Does advertising pay is often asked
by business men and others, and on
which tuere is grear diversity OF
opinion. A couple OF items came under
our notice lately that ought to convince
any reasonable person that advertising
dYcs pay, not only in the ordinary run
Of business line. but in other opportu-
mites that come up. On the first Of
last December, Messre. Luce and Stock
ham began hardiiIg the Chase & San

time 10 advertise the brand in y system
attic way. Since then. nine months ago,
The ii, N has sold 400 pounds Of the
coffee and are nov selling it ut tho rate
Of $50 pounds per month. Tho coffee
is an excellent article and when once
used person Invariably sticks to it.
This article has displaced many of the
old-tine br. nds that were household
words in many homes. A good article
and il judiciously brought to the atten-
tiop OF the people is what il required to
introduce il.
Another instance is that when County
Clerk Conklin had choice piece OF land

This is a question which rises above poll

From the Nashville Banner (ind)
The opponents of the treaty could expect
to gain nothing by the transfer of the
! question TO the extra session, and doubtless
they prefer to put themselves record by
a vote, hoping at least to get IN some
amendments. The treaty should be ratified
without amendment.
From the Boston Advertiser (rep)
1t is not unlikely that the balance of
power in the Senate this question rests

There is but one thing to do; ratify the

debating the terms, every one, to refuse to
ratlfy 1t. Besides we want the war over.
We have to assume the responsibility for
the Philippines and Porto Rico whether we
will or not; ratfying the treaty will put
US in position where a definite policy can
be formulated. We can then tell the Fill
pinos what we propose to do and deal
promptly with them. The question of ex-
pansion can then be fought out at home
without complicating foreign affairs. Fight
ing expansion before the treaty is signed

none is necessary.

The treaty must be confirmed: it ought TO

cause tardinesS in action will be miscon-
strued in Europe as timorous hestancy,

in England and will be used by Aguinaldo

The object for which the treaty is sought
is. first. to relieve the nation from Il re-
SpOnsibility which il cannot. after what has
transpired, in honor refuse to accept, and
secondly. to enable it to take the best
course practicable for the government OF
the peoples who have come into its hands
We do not understand that the President
or his followers are welded to any partiCu-
lar scheme for this purpose. They intend,
after the islands are ours, to study the situ-
alton. and to act as wisdom shall dictate,
in view of what is then developed. The
ratification of the treaty will give them
this opportunity. In such an aspect, is it
reasonable to withhold it?
