentiments as
to advise every man to vote for McKin-
ley in the interest of sound money and
protection. This Is the first Presidential
cimpaign within memory in which
managers dared permit their actors TO
espouse one candidate against the other

fact; but il his wayward steps lead to-
ward Bryan and cheap money he will ba

lists who touch upon politics dc so
with frank support Of Mckinley and Ho-
bart. A few woeks ago Fred Hallen put

its praise OF Mckinley end the gold basis,

beginning with plea that he shall not
be mistaken for relative of the silvsr
candidate, sings a song that mentions
both Bryan and Sewall, but that brings

FROM THE PULPIT.
Opinions OF Bryan's Policy by Three Well
Known Ministers.

hnoWu
If honesty is a part of religion, tho
pulpits of this country should thunder
against the threatened repudiation OF
individual, corporate and national
debts. This free silver doctrine was con-
ceived by avarioious mine owners, and
if ever put into practice it would be gi-
gantic swindle. virtually con6scating a
portion of every mans dollar, be he
rich or poor. The secret of this crazy
movement is the determination Of mil
lionaire miners TO keep up the price OF
their special commodity on a declining
market For over q decade they have
agitated through newspapers under
their control. through literature thrown
broadcast, through plausible and loqua-
cious demagogues, until at present they
have deceived multitudes Of people who
honestly believe that the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at the artificial
ratio Of 16 to is the only panacea for

they can fill their own pockets. The
history of this silver movement is the

mine owners to bluff congress. befog the

times when silver mine owner or any

that two and two make seven or that

prospect of securing something for
