knew no bounds. 1t burned into the life of the man until he thought
in Union Pacific.
When E. H. Hartman took a trainload of railroad and news
paper men as his special guests formally to open and dedicate the
Lucin-Ogden cutoff he unconsciously gave Derlow the opportunity
to achieve his most distinct advertising success. Darlow with avidity
seized the opportunity. He did something stupendous, colossal
in the line Of advertising for the Union Pacific. He had the story
of that wonderful line of track across Great Salt Lake told and illus
trated in daily papers, weeklies, monthly magazines and periodicals
of every description all over the world, and they kept telling It and
reteling 1t for months, 1t made fine reading, yes, but II made ex-
ceIlent advertising. Darow knew this. Mr.. Hartman soon perceived
It, and railroad and advertising men everywhere showered their con-
gratulations upon the passenger department of the Union Pacific.
How much was this worth to the Union Pacific? No telling. More
than it would seem modest to estimate. The publishers realized
they we're giving the road great advertising; they also appreciated
its value as legitimate news.

r o SPHERE Of commercial enterprise has developed more
extensively in the last two decades than the advertising
business. No line OF industry has radiated in a IS many DIFF
ferent directions, no occupation has exacted a greater
amount of keen intellectual endeavor, or versatile thought
or action, or produced more varied results of success. No
large business today is complete or securely entrenched in its chan
mel Of competition without an advertising agency or department
whereas a score of years ago stad conservatives scoffed the neces-
siy Of such an adjunct, today the leaders of American commerce lay
most emphatic stress upon the essentially of a well-ordered and
highly skilled advertising system.
Advertising, then, a IS a independent vocation and an agency to
trade, has grated itself firmly and finally on the body polite Of
business. Long ago it passed the stage Of experiment and temporary
expedient Demonstrating its indispensability, 1t has gone on pro-
crossing and developing, and finally has become a science of itself,
and in the hands of its best opponents an art. 1t has enlisted in its
field of operation men and women of the highest mental attainments,
many of whom have devoted years in special preparation for their
profession. 1t has led keen intellects into new channels of thought
and research. Aside from it's intrinsic value to the business directly
involved, this exploitation has proved of incaculable benefit to the
word-atlarge, contributing in a vast degree to the sum total of is
wisdom and learning.
The advertising agent who does not believe in his work, who
cannot faithfully and conscientously give his talents to the promo
ton of the interests that have employed them, would do himself
injustice and his employer severe injury If he did not abandon his
field. That is one of the virtues of the profession. Success in this,
as in most other lines of occupation, depends upon a complete mas
terry of and faithful subserviance to business. This is peculiarly true
Of advertising. The evils of pretended devotion, whether 1t take
the form of high-sounding rhetoric or fictitious personality, are OBJ
vious and inevitably fatal, reacting with equal detriment upon the
representative and represented. A man may for a time exploit to
the world an interest in whose merit he does not believe and seem
to succeed, but If he pursues this course long enough it will in all
probability lead to mutual failure, or at least come far short Of the
possibilities which a genuine faith might attain.

era. The Union Pacific has indeed been we'll advertised. It's adver-
Using has been of a high order, too. Darlow, unlike many men
who see in such an occupation only the means Of earning a gooc
living or advancing to a higher plane commercially, brought to hA
work the fine, sensitive touch of the man of letters and made of 1t a
sphere of literary excellence that attracted universal attention and
multiplied the benefits to the Union Pacific.
AS the advertising agent of the Union Pacific, and as an adver-
Using man, Darlow has a national reputation. He was one of the
most widely known and popular railroad advertisers in the United
States. Among the newspaper and magazine workers it is question
able If he was not the most prominent. He had a good acquaintance
with newspaper men in almost every state In the Union, and they
knew him and liked him. They do yet, and always will. They and
Darlow were friends, and are friends yet. True, they can't do for
Darlow and Darlow can't do for them just what they used to do for
each other, but the friendship established in those years that are
gone will endure and on memories tablets will be inscribed lasting
impressions of pleasant associations.
Why did Darlow cultivate this extensive acquaintance among
the men of the press? Why, If not directly to help the Union Pa
cifc? The old Union Pacific was dear, and no doubt will always be
dear to Darlowrs heart. His devotion to its interests and welfare

conscious, and in the full use of his
faculties, and for the last few days
of his life vas bidding farewell to
friends, and bidding then meet him
in The better land. He spoke quietly
but confidently OF his hope in Christ

a resignation to the will Of God that
it was otherwise.

transformations uprightness, He has

HAVE A SMALL MAJORITY
Republican State Convention at Hur
+, on in April VIII Show an
/ lnsurgent Majority

The result Of Tuesdays primaries
hre fully determined. 1t is conceded
that when the republican state con-
Sention is held at Huron April I,
that the inurRents will be in control,
with about a majority of thirty dele
gates, sufficient to operate the con-
kention to their satisfaction.
The primary, however, did not
end without showing a splendid gain
for Senator Kittredge in many coun-
ties In the state, which heretofore,
have been classed as insurgent coun-
ties The claims first made by the
insurgents press, particularly the
Sioux Falls organ, were beyond all
possibility Of being true, yet they
thought they would 90 high enough
as to frighten the opposition. at
the first the Press claimed the insur.
gents would have a majority of 1893 in
the state convention. The zeal re-
turns, however, show a failing off
OF about l55 delegates, which is not
bad for the Press.
The stalwarts have not lost q
county which they carried two years
ago and have brought back q goodly
numl er into the stalwart column.
Hutchinson county which was a
strong insurgent county two years
ago, electing the secretary. of state
from that county, is a tie. With
che falling OF of the insurgent vote
and the fact that they will not in
all PROBABILITY have a state candi-
date at the June primary, the stall
warts will carry the county for Sena-
tor Kitt.edle. In Lake county two
years ago, the Insurgents saept
|everythiag their own way. The
primary Tuesday showed that the
insurgents carried the county by a
bare majority Of twenty, while the
city Of Madison gave the vote of
four wards to the stalwarts. Two
years ago Grant county was irsulgent
by a large vote, but the stalwarts
carried at the primary by a vote Of
2 .to /. Bon Homme county has
always been an ipsurgent county,
and twoyears ago the vote was strong
for that faction. The primary Of
Tuesday revealed a very weak con
dition when the insurgents carried
lit by only a majority of two. Davi-
son county. clairaed by the insurgents
two years ago vas swept back into
the stalwart colmun by a majority of
over 200 votes, carrying til zee wards
in the city and getting one-half of
the country precincts. 1t is SO in

there is every east to beljey that

The total merchant tonnage

Of our new tonnage is for foreign

ships were found on every sea, and

service which has the benefits of the

no inducement for Americans to build
