SEEING THE TRUTH.

As the years pass, they carry with
them much Of the prejudice and Sec
tional bitterness engendered by the
war between the States. Time has re-
moved many Of the scales from the
eyes of the people of the North, and
they are beginning to see the truth
Confidence is a plant of slow growth,
we are told. and II is also true that
tality. There were many actors and
many events connected with the great
war that are now viewed in a differ
ent light from that which was shed
on them forty or more years ago.
Among the men of Lincoln's govern
ment who have been held in almost
universal execration in the South,
there was probably mott one who has
been regarded with more detestatIon
than Edwin NJ. Stanton, but in the
North he has long been held up as one
of the greatest men and patriots of the
age. He was spoken of generally as
1.-The Great War Secretary" and his
acts extolled as the height of patriotic
craftsmanship. But even in the North
he is coming to be regarded and spoken
of as he deserves. One of the notable
examples OF this clearer sight is in the
person of Harry Thurston Peck, editor
OF The Bookman, who recently said:
They 1.-THE facts presented may serve

difficulty that any of the lettering was
dseiphered. Thirty-five coins were
found in the. cornerstone, as follows:
Of the coinage 1903, 1911, 1899. 1924,
1925, 1897; four 10 cent pieces Of 1891
two OF 1893, four of 1927, one OF 1906,

coins Lire-1S11, with profile of Ma

isos to 1867 A gold ring was also
found in the stone.
The building In which this copner.
stone is laid. was erected in 1895. The
discrepancy in the date on the stone
1Sss-and the real time OF the erection
OF the lodge room Is owing to the fact
that the stone was laid on February
where the present postoface building
stands, but the mem ers decided not
to build there and two years afterward
-lS3b-made arrangements for the
building OF the present lodge room.

a coNvENT1oNAL FIGURE.

The Dothan Eagle is cross because
the artists on big newspapers persist
in presenting the farmer as a man
with tattered straw hat. suspenders
showing. his pants tuck ed in cow-hide
boots and tuft of whiskers growing
from HIS chin. The Eagle says no man
ever saw a farmer looking like that
and nobody ever did. Let the artists
alone. They know no better and they
do not seem to care to do any better.
The artist is following the old rut
and saving wear and tear on his gray
matter. He can take the ideal of the
farmer conceived by some artist Of
half century ago and keep on pre-
senting II over and over again. OF
course the artist never knew such a
man. But 1t is the conventional fig
ure. The farmer in newspaper pic
lures belongs side by side with the
stage Dutchman with the pillow front,
and the stage Irishman, with the red
head. Nobody ever saw an Irishman
or a Dutchman that looked like the
pair, but they are the conventional FIG.
ures and the actor. like the artist,
trains along behind the conventions.
AS a matter of fact. there is slight
difference in appearance between the
well-to-do business man of the city and
the well-to-do farmer. The newspaper
artists win come to recognize this, but
1t will take time.

ADVERTISING AS A BUSINESS.

The remarkable development Of ad-
vertising as a business In which huge
sums are invested and which commands
the services Of some OF the brightest
men in the country. was indicated by
the recent banquet in Philadelphia OF
the N. w. Aver & Son Advertising
Agency, at which $50 employees OF the
company sat down to the table with
an equal number OF guests. The
founder Of the company could not have
appreciated. when he began. in 1887,
the vast possibilities of a business
which previously had slight recogni-
tion.
Fifty years ago. the newspaper world
knew nothing of advertising as it IL
understood today. The amount an
nually paid by one department store In
New York city today would probably
pay the running expenses for one year
OF any paper OF the city OF half a CEN
fury ago. There had been advertising
agencies before N. W. Aver started out
on a capital of $3.50. but the develop
unent OF the business was to come in
the years that followed. Display adj
yertisements in ante-belIum papers
were the exception rather than the
rules. II a publisher in those days had
been approached by a merchant asking
for fuil-page he would probably have
considered the man crazy.
N. w. Aver carried an idea in his
work of building up an advertising
agency. His conception of an adver-
Using agent was "one who creates, de-
velopes, distributes and cares for ad-
vertising other than his own" The
idea now plays an important part in
the commercial life of America. The
Aver agency developed the folly of a
belief that prevailed to a certain ex-
tent, and that was that advertising was
for something freakIsh. something out
of the ordinary. The Aver agency has
! devoted itself almost exclusively to ad-
vertising staples.
An idea OF the remarkable develop
ment OF the company's business is to
be gained from the fact that this
agency, in forty years. has paid to
newspapers OF America the sum of
S50,o00,000. 1t now has over $4,000
open accounts with American publish
ers.

for example. is sturdy opposed to the
proposition looking to the change Of
Inauguration day from the 4th Of
March to a later and more temperate
period of the year. 1T is. of courses
depiorable. 1t says, shat there should
have been hundred and sixteen
deaths in Washington in March from
pneumonia. mostly contracted on In
auguration day. But that is no reason
for establishing longer interval be-
tween election day and Inauguration
day than now exists. Instead Of push
ing the Inauguration forward. IL should
be set backward. IL the election is to
be held In November. The first day Of
January Is none too soon for the new
President to assume the once. II the
interests OF the country are to be made
paramount. this is what should be
done. even II the Inauguration pomp
and display are wiped out"
Apparently. the deaths of more than
one hundred people. due directly or
indirectly to the fearful weather Of
last Inauguration day. is not as de
plorable" in the estimation of The
Standard, as would the advancement
of inauguration day to later season.
while 1t may be true that the 4th Of
last March was an unusually Indictment
day. and while II may also be true
that any other set day might, in some
years, be inclement. 1t is fact that
the hrst days OF March are not likely
to be at all pleasant in any year in
Washington.
II seems to US that about the main
arguments against changing the date
for the Inauguration are based on sen.
timental grounds. The 4th day Of
March has 50 long been the date on
which the President Is inaugurated
that there are those who seem to think
1t would be rank treason to inaugurate
a President on any other day. AS to
setting 1t back to January 1, that
really seems like an effort to make
matters worse We suppose The
Standard will hardly claim that they
are more likely to have pretty weather
on that day than two months later.
The fact that President has to wait
four months after his election before
he can take charge OF the ONCE is no
great hardship. 1t is true. as our con-
temporary states. that all the pomp
and ceremony might be cut out without
any great harm being done. The new
NEGLECTED President might go to the
Capitol and be sworn in and be just
as truly the President as he is when
the whole country turns out to wit
ness a gorgeous. pageant in connec-
ton with his induction into the high
once, but our people are fond of a
great show, and this gives them a
chance to enjoy one when the weather
permits. The advancement of the time
two months would not hurt the country
or the ONCE.
