About Advertising.

The Santa Fe New Mexican has an
article on advertising. Here are few
extracts: This is an advertising age
and the merchant who does not adver.
tse is bound to fall behind in the race
for business. This is the same way with
community that has something to
advertise, as for instance this city, its
health giving, health restoring and
superior climate, and almost perpetual
sunshine. Advertising, as IL is now
ipracticed in every town where there are
live, go-ahead and progressive mer.
chants and business men, is practically
new thing, but is growing apace at a
great rate. The business people of the
smaller towns in the country are also
going into advertising in a heretofore
unprecedented manner. This helps
them, helps their chances, helps the
newspapers and indeed helps everybody
concerned, including the consumers and
purchasers who will.knOw then where
to 60 and buy the best in the market at
the lowest possible rate.
The nail order stores in Chicago, Sc.
Louis and other great places do nothing
for the upbuilding and advancement of,
for instance, any Of the towns in New
Mexico. On the other hand, II the re.
tail merchants would keep the right
kind of stocks, make reasonable prices
and do persistent advertising they would
certainly break up the business Of these
mail order stores and increase thsir own
10 great extent.

lively level plain.
Native grasses and shrubs grow
practically all over this area and fur
nish feed for great herds of cattle that
roam at will. This might be said of
much Of southern New Mexico. But
that which cannot be said of any other
vast area in the southwest is that this
great level body Of land is underlaid by
body or strata of water that may be
tapped at distance of about fifty feet
Whenever and wherever an enterpri-
Dg citizen chooses to bring this to the
surface.
The intervening stratum of clay and
sand between the surface and the stra-
tum Of water is as dry as the tradi-
tional powder horn. The surface
water never penetrates to the pure
water of the strata below except
through artificial apertures, and then
the percolation through sand and gravel
removes all impurities within few feet
OF the point OF entrance.
While the mosquito breeds and devel.
ops whenever open water exists; no
specimen OF the anopheles, or stygomia
fasciata, have ever been found in this
region: and therefore malaria and vel |
low fever are not known here, except
the former by importation. and then,
in the salubrious atmosphere the infec.

hardly become epidemic.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-01-17
IMPORTANT TO ALL STATES,

1t is now before the supreme court
of the state of New York to determine
whether a man may refuse to answer
questions necessary to the enlighten-
ment of Attorney General Hadley, Com
missioner Sanborn and the state of Mis-
souri, as to the relations of the oil
companies doing business in that state
And it will determine on what grounds
the refusals must be put if permitted
at all. After the action of the supreme
court in the Rogers case observers
will have a better understanding as to
the probable outcome of this extraor-
binary action. If the Standard Oil
company is finally shown to be acting
contrary to the antitrust law of Mis-
souri,, it may be barred from the state
This is no great thing in itself, but
if the example set by Missouri should
be followed by other states capable Of
making similar cases. then the result
would be serious indeed for Standard
OIL.

TAUGHT THEM new SCHEME
BUFFLO BILL SHOWS ENGLISH
RAILROADS HOW TO MAKE
MONEY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. III did
some educational work with the rail-
roads in England and France and
showed them how to make some extra
revenue by a plan common enough
over here, but which, it seems they
had never considered" remarked "Buf-
falo Bill' at the New Willard hotel.
WHAT put them onto was our Yam
kee scheme of running excursions and
making cheap rates. The first pro-
vincial town I was to show in gave me
the opportunity I went to the rail-
road people and said: See here, am
going to give a great exhibition that
ought to attract the people for miles
around, and will if you will only make
low rate so that the multitudes can
attend They laughed at me and said
they had never heard of such thing,
but finally after much confabing they
agreed to run the excursion trains pro-
vided I'd guarantee So much money,
which 1 did.
The result was a success even be-
yond my dreams. 1 had flaming big
ads stuck up everywhere, and on the
day of the show the crowds poured in
just as 1 had figured. After that it
was an easy matter to get the ex-
cursions, and I never was asked again
for a guarantee"

PENSIONS FOR EX-PRESIDENTS.

What to do with our ex-presidents
is a question that has not bothered the
people lately; perhaps because we have
had but one former president to worry
about and he seemed abundantly able
tn care for himself. But even here a
slight error appears to have been made
1t is now said that Mr.. Cleveland mas
taken the position of referee between
the big insurance companies because he
needs the income.
1t was supposed that Mr.. Cleveland
goods are concerned. If it is not so 1t
is regrettable that the people through
their representatives in congress have
not provided for Mr.. Cleveland legally.
The payment of pension to an ex-
president would be perfectly proper,
justifable and would anger no class
of people, The country pays pensions
to the widows of former presidents and
the country approves Why not to ex-
presidents themselves? A man VINO has
been president of the republic is ex-
pected to keep up a scale of living
often too heavy for him because Of the
fact that he has been president. He
is cut off from many sources of in
come because hea has been a presi-
dent. 1t used to be held bad form for
a former president to appear in court
as a lawyer, but Benjamin Harrison
broke through that silly tradition and
made more out Of his law practice in
the few years he survived his term of
president than he had before. Mr..
Cleveland has had no law practice and
has lived quietly in Princeton, where
ne has delivered some lectures before
the students.
The predicament in which General
Grant found himself after his term as
president is too we'll and painfully re-
In0InDoTeu. Will d large IdIllIly OlI ilio
hands he found nimsel compelled to
earn a living and he was enticed into
business ventures he did not under
stand. He was duped and tricked and
ruined in purse and for a time injured
| in reputation. The compensation for
| this great calamity to General Grant
| is the fact that to it we owe his inimit-
able memoirs Except under the spur
of pressing necessity they might never
nave been written and the world would
have lost one of the most imperSOnal
of personal books. The nation whe'>
it awoke to it's senses found a way to
help out General Grant. 1t restored
him to the army and Immediately re-
tired him on the pay of his rank. The
| matter of pensioning ex-presidents
| was thus avoided wnen it might have
and should have been decided.
