Publicity the Greatest Factor
The Star Must Soon With
draw Another MiSrepre-
sentation - The Times
Has the Largest CirCu-
iation.

II is generally understood that capital.
energy aad experience will make almost
ANY business venture profitable, but with
ogt publicity neither OF these requisites
could insure success. Publicity, there
fore, is the first and most important factor
IA prosperity, and the business man
WHO understands how to advertise without
throwing away money is generally sure TO
succeed. In the struggle for publicity dis
Greet advertisers have long since ceased to
ratTonize weekly newspapers, because the
daily brings their ads. more frequently
Gader the eyes OF readers, and on this same
principle, The Times. with its two editions
day. gives advertisers greater publicity
than its less modern, one-time-a-day con-
temporaries. 1t keeps advertisers con-
stanuy IN the public mind, and is certain to
bring them larger and more satisfactory re-
sults.
Several nonths1ago The Times compelled
tie star to withdraw its misleading and
false statement that its circulation was
larger than that OF all the other Washington
dsIlies combined, and it is about time that
another or its Misrepresentation should go
through the sword swallowing process
Last Saturday the Star published the fol-
loving:
The circulation OF the Star is many
thousands in excess OF any other Washing
ton paper, and is believed 10 be fully five
times tlat OF any afternoon contemporary"
The aggregate circulation of the Star
last week, according 10 its sworn state
ment. was ls9, ,7s9; that OF The Times was
l243,464, OF 53.7l5 larger than that of
the s,ar. As viii be seen by the statement
given below, The circulation of The Times
IS also sworn to, and in al fairness is as
worthy OF iciief as that OF tho Star. In
ssEiuch AS Cne of these statements is in
correct The Times calls upon the Star to
submit ats circulation books to a committee
OF wcil-known citizens for comparison
with those OF The Times. and let the verdict
OF that committee establish the misreprc-
Seniaiion made in the above Clipping from
ue Star.
Meantime everybody will read The Times,
because il is IN up-to7date, live, progress

sweatshop Employees Grateful.

Editor Times: The employees of the mail
bag repair shop are very grateful to you
for your efforts in their behalf, and trust
that they may result in justice being done
to worthy class.
There are two other matters which they
desire to bring to your attention Soon
after the present Second Assistant Post
master General came into office he dis
charged very many of the male employees
and appointed Maryland men to the vacan-
cies, so that more than one-half of the pres
ent force is from that State. Here is
civil service reform for you.
While all other employees Of the govern
ment get thirty days leave, those at the
abovc-nauted place are allowed but fif-
teen days, aBdi cannot take that when it
would suit them, but must wait until June,
or the close of the fiscal year, or one and a
quarter ddys each month.
Send Florence Bergen to work a week
with them, and you will learn what they
have to bear. ONE OF THEM.

is regarded bg.many as a curious thing
that the c6aplain's pra yer is not printed

the House is called 10 order, the gen
eraisupposition would prevail that his utter
ahces, being Hna de in an official capacity,
would form "a portion of tire regular pro-
ceedings.
AS matter3offact, until within recent
years, this Interpretation was given and
thechapiain's spra yerappeared just the same
asthe remarks OF Il member. Then came an
lconoclastic speaker who held that the
prayer did not partake OF anything affect
ing connection with legislation and con-
sequentiy should not be incorporated In the
official proceedings. Subsequent presid-
ing Officers have followed this precedent and
the religious feature OF the Record was
abandoned.
Inc house Sten0Zrapher, however, almost
invariably takes down the cbaplain's PRAYER
but only for temporary preservation. This
is done more 10 accommodate the minister
than for any other reason. He sometimes
do n@t have his insncaiion prepared and

prodncable to correct misapprehension or

Is Consumption Cured at Last?

II all reports are true DR.. Cyrus Edison
Of New York city, has proved himself the
savior OF hundreds of thousands of human
lives by discovering an absolute cure for
consumption and ting q new
system OF treatment for germ diseases.
The most gratifying thing about the whole
announcement or the cure is the free pub
lication OF TIE formula and the removal of
every suspicion of commercialism.
The efficacy of ascptoiin. tie new fluid,
is voucled Tor by committee OF reliable
PHYSICIANS and the successful treatment of
one hundred and nmc,y-six out OF two
hundred cases. The Medical Record viii

Dr. K. p Lincoln. and DIR. E. N Brandt OF
New York city, and DIT. Lewis BaIch of

have carefully Investigated Dr.. Edson's
remedy. Two hundred and eighteen cases
have been formally reported upon by pbysi-
clans, besides those treated by DR.. Edison
himself

OF the new fluid shall have been established

MISS FLAGLER's CASE.
1t May Come Up the Latter Part Of
the Month

The trial OF criminal cases in the District
supreme court is rendered uncertain by the
continued Illness of District Attorney Bir-
ney.
1t is expected that some Of the sugar
cases and the charge OF murder against
Mildred Farrell VIII be heard some time dur
ing this month and possibly the beginniug
of next month will bring tie trial of Miss
Elizabeth Flagier for the Shooting of Ernest
Green near Gen. Fiagler's home ON August
last.
There is, however, no certainty about
this Mr.. Birney has not been at his office
for a week and The arrangement OF the
order of trials is dependent upon his con-
yenience.

Mr.. AStor and His Editors.

That The vlcissitudes of newspaper
maker should obtain to an their presumptive
10 a British reerage, and to a member OF
that adnaixtare OF democracy and aris-
tocracy, known as Parliament, is an In
novation in the annals Of journalism. But
Henry Cockayne Gust had TO go. He was
not newspaper man, but a newspaper
man was not what Mr.. Astor wanted to
edit his Pail Mall Gazette.
A newspaper man would not serve the
mighty purposes of lauding him to the peer
age. Young Gust had no literary reputa-
tion in place of Journalistic ignorance to fit
him for the position Mr.. Astor gave him, but

Don't Criticise the Wetther Bureau.

1t is time for the chronic croakers against
the Weather Bureau TO cease their croak-
ing. This weeks record has been a proud
one for that particular branch OF the gov
ernment service. Every prediction of
Uncle Sans prophets has not only come
true. but it's fulfillment has arrived on
scheduled time. 1t is enough to vindi-
cate the efficiency of the service for a
long time 10 come, and amply atones for
the small discrepancies which necessarily
occur. and which affect merely local and
unimportant conditions.
1t was splendid service which the
weather bureau rendered this week, when
it predicted, with an ample margin OF
time. the tremendous storms which swept
the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida,
and which did untold damage on land
and sea. 1t was . service which thousands
of us ordinary iand-dwellers have reason
TO gratefully appreciate, and for which
many hundreds of sailor folk are de-
routly giving thanks.

Rivarde with Washington Orchestra

The announcement of the appearance in
this city of Rivarde, the great violinist,
should result in a crowded house. BE has
been heard and talked about SO much that
it is unnecessary TO recall his numberless
triunphs and overwhelming successes in
this country and in Europe.
His art is unique. forming the connecting
link between Paderewsh and Sarasate. and
Mendelssohn's violin concerto and Weinaw-
ski. Airs russes will afford splendid
opportunity of showing this great artist
to the best advantage.
Mr. Lachaume will also give several bril-
liant piano solos, and the selections by the
Washington String Orchestra. numbering
seventy-five performers. under the leader
ship of Mr.. Ernest Lent. win complete the
interesting program. Our music lovers cam
not afford TO miss this concert, which
promises to be one of the most enjoyable
events, OF the season.
The orchestra includes the best talent Of
Washington. and is composed OF forty
seven yiolins, six violas seven 'cellos, three
double basses, nine pianists. two flutes,
horn and harp.

Just the Site for 1t.

Long 5go The Times advocated the use
of Analostan Island for site for con-
tagious disease hospital, and. therefore,
is all the more pleased to give its indorse-
ment to the argument made yesterday be-
fore the Senate District Committee by
the ladies. who claimed that it was The very
best site to be found for that purpose. There
can be no doubt that no more appropriate
location can be found for such a hospital
if the District were canyassed from end to
end.
All the conditions essential to make. site
desirable for such use are present in and
around Analostan Island. 1t is perfectly

its week record with an Invaluable
service to the owners of the stranded
steamship st. Paul on Monday. Chief
Moore sent u telegram to those in charge
OF the disabled vessel, telling them 10
expect a high northwest wind, which in
all probability would do the work which
for a week four tugs had vainly tried to
accomplish. The steamship people took
notice and they were not disappointed.
1t was ten-strike for the Weather
Bureau.
On Wednesday the bureau ordered the
display of danger signals along the At
lantic coast, and wise mariners who saw
them remained in port and risked neither
their lives nor their craft. They, too,
taking notice, We're not disappointed. 1t
was the great storm OF the year, and only
on rare occasions is the usefulness of the
modern signal service more noticeable. 1t
was a magnificent achievement.
Those who either jokingly, carelessly or
maliciously deride the Weather Bureau
should take this occasion to swear off.
