A LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS.

paperadvertising to increase
or force trade, the following
facts are remarkable: During
December the orders received by
the Douglas Boot & Shoe Co.
of Brockton, Mass, fell off in
consequence of the business de.
pression following the panic. The
advertising manager of that
large concern mentioned the
matter to Governor Douglas, and
asked his advice, whether under
the circumstances they should
place the usual amount of adver.
tising during January and
February, which are usually the
slowest months in the year in
the shoe business. Governor
Douglas at once ordered an in
crease of 80 per cent in the
amount appropriated for adver.
tising, declaring that such an in.
crease would help to overcome
the unfavorable business outlook.
There was considerable skepti.
cism aboutthe result amongst the
principal employees of the Doug.
las Co., but the result showed al =
most an immediate Improvement
in business, which is now aver.
ging more than last year during
these usually dull months.
Thus the business sagacity Of
Governor Douglas has overcome
the hard times, and his optimism
has proven an antidote to the
Republican panic.
The advertising manager OF
Governor Douglas explains the
phenomenon of increased sales,
when by all the rules of business
there should have been a de.
crease, as entirely produced by
ltheincreased advertising. Othe!
advertisers of shoes were
drawing in their horns and many
of their former customer were
induced to patronize the Douglas
shoe because it was more than
ever brought to their notice.
1t seems that persistent ad-
vertising pays, fer last year
nearly 5000 newspapers carried
the Douglas advertisement, and
the profits of the business were
larger than ever. The business
managers of newspapers should
point out these facts to those who
decrease or decline to advertise
at all when business is dropping
and show them that persisten,
advertising pays and that in.
creased advertising pays better
and that the newspaper is the
best advertising medium.

POSTAL SAVINGS AND NATION
AL BANKS.

OSA<AA On VANOS <AINN MA AAVIN.
AL BANKS.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania
has introduced in the senate
bill providing for the establish
mont of postal savings banks.
This billhas the approval of POST
master-General Meyer and will
have the backing of President
Roosevelt and the ADMINISTERS.
ton.
1t is designed to provide a safe
depository for the savings of the
people and incidentally it Is ex.
pected to WELD a large influence
towards the prevention of finan.
cial panics in the future. Under
its terms, the postmaster. general
is authorized to designate Ger.
tain post Offices as postal savings
banks. Deposits Of from 81 to
$500 will be received at these
banks and the government will
pay interest at the rate of two
per cent. It is provided that de.
posits shall be considered public
moneys and subject to the safe.
guards and preferences provided
by statute. This will guarantee
absolute safety to these savings
deposits and in times of finan.
cial disturbance. people who have
been in the habit of with draw
ing their money from the banks
and boarding it in hiding places
are expected to deposit it with
the postal savings banks.
The funds thus deposited with
the government will be rede.
posted in national banks and
thus the money will be kept in
circulation. Bank books are to
be provided for depositors and
money can be withdrawn at any
time subject to regulations made
by the postmaster. general.
Had some such measure bee n
inforce during the past six
months it is believed that the
the financial ..panio through
which the country has just pass.
ed would have been ave1ted.
Senator Knox has given this
subject careful study, and will
exert his influence to secure the
passage Of the bill at this session
of congress.
The chief objection the CoU.
RIER has to Senator Knox's pos
tai savings bill is that it gives
the national banks not only a
finger in the pie, but also per.
mits them to grab the whole
pastry with both hands, and, in
our humble opinion, the nation.
al banks already have too strong
q hold on the people and are
now favored by the governmen t
in every way possible.
Besides if posta! savings are
to be redeposited in the national
banks by post. Offices that have
been designated as postal saw
ings banks, why would it not be
just as safe for those making the
deposits to place them in nation
al hanks direct?
Or is Senator Knox's bill 80
framed that the government will
stand sponsor for all national
banks in which postal savings
are deposited by postal saving 8
banks? If that be the case, then
the government would stand q
good chance to 60 broke if ma {.
tional bank official concluded to
absoond with the money or make
bad loans.,

The Missouri Grip and The

presented for the last time last night.
Both plays took well, the patronage
being good. Commencing this after
roon the Stewart and O'Neil COM
pany will present Quincy Adams
Sawyer" which promises to be one
of he best theatrical bargains ever
offered in this city.
The sale of seat !or SUI. cribers
only for the coming musical festival
which is scheduled for the Taber-
nacle, April and 2, will commence
at the Clayton Music company on
Monday morning. The first weeks

Buster Brown and Tige have been

the play, with the exception of the
specialties and the antics of Buster

however, and there are several pretty
marches and drills.

cd the iiea that the plrpoJe OF

Mr.. Sheldon also declared that

Mr.. Sheldon sail he believed
money for campaign purposes
