CONFESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

The ST. Louis Republic takes hope
full view of the approaching Congress
siOnal elections, which, by the way,
seems to be warranted by the facts.
While jubilant over the outlook, it still
urges caution to the extent that Demo-
cratic hopefulness should be backed by
a thorough Democratic organization
and an aggressive prosecution of the
Congressional campaigns which shall
not leave anything undone that would
tend legitimately to insure a Demo-
cratic majority in the next House.
The party is in excellent shape for a
winning fight, if this advice is follow
ed, despite the claims of would-be re-
organizers and disorganizers. These
ordinarily disturbing elements have
found their assertions of Democratic
dissension or weakness discredited in
every test of party strength that has
come since the general elections of
1900. The Democratic party has been
found harmonious, well organized and
capable of victory.
The present session of Congress is
following a line of action certain to
arouse the people to the necessity for a
return to Democratic principles. 1t
will be a Two-Billion-Dollar Congress.
On top of this vast expenditure of the
peoples money, an additional tax of
nearly $2OO,OOO,OOO will be placed upon
American taxpayers in order that GER
tain ship-OWning corporation can COL
lect subsidies for their private profit, at
the peoples expense and with no bene-
fit to the people. The dominant spirit
of the Fifty-seventh Congress is the
new and ominOusly unAmerican spirit
of imperialism and colonialism. Impe-
rialism and colonialism have already
cost us in the Philippines enough to
have built 300 warships for the Ameri-
can navy and to have constructed the
Nicaraguan canal
The record of the present Congress
should alone defeat every Republican
candidate for Congress in this years
elections. The Republican party's
abandonment of American principles
and surrender to the land-grabbing and
empire-building policies of monarchical
Europe must of necessity warn the
American people against the peril and
the folly of keeping such a party in
power. There is excellent warrant for
Democratic confidence that a Demo-
cratic majority will be returned to the
next House Of Representatives But
this confidence must be supported by
unceasing effort in the direction of eff
fective organization and aggressive
campaigning. Mkae sure of victory.

Disseminating your ad amounts to the
same thing, and when your name fails
to appear in the papers the reading
public soon forgets that such a man
was ever in business. The people are
looking out for today; they don't have
time to look up "has-beens.
An ad in the paper adds prestige to
your business abroad. The stranger
picking up the paper, naturally judges
the town by its appearance of property.
If you are not represented in it's col
umns, he does not know you are in ex-
istence.. The more space you use, the
better impression you create.
Advertising of the right character,
properly put into effect, always means
an increase in business.

DOES ADYERTISING PAY?

Whats the use for me to advertise?
Everybody knows me. have been in
business here for years, and they all
know what have to SELL" is frequent
remark you hear from merchants. True,
it does not show very deep insight in
to business, but many merchants labor
under the same hallucination.
They seem to forget that the memory
of the public is very short, and that
the people are liable to forget. The up
to-date business man keeps his name
constantly before the public. The peO-
pie have so much to keep track of to-
day that they are apt to, forget occur
rences of last year. In fact, when they
pick up paper today, and see the allur-
ing bargains offered by the wide-awake
merchant, they are liable to forget all
about the advertisement they saw last
week. 1t is the bargains of today that
they are looking for. They are living
today. Yesterday is past and numbered
with the dead.
The people who do things live today,
and are looking forward anXiOusly to
tomorrow. They are up-to-date, and
leave yesterday to old fogies. That is
the reason for persistent, intelligent
advertising, and for constantly offer
ing values which will appeal to the
people, and make them remember the
bargain propensities of a given estab-
lishment.
People who live today don't care what
kind of bargains Merchant Brown Of
fered last year. They have forgotten
all about that ad he had in the paper
before the war. He can't continue do
ing business on the memory that he
sold something extraordinarily cheap
last year. That is ancient history. His
more energetic rival has an ad in the
paper today. 1t tells of bargains Of
fered right now, and these are what the
people want.
There is no merchant who cannot
make a good profit on catchy, twen-
tieth century advertising. Even the
farmer can advertise to advantage.
The man who does not advertise dur
ing the dull season, makes a serious
mistake, and the man who lays in a
stock of merchandise and neglects to
advertise judicially is sure to have a lot
of shop worn goods on hand when ne
goes out of business.
Another blunder made by merchants
is the practice of discontinuing theil
ad until further orders. The con-
slant drop of water eventually wears
through the thickest stone, therefore II
is mistake to cease appearing before
the public through your regular me.

Yours very truly,

Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half Of the people are afflicted more
or less with it in some form. Previous
to the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was
Considered well nigh incurable. Since

Tallahassee has a good library, and
would like to have a first-class public
library, but the Capital City could not
afford to accept one of Carnegie's
white elephants even we're it offered
to her. Jacksonville will get a dOna-
ton of $4,000 for a building, but will
have to bind itself to appropriate $5,-
900 a year to maintain it. A very ex-
pensive luxury, and one that few cities
can afford to accept.

Mrs. Harris Hunter Collected
$4,000 Upon Various
Pretenses.

New York, Aug. 23.--The po-
lice have arrested woman repre-
senting herself to be Mrs. Harris
Hunter, the widow of one time
member OF the Chicago board of
trade on the technicality of vag-
rancy and a magistrate has held
the woman in $500 bail for exams
ination. Mrs. Hunter had tried
to obtain financial aid in the bank
ing house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
by saying that she had an invalid
mother for whom she wished to
buy an invalid's chair. She was
told to come back at certain
time.
AS soon as she had left the
clerk telephoned the Charities or
ganization and was informed that
for the past seven, years woman
answering the description given,
had been going the rounds of the
prominent brokers' offices collect.
ing money upon one pretense or
another. She invariably repre-
sented herself as the widow of a
former president of the Chicago
board of trade, it was said, and as
having lost her money through
various failures. When she came
back she was arrested. 1t is al
legged that she has travelled from
San francisco to New York, coll
lecting money all the time, until,
it is estimated, she has amassed
at least $4,000.
