Altgeld and Lincoln.

In his little speech introducing for.
mer Governor Altgeld of Illinois. to
the audience at Des Moines last
Wednesday night, Judge Spurrier, who
is the fusion candidate for Judge of the
supreme court of Iowa. said of him
(Altgeld): "He comes from the state
Of the immortal Lincoln and was cast
in the same mold!"
Never has partisan political utter
ance come nearer blasphemy than that.
Think of it. voters of Iowa, a man who
asks for your suffrages for the exalted
position of judge of the supreme court
dares to stand before an Iowa audience
and compare the friend of anarchists
and chief exponent of socialism, with
the martyred Lincoln. 1t is we'll, per-
haps, that at the same meeting Judge
6purrier declared that he did not ex.
pect to be elected and did not want to
be. that little Introductory speech would
have made it certain that he could not
be elected though he wanted the office
never SO much.

Good Goods. Wen Advertised.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is the largest adver-
tiser in America. OF course, the bust
ness itself must be an enormous one to
Justify so great an expenditure in pub
licity. There is no fallacy more dan
gerous than that success can be gained
by advertising an article of Indifferent
merit. But, given an article of the
highest quality like Royal Baking
Powder, which when the housekeepeTr
has once used she finds if she desires
the best food she cannot do without
then the greatest measure of success is
attained by keeping it continuously be-
fore the public. Great merit and good
advertising are both essential to make
a product a great success. The ROYAL
Baking Powder possessing the first, its
proprletors have wisely used the second
and the result is apparent throughout
the land. The Royal company believe
that there is no medium for advertising
like the newspapers, since in these en-,
lightened days everybody reads them.
