The Importance 81 Advertising

Time was when advertising was regard
ed as blowing ones own horn,' and
there have been in it at times fakes and
frauds, just as there have been in other
lines of business. All that has changed
very perceptibly in the past three or four
decades. Business men have realized
that the world is too large to ask the
people in it to hunt around and find out
for themselves what the manufacture
makes and what the merchant has to
sell. The possible consumer must be
found and told about what is for sale
and why lie should buy it. That is all
there is to advertising.

The opposition in the West to the
trusts is taking a course to make itself
felt. Nebraska is to establish a State
plant for the manufacture of binder

after Kansas decided to establish an oil
refinery. If these State institutions
prove a success other States may be ex-
pected to follow in line, to the injury of
the overcapitalized trusts.

Charming Hats
Displayed

Our millinery department is at
its best and so busy that the show
ing of hats is necessarily almost
new each morning. We anticipat-
ed a big millinery business, but we
must admit that our efforts were
severely taxed. But we got more
trimmers and so we are once more
ready to face about. Our advice
to you if you wish a new hat for
Easter is to place your order NOW.
We can surely suit you. So many
shapes, color effects and ways of
trimming that there is surely a
hat to suit every face. We can't
begin to describe them, but we
can invite you to come in and see
them. Small and medium hats
are the latest evolvement-pla-
teaus twisted, turned, held insome
saucy turn-up shape and worn a.
tilt as a rule. The governing i'm
pulse in all the new shapes though
is the tricorne-adopted, modified.
You wish to keep in touch with
the newest? Then come here

wild RumOrs AfOat.

Ever since the close of the legislative
session last Friday morning there have
been wild rumors about the Hillery
maximum tax rate bill becoming a law
without having been passed by the SEN
ate and the consequent necessity of an
extra session of the legislature to cor
rect the trouble and properly pass the
bill. How it could be possible for a bill
to pass the senate, then be amended in
the house, as was done with this meas
ure, and reach the governor and receive
his signature without the senate having
adopted the house amendment was a
problem that puzzled the oldest clerk.
Senator Minturn of Hudson was the
first to call attention to the bill. He
was opposed to it in any form and
soon after leaving Trenton wired to
Governor Stokes to withhold his sig
nature from the bill because it had
not been passed in the senate with the
house amendment. Others held that il
had been passed in the regular way.
Governor Stokes had already signed
the bill when Senator Minturn's dis.
putin q 1ONClNCu, OuI d1 CSlISd.
ton was commenced, and then rumOrs
Of an extra session arose. The inves.
tigation developed nothing definite I'm.
til Monday, when Senate Journal
Clerk S. Merchant Meeker of Union
county came here and went over the
senate minutes. A brief search dis.
closed the fact that the bill with the
ho1co o,nnaJn,op ho1 ,0ooIal H.
ate Thursday evening and had been
passed by the senate. This set all the
rumors Of irregularity at rest and
proved c~onclusively that the bill had
been properly passed.
1t is surmiSed that Senator Minturp
was busy with other matters when in
the rush of the closing hours the bill
was given a hurried reading in the
senate and put through without his
having been aware of it.
Stokes Recommendation Accepted.
One very gratifying feature of the
legislature to Governor Stokes was
that every project he urged was made
effective by enactment of laws on the
subject. All the bills embodying his
We're passed. Among
the governors recommendations were
the following: The creation of a de-
partment of charities and corrections
to have supervision over the state in
situations with a view of abolishing
any extravaganza there might exist;
the establishment of a state board Of
equalization Of taxes to settle and adj
just all disputed tax questions; the
taxation of second class railroad prop
erty at local rates; the fixing of a maxi
nun tax rate for all municipalities of
the state; the creation of a commission
to revise the corporation laws and
recommend such changes as may be
necessary for the better safeguarding
OF public and private interests, and the
creation of a forestry commission with
q view of having preserved the forest
lands of the state.
The governor evinced the greatest in
terest in the measure providing that
the maximum tax rate should not ex-
coed $1.50 per 500 valuation in any
municipality Of less population than
$4,000 and $1.70 per 500 valuation in
any municipality of more than 10000

Federal Elections.

In my last annual message / said:
"The power Of the government to
protect the integrity Of the elections Of
its own officials Is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations of the supreme
court. There is no enemy Of free gov
ernment more dangerous and none so
insidious as the corruption Of the elect
crate. No one defends or excuses cor
ruptlon, and 1t would seem to follow
that none would oppose vigorous meas
ures to eradicate 1t. | recommend the
enactment of law directed against
bribery and corruption in federal elec-
tions. The details of such a law may
be safely left to the wise discretion Of
the congress, but it should go as far as
under the constitution 1t is possible to
go and should include severe penalties
against him who gives or receives a
bribe intended to influence his act or
opinion as an elector and provisions for
the publication not only Of the eXpend-
itures for nominations and elections Of
all candidates, but also Of all contribu-
tlons received and expenditures made
by Political committees"

hours before the polls closed. Then
a tin peddler with a sick horse drove
into town and all further interest in
the election was forgotten. The work
ers deserted the polls in a body, the
electors who hadn't voted refused to
leave that sick horse to do so and
when the result of the count was an

pulling at the horses ears for the last

LITTLE POKER AT WASHINGTON.
Stories Of Big Games Must Be Taken
With Allowances.


With Allowances.
IT was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members Of Congress,
Much was said about the Senatorial
game" "millionaires' game" and the
Congressional game" and always we
heard about great punches Of money
changing hands, bluffs as high as the
banks Of the Mississippi, and all sorts
of stories.
Frequently the senator. representa-
tive, diplomat or rich man was named
and the winnings or losses told with
as much gusto as If they had really
happened. There were some pleasant
poker games in days gone by, and oc
casionally some wonderful plays, but
one night, with few interesting Incl
dents, furnished material for month
of stories.
Some Of those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker IN
the capital to hang story on.

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers. a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be sweeping state

women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing down
feeling painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.

women to health than all other RENE
