The Gospel Of Advertising.

Smith and Newberry, the
butchers, are firm believers in
the efficacy of newspaper adver-
Using Their faith in this kind
of publicity has been very ma
terially strengthened by an in
cident which occurred just recent
ly. on this wise: They were de-
sirous of securing a meat cutter
and thought of advertising for
one through the local paper.
After having intimated their
intention to our advertising man
ager they were advised by said
manager to seek a medium for
this particular class of advertising
in a paper which has more gen
eral circulation in the state. Be
fore acting upon this suggestion,
however they received an inquiry
from B. T. Hatchell of Granger,
stating that he desired to come
West and engage in the butcher
business, with the result that a
satisfactory engagement h $
been made for his services. Mr..
Hatchell informed Messers Smith
and Newberry that he had been
prompted to make his inquiry
by having seen their regular
weekly advertisement in the Can
yon City News, though he was
not a subscriber to this paper.
All of which goes to show ID that
a paper is read by many people
who do not perchance take it,
which insures a circulation far
above its bona tide list; ~ that
advertisements are real, nOtwith-
standing the opinion of some
merchants to the contrary and
last but not least that it PAYS
TO ADVERTISE; INCREASINGLY
at it are those most likely to APP
preciate its benefits. The oc-
casional advertiser, or the bust
ness man who does not advertise
at all, should offer his bust
ness for sale. Any kind of adj
beats no advertising at
all, has been the experience of
other people besides p. T. Bar
mum.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Some time ago The News re-
viewed the proposed constitution
al amendments at length and
gave its reasons for and against
them. Upon this matter in it's
July 6, number The News said
in part
AS a rule The News is opposed
to tinkering on our constitution;
It's bad practice as the people
of our sister States already know
by sad experience, but in the
case before US the proposed
amendments seem to be of con-
siderable merit, especially two
of them; the exception being the
one which proposes to levy a tax
to pay Jurors.
Jurors are being paid right
along all over the State and at
present the only object The
News can discover for the pro-
posed amendment is to raise
more revenue-get more money
from the people where the limit
has been reached in other direc-
tons. 1t is the wrong way of
getting at the right thing for if
more money is required with
which to grease the official wheels
it could easily be had by enforc-
ing the present laws. AS viewed
by The News this amendment is
a clear case of whipping the
devil round the stump" and it is
positively opposed to methods of
this character when it is sought
to make the constitution of our
State party to it.
The amendment proposing a
salary of one thousand dollars
for the year succeeding election
to members of the Legislature,
aid making it an offence to re-
ceive or otherwise traffic in rail
road passes, The News is of the
opinion should become a law.
The present pay is much too
small and the proposed amend
ment, according to The News
view, is a step in the right direc-
ton; its tendency would be like
ly to secure us better men as
Representatives and hence bet
ter laws, and would go far
towards checking the big rail
road corporations in obtaining
their cinch on our law making
machinery
The other proposed amend
ment, that providing for exemp
ton from taxes of church and
school property, ought to be
adopted.
Such was the opinion of The
News on first reading these
amendments and the only change
since then has been a little weak
ening on the Legislative salary
business.

The HeII.Bound Train.

Twin iiooA.
Having drank so much he could
drink no more.
So he fell asleep with a troubled
brain,
And dreamed that he rode on a
hell bound train.
The engine with blood was red
and damp,
And brilliantly lit with a brim-
stone lamp;
For fuel an imp was shoveling
bones,
While the furnace rang with "a
thousand groans.
The boiler was filed with lager
beer,
And the devil himself was the
engineer.
The passengers made such a
motley crew
Church members, atheist, gen
tile and Jew;
Rich men in broadcloth, and
beggars in rags;
Handsome young ladies and
withered old hags;
Yellow and black men, red
brown and white
All chained together. What a
terrible sight.
The train dashed on at an awful
pace,
And a hot wind scorched the
hands and face,
Wilder and wilder the country
grew,
And faster and faster the engine
flew.
Louder and louder the thunders
crashed,
And brighter and brighter the
lightning flashed.
Hotter and hotter the air became,
Till the clothes were burned
from each quivering frame.
Now in the distance arose such a
yell
'Ha, ha, croaked the devil,
we're now nearing hell"
Then-oh how the passengers
shrieked in their pain,
And begged for the devil to stop
the train;
But he capered about, and sang
in his glee,
And laughed and ioked at their
agony.
"My faithful friends, you have
done my work,
And the devil can never pay
day shirk.
You have bullied the weak and
robbed the poor,
And the starving brother turned
from your door;
You have laid up gold where the
canker rusts,
And given free vent to your
feshly lusts;
You have justice scorned, and
corruption sown,
And trampled the laws of nature
down.
You have drank and rioted, muir
dered and lied,
And Knocked at God in your
hell-born pride.
You have paid full fare, so I'll
carry you through,
For its only just you should get
your due.
Why, the laborer always expects
his hire,
