Richmond Merchants Decide to Steer
Clear of Schemes

Clear of Schemes.
From American Press.
At a recent meeting of the Retail
Merchants Association in Richmond
Va, the association passed a resolu-
ton practically restricting advertis-
ing to newspapers. This method is
adopted by associations throughout
the United States and is great saw
ing to merchants VINO are continually
solicited to subscribe for much so
called advertising which is of no
commercial value.
The emphasis placed by the Rich
monu commercial body upon the SUI
perior value of advertising in news
papers is based not only on right
theory, but also on practical expe-
rience. A great deal of money is
wasted in injudicious advertising, and
many varied and novel schemes which
business men are solicited to adopt
are far more profitable to the pro-
moters than to the advertisers. Any
form of publicity may have certain
value, but very often the method is
not suited to aid the business which
adopts it, and much money is thrown
away on advertising which doesn't
mainly intended, Or meets their eyes
casually when they are absorbed and
in no mood to give it consideration.
Much of the hand-bill advertising that
is scattered in the yards of residences
is swept into the trash pile or slight
ingly thrown aside as waste paper.
People have formed the habit of re-
garding advertising circulars with
scant notice, if read at all, and bill
board advertising is identified in the
public mind with the blare and ex
travagance of circus and vaudeville
exploitation.
Advertising in the periodical press,
and especially in the newspaper, has
a great advantage over any otner
| kinds of advertising, for reasons
| that may be readily understood. In
the first place, the newspaper affords
wider and prompter publicity and
a more effective distribution of the
advertising information than any 9th
er means that could possibly be EN-
ployed. The daily paper goes into
| hundreds or thousands of homes ev
cry day and is read by thousands OF
people. In the newspaper the adver
ftiser can bring his name and his
wants or bargains to the attention
| of thousands when they have tht
| time and disposition to give a delib
crate and undisturbed attention and
! consideration to what is presented
!. to them in the columns OF the paper

JoINT-RESOLUTI
FOR TARIFF REVISION

Chicago, Nov. PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says
that Immediately after congress con-
Illinois will introduce joint resolu-
tion in the senate, providing for the
appointment of an expert tariff com
mission to- consider and report on
schedules. Such a commission should
be absolutely non-partisan and should
treat the subject in accordance. with
the needs of business and the inter-
ests of the country. In the judgment
of Senator Cullom the time has come
to eliminate the tariff from politics
and make it wnat it should be. a
practical business proposition.

SMALL VEIN IN HOME WELL.
Oil Outlook Takes on More Roseate
Hue-What the DriIIer Thinks.


A small vein of oil was struck by
the drillers in the well of the Home
Oil Company at a depth of 760 feet
Saturday. The oil was in a four-foot
strata of soft, sandy formation that
lies on hard rock. There is nothing
in the find except the best of evidence
that there is oil somewhere in the
vicinity
]. H. Nook, of the firm. Parker
Drilling Co, who is here superintend-
ing the drilling, has been in this bus
mess 25 years and has had experience
in the oil fields of Canada, Pennsylva-
mia, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana,
and is familiar with the fields of the
West. From his experienced stand
point, he says that oil exists in pay
ing quantities in the Pecos Valley.
but cannot say just where it will be
found. The people here will see oil
in the Valley some time, he says.
At Beaumont. Texas, the drillers
go from 1,2O0 TO 1000 feet, and it is
the same at Bartlesville, l. T. Tney
oil in paying quantities at Boulder.
1t is impossible to get a well at less
than 1900 or 1,50O feet anywhere. In
California and Beaumont fields they
find just such indications as that
found in the Home well Saturday, at
Just such shallow depths. 1t is below
these small veins that the gushers
are found, at a depth of 1,5OO to
$500 feet.

two weeks trip to Toledo, Ohio, and

(Sunday nignt)- Late returns receiv

lower the majority of Larrazolo, but
Chairman Jones still claims that he
is elected beyond doubt by a MAORI
ty of 300. Rio Arriba gives $50 for

even, with Larrazolo few votes in
the lead The San Miguel county ma
jority for Larrazolo has shrunk to
779. Union county gives MIN 800. The
latest returns from Grant county low
cred his majority there to 440.
Chairman Jones has already instf-
tuted contests in Colfax and Torrance
counties to have several precincts
thrown out, and will contest Rio Ar

zolo has clear majority.
The latest Republican estimate is
221 majority for Andrews, based on
a claim of 300 majority for Andrews
in Taos county which is disputed.

TALKS OF EARLY DAYS.
GEORGE A. BRACKETT ENTER
TAINs REAL ESTATE BOARD
JUNKET PROPOSED TO KANSAS
CITY.

An entertaining illustrated talk on
the early days of Minneapolis, with som.
views of his pioneer Alaskan expert
ences as dessert, was given last night
by George A. Bracket at the luncheon
meeting Of the Minneapolis Real Estate
board at the Commercial club. w. H.
Lauderdale and other pioneer citizens
mentioned in the lecture were present.
Mr.. Lauderdale was constable at the
time of the first state fair at Fort
Smelling, of which view was shown.
Mr.. BRACKETS talk was received
with interest, especially for some real
estate value comparisons that he made
He was once offered the entire block on
which the Syndicate building is now
situated for $4,000, or house on the
land that he wanted for $75. He bought
the house and moved it off, Remunera-
ton for the lecture was directed by
Mr.. Bracket to be turned over to the
Associated Charities.
President, W; Y. Chute presided at
the dinner and several matters of in
to the bylaws received their first read
ing. They contemplated changes in the
rules on commissions and on member
ship entrance fees. A proposed trip to
Kansas City was discussed and the
time left unsettled. A large delegation
will go to the Missouri city in the near
future for two days investigation Of
real estate values there. The party will
be reinforced from Duluth, Superior
and st. Paul. In the words of the presi-
dent, it is desired too, find out, why resi-,

NINE. BERNHARDT Is
EXPONENT OF ART

One point Of significance in the com
ing, performance Of Sarah Bernhardt,
who will be at the Auditorium Feb. %,
% and "a, is that Mme Bernhardt,
more than any other living actress, SYM
bolizes the conflict raging between the
old and the new. She helps the public
to realize the differences : between
Scribe and Sardou, on the one hand, and
Ibsen and Pinero on the, other. She
has conquered with artifciality peo-
pie long ago committed to Photographic
realism. -. -.
The playgoers are few who do. not
remember some example Of the stand
ards of Scribe and Sardou. With these
| dramatists and their thousand imita-
tors, art came first; nature. had q sec
ond place. They gave a feverish at
mosphere Of suspense, tense situations,
surprises, explanations that burst the
bubble Of plot to discover other ominous
complications, climaxes that developed
as regularly as the clock strikes,
"great'' third acts and tricks of the
denoument. ..>.
These have been supplanted by new
drama which is psychological rather
from conflict of character, and not skill
fully diversified action. Theatrical
| climaxes are studiously avoided. The
Old tricks have given way to a realism
that borders at times on the casual Or
commonplace. Some theme or Fprob-
lem has a solution which is well
known from the first, suspense being
supplanted by curiosity regarding the
treatment by the dran1atist:: Beneath
this fabric the eternal rules of dramatic
art still exist, but. yelled by a show
Of nature and by complexities.
Nine. Bernhard belongs to the school
Of Scribe and Sardou. In the glory of
her prime the actress concealed her art
beneath the spontaneous impulses of
womanhood. =, During the present tour
here art is a Respondent cloak covering
woman Of threescore years, and the
! critics are realizing as never before how
complete and omnipresent is that art.
! Nine. Bernhard has never ceased to
weave her fabric, of artifce. Voice,
gesture, pastures, tempo, form a series
of symbols whichgif employed by less
skilful actress would be as mechanical
! as the wheels and levers Of type
writer. Bernhardts has never abandoned
the artificial methods of her school.
She acts every minute she is on the
stage. With amazing realism she dis
; plays an adaptability to the characters
she depicts and to the changing fash
ions in the drama which is an attribute
of genius. -, :
