Advertising Brings Fortune.

Ex-Gov. W. L. Douglas of Massa-
chusetts, one of the most extensive
shoe manufacturers in the world and
whose name is familiar the country
over, has made fortune out of ad-
vertising. He advertises solely
through the newspapers. In express
ing himself regarding his methods OF
advertising Mr.. Douglas said:
81 am not a believer in spasmodic
advertisement. My principle is:
Keep pounding away at the reader all
the time Formerly it used TO be a
custom to advertise shoes at only
certain seasons of the year. | never
adhered to that idea. | advertise
and I keep on advertising. When a
season is dull | increase my adver-
tisements. That may seem odd.
Many don't do it. But I do. That is
one of the secrets, think, of success.
Instead of hanging back, waiting for
a slack season to pass. | believe in
advertising all the more. This past
spring, for example, was backward
and cold. 1t was bad for trade. 1
did extra advertising.

Mrs. William Spensley,

passed away at her home on High
street, Galena, Thursday, July IL,
after long illness. For several
years she had been an invalid and
although her death had been hourly
expected for the past few days the
final summons came as shock to her
many friends in the city. Mrs. Spens-
ley was one of the most highly es-
teemed and we'll known residents of
Galena and was woman of strong
christian character whose sense of
duty led her to life of steadfast de-
votion to her home and family. She
is survived by her husband, Judge
William Spensley, and four children,
Hattie, Jessie, Roscoe and Ethel. Her
aged mother, Mrs. Harriet Low, who
resided with her daughter, and two
brothers and one sister also survive
her loss: George of Cedar Rapids, Ia,
Arthur E. of Moville, la. and Mrs
Robert Poole, Of Plamath Falls, Ore.
Other relatives reside at Grants Pass,

Ran into a Bunch of Cattle.

Monroe Journal; A wreck on the
Plattevllle branch of the c., M. & St.
Paul road was occasioned Saturday
night last by the train running into a
small herd of cattle.
The wreck occurred one mile west
of Belmont and at about ten O'Clock
at night. The engine and all the cars
were thrown off the track but luckily
no trainmen or any of the passengers
were injured.
The train is composed of engine,
combination baggage and smoker and
a day coach. The train left Calamine
behind time owing to the Mineral
Point train being late and the engi-
neer had her "wide open" after leaV-
ing Belmont to make up the delay.
They were into the bunch of cattle
almost before they knew it. There
were ten head of steers on the track
and nine of them were killed.

Names Stricken
From Registration List.

The Journal publishes this morning
a list of LAS names which the county
commissioners, in accordance with the
law, have struck from the registra-
ton books, the names SO erased bring
those of persons who have either died
or removed from the county.
This list is published so that all
may read it, and if any errors have
been made they may be corrected. If
in that list there appear the names
of persons who are still residents of
the county, all those persons have to
do to get their names back on the
registration boks is to appear before
the county commissioners on Sept 81
and make the fact of their residence
known
The list published this morning
should be read carefully by everyone,
and if any reader discovers in it the
name of n person who is still in the
county, he should so notify that per-
son. Every man who is entitled to
vote in the coming election should
be accorded his full rights, and every
m2n who has the right to vote should
do so.

Poor Mr.. Goldstuker attended the

of the prohibitionists where his ele-
CANT sight was offended by SO many
patches. and he was so very much
disappointed when he entered to find
it only a religious meeting opened by
prayer instead OF a band of music.
Too bad to have such a great disap-
pointment when his great curiosity led
him to attend. The whole congrega-
ton, too, was mostly ladies and poor
sleepy babies. Really, it must have
been a shock. No doubt many of
those women and sleepy babies repre-
sent homes blighted by drink
Why should this meeting be opened
by prayer and not a band of music?
Strange, isn't it, Mr.. Goldstuker. they
didn't at least have few pieces of

reading his Bible and praying? Seems
strange he didn't carry a bottle or
canteen Of whislsey instead of his
Bible we read of in history. How
many great battles were ever won
without prayer?

Greeting:
We bring to you a message fraught
with the deepest concern for the fu
ture of our good city. a message laden
with the prayers of hundreds Of its
best women and believed with the
tears of an army of sorrowful wives
and mothers whose lives have been
touched by the greatest earthly enemy
of mankind.
We bring to you a message full of
thought for the brave manhood of our
city-Our fathers and husbands and
boys, our friends, as well, who are far
removed from the influence of their
own homes-some woman's heart
beats for them around the distant
hearthstone, and in future years the
boys whose little heads are nightly
pillowed on our bosoms now. and
whose childish prattle makes music
in our ears.
We bring to you plea for the poor
unfortunates whose only hope res
in the hands of true women who will
hold on to God for victory, and brave
men who will cast a vote for prohi-
bition on the LIST day of-October, 1907.

Of the poor unfortunate man who can
not resist the ever present temptation
to drink even though he knows its
fearful danger.
We must have not only the name,
but the attendance at our meetings
of every woman who can possibly
leave her home Can we not for one
month give the right OF way to the
work Of the Woman's Prohibition
League, attending all the meetings to
be held on Tuesday and Friday of
each week at $3.50 o'clock at either
the Armory hall or the Prohibition
tent. corner of Chase and Baylen
streets.
The history of such campaigns is
that without the organization Of the
women, victory for prohibition Is not
assured, but with this great force at
work, few places have failed.
We come to you praying that God
may put it into your heart TO give
yourself to this work for one month,
using your influence to secure votes
and sentiment for prohibition, bring
ing into action your faith for deliver
ance from the awful curse of the
open saloon, and crying to God daily

and who was willing to sign his name
to it, In fact, the wet side has used
that department quite as freely as the
dry side.
In all of these things, therefore,
each side is treated exactly like the
other, and each side is granted more
privileges probably than are granted
by any other paper in the state where
a similar contest is on, and no one
can honestly complain of any unfair
treatment.
But while the papers advertising
columns and its Vox Populi depart
ment belong to those who use them,
and are equally open to all under the
same conditions, The Journals news
and editorial columns are ITS OWN,
and they reflect the news of the day
and the policy of the paper.
No one is allowed to dictate what
shall or what shall not go into those
columns, and no one but The Journal
management is responsible for them.
The news columns reflect the news
of the day, as accurately and as i'm
partially as it is possible for trained
corps of newspaper men to present it,
and the editorial columns reflect The
Journals position on all public ques-
tons with which it has to deal
Everyone should know these things
and practically everyone who can read
does know them.
If The Journal wanted to be unfair
about any of these matters it could
easily do so, but that is not The
Journals policy. We have sometimes
thought, however, that there was such
a thing as being too fair in matters
of this kind, and that seems to be
the Journals trouble with those who
are making the present complaint.
