Now He Advertises.

"Once, when L was publishing paper
in Seattle, l convinced man in the most
emphatic way that it paid to advertise.
said an old journalist, according to Col
lier's Weekly. He was a fairly prosper
Gus merchant, and l had tried for long
time to get him to insert an advertise
ment in my paper.
"'Oh, it's no usev he would say. !

and no one else does. l believe in adver-
Using, but in way that will force itself
upon the public. Then it pays. But in

"'Wen,' said 1, If 1 can convince you
that people do read the advertising pages
of my paper, will you advertiser
OF course l will. l advertise wherever

THE next day 1 had the following line

THE next day so many people annoyed

sAvANNAH's INTERESTS NEGLECT
I.n


1t looks very much as if the interests
of Savannah were neglected. in operating
what is known as the South Bound Rail
way, now a part of the Greater Seaboard
Air Line system. When the South Bound
was run as a purely local road, Savannah
got a great deal of business from along It's
line, particularly from that part Of its
territory between Savannah and Denmark.
Trains were run so as to accommodate peo-
pie who wished TO come to this city for
the purpose of trading. They could come
and go quickly and the result was that
the part of the magnificent country along
it's line that is properly tributary 20 this
city was being rapidly settled up and de-
veloped
After the road became a part of the
Florida Central and Peninsular, however,
the development of that part of its terri
tory became much less marked. The bust
ness that was formerly done in this city
gradually drifted elsewhere. That this Is
true is shown by the fact that the few ac-
counts that are now made here are paid
by checks on banks in other cities. The
people that once came here quite frequent-
~ very seldom come here now.
The reason of this is that the trains are
so run that people along the line of the
road cannot visit this city without the
loss of a great deal more time than they
can afford. Local trains are no longer
operated so as to bring trade and traVel
to this city because everything is sacrl-
feed TO the fast through trains carrying
tourists to Florida.
The South Bound was built by Savan-
nah capital, and those who put their
money into it had in mind the advantages
it would be to Savannah. They hoped anu
believed that the rich country between
here and Denmark would be settled up
rapidly, and would furnish large trade
to our merchants. They would not be
disappointed in this expectation II local
trains were so run that the people could
come here and get back to their homes
without taking more time than they can
conveniently spare.
IT is a mistake for a railroad to neglect
its local business in it's effort 10 do large
through business. 1t ought OF course cu-
tivate its through business, but at the
same time 1t should endeavor to build up
its local traffic by helping to develop the
country through which 1t passes. All OF
the rich railroad systems Of the country
pay great attention to their local business.
The local business, all things considered,
pays better than the through business.
The people of Savannah will be very
much gratified if the mana cement OF the
Greater Seaboard Air Line system gives
more attention to the building up of lis
local business on that one of its branches
known as the South Bound 1t will pay
IL tn do so.

What They Really Say.

A man and his wife enter the theater,
says the Washington Post AS soon as
they are seated and she digs around for
the hat pins and removes her hat they
look at each other smilingly and seem, to
onlookers, to be carrying on an amiable.
animated conversation. Here's what
they're really saying;
Husband-Your hairs crushed and plas-
tered down in front like a dago barber s.
Can't you give it a swipe thatll--
Wife-Unreasonable thing! How can
YOU expect me to have my hair all fluffy
and nice as soon as / take off a heavy
toreador hat that comes down over my
Husband-Well, give it a couple O. dabs,
anyhow. Looks now as if you'd been maxi
ing a high dive off a.
Wife-There-now does it suit your lord
ship?
Husband-Oh, well, it isn't as dinky as
it was. What's become of that-what-you-
call-it-that rat thing you got to put un-
der your front hemp while ago? That
made it stick up some. anyhow. and
Wife-The dog ate it up, and it was too
warm, anyway. My, what frightful
haircut your barber gave you to-day!
Makes you look like a Russian moujik.
Don't you think you'd better change your
barber? etc.

He Put Honor Above once.

"A man of the real courage, that is cour-
age as courage goes in politics." said
man of experience in political matters, ac-
cordng to the Washington STAR lis Solo-
mon Hirsch of Portland, Ore, and minister
to Turkey under President Harrison. He
is a millionaire, thereby being eligible to
the United States Senate and was SEN
atorial candidate before the Oregon Legis-
lature in 1885. Matters were badly mixed,
as they are likely to be at times, and there
was deadlock for sixty days. Hirsch was
a member of the state Senate and presi-
dent of the body, and the vote was q tie
between himself and his opponent during
the whole time
And here is where the courage, or hero
ism, of the man came in. He had cast his
vote for the otehr man and would not
change it. His friends urged him with
every argument in their power TO vote for
himself break the deadlock and get the
senatorshp but he did not believe it was
the right thing to do, and Notwithstanding
the great prize and the perfectly legiti-
mate manner by which he might have Sc
cured it, he let principle lead him in an
other direction and in a compromise threw
his forces TO John H. Mitchell, who was
elected.
Il don't know of an instance where
greater moral courage in politics was ever
shown than that, and l think it was more
of credit to MR. Hirsch than to have
been United States Senator"

A NEW CABINET OFFICE.

Pending in the Senate is a bill to create
a new executive department, to be known
as the Department of Commerce and In
dustries. to be presided over by a secre.
tary, who shall be a member of the Pres
ident's cabinet, and an assistant secre-
tary. There seems TO be little if any
doubt that the bill will become a law at
this session of Congress. Generally speak
ing, the Republicans do not lose time In
creating new offices and new salaries when
there are political campaigns coming on
and places are wanted for persons of in
f1uence. The creation of a new cabinet
office, with an assistant secretaryship. and
the many minor places that would be
found necessary in the organization of the
proposed department, would place some
very desirable patronage in the hands of
the administration at an opportune time.
The advocates of the new department as
sert that the Treasury and State Depart
ments are now overloaded, and that many
of their bureaus have to do with matters
which properly belong to neither depart
ment. Therefore, they say, there should
be a new department, to relieve the two
mentioned and to further the interests of
our great and growing commerce. The bill
under consideration proposes to give the
Department of Commerce and Industries
control of all matters relating to foreign
and domestic trade, excepting the collec-
ton of the revenues and the enforcement
of the customs and Internal revenue laws
All matters of shipping and home indus
tries would be turned over to the new de-
partment, besides which there would be
transferred 10 it the Light House Service.
the Life Saving Service, the Marine Hos
pital Service the immigration Bureau, the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the Blu
reaus of Statistics which are now attached
to the State and Treasury Departments.
Thus, II is claimed, the Secretaries of the
Treasury and of State would be relieved
of mass of work without adding a great
deal TO the cost of administration.
So far as we are able to see, no argu-
ment has been advanced in favor of a De-
partment of Commerce and Industries
which might not as well be made in favor
of Department of Health and Hygiene, a
Department Of Trades and Professions or a
Department. of Politics and Patronage. The
public business has not seemed 10 suffer
because the affairs OF commerce and the
industries are conducted by bureaus in
stead of being grouped under a special
head and represented by a secretary In the
cabinet. Instead of creating new offices
in Washington il would be a good thing
for the country If the Republicans would
take steps to abolish some hundreds of
the useless offices that are now maintained
at the capital But that they win hardly
do, since the oficeholders are voters and
controllers of voters.

About n Book.

Wentworth Since is a funny English
man, says the Chicago News. He does
book review column for London weekly
and once in a while his view of humor
leads him TO do something like this criti-
cism of a new novel. He says:
Like the fat boy in 'Pickwick,' 4 wants
to make yer flesh creep.
How?
by telling you of Robert Hichens book.
The Slave'-i e., if YOU have not already
seen il.
1T is the weirdest. creepiest book I
have read for years.
What is it about?
1T is about a woman who is observed q
have been so filled with admiration by the
way in which my gifted confreres use the
word 'obsessed that I'm going to do ii,
too by a passion for jewels. She sells
herself for them and her young man looks
on and tries to make her see how sinful
it is.
But she will not see.
"NThat does she do?
"She marries one man who gives her
magnificent emerald, and when he is dead,
in order to get back her jewel, she weds
another man who has stolen 1t from her.
And the nice young man who has tried
to rouse her still looks on. He has pos
tive genius for looking on.
1T is my impression that he would con-
tiuue to look on If she married half
dozen men. He seems to think that
contemplauve attitude suits his style of
beauty He would not be surprised or
reused to active exertion, but simply pain
ed and annoyed at her thoughtlessness and
utter Inconsistencies that she is always
preparing metaphorical thlStleS for him
to sit upon; in fact, he seems rather to
like posing as a pale martyr in his shirt
of fire. When she is, occasionally, pleas
ant to him, he feels rather upset and pro-
poses to her Then she promptly refuses
him and, generally, instead of being over
whelmed, he talks learnedly about jewels
and other light and airy topics.
why do l not blame him?
Because I am filled with admiration
for the wisdom which induces him to look
on instead of marrying so unpleasant
person.
