high and lofty tone in it's editorials
against grafton one page and on
another printed a fake medical adj

but knowing the attitude of the

that all advertising is "ethically

rub it in to the newspaper men and
advertisers present by saying that
the socialist was right. One of the
pencil pushers offered a suggestion
that the Edoctor :be thrown out of

advertised has actual merit. is fool
ish as well.
Advertising good thing is ethic-
ally and every other way right.
Webster says advertising is to give
public notice; to announce public
w." BY that token John the Bap-
fist called men to repentance and
advertised. Paul at Athens got pre-
ferred position in the Acropolis and
announced publicly" a good thing
that is more in demand today than
it was nineteen hundred years ago.
AS there were no newspapers in
those days, Paul wrote letters to be
read in the churches and elsewhere,
and today these letters are printed
by the million and circulated in ev-
cry known language under the sun.
And coming down to the present
day, the things that are persistently
advertised year after year are the
things that have known merit and
are standard Of their kind.
Cut out all advertising, and in
stead of twelve newspapers trying to
help along as many communities in
Redwood county, there would be
poor picking for even one strug-
Cling sheet.
With a ban on advertising nine
tenths of the best current thought
and literature of today, now obtain
able at a cheap rate in the maya
zines and quarterlies, would only
be read by the wealthy classes.
But why multiply instances, all
cient and modern, in this advertis-
ing age ? Advertising is a part of
our civilization, and the man who
masters it's principles is a made man.
AS to doctors advertising we speak
with some diffidence, bat we some
times wonder why doctors keep
silent so far as the public prints are
concerned when quackery is ramp
ant. Unless on the theory that if
the quacks get the public coming
and dope them into invalidism the
doctor and the undertaken will catch
them out at the home plate.
To do justice to an honorable pro-
fession, not a few medical writers
are using the popular magazines tC
educate people into sane and simple
ideas about exercise, sleep and diet
and the principles of getting anc
keeping in health. If they woulc
advertise more in that way they
would increase their power for gooc
more practically than by keeping
their knowledge secret or frownins
on advertising as unethical.
Let your light shine
