The Best Advertising.

A rather striking demonstration OF the
supreme value Of newspaper advertising
over all other kinds IS given by the Bu-
-eau Of Navigation. which spent last
year 5000 in advertising for recruits
for the navy II was determines 70
spend similar sum this year. but be

profitable line Of advertising was thar

OF S2-S5 each. as against Sl5 10 Ss5 each
through the medium OF certain maga-

There is in this investigation By the
Bureau Of Navigation and its results
most striking lesson for commerce and
industry. which depend for their profits
on being known OF The people. It IS
obvious why the newspaper offers so
much more profitable a feId than any
other medium Part OF the people may
read this magazine, part may read that,
but in this day and age practically the
entire population Of the country reads

CAMPAIGN OF REASON.

From the Baltimore sun.
On the whole, the press OF the United
states has started the discussion in a
spirit free from rancOr and devoid OF
hysteria or vehemence. The leaders in
both parties and the orators should CO
operate with the press TO make this a
campaign Of Tight and leading" and
seek 10 influence voters by argument ad-
dressed 10 the conscience and convictions
and minds Of citizens The thoughtful
press has given party managers very
striking suggestions in It's comments as to
the spirit in which the Presidential con
test Of 1893 should be conducted. 40 par-
tisan who claims 70 be guided by sincere
convictions and absolute honesty OF DUP
pose can rightly deny the same virtues 10
the partisan Of an opposing party. No
man OF independent views viii deny that
the partisan is exercising an inherent
right Of American citizenship In voting as
a partisan. just as the independent voter
exercises an Unquestionable and inalien-
able rght in voting his convictions re-
sardless Of party. The comments Of the
discriminating press indicate that in this
campaign there is a probability. especially

The Open-shelf System.

II IS really distressing thing 10 learn
that the establishment Of the open-sr,a1f
system in many public ubraries-those
that wished their books TO be Of rba
greatest use 10 the public-has developad
a temptation 10 petty larceny All over
The country Libraries have suffered from
The thieves and mutlators Of books. and
Librarians are now looking about for
some plan 10 safeguard their treasures
without deriving the honest public Of
ready access TO the books
The librarian OF the Peoria Library de-
ciares that works Of reference have been
taken from his shelves by the armful. and
that other books have been mutiated by
people tearing out pages and cutting out
illustrations IN one library every volume
on South American history was carried
on another library lost nineteen books
on metallurgy- The Denver Public Il
brary lost 5.g.s volumes in three Years
and the school library Of the same city
lost soo Boston lost l.sss books in 1s6
Providence lost LBS. Los Angeles 4Os4
a1d IN 1877 It lost 5.0s2
The distressing phase Of this larceny fs
That 1t most naturally causes Librarians
70 frown upon the open-sheIf system and
10 guard with great care TIE giving out
OF books 50 as 10 insure their return.
This OF course. implies a much greater
difficulty for the public in procuring
books; and we have long since become
convinced that Libraries came 10 their
greatest usefulness in proportion as their
accessibility Eas increased.
There has always seemed something IL
cOngTuous in the practice OF shutting IN
living books In cases. walled or by glass
from those who wish to read. II savors
