You can't Judge the value
of a newspaper as an ad-
vertising medium solely
by the number of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with tIfs m ost
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
cuIation.
Nowadays. people
like to have the News of
the Day served briskly
and crlsply. hey want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b u t
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver-
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants to know about cir
culation.

Chicago June 13.-Eugene V. Debs
and thirty-one of his followers have
withdrawn from the Social Democracy
Of America. They have formed a new

cratic Party Of America" The split
was caused by the dispute over political
action. Debs and his faction favored
making a political party Of the organi-
zation, abandoning the plan for coloni-
zation of some state. The other faction
favored purchase Of land to form a So
cialistic colony.
After a discussion lasting twelve
hours, the COLOMBIA ton faction in the reg
ular convention in Ulich's hall won out
at 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning by a
vote Of 80 10 80. The minority imme-
diately withdrew TO Parlor A, Of the
Revere House. and adopted a platform
in sympathy with it's ideas.
Jesse Cox is temporary chairman Of
the new party: William Maille, secre-
tary. and the executive committee is
headed by Eugene V. Debs. National
headquarters will be established some
where outside OF Chicago. The platform
Of the new party declares for the vigor-
Gus use Of the ballot remedy for all la
