Advertising Pays.

Advertising Pays.
The ambitious man regards the
world as his oyster, to be opened
through skill, energy or good fortune,
says the Minneapolis Tribune. The
hero of romance used to boast that he
would open his oyster with his sword.
The next governor of Massachusetts
has opened his goyster with a shoe
horn.
There has been nothing since the
election OF Ben Butler to shock the
staid commonwealth of Massachusetts
from It's propriety like the election of
William L. Douglas, Democratic can
didate for governor. He got over 35,-
900 plurality in the election that gave
Roosevelt over $4,000. This is an
other personal triumph, as different
from that of Joseph Folk as Folks
triumph is from that of Robert La
Toilette.
The success of Mr.. Douglas is a
triumph of newspaper advertising.
He justifies an occasional theory of
the Tribune that political advertise
ing is not only righteous but highly
effective when it is done with the
same common honesty as business
advertising. The only political ad-
vertising we object tots that which
masquerade as news, or is made the
cover of bride to influence editorial
opinion.
Mr.. Douglas is one of the most no.
torious advertisers in the country.
He has built up a business of SS,OOO,-
900 year by judicious use of the
advertising columns of newspapers.
We believe that Mr.. Douglas was a
pioneer in that business, now so
common, of making excellent shoes,
for shoes for sale at a low price direct
from the manufacturer to consumers.
Advertising is the very essence OF
this kind of business. The talent of
Mr.. Douglas for it raised him in forty
years from shoemaker's apprentice
1 to a millionaire. Now it has raised
him to be be governor of Massachu-
sets.
Mr.. Douglas has an open and pleas
ing countenance, which he does not
hide under bushel. His advertise
ments were always ornamented with
his portrait. This has been great
convenience to country newspapers,
which has been using his cut for
Judge Parker. That gave Mr., Doug
las an immense advantage of publicity
|
to begin with. He added to it
frankly by advertising himself as
candidate for governor in the Mass
achusetts newspapers as lavishly and
honestly as he advertised his personal
beauty and his low-priced shoes.
It was a good investment. He got
12O, 900 more votes than Judge Parker
in Massachusetts. Incidentally we
may recall that Mr.. Cortelyou adver-
tsed Roosevelt and Fairbanks in full
page display in the leading magazines
and weeklies, Perhaps straight and
honest personal advertising is going
to take the place of disgusting news
paper graft in political campaigns.

on what they term the big hike" Under
orders from the department com@ander,
General Funston, Company NJ. Nineteenth
United States infantry, has been ordered
to make practice march to American lake
and 90 into camp there for target practice.
The company left Fort Lawton at o'clock
this morning and will probably reach Ia
coma Monday evening.
They were ordered to go in heavy march
ing order, which means that each man,
in addition to his rife, must carry change
of underclothes, pair of shoes, 30 round
of ammunition, a shelter tent, haversack
full of things that he will need, a blanket
and several other articles. All the heavy
baggage will be sent TO Tacoma by rail
and taken from here to the lake.
The men have not been looking forward
to the march with unalloyed pleasure Part
of the route is through the White river
valley, where a fine quality of mud s
known to be plentiful at this time Of

JAPS ARE RUSHING WORK
ON The FUSAN RAIL WAY

where the clear, bright waters wind
through fertile and populous country, or
the billy area within the walls, where
pne-clothed knobs conceal the devasta-
tions, and the governors yamen, temples
and monasteries make a goodly show.
These historic association Of Ping-yang
are full Of interest, and go back fully 5000
years, but the most thrilling incidents are
of comparatively modern date. In 1868
there was massacre of the crew of the
General Sherman, and In 1895 the ever
changing events of the hino-Japanese war.
OF the battle Oh Ping-yang, history has
something to say. The horrors of that
night will never be accurately known The
battle was lost and won when the forts
were taken. What remained was less Of
a battle than massacre. Before the
morning the flower Of the Chinese army as
to drill and equipment had perished, those
who escaped never reappearing as an orr
ganized body. 1t is estimated that from
2 900 to 5000 men were slain, with thous-
ands of horses and bulls, the cavalry being
literally mown down in hundreds, and
lying, men and horses, heaped in mounds.
For the japanese had girdled the plain
with a ring of fire.
All this is interesting in view Of what
may happen any moment in northern
Korea. The safety OF the Japanese position
depends in no small degree upon the rapid
ity with which railway construction is pur-
sued. Already new routes whereby sew
eral miles Of construction is saved have
been adopted, and the railway advance in
Korea thus proceeds with extraordinary
vigor.
OF the Russian tactics on the other bank
of the Yalu, we know nothing; in fact, the
real inwardness of the military position Of
both armies in northern Korea is unknown
save to the respective generals. CORES.
pondents can tell us nothing, for they ars
not allowed to know anything.
MAJOR ARTHUR GRIFFITHS,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-04-16

From German sources comes the state
ment that the lines of communication be-
tween Fusau and Seoul are now complete.
If true, so much the better for the Jap
anese army, for it brings relief to the forces
situated in Northern Korea, and reduces
their anxiety concerning supplies. Thus
far the Japanese advance in Korea has
been slow but effective The leaders have
had exceptional difficulties to cope with,
but. undismayed and undaunted, they have
up to the point Of writing been successful
The energy infused into the operations
for joining Seoul to Win Is enormous
Night and day the operatives labor and
are heavy laden, yet ask not for rest, for
the spirit of conquest inspires the indus
trial as well as military. Their present
idea is to construct a light railway as far as
Ping-yang, and, having accomplished this,
extend it to Win.
Throughout the whole Of northern Korea
signs Of japanese advance are forthcoming.
All the places mentioned are Of some
strategic Importance. Ping-yang has a
truly beautiful situation on the right or
north bank Of the clear bright Tai-dong,
400 yards wide at the ferry. It occupies
an undulating plateau, and It wall, which
is in excellent repair, is q loopholed and
battlemented structure, 20 feet high,
pierced by several gates with gate towers.
The city, large as it was, was once much
larger, for the old wall on the west side
encloses far wider area than the modern
one The walk over the grassy undulo-
tions within the wall and up TO the north
ern pineclothed summit is enhancing, and
the views. even in winter, are exquisite
eastwards over rich plain, to the noun
tains through which the Tai-dong cuts its
way, or northwest to one Of it, affuents,

WRIGHT HAS
A HARD Time

NIayor-elect Wright is very busy man
nowadays. Politicians, Office seekers and
theirs friends are besiegiug him in every
available place. If Napoleon could have
had only a little of the ability that they
display in covering every available retreat
while at the same time maintaining ter
rife bombardment in the front with cross
fires. counter punches, knocks, boots, ETC.,
In rapid rotation, he would not have spent
his last days in exile.
The cause of nine-tenths of this display
of energy is the appointment of Billy
Welsh as commissioner of public works.
There are Democrats of every hue after
his scalp and while they do not want to
come out openly against the mayors ap-
pointee they keep up round OF pro
tests.
The mayor-elect cannot make his appear
ance on the streets without being beseged
at once by a dozen or more politicians,
until he makes a break for cover, which
mich TO his sorrow, he never fails 10 find

When seen by Times man this after
noon he had been undergoing this cross
fire for some time and was not in the best
of humor. The reporter asked if he had

CUSHMAN
ENDORSED

p Representatives from nearly every pre-
cinct in the county met in the federal
court room last night and endorsed the
candidacy of Congressman F. w. Cushman
for denomination. Addresses were made
by John T. Redman, L. d. Campbell John
Shacllleford, f. A. Luce and George 2.
Riley. The speakers urged the necessity
of keeping the Tacoma representatives at
the national capital, and said that the
election of the congressman and senator
were of more importance to Tacoma than
the election of the governor. The meet
ing was we'll attended and enthusiastically
took up the cause of Mr.. Cushman's re-
nomination.
As the interests of Senator Foster and
Congressman Cushman are identical, the
meeting is considered to have been an en-
dorsement of the senator also.

to which he claims Sundberg induced him
to sign a deed while drunk, disposing OF
the land for a $40 consideration. Taylor
is an ilhterate Indian. The land is worth
about $780,
