(WatSOn, AlperS & CO.,)
 Speculation has been narrow and 1r- regular; it does not seem likely that more than professional and confusing movement will occur for some time to come. Yet we feel that those who will take a look beyond temporary phases will realize that there exist several potter factors that must work toward future betterment of values: The re- vival of confidence that capital must experience at the protective decisions recently rendered by the National jul dietary: the prospect that the country and the leaders of the party in power will unite to urge a speedy tariff set clement in Congress. and the dignity and deliberation of the Taft Adm1nls- tration, which lend reasonable aSsur- ance of policies that will be conser- vately built and enforced for the pro- motion of prosperity.

NOVELTY IN BUSINESS
Necessary Feature OF Advertising
For Home Trade.

There are many ways to adver-
tise town, but all Of them require
keeping eternally at it. The world
will believe almost anything if
told it often enough. A story
made familiar has the weight of
authority and accepted belief in its
favor. That is more than half the
battle. Perseverance, public spirit
and printers ink produce progress.
If that is not sufficiently allltera-
tive, add push as another ingred-
lent.
One necessary feature of adver-
Using for home trade and growth
is novelty. There are so many
new things in this age that people
have come to look for the new.
Whatever they may think of new
thought, they at least want sensa-
tions and new entertainment.
This element of novelty in adver-
Using was recently exhibited by
Muscogee, Okla. Muscogee may
be a young town, but is old enough
to have a commercial club and a
get-up and-go spirit that should
carry her far. Recently her COM
mercial club started 100 of the
towns most hustling citizens out
on the road to talk for trade and
progress. Count EN-. One hun
dred!" That is quite bunch of
people for municipality of that
size to rally forth as advance
agents of prosperity. But the
town that is not afraid of doing big
things is the one that is on the
way to becoming big town.
The most novel feature of Mus
cogee's delegation was this badge
pinned to each Of these hundred
men:

3. & 0. PENSIONERS.
Over Five Hundred b. Q 0. Employees
Receive Regular Monthly Allowance.

OF the five hundred and fifty odd
old employees OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad-not exclusive of
the B. & O. S. w. or subsidiary
linesnow on the pension roll for
the regular monthly allowance the
company pays to them during life,
half the number were in active
service forty and more years; one
rounding out full sixty years.
The combined years of service
these veterans put in aggregated
nearly twelve thousand, which was
an average of forty-four and two
thirds years each. A record show
ing of continuous duty with sin
gle corporation. Forty-three of
these pioneers in American rail-
reading are now eighty and more
years of age, thirteen of them hav-
ing passed their eighty-ffth mile
stone; two reaching beyond their
ninety.frst.
Old age provision for faithful
service was inaugurated by the B.
& o. company long in advance of
any other railroad on the Ameri-
can continent and it was the first
railroad company in the world to
establish a pension system on the
basis of itself contributing the en-
tire fund foreign railroad pension
or approximation funds, as they
are termed abroad, calling tor most
of the amount from the III n
through their own contributions.
The earliest corporate movement
of any nature on this side looking
to care for employees was that of
the Baltimore and Ohio way back
in 1914. Its present plan, under
which eligibility for pension is af-
ter twenty years service, has been
in effect for a quarter of century
and there are employees still living
who have been on the pension roll
for upwards of two decades.

A PROFIT ON CONTRABAND
Uncle Sam Makes Money on Goods
Seized for DUTY.

United States Marshal Henkel
held his well-advertised sale OF
struggled gowns at the New York
Custom House Tuesday. From
the prices obtained it would seem
that Uncle Sam had better set up
few more smugglers and go into
the old clothes business on larger
scale. 1t will pay a good profit.
Ladies from Bay Ridge. Seagate,
Harlem, and the Oranges battled
with each other for the privilege
of paying about a quarter more
than each struggled gown was
worth. Now and then one would
capture a real bargain, and the
next offering brought them gaping
about the feet OF the auctioneer.
Then they just shut their eyes,
gritted their teeth and bid blind
folded.
Marshal Henkel is enormously
pleased. The captured trunks OF
the smugglers held 400 fine French
dresses, on which the government
placed valuation of $50, 900. The
indications are that Mr.. Henkel
will realize something more than
$780, 900 at this sale, even after
selling few gowns at cut rates as
leaders.
At one stage of the proceedings
the crowd was bidding upon fine
linen shirtwaist. Voices upon
the floor ran the bids up dollar
at time. Another voice, not tc
be located, bid SI4 and got the
waist.
Name, please" said the auc.
tioneer. The INDICATED voice said
Miss Ulllnan.
Come in and pay for your
waist"
Please, sir, " said the voice, Il
can't. I m in the window"
Everyone turned to find that the
enterprising Miss Ullman had
climbed step-ladder in the CORR,
dor outside and thrust her head
and shoulders through one of the
transom windows between the cor.
ridor and salesroom. She blinked
brightly at the audience, surprised
by her sudden prominence. The
auctioneer protested himself stump
ed.
Send man out with my waist
and III pay him, said the capable
Miss Ullman. And the sale went on.

That transformation has not been
accidental. 1t did not come of it.
self. 1t did not fall as mamma
from the skies or arrive as a mat
terof course. Like everything in this
world worth having, it was plan
ned for, worked for, fought for. 1t
started by people in Los Angeles
believing in Los Angeles. They
united to spread their belief
throughout the world. In prin-
ter's ink they found a messenger
swifter and more potent than Mer-
curry. By keeping this sleepless
messenger busy throughout the
years the miracle has been wrought
and the end is not yet. The ad-
vertising has only begun to do its
work. In the development of the
new and greater Pacific civiliza-
ton, Los Angeles has before her
future that it would be idle to
attempt to prophesy. America
has not begun to grow, and any
American town has before her a
like opportunity if she but seizes
and makes the best of it. 1t may
not be as great an opportunity as
that of Los Angeles, but if SO it
differs only in degree, not in kind.
A tale similar to that of "the
City of Angels" could be told of
Spokane, Seattle and other rapidly
growing towns of the Pacific coast.
Yet the epic of progress is by no
means confined to the west. One
of its most thrilling recounts the
manner in which Louisville, Ky,
was changed from a city of fac
tionol fights and feuds that gained
her bad name abroad to one uni
ted for home trade and upbuilding.
As in the case of Muscogee, the
change was wrought largely by a
merCial club. Because of its
intelligent work strangers are no
longer advised to shun Louisville,
but the impression is going abroad
that she is city with a future in
which it is we'll to locate.
The same song is heard on the
Atlantic coast. Boston, Provi-
dence and even New York are or
ganizing publicity campaigns in
behalf of larger trade. All of this
bears out the verdict of the NUM-
cipal Journal, which puts it thus:
1T has become a more or less
universal opinion in most sections
OF the country that any city that
does not make some active effort
at direct advertisement is dead and
sure to fall behind the time"

Another way in which MusCo-
gee showed that she is alive was
by reviving river transportation.
Though she has three navigable
streams, the railroads maneuver-
ed to get all the trade and to shut
off water commerce. Then the
merchants got into the game, the
railroads after having killed the
boat trade showing a disposition
to raise rates. The same CONNER
cial club already mentioned bought
a boat three years ago and began
navigating it at a profit. Two
years later another boat was built
and it, too, is more than paying
its way. Thus rates have not only
been lowered, but the town has
been enabled to advertise its water
routes as an induCement to manu-
facturers to locate in its midst.
An example of what may be
done for city by judicious, plen.
t.sul and persistent advertising is
s4own by Los Angeles. In the
memory Of those now living she
was little Mexican town of 10, ooc
without life, business or prospects.
In those sleepy days she had the
same delightful climate as now
The only trouble was that nobody
knew of its charms. Now all the
world knows them.
The story of the campaign o.
publicity by which this fame has
been carried abroad is also the
story that tells how Los Angeles
has grown into a beautiful and
thriving city of 800, 900 people
