large crowd of interested spectators
was in attendance j. H. Adams, as
sistant district manager of the Re

went on the witness stand yesterday
afternoon continued his testiomny He
said that the 8-hour system would
increase the cost Of productions; that
furnace laborers work u hours per day
and that tipple work, washing and the
like at the mines, were such that the
output could not be handled in eight

Judge Gray, chairman of the arbi-

sharp questions regarding the commits,
sary or company stores system. He
wanted to know if it would not be an
easy matter to issue a laborer a SIS
bill as to give him SIS check. Wit.
ness Adams testified that his company
did not discriminate on account of
color in the employment of laborers,
and that it had as many negroes as
whites. Reverting again to the com
missary system, which seemed TO in,
terest Chairman Gray more than any
other feature of the investigation the
chairman asked if it would not be
better to pay the laborer more fire.

company had originally been establish.

'for man to work for 800 per month
and get only SIS because of this store

The statement referred to the meth.
cd OF discounting store checks for cash.
The witness said that negroes drew
checks to get money for gambling and
for drinking. Judge Gray inquired If
the present system did not encourage
these immoral practices.

Everybody's Magazine for November

The November contents-table of Every
body's Magazine makes most inviting
showing, presenting as it does stories
and sketches by such amusing writer's as
Alfred Henry Lewis, 0. Henry and Eugene
Wood. The reader is likely to find him
self in the midst of Francis Bellamy's
article about Successful Men Who Are
Not Rich" without dreaming that there
is a serious moral to it. Mr. Bellamy
AYERS that the nation is losing it's ideals
and that today success only means
wealth. The millionaire is the modern
hero. The newest creed is, he says:
brains may be more important than
money, but nowadays the best way to
convince the world that you have brains,
is to make money" The smart set of
New York is frank in it's exclusion of peo-
pie who are not rich and has no place for
statesmen, authors or scientists unless
they have money. On the other hand,
he instances important men in this coun-
try whose position is splendid protest
against the prevailing craze. Their
careers, as stated here, are certainly in
spring. The article will set people think
ing about certain significant tendencies
in modern life.
Alfred Holder, who collaborateo with
Josiah Flynt in his series of studies OF
Graft in American Cities" describes in
Reform That Reforms" what has been
accomplished for decency in New York
by an honest administration There is
also an authoritative summing up of the
career of John Alexander Dowie by a
man with the analytic capacity for the
task-I. X Friedman, the distinguished
Chicago novelist.

Oqden on Advertising.

The firm of John Wanamaker in
Philadelphia, New York and Paris
has a reputation in two hemispheres
for successful advertising and mer-
chandising. Therefore what Robert
c. Ogden, a partner of Mr.. Wana-
maker and a man OF scarcely less in
tellectual power and note than Mr.
Wanamaker himself, says upon the
subject of advertising may be accept
ed as we'll nigh authoritative and
conclusive. He says:
First-Advertising is business force
and a very great power-the channel
through which the merchant speaks to
the people he desires to address.
Second-With the public mind fixed
upon business as it now is, with the con-
petition that exists, without advertising
OF the proper kind, a business cannotfb fbe
successfully prosecuted to any large de
gree.
Third-Lack of courage is one of the
most common experiences of advertisers.
A great deal of advertising fails OF its
results because the advertiser gets dis
couraged.
Fourth-A mans advertising is the
test of his character, as he speaks and as
the people have an opportunity to judge
of the truth of his printed utterances
day by day, they will form the estimate
OF his character.
