According to news from Tucson Hon. Tom Fitch has just received a handsome sum of money as fee for representing Japanese clients in the matter of custom duties paid by them in Honolulu. MT. Fitch is well known in Arizona; he has resided in Ar4- zona at various times in the past. His home was in Tucson when the Southern Pacific railroad was con- ppleted to that town and was the principal speaker at banquet given by the city in honor of. the occasG ion. The last appearance of Tom Fitch in Arizona was two years ago when he accompanied General Aims worth over the territory and made speeches in favor of joint statehood. No one in Arizona Will begrudge MT. Fitch his present good> fortune. though he did not increase his popU- Iarity in Arizona eny by his joint statehood escapade.

The Arizona Star, one of the State | Consolidated string of papers, keeps nagging about the expense of the ter ritorial government, and hnjustly. Did anyone ever hear a. chirp of the State Consolidated papers in Cochise coun- democratic ring" in managing the af fairs of this county? 1t just depends on how much of the expense finds its way into the treasury of the State Consolidated whether or not money expended in territorial or county al fairs is extrayagance.-Dispa
 The above. clipped from the morn ing growier, is an animation that the democratic administration has in the past been directed by a ring and that the newspapers owned by the State Consolidated Publishing company had been feeding on the fat of the county treasury. Such a statement is wholly unwarranted. The democrats have given Cochlse county a good govern ment and 30 far as the printing done by the State Consolidated papers they have done none except what was awarded on the lowest bid. At the present time the contract for the greater part of the public printing of the county is held by republican.
 It is to be hoped that the above rn- called for item is not torerunner of raid on the cs'unty treasury by the republican press of the county.
 These rapers have always contended that ts.e sYplic A1versising required of the county snoosa os- done on the same basis that busiress men do their advertising; it should be given to the paper which would insure the widest publicity and there should be a req sonable rrice paid for it.

ABOUT ADVERTISING ?. The Dollar That Can't
 Be Spent
By Herbert Kaufman

Every dollar spent in advertising is not only seed dollar which grosos e pro6t for the merchant but Is actually retained by him even after he has paid # to the bablisher.
 Advertising creates good soiH worth the cost of the publicity.
 It actually costs nothing. While t ases funds 1t does not ase them ID. It helps the founder of business to grow rich and at the same time keeps his business from not dying when he does.
 t eliminates the be,sogol equation. Itper- petuates confidence in tie store and makes it possible for merchant to OithdrasO from basi- ness without having the profits of the business , acithdraoOn from him. It changes name to an iustitatfon an institution that will surUiOe after the death of its builder.
 It Is really an iasnragce policy which costs nothing-pays premium each year instead of calling for one, and renders it possible to change the entire personnel of business without disturbing its prosperity.
 Advertising renders the business. stronger than the independent of his presence. It .permanentizes systems of merchandising. the track of which is left for others to follow. ~. A business which is rot advertised must rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and personality in business is decreasing factor. The public does not aOant to knoq0 tie man who owns the store-it isn't interested in him, but in his goods When an unadvertised business is sold it is only worth as much as its stock of goods and JGrtares. There is no good will to be paid for-t does not exist-it has not been created. The name over the door meaas noth- ing except to the limited stream of people from the immediate neighborhood, any of whom could tell you more about some store ten miles away which has regularly delivered its shop news to their breakfast tables.
 It is as shorssighted for man to build business which dies qoith his deah or ceases with his inaction as 1t is untair for him not to provide for the continuance of its income to his famity.

Congressman Watson Desires
To Know of Lands, the
Real Cause.
DIDN'T DELIVER DELEGATES

Washington, D. c., Feb. Con
gresham James E. Watson, Whip
of the house, showed up here suddenly
this week. 1t is said that Mr.. Watson,
who is busy running for governor OF
indiana, had things on his mind
when he came rushing back to the ma
tons capital, and that he was not
chiefly concerned with congressional
roll calls.
The story has to do with the Ninth
district of Indiana, where Congress-
man Charles Beary Lands holds forth,
and it is, said that Mr.. Watson is here
to find out why he is not getting all
the Ninth district state delegates.
Congressman G. B. Lands is known
to be lukeWarm towards Watson. IT
has been said in some quarters that
Mr.. Lands is against Mr.. Watson. 1t
is said here that Mr.. Lands Of the
Ninth, will go on the carpet in the
sanction Of Speaker J. G. Cannon,
there to show cause why he should not
be disciplined for derelictiOn of duty
towards Mr.. Watsons candidacy for
governor.
Watson and his friends, it is said,
were keenly chagrined because Of the
showing he made in Fountain and
Howard counties, in the Ninth dis
trict, where w. l.. Taylor and {. w.
Miller surprised the Watson forces by
taking down several delegates. 1t is
said that the Watson clan is trying
to get an understanding with Con
gressman G. p. Lands before other
counties in the Ninth name state dele
gates.
The indications are that certain per
suasive methods have succeeded with
Foster and CLANCY, as Watson IS
starting we'll in their districts. Con

already is in line for Watson, though
he has denied it, The test comes soon
