THE ADVERTISING HUMBUG.

Of time. Whether this be true
or not the harvest for the fakir,
the hawker and the all round
humbug seems to be as full
as ever. if not increasing.
The humbug is necessarily a
sharper" and we have them of
all grades from those who prey
upon the unsophiSticated sons
Of toll" to the well groomed. slick
tongued gentry who set their
hooks for those called business
men" The advertising humbug
is one of these.
The advertising humbug comes
to the surface sometimes with
old and sometimes with new
ideas Along the old line are in
Guided ads on the back of show
bills or on hotel registers, bust
ness directories to tack up on
wall, etc. In this class of work
the stranger who talks it up is
always going to have the work
done in the local print shop" Of
course, he will: he is one who
firmly believes in home indus.
try" he does, but he stops short
Of telling that his contract with
the home office is for only fifteen
dollars out Of the S75 he is charg-
ing. On the show bills he is sat
iSted with less, his own work
free and about 100 per cent
profit. One show advertising
advance man informed The News
office in moment of confidence
last year that the show advertis-
ing as well as his salary and trav-
cling expenses all came out of
the business men Of the towns
they visited" Humbugged them
out of it, just as a card directory
man humbugged some Canyon
City business men out of $50 not
long ago. We know this is so
because The News office would
have done the work for these
business men at the prices made
the directory solicitor and the
showman-the difference be-
tween the S15 and S75 remaining
in their pockets.
Another humbug scheme, far
more comprehensive in scope is
that of "A beautiful Diamond
Ring, Gold Watch and valuable
Organ" and similar articles with
high sounding names, now being
introduced in some Of our north
western counties. The plan is
novel one and at once commends
itself to the public" says The

credit of Seymour, be it said,
that few of its substantial bust

in "The BannerD have stock in
the enterprise, if such it can be
called.
Such schemes, headed by the
catchy phrases of given away"
absolutely free" and free of
charge rarely appeal to any
save the credulous. These peo-
pie, in grating parlance called
sucker" seem to lose sight of the
fact that if Jones does pay the
freight" he always adds it TO the
price of the goods sold. Anoth-
er bad thing about il is, the lot
terry feature; an appeal to that
all too prevalent morbid appetite
which gamblers call the excite

RESOLUTIONS.
OKEENE, OKLA., May. co. 1907.
WHEREAS: Certain dispatches have
been sent from this place to the daily
papes, purporting to represent the SEN
timent of the republicans of this COM
munity, said dispatches claiming that
request or demand had been made
for the resignation of j, G. Fisher as
chairman of the congressional commit
tee of the second district, and mas
much as in these same dispatches the
republican organization of Blaine
county was attacked and misrepresent-
ed, and believing that the purpose OF
these dispatches and the organization
(?) of a so-called "club" is on the part
of certain persons to disrupt and dis
organize the republican party of Blain'
county; and assured that the motives
which prompted the originators of this
conspiracy against the welfare OF the
republican party OF Blaine county ar'
malice and a desire to avenge per
sonal grievance at the expense of the
party, be it
RESOLVED: that we, the republican,
of Cimarron township, denounce thes'
dispatches as misleading and not il
accord with the sentiment of the re
publicans of this portion. of the county
and only calculated to disorganize an'

That we believe that persons hav
been induced to sign so-called CLUB

rose of party disorganization, and tina

LAWRENCE D,oRsLAY.

Lawrence D'Orsay, under the man agenent of Daniel Frohman, will ap- pear at the New Haven theater on Thursday night, March II, in his new play Lord Donctster." The scene in Lord Doncaster" are laid at the Brit ish embassy in Madrid during the re- cent wedding festivities of the young king and queen and contains many clever lines and amusing situations. Supporting Mir D'Orsay are such well known players as Herbert Percy, Syd- ney Mather, John Emerson, Harold Heaton Josephine Drake, Mabel Roe- buck and Ida M. Darling.
 In the first act a baby grand piano plays most important part. Pianos have played all kinds and conditions of music, but this is perhaps the first incident of piano playing an import ant part and remaining silent nearly all the time. Tn a great many of the towns it is next to impossible to secure one at the piano stores and so even the private homes are invaded to secure lH6 ueCSsSaLy dl llSle OA AuA iAltuAV
 The scene of the comedy is laid in the drawing room of the British embassy at Madrid Spain, and is most formal but the other evening, as the curtain slowly rose on the first act and the beauty and wealth of Castle were ex- changing greetings with the wife of the British ambassador, a childish voice was heard from one of the front boxes calling "Oh, mamma, look; there is our piano."

 LA brilliant audience and a crowded house gave the beautiful song play Coming Thro' the Rye' a great recep- ton on the occasion of its return visit to the New Haven theater last night. 1t was the same capable company headed by Frank I1alor. The same enchanting music, the same well trained chorus, and they completely captivated the and scored one of the greatest hits of the present season. What more can be said in its praise. It was an un- qualified success from the beginning to the end, and encores were as numer- ous as the flowers in spring. MT. La Tor proved a great card in his song "Clancey," and was kept nearly thirty ninutets repeating 1t over and over lgain.
