Taft says the greatest problem of
today in America is the administra-
ton of justice He acknowledges that
the opportunity of the man of wealth
to procure counsel places him at an
advantage over the man who has not
the money to obtain legal advice.
And, then Mn. Taft adds, there is no
absolute remedy"
In other words the people must
continue to endure the laws delay"
while the wealthy few only shrug their
shoulders, do as they please, and by
obtaining expert counsel, evade pun
ishment. And. there is no absolute
remedy. Mr.. Taft says so.
The poor man may be charged with
crime, may be innocent, and yet being
unable to pay the price Of service to
some one who has studied the trick
cries of the law, he must suffer the
penalty. And, there is no absolute
remedy says the Republican nominee.
But, there is remedy. 1t lies with
the people themselves. Il lies with
the voters of the country today who
choose the men who make and en-
force the laws Not only make and
enforce, but amend and repeal the
laws already in force.
Taft does not stand for a policy of
absolute remedy" The republican
party, and those who guide it by the
flow of their money bags, are con
tent with the administration of JUS
tice as it is-for they can afford to
pay the expert counsel his fee.
If Taft stood for the absolute
remedy" he would not make the
statement that has been reported II
is true that the absolute remedy
may not come for years The laws
of the United States are now too cam
plicated, too burdened with technical
ties, too complex and intricate, to per-
nit of an immediate revision that
would bring about absolute remedy in
the unjust administration of justice,
but remedy there is, and the people
will not be deceived by Taft's de-
cision that there is no absolute
remedy"

ADVERTISING.
SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING NJ

story is told of prisoner who called the judge
a fool. The Judge fined him $40. He paid the fine
but asked: DO you fine people for thinking, your
Honor?" The Judge answered in the negative.
Well" he said, Il think you're feel still
If should print my personal opinion of some big
advertisers like not I'd get fined but it is perfectly
safe to think.
If traveller came to you and talked of the stuff
which his house prints advertising you would put
him down at once idiot.
The talk is unnatural; sounding brass and a
tnking cymbal; unreal, insincere dead. The reader
feels that it isn't the talking;
there really isn't anybody talking; words
just printing
Good advertising is good talk; the frank, honest
kind that convnces.
An advertisement of one hundred words should
make the reader think five thousand words; and
herein is the whole of good copy. 1t isn't what
you say that counts but the chain of thought which
your advertising creates.
The more you fuss over your advertising copy the
poorer the result 1t isn't job to stutter about to
apologize for to burn midnight oil If you
want to make advertising hit all you need to do
is to talk to the reader of the newspaper you talk
the counter to customer.

Advertising is a wildcat up tree. Once you
shaken him off, the problem of Letting 60" is
quite difficult the problem of howlding on"
But what you need in either is nerve; and a
reasonable regarding the future.
1t rarely pays TO spluree. Make your appropria-
ton deliberately and carefully. Prepare good copy.
Advertise continuously; every day at least every
week Your is the seed the plant. The
advertising is the rain and the sunshine. You can't
rush the growth. 1t may take weeks months to
produce flowers fruit.

it the best ever
independence day was celebrated in Paris by sew
eral adjoining towns The 24th of july above re-
ferred to, is the natal day of the Mormon kingdom
within the republic the anniversary of the day when
the hierarchy set up its establishment in the Salt
Lake valley.
1t is popularity referred to as the Mormon 4th of
July and is observed by Mormons in preference to
the national day of rejoicing which had no sgnifi-
canoe to them until the mountain country was oc-
cuped by numerous Gentiles from the states. who
brought their customs with them
Mormondom sprang almost entirely from foreign
stock, the church having procured the mass of its
early recruits in England Scotland Wales and the
Scandinavian countries They came into the terri
tory of the church from the old country with so
little contact with the citizenship of the United States
that they learned nothing of the patriotic traditions
of the past
So to the old stock, the 4th of july with its pomp
and display and hilarious enjoyment is meaning
less anniversary while the teachings of the church
impress them with the Importance of the 24th of
July and it is to them the cherished day.
Nearly all the Mormon customs mark them as an
alien race, the prophets and the apostles and the
pendence from the government, building upon an in
tention to erect empire of their own on the free
soil of America

Injunction Without Notice.

Many of the people of the United States have not
forgotten that some fifteen years ago, the state of
Ohio had an honest attorney general-one F. S..
Monnett. In the performance of his official duties
he encountered the Standard Oil company and after
a long fight against the trust and the Mark Hanna
politicians he defeated the trust in the supreme court
of the state and the court issued an order of disso
ton that was never obeyed.
AS a reward for his faithful energy, Mr.. Monnett
peremptorily retired from office by the republi-
machine of Ohio. He had rebuked one of the
leading contributors to the Mark Hanna barrel
Mr. Monnett who has since been representing as
attorney the interests of organized labor attended
the Denver convention and urged the incorpora-
ton of anti-inunction plank in the democratic
platform "I have" he said "been fighting this battle
for fifteen years, or ever since Judge Kicks and
Judge Taft, who were then on the federal bench,
issued sweeping injunctions the former in the Mch-
gan Southern and the latter in the Lake Shore rail
road strikes"
Up to 1874, Mr.. Monnett explained at Denver, the
law the subject contained clause providing that
