America for advertising than for any
other one thing and yet the advertis-
ing business is sadly in need of
trained, able, experienced men and
women. Business men are Obliged TO
pay eXtrayagant salaries for the as
5istants they require. Il is strange
that more young people do not learn
the advertising business instead of
struggling along In the lines that are
now oyercrowded. Those who work
In stores and Offices and are preparing
for some especial business career
should also learn advertising. So

ISLANDER
AGAINST
STEIWER
Refufed BY Ore Who Lived in
the Family
Employees on the Farm We're
Always Well Treated

Among the campaign stories circu-
lated for political effect is the state
ment that John Steiwer, Republican
nominee for sheriff OF Marion county,
never allowed farm hands TO eat at
the same table with the family, and
otherwise treated them In an un-
friendly manner II this we're true It
lose Mr.. Steiwer votes and would put
him Ia an unenviable light before the
voters as q candidate. A talk with
Mr.. Steiwer himself convinces us II
has no foundation in fact The Gus
tom OF the family was to work with
the help on the farm, both Mr. Stei.
wer and his boys, and II was not prac.
tical TO get meals at different times
OF places for the rest Of the farm
help. This matter has been made per.
sistent use OF by Mr.. Stelwer's oppo.
nents and seems to be the main card
relied upon for his defeat His oppo.
nents should bring something more
than mere rumors to base IL upon.
The Journal reporter, learning that
John w. Reynolds, the attorney, was
few years since employed by Mr.
Stelwer as a private tutor for his chill
dren, called Mr.. Reynolds attention
10 the Item In the Sllverton Appeal,
which contains the following: "Stei-
wer, who is running against Ben on
the Republican ticket is said to be
more like an African slave herder
than an American citizen. II is said
that he compels his help TO sleep in
an out building and only permits
them TO be in hls house, while eating
such victuals as the family leave, and
then they are only allowed in the
kitchen and not in the dining room"
II do not see how such ridiculous
lies could have been devised" said
Mr. Reynolds. During the year /
was there, the hired farm hands slept
in a house formerly occupied by the
Steiwer family themselves; they took
their meals not In the kitchen but ia
the dining room at the same time and
at the same table as the members Of
the family, as we'll Sundays and when
there were guests as at other times.
Mr.. steiwer always treated them with
courtesy, directing them about their
work pleasantly as II advising rather
than ordering. | did not even hear
him speak impolitely to one OF them
during the nine months / was there.
! noticed also that social letters were
received from some OF the former
help. and these letters were read with
interest by the whole family and were
answered. One would go far TO find
better employer than Mr.. steiwer."
