AN OLD STORY EVER NEW.

The old controversy as to the actual authorship of the so-called works of Shakespeare never seems to wear out. For years and years 1t has been raging. No sooner is one theory exploded than another one crops out and always the people apparently believe finally that it must have been Shakespeare, after all, who wrote the plays and poems, and that if 1t were not Shakespeare it could not have been Francis Bacon, anyway.
 Golfers of recent date carried 8 most interesting and mildly instructive ar ticle on the subject. seeking to fasten responsibility for ths works on Bacon, and the attempt to set up the conteu- tion was made through the alleged dis covery of hidden cipher--by far the most popular means employed in the past. This new cipher possesses the merit of being extremely mysterious and hard to untangle. Try as one will to follow the instructions laid down, 1t is hard to reach the conclusions indi- cated. A Connecticut cont,niporary gave it up after three or four days of careful consideration, managing to get the right answers in only about 50 per cent of the examples submitted for in- spection. The New York Sun takes it in hand and manages to prove that Sir Francis Bacon was not the man who wrote shakespeare's plays by the au- thority of the new cipher, but that Theodore Roosevelt undoubtedly ground them outi
 The real truth appears to us to be that while the authorship of the works may be in doubt 1t is pretty safe to assume that Shakespeare was the guilty man, in the light of all the evidence obtainable, if he has ever been indis- putably connected with them. The great objection to crediting Shakes peare with the works is because he was such a quiet, unosts ntatious man, with habits very much of tha ordinary kind, apparently. That man could be that sort and still produced those wonderful things, seems inconceivable in the ordi- nary mind. Surely the author of Ham let' must have been some varisty of freak or an eccectric person, How could a man sound the great depths of human nature 30 unerringly as Shakespeare did and still be tho Shakespeare history has taught us to know personality That must be the eternal question that keeps the Shakespeare wrangle always going and yet never getting anywhere.
 The last cipher will in all probability go the way of all the others. Men will read it and some will wonder. But it will be forgotten in day or so, and Shakespeare will still bs Shakespeare.

Des Moines are conducting systematic advertising campaigns.
 These cities have found out what the merchant and manufacturer found out long ago. Having good article for sale is only start. The people must be made aware that you have it, and that 1t is good, or your buyers will be linn tied to those who just happen to pass your shop window. So the merchant and manufacturer advertise, and regard 1t as an investment netting large re- turns.
 The store that doesn't advertise grows cobwebs over Its door.
 The town that doesn't advertise stands good show of accommodating a similar crop.
 When the hustling cities of the coun- try are engaged in widespread cam paigns to advertise their advantages and thereby to tempt new capital and new residents, those cities that do not advertise are allowing custom to go by their doors to the thronged doors of the cities that do advertise.

DEcADENr NATION NO LONGER
Italy Again Rising Up and Taking a
 Place In the World.

From the Florida Times Union.
 Two thousand years ago Latins were masters of the world. Their success was their undoing. In Italy they be came effeminated by luxury or by sup erstition and oppression, and the race deteriorated, or were supposed to have deter.oriated until the Latins with the possible exception of the French, were considered physically inferior to the northern races. All this is now changed. In athletic sports the French and Ital ians will average the best. In tests of strength, agility, endurance and physi cal skill, the French and Italians arg at the front. The revolution over 100 years ago changed the types of French men. Effeminacy gave place to vigor. The French of the present century are larger and stronger than their ances tors. A change somewhat similar in its results to the French revolution, though without its attendant horrors, came over Italy during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The people were freed from outside control and from in ternal dsspotism, and to great extent the masses emerged from superstition. Italy became strong constitutional government instead of number of petty states oppressed by degenerate rulers. The change is showing in the physical stamina of the race, and Ital ians are now taking their places among the most vigorous of the earth's popula- tion.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
As Developed During the Course of Tar
 iii Debate.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch. Of 172 democrats in the house, 10. have spoken or voted for high protsc ton in the interests of some small clas, in their home districts. Such actior being manifestly out of tune with tht spirit of their party doctrines and party platforms, their adversaries have prod ded them into attempts to explain it Their defenses have taken various lines the most common of which may te SC, down thus:
 l. That this will be protection country for tho next few years, and that democrats should have their faiI share of the swag.
 2. That the particular tax which they favor, unlike similar taxes eman. ating from republicans, will lay no bur. den upon the consumer.
 3. That the particular tax which they favor, unlike similar taxes which they have mathematical as "robber protection" is purely revenue tax.
 1. That, though their last party plat form seemed to declare specifically against the particular tax which they favor, it really did not mean that, but something elsa.
 The struggle of democratic represent atives against the charge of apostasy had hitherto rested on propositions about like these. But the senate debate on Wednesday carried the lines much farther forward. The Payne bill had cut the Dingley rate on lumber from $2 to sl thousand feet, keeping certain grades on the dutiable list at all only through tho insisitence of democrats from lumber districts. Senator Sim mons, of North Carolina, member of the committee which reported the plat form resolutions at tha last democratic convention, demands that the tariff on lumber be put back to $2. The debate thus precipitated elicited two brand new hypotheses from democratic sena- tors:
 5. That platform prepared 'by & few western men" has no right to single out certain tax and expect to bind democrats to oppose it.
 6. That platforms are written and brought in at night, when everybody Is tired, and nobody cares anything about them.
 This last thought emanated from Sen ator Bacon, of Georgia. It seems to leave down all the bars.

CITIES AS ADVERTISERS
Municipalities Following Example Sc
 by Enterprising Merchants

From the Duluth Herald.
 Not only private business, but the business of making cities, finds profit in advertising.
 If manufacturer produces something that he knows tho people need, he does n't sit back and wait for the people to find out that heshas made it. He adver. tises 1t broadcast, and the more he advertises, providing his article is good and his advertising judiciously done, the larger his returns.
 It's exactly the same way with city which has many advantages. Its peo. pie know that 1t is good place for the investment of capital and for selection as home, but people in other places don't know 1t unless the city advertises tho facts.
 For instance, Pawtucket, R. l., puts an advertising device on every piece of first class mail that goes out of it's post-oficc.
 Greensboro, N. O., provides an enveI- ope with patent opener marked Pull for Greensboro The Springfield, Mass, board of trade has awarded a prize of $500 for plan for tha press agenting of the city which involves the expenditure of $25,o0o a year.
 Knoxville, Tonn., has commercial club which will spend $10,o0o this year advertising the opportunities of that city in the newspapers and periodicals of the north as well as of the south. Last year Spokane, Wash. spent $60,. 900 in advertising, and this year 1t will use as much in the same way. Spo- kane han developed system of -adver. Using the city that has produced large results. East Providence, R. l., found that 1t was slipping backward little and that West Providence was out stripping it. So East Providence offered a teny year exemption of manufacturers from taxation, and is advertising it widely. San Francisco, New Haven, New Orleans, Shreveport, Memphis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City and

BONI LOSES AGAIN.
Children Will Remain in Custody of
Nheir Mother.

Paris. May 19-M. Seligman, a repre-

presented his conclusions in the Castel-
lane-Sagan suit today in favor of the
defendant. On Dec. 80 of last year the
French court handed down a decision
that the three sons of Count BOni de
Castellane remain in the custody Of
their mother, the present Princess de
Sagan. The count, however, appealed
from this decision in May of this year,
and this appeal has since been argued.
NJ Seligman said the evidence sub
mitted showed that the conduct of the
Princess de Sagan had been irreprOach-
able before her marriage, and that She
had since remained a good mother and
wife Consequently, he recommended
that this court confirm the decision Of
the lower court giving her the custody
of the children. The formal decision
will be rendered May %.
