ty." But we have Lawson's statement
In Everybody's Magazine for November
that STANDARD or Is determined to
kill off Roosevelt, and Standard Oil's
statement that Lawson Is liar. you
pays your money and you takes your
choice"
And this naturally suggests comment
on the November issue of "F'renzied
Finance" 1t is just as well for the
public to bear in mind few things, as
1t reads these remarkable articles.
First, to disnbuse itself of the idea that
Lawson is an author writing for pay.
Bear In mind that today he is one of
the biggest operators in Wall street.
Why In this November story, he devotes
much space, In showing how he innu-
enced public opinion In Boston by the
very methods he ia now using In Ev-
erybody's magazine. He frankly ad-
mits that the publicity used in tho
Addicks- Rogers fight was most po-
tent factor in bringing about results.
1t Is a fair inference that his present
publicity articles are means to an
end. All this should be borne in mind
by n public already too strongly in
sympathy with n man confessedly IN
the same line OF business as the accus-
ed Standard OIL, New York Life and
other Wall street interests. 10 assume
that this man Lawson can use the

more right than Russell Sage or John
d. Rockefeller. Is an idea requiring
most vivid imagination.
And now IL our political leaders have
struck something new, in using paid
advertisements, what shall we say OF
Lawson's articles appearing In Every
body's Magazine. partly as literature
and partly lin our advertising col
umns"? The explanation Of the pub
fishers was ingenious, but was an ex-
PLANTATION that didn't explain. Now
these full pages In this magazine are
selling probably for $1,000 q page.
Magazines with much less circulation
get $3.50 for page ad. Lawson uses
this month four pages. Is Lawson pay
ing $4,000 this month for advertising
space? Sure, 1t is the publishers can
sell those four pages for that amount
of money. Why not to Lawson, or,
rather. why? Again, why should the
publishers have footnotes, calling at
tention to Lawson's "frenzied finance"
Continued In our advertising pages?
All this naturally suggests the query.
Is Lawson paying Everybody's Maya
zine for his articles on frenzied fl
nance? There's an old saw that when
rogues fall, out honest men get their
dues. Have the public any dues COM
ing on this, the biggest Of all the pub
licity articles of the day?

BALDwIN's AlRsHlP.

Now that an alrship has on two oc-
caslons sailed over the exposition
grounds at st. Louis. circling and
swinging from one point Of the COM
pass to another, at the will Of it's OPP
orator, the problem of aerial naviga-
ton seems near It's solution. The two
trials of the Baldwin machine have
demonstrated its dirigibility. AS a
dirigible airship the Californian in
vention must be pronounced success.

Is doubtful that it has any practical
value. The Baldwin invention is not
q flying machine, but a dirigible bal
loon. 1t is a curiosity more than II
promise of practical results. and Of
fers little basis for the speculation
that is filling the air with aerial fleets.
It is simply demonstration of tho
possibility, under favorable conditions,
Of controlling tho direction Of ball

an entirely new principle of flight. The
commercial and practical value Of the
Baldwin airship Is to amuse and as
tonish the curious. Practically 1t be-

3 complaint against his salary, but
censure of his wife. Possibly this par
ticular preacher had been handicapped
by an extravagant wife and an expe11-
sive family. and had cause for MS
complaining, but "sealskin" wives are
not common among the helpmeets OIL
the itinerant clergy Of the Methodlst
or other denominations. The wives OF
preachers have proverbially and his
torcally adapted themselves to musk
rat incomes" They are "sealslSin" only
IN self-denial and sacrifice. In the
particular instance under consideration
the asealskin'' woman seems to have
allied herself with a. muskrat man as
we'll as the income.
There are thousands OF faithful men
in every avenue of endeavor who Will
always remain muskrat men. Simple
sincerity and faithfulness are not the
only grounds whereon to base n de-
mand for a sealskin salary. Hard work
with ordinary ability rarely reaches be-
yond the musllrat stage. The sealskin
positions belong ito those who add ex-
traordinary ability to the capacity ana
willingness to work hard. This is as
true Of the ministry as of other occu-
pations and professions. There are
more muskrat than sealskin preachers.
The preacher should have included
himself with his wife. He evidently
longs for sealskin as much as his bet
ter half. His discomfort is the unsat-
istied desire Of nine tenths Of the Worlo
where all mems desires run ahead OF
their capacities. Properly guided this
desire pushes men far along the way
to the goal Of their ambitions. Unre-
strained it sends them to the peniteh-
tiawy. The insistence of the muskrat
ito pose as a seal makes much OF our
trouble. The "sealskin" wife on the
cheap income goes soonest to the d.
vorce courts; the "sealskin" business
man first into bankruptcy; and the
clerk OH the $50 salary who apes and
emulates the wealthy, goes to jail.
Let us have no contempt felt or ex-
pressed for the ordinary men with the
ordinary incomes. Perhaps they fail to
shine like sealskin, but they keep the
cold away from the heart of the world.
And let us not whine because, beins
Of the muskrat variety, we are outside
the narrow sealskin class. 1t is not the
mar with the seal coat and automobiie
that keeps the world good and going
but the common fellow who wears
oyeralls, walks and carries a dinner
pail.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

But little has been said about 1T,
nevertheless the present national cam
paign has introduced one new feature.
And that is advertising. Heretofore
many tons on pamphlets have been
"franked" thru the mails. and thus
reached the voters. It is well known
that speeches are made IN congress
sometimes a year before a national
campaign opens, said speech designat-
ed as campaign document to be used
later on. Again, In the past, editor
ials" have been sent out in stereotyped
form, which many papers both daily
and weekly have found good copy, and
thus been used. saving the wear and
tear of editorial brains and the cost
Of composition in setting type. But
this year both parties have bought
"space" in the big magazines, and have
paid for articles by men Of national
reputation, and thus have placed be-
fore thousands Of thinking voters
"facts and figures" impossible to reach
such voters in any other way. All this
is decidedly complimentary to the in
telligence of a certain class of our
voters who will carefully read mag
