Probably the vote on the apportion-
ment bill will he taken today. Both
sides are confidently claiming victory
which indicates that the contest Is close,
and that nobody will be sure OF the re.
suit until the vote ID taken. Whatever the
outcome the Maine representatives will be
entitled to the credit of doing all that
could be done to save the present repre-
sentation Of their state. Inasmuch as
the apportionment is one that exclusively
concerns the House, the Senate will
probably promptly agree to whatever de-
oision the House comes to. Ii is hardly
to be expected that 1t will attempt TO
coerce the House in this matter.

Following a Good Example.

That advertising pays is automatic
in the United States. There are
thousands who owe their wealth to
judicious and liberal employment of
printers ink. In fact the enterpris-
ing. energetic business man would as
soon think of getting along without
book-keepers or clerks or insurance
as to try to dispense with paid news
paper announcements. What is said
of individual business enterprises has
wide application and is as true of viii
lagos and cities. Hitherto it has
been entirely an American custom
for enterprising places to advertise
their attractions in the hope of Undue
ing others to invest money there.
Cities and villages that have made the
experiment have found it profitable
way of increasing industries and pros
perity.
England is much slower than the
United States and more conservative.
For long time the British were dis
posed to ridicule the booming of Amer
lean towns and characterized it as
foolish expenditure of energy and
money. AS in other instances Great
Britain at length consents to adopt
American ideas and follow American
examples. They are coming to APP
preciate more than ever before that
advertising pays and that the applica-
ton of the axiom is not limited to the
retail stores. Just now, unfortunately,
the British have great difficulty to
keep their industries running on any
thing like full time. What they need
is not so much new factories as it is
work for the old ones, but all the same
they are coming to the right idea in
advertising theories and practice by
still further adopting American meth
DDS.

1T is entirely within the range of

feasible. Rural free delivery is now
an assured, permanent, expanding

so rapidly developing that any con-
clusion applicable to it is entirely
