SIMPLICITY IN ADVERTISING.

Brevity, perspicuity and simplicity in
the working Of an advertisement multi
plies the value of advertising space
many times. The first idea of a news
paper advertisement is to catch the at
tention of the reader of tine paper. In
nincty-nine times out of a hundred the
reader, be it the housewife or the male
head of the family, mas something else
to do besides wnding through mass of
wording in an advertisement to get at
the gist of tine bargains offered by the
merchant. A bright, catchy, simple,
concise advertisement will catch the eye
of the person who is looking for n par
ticnlar line of goods in an instant. If
the wording of the advertisement is re-
dundant and proiix. if it contains a lot
OF unnecessary vcrbugc, the chances arc
that the person who is reading the adj
vcrtisement viii pass it by.
Ono of the men instrumental in sett-
ing the style of John Wanamaker's adj
vcrtising which has never been excclled
or successfully initiated, was asked what
he believed constituted its chief attrac-
ton, says Printers Ink, leading jour
nal of advertising. His reply brings
out the case in point and illustrates how
easily understood phrase or paragraph
may be If treated properly. He said
that simplicity of language constituted
the chief attraction of an advertisement.
what model have you followed" he
was asked. "Jesus Christ" he replied,
"whose sermon on the mount contains
more matter in fewer words than any
piece of writing in the classics. Christ
said, Blessed are the meek, for they
shall inherit the EARTH Some of the
adwriters I know would have said,
Blessed are the poor, oppressed, down
trodden meek, for they shall positively
inherit the earth, with its unsurpassed
scenery and glorious climate at terms
never before dreamed of in the history
of successful retail merchandising.
That's the difference"

LuKE-wARM. AND WHY.

While the editor of the News is
dwelling so extensively on what Re-
publican papers may have said of Daw-
son in his campaign for the nomination
for governor. nc to be consistent should
reproduce in fun the declarations he
made about Short, the clique's nominee
for sheriff. 1t Is a fact and he can not
successfully deny it, that he was bit
ter in his dcnunciation of the nominal
tipn of Short and the manner in which
it was done. He went so far as to en-.
Phatically declare in a public place
where several heard him, that Short
could not be elected and that his nom
nation destroyed all possible chance for
Democratic success in this county this
fall
The Telegram has called his attention
TO this matter a time or two before, bit
he remains silent on the subject. He
knows he said it. he knows he fels it.
he knows it was so. He also knows now
that he feels the same way about It
now and knows it now just like he did
then. But he expressed his true belief
at a time, before the clique had been
able TO see him and bring the pressure
TO bear. even the clique lash, which
doubtless meant that the jig would bc
up with him 50 far rs keeping his iof
was concerned unless he changed his
time and did the bidding of the clique

MoB-RuLE ADVOCATED.

The Democratic organ publishes in its
editorial column an article which it says
is contributed. in which the writer takes
advantage of the accusation against one
negro to prejudice the public against the
entire race. That paper mas been blow,
ing its horn loudly about observance of
the laws and telling the public that it
believed in law and order and yet here
it comes along giving editorial position
TO an article that makes a plea for the
taking of human life contrary to the
laws Of the state. The writer abuses
the governor because ne and those asso-
ciated with him in administering the
laws of West Virginia did not drag tho
carcass OF this accused man. and there
is no objection TO saying negro, by y
rope from MoundsviIle 20 Charles Tow
at the tail-end Of Pullman chr.

piece Of anarchy that has yet been given

4 without even nnotner inuEAhuI.
In this Connection it may REASONABLY
be drawn that the clique, whose tool h
is. hired and paid to do its bidding AMI
wa0 around It like a cur that fears hi
master, even fooled him all the time AND
actually got him to believing that The
clique favored Rignter and not Short
for the nomination. He like some who
had enlisted in the supposed intentions
and plans Of the clique was fooled to
the very last, even to the last ballot in
the convention ON the shreivalty nomnn-
tion. For is it not n matter of p1b-
Iicity, even VIGOROUSLY public, that one
who had been close, as ne supposed, to
the clique and closer still to the News
editor, vigorously demanded in the con-
vention of members of the clique that
it deliver the goods as it had promised
and, when he got the icy INIT right there
and then by being informed that the
clique was running the convention and
not he, did he not openly and above
the noise and clamor of the convention
accuse those members of the clique Of
failure to keep their promise and faith
with himf Did he not tell them they
had betrayed those who had agreed to
assist the clique and had broken the
compact in the most reprehensible man
ner. Did they deny itf What did they
dot Nothing. Did they deny it? No.
Now, these are circumstances that
prove conclusively the character of that
Democratic court house ring and the url-
trustworthy policy it has even toward
those who are thought to be its friends.
Also in this connection this doubtless
accounts for the scarcely luke-warm
support the News gives Short. Its edi-
tor is not in sympathy with MIN and his
policies. Its editor does not believe he
can be elected, for he himself has said
so, and he feels that it is a losing fight
already. But the editor of that sheet
has been forced to keep mis- mouth shut
as to what he knows and believes about
it and is compelled, even eoerced and
possibly threatened, to accept what the
clique wants said about it and to ri:ink
publicly at least ms the clique does.
The clique is working on him by de-
grees and after while perhaps he will
be sufficiently keyed up to come out
with some heart Mt least for Short, al
though we do not believe that eondi-
tons in his own party viii ever be en-
couraging to him in that respect, or such
as to really make him change his mind.

CHARLES : FITTRo

The Democratic clique sheet never
.wearies of nssailing the Republican nom
inee for sheriff, notwithstanding the
fact that it can find nothing against
him except that ne is the nominee OF
the Republican party. All prominent
business men who know him and have
had dealings with him know MIN TO he
man in the true sense of the word, and
among these are Democrats, who are
prominent business men, and they intend
to vote for him for sheriff. They know
he is worthy of the office and viii be a
credit to the county. They know he is
fitted for the Office.

And so it developed that Short was
counting and seeking the Prohibition en-
dorsement, just as the Telegram told
tine public all the time, but he did NOT
want it made public. 50 said relative
of his in the convention. but it got out.
This shows that he was working the

both sides, doubtless by instructions

Barrymore to Make Her
Local Debutin First
Parts.

The Columbia Theater's season of
1904-O5 will be inaugurated next Mon
day night.
Miss Barrymore is considered to-
day as one of the particularly bright
lights of the stellar field and has a
very fashionable following. Her pro-
duction of Cousin Kate" was distinct
ly the most successful comedy offer
ing of the past season in New York
ard despite the lack of interest in
theatricals her performance was of
such a caliber as TO make it necessary
TO play four return engagements in
order TO meet the demand. Miss Bar
rymore comes here supported by her
entire New York cast. including among
others Bruce McRae. Grant Stewart,
A. D. Wilkes. Fannie Addison Pitt,
Beatrice Agnew and Anita Rothe.
The advance sale of seats for the
first week of Miss Barrymore's en-
gagement begins to-day.

Do not your books show that re-

for more wheat than was received?"
"Is it not fact that there was writ

the books which was to have been held

afternoon, as the attorneys for the de-

goes on at 10 o'clock this morning.
