A Word 10 Our llarchants.

Under the above editorial head we
find the following timely talk TO his
merchants and business men by Editor
Peacock, of the Dunellon Advocate
Some of our merchants are carrying
lads" in the Advocates majority OF
them are not. Those who are carrying
them are doing the right thing, both TO
themselves as well as to US. Those who
do not carry ads in this paper are doing
themselves wrong-and while not do
ing us any very great wrong, they GER
tainly are not doing US any good by not
advertising.
costs money to advertise and no paper
can live and get out every week, full of
bright newsy items of interest to the
community in which it is published, I'M
less It has money to do so with-and
the only source of revenue that a paper
has is from its advertisements. The
subscription alone wouldn't begin to
pay for the paper used.
We have made some improvements in
the paper since we've been here, and
are on the eve of making other inn
prOvements to give you first-class,
all-hOnhe-print, country paper. These
improvements will cost money and we
must have sufficient advertising from
our home mrchants to make these i'm
prOvements pay. We don't ask, and
don't expect, any one of you to take
space in this paper with the idea that
you are contributing so much TO Char
ity." But we do want each and every
one of you to take some space-a small
amount at first, and increase the size of
your ads as you realize profit from
them, and treat the investment in ad-
vertising space the same as you would
any other business proposition, by Civ
ing it the same time and attention that
you would an equivalent sum of money
that you have invested in a stock of
shoes, dry goods, groceries, etc. You
will then see wherein advertising pays
a larger return upon the same amount
of money as otherwise invested.
Some of you, of course, will never
believe that advertising pays-that's
your belief and no fault OF advertising;
while others are satisfied that it pays
some people but not me"-that's
ines fault.
Now there's no use talking, gentle
men, advertising does pay, or there
never would be millions of dollars spent
every year for advertising unless hand
some results were achieved from such
practice by the successful business men
of the world. OF course there is good
advertising, bad advertising and indif-
ferent advertising. The first one pays,
the others do not, so we will not con-
slider them. The way to do good adver-
Using is to take a certain amount of
space and insert in it something that
will attract attention, that tells of
what you have to offer--and that's
about all the public will do the rest.
Then-keep changing that ad.
Really, that's about all there is to it,
If you have anything on earth that
somebody else could possibly use.
Try tits a fact-and don't forget
about this now-it costs money to run
this old Gag of freedom, 80 advertise

The POst0fEice Department Is getting

of each year. The department has been
weighing the mails for the past six
months or so for the benefit Of q special
commission that is to report the same
matter to Congress. The only remark
able feature about the present yearly
weighing Is that it is being done while
Congress is not in session, and while It is
harder for accommodating Congressman
to add a few tons of public documents
each to the aggregate weight. This is
thing that is done almost every year,
and it is remarkable that the depart
ment should be 80 neglectful as to have

No communication from the

has been involved a plan to cover

president. Some of the leading
mine owners are considering a plan
to close the mines for a year, and
so starve the members of the West
ern Federation of Miners out.

on territories refused a favorable
report for the present on this
nomination, but saw no reason for

ciaD The Associated Press dispatch
received here this morning an
nouncing that the nomination Of
Gov. George Curry will not be act
ed upon until after the holiday re-
cess was not unexpected. 1t has
been rumored for several days that
charges had been sent from here to
the senate committee on territories
against him in which every incident
of his career since he came to New
Mexico when boy. is set forth in
the worst possible light.
These charges are said to eminate
from a certain clique composed
partly of disgruntled republicans
and of democrats. The charges
come from parties who have been
creating strife IN the republican
party for the past three years maxi
ing II a business of sending charges
to Washington against republican
officials. The source of the charges
and the motive of them are we'll
known in official circles and will be
made known to the public soon.
The fact that an attempt is to be
made to use occurrences in the gov
ernor's life. long before he became
governor, does not meet with pop
ular approval in any quarter. The
governors administration affairs in
this territory have been so clean as
compared with other administra-
tions that 1t Is not thought for a
minute that anything of conse-
quenee can be brought against him.

Curry Will go to Washington at
once after his return from the Pc

morrow at the latest and which
time II is understood more detailed
information will be made public.

KENTUCKY WHITE CAPS
CAUSE IATERNAT|ON
COMPLICATIONS
Italian Government Demands
That Uncle Sam Protect
Foreign Interests.
LOSSES WILL AMOUNT
TO ABOUT $1,000

Washington, Dec. 23.--At the re-
quest of the Italian ambassador,
Secretary of State Root has called
upon the governor of Kentucky TO
intervene to prevent the further de-
siruction by might riders" of to-
bacco belonging to the Italian gov
ernment and stored in Kentucky.
indemnify is asked for the to-
bacco destroyed in the raid of the
night riders on Hopkinsville. This
tobacco was purchased by the Ital-
Ian government, which maintains a
monopoly of the sale of tobacco of
all kinds in Italy The governor of
Kentucky has reported that he is
investigating the matter.
Other matters about which the
Italian ambassador complained re-
lated to the treatment Of Italian
laborers in the states of Mississippi
and Florida. In the first name
state laborers had been abused be-
cause they were Italians and came
into competition with the native
labor, while in Florida they were
made the victims of a system of
peonage, which was worse than
slavery.
AS in the case of Louisiana and
Kentucky all that Secretary Root
could 40, owing to the limitations
upon the exercise of the federal
power, was to promise to communi-
cate with the executives of the
four states, asking them to investi-
gate the complaints and endeavor to
extend to the Italians the protec-
ton guaranteed them by treaty.
