On November list, 1908, the adj
Vertising agency Of George P. RoWeu
& Company. which has been in eX-
istence nearly forty years under the
direction of Mr.. George P; Rowell, it's,
founder, passed under the manage
ment Of Frank W. Tully and William
F. Hamblin.
While Mr.. Rowell will continue to
give the agency the benefit of his
long experience in advertising, the new
management has laid down lines of
action that in some respects are
marked departures from what has
hitherto been regarded as the lin
itations to the functions Of an adver-
Using agency. They have to do chiefly
with more aggressive and well-con-
sidered methods for the development
Of new business and with the relations
Of the agency to the newspapers.
Mr.. George P. Rowell entered the
field as a general advertising agent
in 1855. His methods were original
and his activity so pronounced that in
six years his agency had become bet
| ter known than any other institution
| Of the sort had ever been. To so great
an extent was this true that many
persons have supposed him to have
! originated the business and to have
| established the first advertising
agency. It was one of his idiosyncra-
sizes that a bill ought to be examined
! and, If due, to be paid on the day
| of it's presentation.
/ In 1859 he commenced the publ
cation Of the American Newspaper
| Directory, which was the first attempt
ever made to ascertain and make pub
lie the calculations of newspapers.
Even so far back as 1871, Mr.. Roweli,
on account of delicate health, relin-
pushed the detail management Of his
4 business to his partners aid assistants,
and this active management was not
only never resumed by him, but for
several years his face was rarely seen
in his office. In 1888, however. he
established Printers Ink, Journal for
Advertisers, which was the first at
i tempt to discuss advertising subjects
/ seriously.
4 Born in 1888, Mr.. ,Rowell is the old.
est, living Representative of the general
newspaper advertising agents.. Also
he is one of the ablest and wisest.

Bryan Preparing to Bolt.

Colonel Bryan yesterday re1gned
supreme over the Nebraska state
democratic convention, and will head
the Nebraska delegation to the ma
tional convention. He took care to
utilize his own silver tongue in the
reading Of the platform, which start
ed out with the reaffrmation Of the
faith Of the Nebraskan democracy In
the Kansas City platform Of 1900.
The planks embodied the whole theo-
ry of democracy as set forth in that
peculiar instrument, with some addi-
tional, startling declarations, which
Colonel Bryan claims to have derived
from the author of the declaration
Of independence, altho they do not
appear in his written and printed
Views, and must be a ghostly reVela-
ttbn to the modern exponent of "Jef-
fersonian principles"
The Nebraska democratic platform
is a warming to the reorganizers. A
resolution pledging the Nebraska de-
mocracy to the national ticket, re
gardless Of the candidates named
upon it, was ruled out Of order b.

not see fit to acquiesce In the 1mpe

Molander's Reply,

Mr.. Dunn doubtless has his reasons
for refusing to discuss the public
examiners report, but his former
stumpage clerk, S. B. Molander, has
undertaken the defense of his chief in
what, following the Dunn metaphor
might be described as "a tissue Of
denials."
In the first place, Mr.. Molander
says:
I notice that Johnson is very careful
not to make any charge of a specific ma
ture against Mr.. Dunn or to charge him
with any crime Or offense against the law.
The report is full Of all kinds of fnsinua-
lions and suggestions as to what the lum-
bermen might have done to the states
| t1mber-if Mr.. Dunn had allowed them to
have their way.
The object of the report is not to
make charges, but to state facts. There
are no insinuations or suggestions in
the language Of the report. Mr.. Mo-
lander Is supplying them, just as
every reader of that report Is bound
to from the facts themselves. AS to
Mr.. Dunn allowing the men who cut
the timber to "have their way" what
/ LIZ
their way than was done?
Mr.. Molander declares that there
is mot a line to show that the tim

for" Mr.. Molander is bold man
when there are pages to show that
there was no way by which the logs
might be scaled by the surveyor gen

ing" without the log marks.
There Is no CHARGE" says Mr..
Molander, that the state lost as much
as one dollar thru any neglect in filing
log marks" Such charge Is quite I'M
necessary. Proof of the neglect to
record the log marks is sufficient
Anybody can understand the rest.
AS to the recording Of the log
marks. the stumpage clerk says
when no timber was cut or intended
to be cut. no bark mark was recorded
for that season, and this Johnson pre-.
tends to regard as a violation of the
law" Mr.. Johnson doesn't pretend
anything about 1t and doesn't have
to. The law settles that. And Mr.
Molander's statement Is confession
Of good deal more, doubtless, thai
he intended to admit. Why was n,
bark mark recorded? What assur
ance had the auditor or any one els
, that no timber was to be cut?s An,
: why should the bark mark not be reg
istered in the permit when the permit
was issued? That would seem to b
. the business-like way Of doing things
: for then the interests Of the stat
would be protected whether anythin
was cut or not. Without such regis
tration of the bark mark the audito

terests Of the state were protected an

Peace in the Industrial World

The recent past has witnessed the
arrival at three important agreements
between labor and capital which
should have an important bearing
upon the future relations OF these
forces in society. The three agree
ments referred to were those effected
between the bitun1inous coal operators
and the organized miners in four
states; an agreement between the
Analgamated Association of Tin and
Iron Workers and their employers,
and between the Longshoremen's I'M
ion and the Dock Managers associa-
ton Of the great lakes.
The National Civic Federation re-
CARDS the first as the most I'M
portant agreement reached be-
tween labor and capital in this
country for many years, and gives
1t this place because of the difficulties
overcome by the trainers of that
agreement. It will be remembered
that in March the representatives OF
the miners assembled at Indianapolis
under the presidency of John Mitchell
to consider the proposition for a re-
duction of wages coming from the op-
orators. This proposition was re.
jected by the Indianapolis. conference
but with the understanding and the
proviso that it should be submitted tt
a vote Of the miners organizations IL
the different states. Meanwhile thu
whole question had been thoroly dis
cussed by the representatives of thu
miners and the employers with the re
suit that the operators proposition
modified in certain particulars, wa
submitted to the direct vote of tn
miners and adopted by them, altho
involved something of a reduction il
their wages.
The Amalgamated Association Q
Tin and Iron Workers agreed to a re
duction Of wages, and the longshore
men, whose wages have been ad
vanced an average of 60 per Ger
since 1895, have reached a new agree
ment as to wages, provided for arb
tration of all disputes, and adopte
new regulations in regard to cond
tons of labor.

and organized capital on the othe

Two Are Arrested.
John Moberg, well known to the police,
was arrested last night by Detective
James Howard, charged with swindling
John Larson, a Canadian, out Of $50.
Moberg became acquainted with Larson
and offered to let him in on fine deal
in wheat" Larson turned over his money
for the investment and the two went to
the Chamber of Commerce. They got off
at the third floor and Moberg asked Lar
son to lend him his watch, as he had
date 5on the frst floor and wanted to be
back in time for the transaction. Larson
complied, but Moberg did not return. The
matter was reported to the police ana
Moberg and his pal, a man named DE
terson, were arrested.
These men are suspected of swindling
George Lister of Albert Lea out of sS2
a few days ago.
Moberg waived examination in police
court this morning and was bound over to
the grand jury.

Lind and Hearst.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Mr.. Lind is quoted in your paper an
saying that all that he has in common
with Mr.. Hearst is his opposition to inn
perialism. wish I had known that be-
fore 1 voted for him. I would have
crossed his name off of my ticket. Mr..
Hearst favors the election Of United States
senators and presidents by a popular
vote. He also favors the government and
municipal ownership of public utilities. It
appears that Mr.. Lind is on the opposite
side Of these questions.

Mr.. Dunn's friends are very indignant
that the review Of his official services
should be made while he Is a candidate
for office That strikes us as being Pc
culiar When should a mans official past
be reviewed If not when he is a candi-
date for office7 It seems to us that that
is Just the time for the public to know
whether his official record will stand re-
viewing or not. We do not believe that
very much sympathy will be aroused for
Mr. Dunn In that way.

emphasize the advantages to industry
irving at such agreements suggests
the probability that the higher Or
ganization Of capital may have some
thing to do with the ease and prompt
ness with which such agreements are
reached. There is no disposition to
detract from the spirit Of fairness and
the broad-gauged view of labor and
capital taken by such men as John
Mitchell, Sargent and others, but a
knowledge Of the fact that the en-
ployers are organizing and supporting
each other more than they have ever
with the success with which labor and
capital have been able to get together
on these trade agreements, even when
these agreements involve something in
the way Of a reduction of wages. We
have seen the thing work the other
way. When conditions were most IA
vorable, and when there were two
jobs for every man and the volume of
business and prices were both increas-
ing, employers have often been COM
PEELED to yield to the demand for in
creased wages which the situation did
not justify. This was before the Citi-
Zens' Alliance and the Manufacturers
Association came to exert the influ
ence in the industrial world, which
| they now exercise. The point sug.
gested is that industrial peace Is pro
NOTED by the establishment of a bet
ter equilibrium between the forces
which are controlled on the one side
by capital and on the other side b,
labor.

provisions Of the law.
Whether all holders Of permits

ond or third season, or until after the.
bark mark had been recorded, is
something upon which Mr.. Molander
can, of course, give us full assurance.
But in the absence Of any such assur-3
| ance we must be excused IL we enter
tain a mild apprehension that some
such timber cutting was done. And
| If it was done, according to Mr.. Mo-
lander's own admission. the state was
unable to know, because no checks or
safeguards had been provided by
which to determine how much was cut.
Mr.. Molander says: "There is no
law requiring a. permit holder to cut
the timber or any part thereof the first
season, and If there is no timber cut,
why, Of course, there is no mark re-
quired or designated" We wish to
call attention to the fact that this Is
the stumpage clerk who is talking, and
who Is asking an intelligent public to
assume that the permit having been
issued there is no reason why the state
should have any record of a log mark
until it Is assured that some timber
has been cut, and that it is the bust
ness of the state and quite proper fol
it's agents to wait until the holder OF
the permit kindly informs them thai

cided upon a log mark to be regis
