ETHICS OF ADVERTISING.
Pidiculousness of tho Code Which Go
ems Doctors and LAWYERS.


$idtculousness of tho Code Which Gov
ems Doctors and Lawyers.
A writer in Publicity, presumably
lawyer. writes entertainingly on the
ethics OF his profession in so far as it
relates to advertising, and taboos the
professional man, be he lawyer. doc.
tor or clergyman. who advertises.
Ii would appear that he argues
from premise con tradlctory in its
statement, only TO reach. as he neces-
sarlly must. an illogical conclusion.
not warranted by the Intermediate
syllogisms. 1t is false logic. and Dceds
must fall.
The fact that he admits advertising
mas practically become science and
mat the advertiser-the one who has.
perhaps, maze life study Of the ben
ehts OF his own system or those Of
other equally broad-mlnded mems
justified in assuming that every man
mas his own interests at heart. and
that with every business man of am
billion the advancement of his own
business occupies the same position.
III, then, the advertiser believes ad-
YertiSing to be one of the most i'm
portant stages on the high road TO
business success, why is he not JUS
tilted in his endeavor to persuade tn.
| physician or the purist that unless he
aSvertises he pursueS a phantom i'm
the form Of legitimate personal and
professional fame and marked dnan-
cial benefit?"
or course he is justified and it is
only the hide bound rule of the years
when newspapers and other vehicles
or advertising were non existent that
trammels him to-day to enter into
competition with his mercantile
brother.
The writer assumes that there are
many members of the legal profession
who would advertise. to the detriment
of their more conservative brethren.
| Possibly that is true. This is not the
age of the tallow dip or stage coach.
and he who falls in the race need not
start on crutches.
The etiquette and morals of the bar
are high-soundng and sonorous
phrases. but the average newspaper
reporter with any court expert, nee at
all knows what a sham the ethics of
that profession are, and that free adj
vertising is eagerly sought for by the
highest counselor or by the police
| court solicitor
The suggestion has been made. and
an admirable one, too, that the papers
refuse to print the names OF lawyers
or physicians in prominent cases un-
| less they advertised
Lawyers furnish their briefs to
newspapers often prepare interviews;
! physicians write their own account Of
! difficult operations, and clergymen
| synopsis of their sermons. and the
newspaper publishes it in choice posi-
| ton without reaping a penny Of profit
The enterprising lawyer or physi-
| clan who casts aside the so-called
! ethics of the profession and advertses
may incur the ill-will of his laggard

strated that this is the twentieth cen

Penalty For Neglected Highways.

Wy HE PoStofiice Department is
trying to use the rural free
delivery experiment as an
e argument in favor OF good
roads. AMI where the experiment has
tailed TO improve the bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned
The department has gone over the
records TO see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition Of the
roads last spring. and bqs sent out
notices that unless the roads are i'm
proved to prevent similar interruption
this spring these routes will have 10
be abandoped. The records show that
great many routes were interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were forty OF these routes in
Iowa. twelve in Illinois. ten in Wis
consin and a less number in other
Western and Southern States. The
record against Iowa is not so bad as
it seems because that State has a
great many more rural free delivery
routes than any other State. and. like
Illinois. the State suffers at times
from bad roads which cannot be i'm
proved.
The department admits that it will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty in building roads in Iowa and
Illinois, where the depth Of the soil
makes it almost impossible to con
struct roads that will be passable at
all seasons of the year. II is admitted
that there are routes in Illinois and
Iowa where everything possible has
been done to make good roads for the
greater part of the year. but during
the spring freshets these may be i'm
pasSable for q few days
The order is meant 10 apply to those
routes whore the people are Indifferent
TO the condition Of the roads and have
allowed them to become impossible
through neglect. The inspectors will
report on the routes that are inter
rupted this spring. and where the in
terruption is due to neglect of the
roads they will be abandoned. Where
the interruption is due to conditions
which cannot be overcome the depart
ment will make allowances and con
tinue the service.
But the department regards rural
free delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
the advantages of the service the de-
partmnt holds that the experiment is
n failure. The demand for rural free
delivery is greater than the depart
ment can meet with the appropriation
by Congress, and it will favor those
communities which chow most ammo
citation by building roads over which
the Government can send mails with
the least possible interruption

n the late spring after the ground
has settled, the roads should be pre-
pared for summer travel by being
shaped up With the road machine" or
road grader When this work is
done, the ground is comparatively dry.
and consequently the heavier road
scraper is required ard can be handled
on the roads. 1t is somewhat unfor-
tunate that this tool is ordinarily
called a road grader, since the name
has possibly led to q misCOnceptiOn
as TO an important use of the machine.
AS an instrunent of road construction.
this machine is used to give crown
to the road; but as an instrument Of
maintenance. it should be used only to
smooth the surface and restore the OF
iglnal crown. Apparently some opera
tors assume that the machine is not to
be used except to increase the crown
of the road. Employed in this way
the crown is made too great, and a big
ridge Of loose earth is left in the mid
die of the road which only slowly con
s)lidates and which is likely to be
washed into TIC side ditches TO make
trouble there. Sine the introduction
Of the road machine there has devel
oDed a strong tendency to increase the
crown Of the road unduly Doubles
the object is to secure better drainage
Of the road bed but plling up the earth
is an inadequate substitute for Che
