THE CAMPAIGN ACT.

There is no axiom, perhaps, so thor. oughly American as "it pays to adver- tise," and there could hardly be any. thing more typically American than one phase of our political campaign. We refer to the fact that the republican national committee is spending part of it's funds in advertising--as significant tribute as could be paid to the value of printer s ink. The october maga- zines contain four-page advertisements eulogizing the candidates of charac- ter,' an alliteration that is catchy, and catchiness is one of the first aims of the successful advertising writer. The ads tell in detail what the republican party has accomplished, and they declare in bold-faced type that ''Taft's election insures continued progress. :"
 It would be curious to note--if there were any way of finding out-what ef feet these advertisements will have on the average voter; not the hidebound party man, but the voters who are on the fence, who are really desirous of doing their whole duty to their country by voting for the man whom they be- lieve will best serve the interests of the nation.
 There is curious sort of frankness about thess advertisements. They cost g. good deal of money; that is evident. In effect, they only reiterate the statements which the campaign press bureaus are paid to get into the daily newspapers. only in the newspapers they do not ap- pear as advertising but with some show of authority. Another curious phase of the matter is that the value of adver- Using depends very largely not only on the medium employed, but on the value of the product advertised. A man may sell almost anything-once--if he but advertises it enough; but if wha. he has to offer is less than he claimed for it, if his advertisements are rot honest they are certain not to pay. .he people who read the advertisements oi the re- publican committee have no me,ns of testing the wares advertised. Samples are not furnished gratis, and there is no coupon attachment offering people their money back if they are not satis- fled. So the advertisements neet! to be strong if they are to be convincing, be- cause if those who read them are moved by them, and should find themselves deceived in any way, they hav, no re- course. If they pay the coin of their votes and get little in return, tl'ey may be sure that the postofice dep artmenf is not going to issue fraud order against the firm doing the advertising
 Great. indeed, is the value of adver- Using. It seems to be regarded as panacea for all ills. Only the other day We read of town in Illinois which had long prayed for rain in vail, and which finally inserted an ad in the local papers for rain, and it rained the very next day. There seems to be nothing that cannot be accomplished by aiver Using, if it is done judiciously; and whatever the effect of these political advertisements may be, the republican committee must, at least, be commended for having at last adopted up-to-,'ate business methods.
