A FAIR GAME
Is Demanded of Seller As Well As
Advertiser by Advertising Men.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 26.-Smith r..
Queal of Cincinnati, president of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea. addressing the delegates at the
opening session of the annual cor
vnntion of the organization here today,
said:
1--WE have taken advanced ground
upon the subject of fraudulent adve"-
Using. We demand that the seller as
well as the buyer play . fair game. To
that end we will ask you to support
4 resolution providing for a sworn cir
culatcn statement from every circu-
hating medium that sells advertising
space We will ask you to authorize
our complaint committee to prosecute
every scnundrel who sells fake adver-
Using.
In few years we should have a
complete rouges gallery. where the
record of every rascal who discredlts
the profession by Icing and stealing
will he open fer any one to read. The
days Of the crooked, flashy solicitor
are numbered.
Eve have heard much recently about
the sc-callcd fraud orders of the Unit
ed states poStoifice department. Any
business that comes under the suspi-
cion of the postotfioe department. may
be denied the use of the mails. Such
procedure. without Il fair hearing, is
autoc1atic and un-American. We are
more concerned in this matter than
any other organization in the states. A
resolution will be introduced asking
for review of the cases in the federal
courts"

how taxation can be reduced. That's
easy. Cut out those extravagant APP
preparations the legislature has been
in the habit Of making each session.
There's $4,000 spent for so-called
state fairs that could be dispensed
with, and a number of minor state of
fees that should be cut out Each
session of the legislature could be
conducted economically. and we be-
lieve that the administrative depart
ment could be conducted as success
fully with thousands Of dollars less
expense. Each branch of the last leg

up the most appropriation bills: in
fact, the states money was to be had

CHlNA's TRIBUTE TO AMERICA

The announcement that China has
determined to send to this country
and constantly maintain here zoe stu
dents is the greatest of its kind since
the publication Of the will of Cecil
Rhodes. The manner of their coming
is one in which Americans may well
take pride.
The United States government re-
luctantly took part in the march Of
the allies upon Picking during the
Boxer troubles: with greater rcluc-
lance. not to embarrass unanimous
action by discord, it put in. like the
other nations. an Indemnity bin swol-
len by ridiculous and ul-founded
claims and charges. But afterwards
while other nations held to their in
IDENTITIES apparently as a means of
retaining a political and financial
grip on the country and even a saw in
lis system of taxation, congress. to
its honor and ours, voted to return
the greater part of the indemnity.
The official students are to come in
recognition of that act of Justice. Re-
turning with American ideas. expert
ence and education to a land whose
veneration for knowledge is tradition
al, and which is now by the death of
both the emperor and dOwager en-
press on the eve of a great change,
their influence upon the future Of
their country and upon its friendly re-
latiOns with our own should be almost
intellectually great-World.
