The Wonders of Advertising.

From Leslies Weekly.
Among the many maryels of this mar
velous age there is none more striking and
none more characteristic than the art of
advertising as developed in modern times.
We talk much about the wonders of the
telephone and the photograph, about the
astonishing expansion of railroads and
Biography but here we have an indus
try as remarkable for its extension and
as wide and varied in its applications as
anything of mans device in any era Of
the worlds history. When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount of money expended in advertise
ing in our day. the novel and ingenious
methods employed and the expert skill
and artistic talent engaged In the bust
ness. one may begin to realize what
a wide field has been opened here for
some of the highest and most useful form
of human endeavor. With all its abuses
and they are not few--it remains true
that advertising is one of the greatest
of popular educators, and one of the
chief promoters of human happiness and
prosperity. And there are yet many ways
in which 1t may be extended to the
still greater benefit of the world No good
reason exists why the churches. the Sun
day schools, the missionary societies and
other agencies of good should not adver-
tise far more than they do, and thus
add to their membership and their power
in the community. To set their advan-
tages, aims and benefits before the public
in a proper way and form would involve
no loss of dignity or prestige, while it
would almost certainly widen their in
fiuence. The time must come, too, when
the absurd code which prohibits phys-
clans and other professional classes from
advertising themselves must be abolish
ed. There is nothing but a sentiment to
prevent 1t, and a very weak sentiment at
that. 1t should be no more mira dig for
physician or a lawyer to seek patients
or clients through the medium of print
than it is for teachers, insurance men,
real estate dealers. or the members of
any other honorable trade or calling.

and that common fairness entities him
to a trial Four months will elapse from
the time he entered his duties until the
regular adjournment of the court. Dur
Ing this short period the chief Justices
time is necessarily taken up with his
official duties. The court being divided
nto two sections, the chief justice must
sit with each. He must consult with
both divisions and must write opinions
in cases assigned to him when time for
that duty can be found. His ability to
do this work and to do it well, as he is
doing, confirms the belief of his friends
that his great industry and power of con-
centration, coupled with his wide and
accurate knowledge of the law, will meet
all the requirements of his position We
do not think that the magnanimous peo-
pie of our state will oppose Judge Weak
ley upon the ground alone that he halls
@from Jefferson county. This great county
is a part of Alabama. Its people are
devoted to Alabama, and her best in
terests. None of its citizens have been
heard TO complain that both of our United
States senator's come from Dallas they
were elected for their eminent fitness,
and the people elected them. The fact
that other citizens of jefferson county
are seeking election to other non-judi-
cal positions is no reason why Judge
Weakey should be refused reelection.
The people at the last state primary
elected two judges of the supreme court
from a single county.
Chief Justice Weakley has been and
is a hard student. His reading has taken
q wide range. He is one of the most in
dustmous Of men, and has heen hard
worker from his boyhood. He belonged
to a class that had to work. BY dnt
of great energy and close application
he built up a large law practice, which
| paid him more than the salary of chief
! justice. It is to his credit that he APP
| preciated the high honor of being chief
| justice more than the money he was
| making. lie is serving the state faith
fully and we'll 1t is not fair that he
should have the remainder of Judge Nc
! Clellan's term?
The STANDARD set for chief Justice
of our supreme court is high. BY any
or every test that can be applied Judge
| Weakley is fitted for the place. He is
| physically and mentally strong and
sound He is dgnified and courteous,
| He has large learning without pedantry.
| He is discriminating and accurate with
| out being too technical. He has the
| judicial temperament developed to re-
| markable degree. AS a man he is with
| out fear and above reproach. As MEM
| Der of one of the evangelical churches,
he actively aids in it's work and his walk
and conversation is that of a Christian
| gentleman Judge Wealkley is a democrat
| and has always supported the nominees of
| his party. He is temperate. earnest and
| capable and II gives his friends pleas
ure to say these things of him. He
| is chief justice by appointment. The

They say of Alfonso XIII that he was

All royal matches are love matches. 1t
is part of our eternal hypocrisy to hail
them as such, but here Is a match which

The news of the match was received
with genuine enthusiasm by the people
of Spain. One hears of little else through
out the country, one sees their portraits

of the common people of the bourgeois
and of the thinking classes-and | say this
without gush and without cant.
If the truth be pursued the match
found no favor in the ultra-Catholic cir
Gle of the court. Queen Maria Christina
had hoped that the choice would have
fallen upon princess of Austria of her
faith; and the great officers of state. who
have for years stood next to the throne
and who through the King have ruled
Spain. were as one in that opinion.
"A Catholic by BIRTH, they urged. and,
though they were in the minority that

nation, imagine the King smiling at this
opposition. IS
