USES OF ADVERTISING.

TFrom the Minneapolis Journal.l
Two Boston men have recently dem
frustrated the value of advertising in
somewhat untried fields. Douglas, the
shoe man, advertised himself as a can
didate for governor in much the same
way that he had advertised himself as
a maker of shoes. Result: He romped
into the office by a big plurality. More
recently Thomas Lawson has been able
to rattle Wall street and disturb the
great house of Rockefeller by means
of a stock-market raid in which dis
play advertising was his principal
weapon Thus have both statesmen and
fnanciers learned that advertising has
other uses than that of persuading the
purchaser and the seller of dry goods,
groceries and other commodities to get
together.
Speaking of new uses of advertising,
did you notice what a thorough and dis
Greet advertising campaign the Repub-
Iican national committee conducted in
the interests of the national ticket? If
we mistake not, this sort of advertising
IS quite as novel as the Douglas expert
ment, though little has been said about
It. Spacious advertisements of the Re
publican party and its candidates ap-
peared in all the leading magazines.
They were handsomely illustrated, well
written and adapted in each instance
TO the nature of the clientele of the
magazine. In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal we read much about the president
as family man; in Outing advertise
ments told US about him as hun ar and
lover of outdoor life; in the Century
we found him described as scholar and
historian; in McClure's special empha-
sis was laid on his record as an enemy
Of evildoers and the incompetent.
Little attention has been paid to this
able advertising in explaining the won
derful triumph of the Republican party
at the recent election, but why should
at not be accorded its full share of the
honoTs9 If advertising in Massachu-

forestry bill introduced by Congressman
Tawney. Mr.. Tawney is doing a good
thing. On the islands of the southeast
err Alaska archipelago there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of fine
spruce timber adapted to the manufae-
ture of wood pulp. The importation of
this wood pulp ought to stimulate the
paper industry on the Pacific coast, and
even in the interior. now that the sup
ply in the United States is becoming
scarce. 1t would be interesting to know
under what conditions that old law was
enacted, and whether it was for the
benefit of the paper trust. The opening
of such a vast supply of pulp wood will
naturally create an opportunity for the
establishment Of new paper making in
dustries on the Pacific coast, and in the
long run the repeal of this law ought to
operate to the advantage of all consum-
ers of paper
