bung hole of beer keg and fish
on the inside had swallowed the
hook and was too large to come
through the bung hole. 1t is sup
posed that the fish went into the keg
when small and grew up to full fish
hood in there, as it weighed four
pounds, and the hook coming
through the bung offered an induce
ment to take bite.
That's the supposition of the
Leigh folks but it may be that the
fish darted into the keg when he
grabbed the hook and swelled up
when he got inside to such proper

the keg to get him out. Then,
again, it may have been-a lie.

SOLOMON ON ADVERTISING.

1t is usually understood that adver-
Using is a comparatively modern
science. As it is conducted today it
is scarcely century old. But not
withstanding that circumstances fndt-
cate that Solomon understood the
science something over three thousand
years ago.
If Solomon knew nothing about ad-
vertising why did he write this: There
is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more
than is meet but it tendeth to pow
erty."
Could there be a better description
of the science of advertising in a few
words?
The business man who uses adver-
Using space literally but judieiousIy.
greatly builds up his business. BY
scattering dollars he brings in twenty
dollar gold pieces. But the business
man who refuses to advertise will not
get ahead very fast. If he will not
advertise in any way whatever. but
simply waits for trade to hunt him up.
he is almost certain to fail. If he is
content to do business in a very limited
circle he may exist without newspaper
advertising possibly. by putting out
signs to catch the passerby. This is a
form of advertising, of course. but it
reaches only those who pass that way.
only a comparatively small number of
them.
Successful business men are now
unanimous in saying that advertising
of some kind is absolutely essential for
the average commercial enterprise,
and newspaper advertising is better
than any other kind. provided, of
cOuse, it is inserted in newspapers that
are read and that carry weight WITH
them.
The Vanderbilt lines of railroad are
preparing to spend over one million
dollars in advertising during the com
ing twelve months. It will be expend-
ed under the direction Of George W.
Daniels, for many years general pas
senger agent for the New York Cen
trail. He has made such a success of
getting business for his road by ad-
vertising that he has now been made
advertising manager for all the Van
derbilt lines. with over a million dol
lars to spend in a single year.
If a railroad needs to advertise like
that, how much more does the ordi-
nary merchant. The railroads have
learned with Solomon that there is
that scattereth. and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more
than is meet, but It tendeth to pow

This is said to be the reason Why east
ern railroads have cut on the pass bust
ness.
The State Journal wishes to call at
tention to the. extreme similarity of the
federal statute that Attorney General
Moody says prohibits passes and the
Kansas law which the State Journal
quoted as prohibiting passes in Kansas.
Here is the Kansas statute:
mo railroad company shall charge,
demand or receive from any person,
company or corporation, for the trans
portation of any property, or for any
other service, greater or less sum
than it shall at the same time charge,
demand or receive from any other per
son, company or corporation for a. Ike
service from the same place, or upon
like conditions and under similar cir
cumstances.''
Another section emphasizes this, but
makes exceptions Of clergymen. nation
al guard officers and employees of the
railroad company. who are allowed
passes or special rates, and persons
connected with the railroad board are
allowed to ride free.
Here is the section of the federal laws
which is said to be the statute given
by Attorney General Moody as prohibit
ing the issuance of passes:
THAT If any common carrier subject
to the provisions of this act shall. di-
rectly or indirectly, or by any special
rate rebate, drawback, or other device,
charge, demand, or collect from any
person or persons a greater or less COM
pensation for any service rendered in
the transportation of passengers or
property, such carrier shall be deemed
guilty of unjust discrimination
How much difference is there between
the Kansas law and the federal law?
If Mr.. Moody is right, would it not be
a good idea for the public officials of
Kansas to stop riding on passes-unless,
like Attorney General Coleman, they
are employees of the railroad company?
OF course the railroad companies are
in no danger of prosecution as long as
the attorney general himself is in their
employ and rides on passes himself, but
Kansas certainly ought to have some
public officials who are above asking
the railroads to violate the law.

THE KANSAS Law on PASSES.

called attention to a Kansas statute
which it believed prohibits the issu-
anee Of railroad passes in this state.
But the lawyers some of them-argued
that the Kansas law has nothing to do
with passes, and most. if not all. Of the
state officials and a host of others con-
tinued to ride on passes.
Now comes a report frcm Washing

consulting with Attorney General
Moody on this subject and that Mr.
Moody says that a certain section of the
interstate commerce law prohibits the
issuance Of passes by the railroads.

YERMES.

The story of the life that came to
close when Charles 7. Yerkes died
reads like a romance. The threads of
love, crime, speculation, great business
enterprise, hate, success, failure, all
are woven in and out in a way that
produces a strange yet fascinating
mosaic, but one that can scarcely be
admired
Possessed of great ability as a specu-
lator and promoter, Yerkes early step
ped across the line into dishonesty
and was compelled to don a felon's
stripes. Beginning anew upon his re-
lease from prison he climbed the
financial ladder, by fair means or
otherwise, until early in the nineties
ne controlled most of the street car
systems of Chicago. Incidentally he
also dominated certain Chicago news
papers in those days. Later he sold
his Chicago holdings at a big profit
they were made valuable by franchises
that had been given him free by the
city-and went to New York and then
to London, where he UNDERSTOOD to
give the British metropolis a modern
American system of rapid transit. He
did not, however. live to see the COM
pletion of this work.
The death of Yerkes discloses an
other millionaire worse than William
Ellis Corey in his domestic relations,
because he had twice transferred his
affections. the last time taking up
with the daughter of a notorious
mother. Yerkes began to grow cold
towards the wife of his youth even
before he was sent to prison, and when
he was behind the bars he gave her
rival the opportunity to supplant her
entirely. AS soon as the divorce laws
would permit after his release from
prison he married the present Mrs.
Yerkes. who had supplanted his first
love. But she has received her
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES When Yerkes
reached the height of his wealth he
turned his back upon her to associate
with woman whose name had been a
by-word in another city, and for three
years he had not crossed her threshold.
Such a man was Charles T. Yerkes.
Had his genius been backed by prin-
ciples of probity and honor, both in
business and in his family life. he
would have accomplished great things
in the world dying honored and re-
spected, and leaving the world far
more advanced for his having lived in
it. AS it is. the career of Yerkes is
largely useful in showing pitfalls to be
avoided. Little can be said to his
credit.
