of his product. We call this sort of
 publicity, advertising, and 1t is good
 advertising if this product lives up
 to the claims he makes for it. We, who are interested in reform, do pre-
 cisely the same thing when we take
 steps to interest the newspapers and
 magazines in our pet theories, and if
 our reform is a good thing, the peo-
 pie of the country will stand by and
 back us up. In other words, adver- tising publicity and reform publicity both accomplish the same thing. They arouse public interest and pub lie sentiment in favor of the object
 which they have in view. We have
 come to place a greater dependence
 than eyer upon the power of printers ink in molding public opinion. It was publicity that brought about the downfall of the Louisiana lottery. It was publicity that prepared the way for the present. tinvestigations into Standard Oil. It was a magazine ar ticle that stirred up all this talk
 about the conditions in Panama, that finally led to the president going
 down there himself to investigate. Legitimate printers ink has been foremost in the fight for pure food, and for the regulation of patent med icines. It can be safely said that publicity to-day is the greatest power
 for public good in the country.

HERALD LIBEL CASE.
Defendant Has Entered a Demurrer
 to Alleged Statement.

Bridgeport. Dec 1s.-Judge James F. Walsh of the criminal common pleas court yesterday morning heard Ter to the complaint in the case of state against Richard Howell. editor of the Bridgeport Herald. criminal libel being the charge. The defen- dant demurred on the ground that the alleged libeling words contained in an issue of the Herald were not malicious or criminal and do not re- fer specifically to the complainant as the law requires.
 The words complained of occurred in the Herald last January and arc ga man who coerces workmen in the factory to-day. and compels them un- der penalty of losing their jobs. |" This is alleged to refer to the com plainant. Patrick IT. Connolly of Danbury.
 Attorney Joseph l.. Barbour of Hartford and Attorney Klein of this city appeared for the defendant and Prosecuting Attorney John R. Booth of the Danbury city court and Prose- cutor Michael Kenealy of the crimi- nal common pleas court for the state.
 Attorney Barbour for the defen- dant alleged that the words are no; libelous and that they do not refer specifically or indirectly 10 the com plainznt. as the statutes governing criminal libel require.
 He asserted that In order to be libeious the article would have to charge that the person referred to was guilty of criminal ofense- This he said the words do not. They say the man who coerces the workmen to- day forces them "to do as he wishes.

Politicians of all parties at the cap- itol are talking of the remarkable speech Of Secretary Root this week on the necessity of a greater centrali- zation of power in the federal gov ernment. It is believed that this speech was put out by the White house as a ''feeler' to see how the public would take the suggestion. says a Washington writer. They have taken an interest in it all right and it is just possible that it may furnish a campaign slogan for the democratic party in the next cam paign which was a thing that the party has been looking for with con siderable interest and assiduity. Re publican members and senators are somewhat loathe to discuss the situa- ton although some of the younger ones. with whom the president is a feticb. do not hesitate to sey that they are with him in any of his plans no matter how advanced. The elder ones, however, seem to fear that the president may take the bit in his teeth and run away with the party band wagon. There are plenty of ob- servers who are inclined to think he has done that already. From q dem ocrstic standpoint the utterances of Secretary Root are entirely welcome: they open up the whole question of states rights which most democrats believe have been too much in abey- ance of recent years and If a national issue is to be made on the subject. it will be an issue which will appeal to the north as well as the south. the cast as well ss the west. and cannot be claimed to have anything in it of class and mass distinction
