AN ADVERTISING
 . AUTHORITY TALKS
Or. Sloan of Boston Gives His Opinion
 and His Experience Along That Line.

Dr. Earl s. Sloan and wife of Boston are guests at the Hotel Adams. arriv- ing there a few da~s ago. They are in the valley for several weeks and will probably leave in a day or two for Castle Hot Springs. Few there are who have not heard of "Sloan's lini- ment for man and beast which has for years been advertised in every newspaper of standing in the country and on every billboard. Dr. SlOan's success with the remedy from a busi- ness standpoint is notable. It is sold from one end of the world to the other and in every land where American goods have penetrated.
 Dr. Sloan was asked by the reporter what he considered the one greatest contributory element to his success. "One must have something to sell first he stated. after that. from my own experience. say unquestionably. printers ink. Nothing. practically nothing. could be accomplished in the sale of anything concerning which the public needs to be informed without publicity and plenty of it. l appropriate annually SS6.00O to daily and S72.00O to weekly newspaper advertising. and a tonSlutIdDle sum lo DillDodTuS- Ol ldle years. however. l have cut down the appropriation for the latter use"
 Asked the reason for this lat ter decision. Dr. Sloan said that he had found that the greatest returns on the money invested came from the ad
 vertising in daily papers. .'I feel very kindly toward newspapers generally, for they have been one source of in- calculable benefit. While it is the most expensive advertising on first cost. it pays best in the end. l rarely ever considered cost. if I can get the cir culation. for. unless your matter reach es the people. the money is wasted. That k where many so-called adver- tising schemes fail. They look good on paper. in theory. but they do not give paying publicity
 pr. Sloan said that while billboards were of some benefit. the newspaper as a medium came first. If advertisers kept posted on circulation. as his com pany did, they could know where to buy space and what they were getting for their money. Representatives of several eastern companies are on the ! road all the time looking into the standing of the papers in the principal | towns. Asked what he meant by I standing, he said that another asset be- ! sides circulation. was a papers reputa- | tion and popularity and name for de- | pendability in the section where it was | read. Naturally. those assets gave | value and credence to not only the ! news printed. but to the advertising 1 carried. Dr. Sloan said that he had ! repeatedly addressed associations in- ! terested in advertising. and was always | found to be a consistent advocate of | the merits of the newspaper In addi- | ton. he added that he had come to | know that citizens do not appreciate | how much the progress and prosperity | of d section depends on its newspapers | If business men did for the papers | what they expected the paper to do ]

"I think some of the greatest failures in the world have been made in advertising by people who have little faith in it. who don't know how and never try to learn. On the other hand. some of the most noteworthy successes in com mercial lines have been almost wholly due to intelligent and judicious use cf printers ink

NOISE, NERVES AND CITY LIFE.

It may well be believed that the day will come when New Haven will be giving as much attention to the es- tablishing of peace and quiet within its confines as 1t does now to the pro- motion of architectural symmetry under the direction of its city beaut- full commission. We agree with the Meriden Record when it says The Society for the Suppression of Noises may be fad but 1t Is mighty good one" The suppression of noise need not end with the noises of the Fourth of July either, though that would seem a very good place to begin. New Haven would by no means be taking the initiative in the matter either, but that need not deter action Springfield has taken radical action as to the obstreperous celebration of the Fourth. The same matter is now be- ing urged in Hartford, Bridgeport and Meriden. New Haven would be but following suit.
 The day has passed when the num- Der of those who object to unnecessary noises Is made up entirely of the aged or the weak-nerved. The teachings of science are making us realize al. most daily that life in the cities has its disadvantages. Perhaps most inn portant is the fact that city noises are ve-destroying and, because of that, life-destroying. Everything must be done to overcome the artif1ciality of city life and at once a large field for endeavor is opened up.
 The question arises locally: Who shall take up the work in New Haven

A MAN OF HUMOR.

One of the doubts men have had of the political usefulness of Cover nor Hughes of New York is what has been described as his lack of humor
 1t has been said of him, that he Is a man of serious, if not severe temper- ament and that while such a temper ament has useful work cut out for 1t in this world of varied demands, the political demand requires sense of ,humor to properly gratify its needs
 We have suspicion that the mem bers of the New York delegation are agreed that Governor Hughes Is a man of infinite humor, though per haps of the grim kind. His polite re- fusal to withdraw his name from the list of presidential candidates, posi- tion which he never sought, in order that the delegates may acquire vice presidential candidate from New

Taft should Go t0 Chicago.


 It Is a question with us whether Sec retary Taft has decided wisely In re- malning away from the Chicago con vention. Why should he not be thereg It is a foregone conclusion that he will be nominated on the first ballot, that the republicans in national convention assembled will enthusiastically acclaim him as the leader who will carry on the work of Lincoln. Grant, Garfield, Hayes, Harrison. Mckinley and Roose- welt. Yet. with the exception of Hayes, Secretary Taft is less known by sight than any other republican who has been nominated in the partys history.
 We think Secretary Taft should at tend the convention, by all means. Ills presence would enliven what may prove to be a tame affair without him Ho could remove in ten minutes the re- proach that he Is merely another mans selection He could speak up, like John Alden. and win the delegates on his own personality. It would be a great lively, enthusiastic convention witf Taft present. Without him, there wil be lacking the electric, personal ele' ment which counts for so much In poll ties.

As long as the eatables and drinkahle and oth- CT minor conveniences hold out, the sessions of the national Republican convention at Chicago may be extend ed in an indefinite manner, It may end today; again, 1t may not end until next week.
 If the latter Is the case and neither the governor nor his lieutenant leave until the close, the State will find It. self without an executive head In the interim. Tho only provision made in the constitution of the State for line of succession to the goyernship after the president of the senate has proved unavailable, makes 1t incumbent upon the state secretary to call special ses- sion of the senate which shall choose @ second president. who In turn, shall become the acting governor of the
 state. We should advise MT. Boden- vein to prepare for this contingency in any event. Who knows but that there
 might be serious developments before the governor returns? Nominations are

The board of aldermen. as In Spring field, might pass ordinances regulat- Ing the hours for setting off explosives on the Fourth and enumerating the varieties of them that may be used; the police commissioners, as In Bridgeport, might decide to Insist up- on a decent safe and reasonable cele- bration or public opinion might be focused upon the great need there is for change. But what Is needed Is the minimum amount of noise on all days irrespective of the great national birthday. Co-operated effort Is need ed to obtain that end. Organizations have accomplished wonders In this matter In New York and elsewhere and 1t may well be supposed that they would here. It may seem unreasona- ble at first thought to turn over one great city problem after another to the Associated Civic societies to attend to in It's characteristic and thorough way, but 1t seems unnecessary that any organization for the suppression of noise should be formulated when there is such an efficient institution already fully organized. Cannot the Associated Civic societies organize Q special committee similar to the one which carried on the recent city clean up that shall investigate and deter mine upon ways and means to pre- vent the thousand and one daily noise nuisances of this city?

THE HARVARD CREW SITUATION.


 has resulted in the loss to Harvard | of two of her best rowers, one a vet eran in the varsity shell will mater ially lessen Harvards chances of win ming the great classic event of the | Thames next week. But that fact need not bring feelings solely of joy to the Yale camp. Yale is out to win, always; but Yale wants her victories t) be well-earned and not due to any misfortune of her opponents.
 We have said the incident which has resulted in the suspension of Fish and Morgan from the Harvard boat was unfortunate. The lack of seri- ousness with what they are charged by the faculty does not warrant more serious language. Their offence has been one rather of thoughtlessness than of moral turpitude. One of them was behind in his studies on the eve Of the departure of the rowing squad fer the Thames. There was a ccr- tain book used in the course and kept in the Child Memorial collection In the Warren House library, whence 1t could not be taken away. The young man realized that all his fellow students had read the book and that he would be doing them no injustice to remove 1t from his shelf and he took 1t. The book was handed through a window to tho other young man who is now suspended, and was taken 10 New London. lt is not a case of cheating Indeed, had the offence not been discovered, the book could have been returned and everything would have been all right At tho worst. 1t is the letter of technical fac ulty rule that has been violated. II Is not the place of Yale men to criti- size what these students have done too harshly, for in the Yale camp at New London in former years there have been more serious offences than these.
 IL would seem that the Harvard fac ulty lacked imagination Tn taking tho | JyS n. st. IA less disregard for a minor rule of this kind, without any vicious intentions. Is considered as calling for the same severe punishment that a much more serious offence would receive. But the Harvard faculty should consider that there is the element of publicity to be considered. The fact that liar ward may lose the boat race with Fish, the veteran of two Yale races. out of the shell, need not change the edict of the faculty, but the country wide notoriety that will come to the rover when 1t is known that he has been  suspended for violating the faculty rules must be taken into consideration. The same punishment may vary in severity under different circumstances In this case a less spectacular pun ishment was called for, 1t would seem The incident only tends to substantiate the anti-athletic tendencies of the Harvard governing boards .Sese days As for the rowers, on the other hand as the Harvard Crimson says: "Ilov strange it is that men who are colol bearers of the university be it in ,por' or what not, are willing to leopard lze themselves and the chances of tho men they represent by such thought less act."

NATIONAL MONETARY NEEDS.

some weeks ago. before the present AldrichVreeland emergency currency law, which very fortunately has proved harmless and intellectual, was put through congress in that body's elev- enth-hour burst of enthusiasm this pa per urged the necessity there Is. great CT than that for an emergency curren- cy, for the whole monetary system Of the country to be put under tho gov ernmental magnifying glass and exam ined. The necessity for a national mon etary commission was shown. whose members should rather be men of wide experience and unquestioned reputation in banking economic and financial cir cles than men who are In politics. Con gress did appoint monetary commits sion, but one made up of the latter class, the politicians. and. as With many other things in life. what has been done in haste will be regretted at our leisure
 It would be difficult to think of any thing more important to the country at large than monetary system that is as perfect as 1t can be made. That Is q matter of first consideration Indeed 1t is questionable If 1t Is not more important than whether this or that man is nominated at Chicago and Den yer. A little sober thought will con- vince one of that, for no matter wheth- CT Taft or Roosevelt, Bryan or John son Is nominated, the country will con- tinue and quite possibly prosper. But, with poor monetary system, the com mercial interests upon which all is founded will succeed but poorly. It Is probable that before the monetary com- mission comes to any adequate deter minations, considerable amount of in vestigation and large number of hearings will have to be held. The sooner a start is made, then, the bet tes.
 But what has the monetary commis- sion accomplished so far? Absolutely nothing. Its members are now 30 en- grossed with national politics and prob ably will continue to be for some months to come that they will have no time or thoughts for the weghty concerns which have been thrust upon them. This congressional tendency for committees to defer investigations ana even to put off making reports to con gress, when 1t is in session, after they have decided upon their conclusions, is Cannot this most important committed awake to its great responsibility and work? The country expects much of 1t It's members, on the other hand, seem convinced that the currency laws jus, passed will prove to be the flnancla panacea. They will not There are mon. etary troubles, possibly. that are more serious than those that the new emer. gency currency law was drawn up tc prevent. A hint at this is given by q writer to the New York Post, whc says: Congress in It's currency legis

When the suggestion of the city beautiful plan was first brought up some one said he thought 1t would be better to have well-paved streets than beautiful ones and, as New Haven did not have either for the most part, the beginning should be with the former.
