THE CHURCHES TO ADVERTISE.

Will wonders never cease? Or isn't itoa wonder at all that the Christian religion in this year of grace 1909 is preparing to advertise itself on an ex- tensive scale, but merely the happen ing of the inevitable? It is authorita- lively announced that the combined protestant churches of this country will in January next enter upon a campaign of advertising the social. ra- cial. economic and religious problems that are deemed by the religionists to imperil American life and American institutions. and that for this purpose the regular newspapers. magazines. periodicals and books will be employed just as they are now for commercial advertising, the poster. the billboard. the electric sign and the Iowly "dodg- err not being forgotten, either; this exploitation win be under the direction of a religious council, presumably non- sectarian, representing a direct mem bership of about eighteen million men and women and a constituency of more than forty millions, or nearly half of the population of the United States; the material thus to be given the widest possible publicity will be addressed to the public at large. and topics such as the labor question. the negro question, conditions of urban and country life. means of moral up lift and so forth will be discussed in the advertisements from churches point of view. It is an axiom in the advertising world that no good thing" will push itself-that it has to be pushed through bought -paid-for publicity; and it is quite as important as it is novel and interesting that the promoters of religion have woke up to the fact. And it might with propriety be said in passing that the improve ment in American morals likely to fol- low this bit of religious enterprise will be worth much more money to the world at large than the turning away of hundred heather a year from their idols

SOME GOOD ADVICE

The Oklahoma City Times points moral and adorns an interesting tale in some vigorous comments on the career of B. F. Yoakum, who has re- gently acquired control of the Katy system and thus become the head or the three principal lines traVerslng Oklahoma. The gist of the comment is contained in the advice to all am bilious young men to foakumlze themselves by following the example of thrift. energy, honesty and eff ciency which has brought this rail- road manager such remarkable sue cess.
 Mir. Yoakum was born in poverty. He was even born in Texas, and In sparsely settled portion of the Lone Star state at that He earned almost his first money selling fruit trees, travelling in a rented blackboard all over the more promising sections or that expansive commonwealth. To- day he is one of the great railroad magnates of the country, a living refutation of the pessimistic cant that all the big opportunities in America have been "gobbled up'' by the tariff barons." the financial octopi and the indicators of great wealth. The secret of his success. just as it has been the secret of every other career like his, was that he outgrew his successive ventures. He sold so many trees that he became too big for the tree business. Scores of similar ex- amples could be cited. Only the other day former pack peddler died almost millionaire. one of the great est merchants in Kansas and the lead ing spirit in the first development of Excelsior Springs.
 If more young men would buckle down steadily to business, instead of watching the clock and envying the prosperity of the boss, they would stand a much better chance of becom- ing railway magnates. merchant princes or captains of industry. Let them Yoakumize and Hartman and Ettensonize themselves and they will find that success in greater or less degree has been calling for them all the time At least. they will fail while trying, instead of failing to try. and will have the comforting con sciousness that they did their best Kansas City Journal.

BILLS BOY

Jake Leach was an all but illiterate near genius in the completely finished town of Charlottesville, Ten. A lawyer by profession, he had the rare gift of eloquence, combined with wonderful shrewdness and that instinctive sixth sense that teaches some men how to sway other men.
 A young man in that community, several years ago, was accused of murder. Jake heard of it, and was informed that he would be expected to defend the youth in court. If Jake exerted himself to ascertain the de- tails of evidence in the case. nobody saw him do it, and there were those who murmured that the old man was taking only a slight and perfunctory interest in the welfare of an old com rade's son. The old man seemed to be doing more sitting around and dreaming than anything else.
 But the day of the trial came. Few of the laws delays had intervened; for the young man was poor. Toward the close of the trial day, during which the old man had listened but apparent ly had not taken a deep interest in technicalities and fine law points. the time came for Jake to speak. He rose deliberately. eyes half-closed as if in a reminiscent mood, and began slowly

A LESSON FOR LOAN SHARKS

The conviction and sentence by a Connecticut court of d woman em- ployed as an agent by a Chicago money lender has been rather widely commented upon. Without exception, so far as we have seen the comment ators approve both the conviction and sentence. The defendant was charg- ed with the violation of two statutes -one making it illegal to charge more than 15 per cent a year for a loan. and the other making it an offense to accept a note for an amount great er than the sum actually loaned. Upon conviction she was fined s6,000 and sentenced to sixty days imprison- ment. The case has been appealed. but those who believe that such an example is urgently needed, may be permitted to indulge in the hope that the appellate court will find the rec ord free from reversible error The only unsatisfactory feature of the proceeding, as we understand it, was the fact that the principal escaped punishment. The agent, in spite of her sex, is scarce deserving of sym pathy.-New Orleans Times-Demo- crat.

Mir. Taft's Attitude.

Says the democratic Globe Silver Belt:
 Thick headed Arizona editors of the democratic persuasion are inclin- ed to criticise President Taft for ad- vising that Arizona adopt a sane constitution. Such advice is evidence that Mir Taft is anxious to see Ari- zona admitted to the union and has a desire not to see the people unwit- tingly erect barriers"
 There has been no occasion for any body to misunderstood Mir. Tafts po- sition on the question of statehood. Mir. Taft simply said, in substance: "I am for you, and will help you all can; but I cannot promise that you will get in. for there is another branch of the government which must be reckoned with. It will improve your chances with congress if it is known that you are level headed. And when, the door is opened for you to come in, please. for your own future welfare, see to it that you come in with a simple constitution which will commend itself to sensible people Don't allow visionaries and cranks to tie your hands in the constitution so that you cannot legislate for your selves as you see fit in future years. It is exceedingly difficult to amend constitution"
 No good friend of statehood, nor any good friend of Arizona can find anything objectionable in anything that MT. Taft said to the people Of this territory.

 The review of the evidence was not necessary, however. Already the jury men were half standing in their places. tears running down their cheeks and murmured protests on their lips against hanging Bills boy. And the jury acquitted him unanimously with out-dare we believe?-giving due con- sideration even to the strong probabil- ity of innocence that the evidence ac- tually brought out.-Strickland Gillian.

The death of State Senator Me Carren gives Tammany the opportun- ity it has long looked for-to get control of Brooklyn, as well as New York city. Long Pat" was the un- disputed boss of the Brooklyn democ- racy and he bitterly and successfully opposed all proposals to divide power with Tammany in his stronghold.

ANIMALS KNOW WHEN EARTH
 QUAKE IS COMING.

Animals predict earthquakes. Do- mestic animals seem to be especially susceptible to the approach of the quake In 1925, in Chile, every dog fled from the city before the inhabi- tants perceived the faintest hint of the impeding catastrophe. In 1867, in Java, immediately before the earth quake. every rooster crowed shrilly and left the doomed town. In 1868 in the city of Iquique, the terrific dis aster was announced many hours be- forehand by great swarms of scream ing gulls and other sea birds which flew inland. On the Orinoco, croc- odiles invariably leave the river on the imminence of earthquake.
 Five days before the earthquake that destroyed Elike, in 373, B. C., is said to have driven to the surface of the earth mice, moles, weasels and serpents that nest underground. Be fore the Sicilian earthquake of 17S3, animals came to the surface as well as various creatures of the sea, es- pecially fish in stupendous numbers. among them also such as are found only in the greatest depths of the water. The unrest of the animals also heralded the coming of the re- cent Sicily and Calabria seismic dis asters.
 The basis of this remarkable in stinct of animals, reptiles. birds and fish is held by many observers to be responsible for their early perception. Others attribute to these creatures an unknown sixth sense, .n its ways as enigmatic as the sense of locality in many animals. Others say it is the sense of hearing or their sensibility to agitation that enables animals to notice the effect O. the occurrences in the interior of the earth long before mankind with coarser senses can per ceive it.
 But in this case has arisen the objection that the delicacy of the animal senses exceeds that of the finest seismographic apparatus. The animals can foretell earthquakes with a probability that approaches certain ty and we by no means have satis factorily explained their superiority to mankind in this regard.

A New Record

new record in the history of Arizona the fact is of public interest.
 The issue comprised 26 pages The high water mark previously for this territory was 22 pages, record also made by The Republican, on May 2s, 1909. The 26-page issue of yesterday was, of course. made necessary by the pressure of advertising upon our col umns. And this pressure was simply from natural business conditions.
 In yesterdays Republican there were 1907 inches of advertising.
 It is worth while. in taking notice of this record. to mention the reasons which bring this business to The Re publican, for yesterdays showing is part of a continuous record. This paper regularly carries more advertis- ing than any other paper in the world that is published in any city similar to Phoenix in size.
 What are the reasons which make The Republican such a favorite with advertisers, both local and foreign?
 First and foremost, of course, is the fact that advertising in this paper brings results"
 And the results come because of the papers circulation, and especially the quality of circulation.
 The quality of a papers circulation is always the first thing investigated by shrewd advertisers.
 The Republican has the most loyal clientele of readers. Few papers in the United States have the same standing with their readers. When such
  Washington Star, the Chicago News, the Kansas City Star and the Los Angeles Times are mentioned wita The Republican in this regard, the list is about complete. The readerp of The Republican are the intelligent people of Arizona. They like the paper and they do not have to be hectored and pestered and chased and hog tied" in order to get them sc take it. And the people who take it read it Moreover. they take it right along It is not d constant strug- gle to keep them on the subscription lists Besides-and- is a point which advertisers have been careful not to overlook-the readers of The Republican are people who have the money with which to buy things.
 It is not cheap paper.
 And notwithstanding this. the cir culation of The Republican greatly exceeds the circulation of any other paper in Arizona.
 And it's circulation is steadily growing. Since the new owners took charge, less than two months ago, 541 new subscribers have been added in Phoenix and immediate vicinity alone; and this without special ef fort on the part of the management. This fact of itself is a remarkable record, when it is remembered that it had appeared previously that near ly all our people of means to enable them to take a paper of this class were taking it already.
 There are other reasons, also, why The Republican is popular with ad- yertisers. All local advertisers pay the same rate. Foreign advertisers pay the same rate. There are no rebates, no concessions. Advertising is accepted on a purely business basis Everybody is treated fairly, and all are treated alike.
 Its news and opinions are never colored for any purpose, nor are they for sale.
 And, of course. the gratifying growth of The Republican is one of the best proofs that Phoenix and the

COERCION OF LABOR

Not very long ago Il milliona ire gam

control of important manufacturing
plants astOunded the business world by
closing down and throwing thousands of
employees out of work in prosperous
times
When this stock manipulation got
ready he opened his plants again. Mar
ket conditions had absolutely nothing
to do with the temporary idleness he
forced on his men. He was gambling
on the speculative chess board and the
pay rolls of his employees were his chief
pawns.
1t is not surprising that employees of
steel manufacturing plants are again
apprehensive. They know by expe-
rience that they are at the mercy of
trust manipulators. Steel trust officials
deny that there will he any present cut
in wages. But their denial does not
