The Value of Advertising.

Dell RapldS tribune: AL Tn
newspapers of Butte, Montana, were
forced to temporarily suspend publ
cation recently on account of a strike
Of the printers, and the merchants
Of the city were obliged to resort to
All sorts Of advertising. Despite all
the advertising schemes tried. the
merchants suffered a material falling
OF lin their trade, the department
stores reporting a falling off Of 60 per
cent. The newspaper Of Butte proba-
bly, will profit by the experience,
as the Butte merchants ought to be
pretty thoroughly convinced that
newspaper advertising pays and that
no other kind is so effective. The
interesting Butte incident also
affords an impressive lesson to mer-
chants everywhere in regard to the
Importance and value Of newspaper
advertising. Many business men are
prone to regard newspapers as OBJ
jects Of charity and newspaper adver-
Using as a sort Of a donation to
newspapers, but the usual incident at
Butte demonstrates pretty conclu--
sively that they are necessary to
business success In this age Of sharp.
competition. People read newspaper

THEY ABANDON PASSES.
Missouri Roads Adopt Suggestion of
Attorney General HadIey.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 3>-Attorney
General Hadley is apparently making
good progress in his effort to induce the
missouri railroads to discontinue the
issuance of free passes, save to en-
ployes and for charitable purposes. He
is of the opinion that the custom is I'M
lawful, not only under the laws of Mis-
souri,, but also under a recent opinion of
the United States supreme court
AS common carriers, the attorney gen.
eral says that, except to employees and
as charity. the railroads have no right
to haul one person at a different rate
from that exacted from another, where
the conditions are the same.
General ,Hadley received letters yes
terday from officials, with authority to
speak, from two of the large systems
and one smaller one announcing their
future intentions in the matters of free
passes.
The st. Paul says it will issue orders
forthwith to dispense with all passes in
the future, save to it's employees.
The Burlington officials seem Offend
ed that anyone should suppose that sys
tenn would issue a free pass, save for
charity or to an employe, and announces
that it had already discontinued this
practice on its own motion
The Quincy Omaha & Kansas City
system says it has already issued orders
to discontinue passes and will strictly
adhere to this policy.
Quite a number of lines have an
nounced the receipt of the attorney
generals letter and informed him that
they will make definite reply thereto in
the near future.
