Some business men have an idea
that handbills and dodgers are superior
to newspapers as advertising mediums.
Handbills are good in their way as
auxiliaries, but they are no more to
be compared to the advertising columns
of a newspaper, says the Danville
Advertiser, than pushcart peddler en-
Broadway is TO be compared with John
Wanamaker's great emporium. The
peddler attracts attention fol- moment
If he be an expert, but the great store
rivets the eve and loosens tbs purse
strings of those whose trade is worth
having. The handbill is crumpled in
the hand and soon thrown aside. The
newspaper is carried home, read and
reread and filed away. There is some
thing besides the advertising there
entertainment, informatlon-wh which
adds value to the advertising beside
which it is placed. Adve: tisements are
read now more than ever before, some
times before what is commonly known
as news, for advel tisements are some
times the latest and most vital news,
vitel to everyday life. The headline
of an ad. can be made as attractive as
the headlines of wedding and the
bargains Offered as allurlng as the
wedding feast. The business man
who talks to the readers of news
paper as he talks to the customer In
his store is the one who wins. Use
hardbills and posters if you wish, hut
places your hope for returns In the
columns of the tavoIite newspaper.

TIME SERVING CONNER
CIALISM.

Time was when men and communities,
eaders of thought, and the press, stood
for principles. Now the tendency is to
accept what comes and utilize it to the
best commercial interest. The change
is not healthy one. For nation with
out fixed principles may be buffeted
about by any wind, like ship at sea
without rudder, And tickle COM
munity, like tickle man, never strong
of purpose, is of doubtful success.

The legislature orders an lnvestiga-

the curious fashion of committees in

Governor Cox has come out boldly foI
law enforcement and especially for the
enforcement of the Adams law. The
Governor could adopt no surer a method
of winning the commendation of the
people of Tennessee and the nomination
to succeed himself two years from now
The Governor is quoted as follows:
while member of the Senate | voted
against the law to extend the provisions
of the four-mile law to cities and towns
of from 1000 to 5000 inhabitants be-
cause did not believe that public senti
ment demanding the legislation was
strong enough to enforce the law, and that
it would be honored in the breach than
in the enforcement. However, it seems
that in the town of j oh 1son City, where
there is population of 1000, the good
people through their courts, have en-
forced the law and have convicted ten OF
the violators. cannot place myself in
the ipcoslstent position of saying that the
law cannot be enforced because of lack
of public sentiment by pardoning those
who have been convicted of it's violation
through the efforts of the good citizens
of the town of Johnson City"

or course the King can do no wrong.
or course the people will shout and

monkeys of themselves wherever the
