THURSDAY. E P q. 1900

A missionary was sent to convert
Dewey to Democracy at Manila. He
represented the most potential politicians
in the Democratic party-those who could
have given him the s nomination il he
would have consented3to a few-line senti-
ments and glittering generalities. II
Dewey had consented at Manila to be a
Democratic candidate he would un-
questienably have been the candidate.
He would have been an imperialist some
thing like; an imperialist wouldn't have
hurt the Democrats a bit. The Demo-
cratic party wouldn't have cared a rap
about imperialism nor about silver at 16
to or at 33 to 1. They would have
gone in OF the heroics. They would have
celebrated a %conqueror as their candi-
date. and been glad and proud and stuck
up and happy to support a man who had
shed blood, conquered territory and sur
rounded the world with his glories. That
is what the Democracy wanted.-Murat
Halstead.

Of the independence OF the German vot

COUSIN GERTRUDE's YOUNG
NAN.
Perhaps you don't remember, Jonathan,
when your cousin, my Gertrude, used to
have calls from o dandy young man. He
sometimes sent her fine roses by his little
brother from the village. I got suspi.
cious of that young man, Jonathan, and
by and by he stopped all at once coming
to see Gertrude. You want to know
why, Jonathan? Because one day he
was driving by. down the road, and L said
very kindly and sociable like to him:
My young friend. I guess you needn't
trouble to bring or send any more roses
to Gertrude because she says she likes
'em fresher than when you send EN-
she has permission to help herself"
> WdICn ludl young man Wnen
he goes home late n early morning, and
1 saw him steal my roses on the way out
OF the front lot, and in the evening next
following he sent 'em to Gertrude. II
he only keeps the roses for his partikler
friends in the village 1t wouldn't SO much
matter; but when he steals them to make
himself solid with my little Gertrude, he
reminds me Of Bryan quoting from Abe
Lincoln's speeches to try to make the peo-
pie think how much his party loves the
people-when all the time before, the
Democrats had no use for Mr.. Lincoln.
Lincoln was a great Republican, whom
to love is fashionable, even with Demo-
Gratis now But when their great man.
Mr.. Bryan. offers Republican voters
roses out Of Lincoln's garden they nat
urally feel like Gertrude-they like 'em
fresher, and they have permission to help
themselves.

WILLIAM E. ANDERSON.
Gold supply Nearly Doubled.

Mr.. Bryan said in 1896, I'VE want the
free coinage of silver because there Is
not enough gold in the country to run
the finances" When he said this the
amount Of gold in circulation was $685.
449.242. Since then the amount Of gold
in the country has increnserd to S814,-
063,155 in May, 1900, and Is almost dou-
bled. Is this Enough" for Mr.. Bryan,
or has free silver some peculiar super
natural power over human saffirs, that
Mr.. Bryan still insists on the Accent
dollar? A cloud with a silver lining
still befogs his brain.

IA. 1859.

Advertising Advice.

There are certain laws that govern
all advertising, and they are sug-
gcstcd In the following questions, to
which every advertiser should have an
answer before investing his money,
says Fame:
/. IL there any merit in the articl"
TO be advertised?
?. Am | willing to tell the truth
about it?
3. Who are the people to bc inter
csted?
1. What mediums or channels viii
reach those people?
:. What are the talking points,
6. What is the best way to ten my
story?
Z. How much will 1t cost to do it
properly?
Having answers TO these questions
does not finish the work. TO select
what seems the best mediums and fill
the space with talking points" Is not
sufficient for good advertising. With
the best of care advertising is largely
au experiment, and II is only by
watching and testing even the best
mediums that the most profit can be
made from the investment.
The enormous sums spent in advcr-
tising each year show plainly that it
pays. or IL would not continue, and
the fact that our competitors advertise
more and more each year necosstatcS
our advertising iudciously If we wish
to keep i'm the race.
