The fact that judicious and en-
tensiye advertising is the real founda-
tion of successful business, is recalled
TO mind by the recent death of An
drew Pears, great-grandson of the
original Andrew who 40 years ago
founded the soap business which
carried his name all over the world.
Early in the history of the soap
firm it was resolved to make adver-
Using as attractive as possible, and
this principal was developed until the
firm began to call in the services of
the most renowned painters. One of
the greatest successes in this direc-
ton was the purchasing of Sir John
Millais's picture of his little fair-hair-
ed nephew in a green velvet suit
blowing soap bubbles. For this s1100
was paid.
The picture of the baby in the
bath was a failure at first. 1t bore
the inscription, "A Knight of the
Bath" but when it was renamed:
He Won't Be Happy Till He Gets
It." its success was almost instan-
taneoHs.
Since starting business the Pears
have spent over $15, 100000 in adyer-
Using which fully accounts for the
enormous dividends the business is
paying.

CLEVELAND CRIME Wits
MEATH golden RULE"


CLEVELAND. March 3.-The So
called Golden Rule" policy inaugu-
rated here by Chief of Police Kohler
a year ago, with a view TO minimiz-
ing the numer of arrests, continues
to attract the attention of police au-
thorities in this country and Europe.
Inquiries concerning the plan have
been received from nearly all sections
of the civilized world, Chief Kohler.
discussing the subject today said:
The common sense or so called
Golden Rule policy has obtained re-
suits beyond all expectations. and the
effect for good has been so great that
the old and general custom of max
ing arrests will soon be-and should
in my Judgment thing of the past.
THE total number of arrests for
the year 1907 was 30,41S. under the
old custom. For 1908 the total
arrests were 10,085. under the Cold
en- Rule policy, decrease of sc per
cent. There was less crime and less
property stolen in Cleveland in 1908
than during the previous year.
Members of the department now have
more time for the prevention of
crime. and the apprehension of more
serious offenders.
First and minor offenders are not
given prison records, disgraced and
Inundated, but are allowed to go &c
their work without being detained
in prison and thus the necessities OF
life are not taken from their families
About the only complaint we receive
against this common sense policy
comes from the police court at

from unfortunates.

quite in contrast with this little
volume was the one used in admins
tering the oath to Mr.. Mckinley.
The negro bishops joined together
and presented to Mr.. Mckinley one
of the biggest books l have ever seen.
Ii was an extraordinarily large fami-
~ bible, bound in heavy morocco,
trimed in gold and stored in a much
ornamented box. / remember very
well that / was quite tagged out
from carrying it to the senate cham
Der and from that chamber to the
platform in front of the capitol.
After the bible had been used for this
purpose | turned it over to the presi-
dent, but Notwithstanding he had al
ready received it, the donors after
wards called at the White House and
presented it with formal speeches, TO
which Mr.. Mckinley made APP
propriate reply.
President Roosevelt was sworn
in on a bible which had been used for
the same purpose when he was in
augurated governor of New York.
We had bought a bible for his in
auguration when we received word
from Mrs. Roosevelt that she pre-
ferred the use of their own volume.
and il was accordingly substituted.
I'VE still have on hand the Bible
bought for that occasion, but we
shall not use it for Mr.. Taft. Unless
he furnishes a book himself, we will
get a new one and will keep the
Roosevelt bible on hand for en-
ergencies, such for instance, as oc-
urred when Arthur took the oath of
Office in this city. He had been
sworn in New York. but it was sud
denly decided that it would be safer
to again administer the oath in
Washington. Accordingly Chief
Justice Waite and about twenty
other people of prominence were
called very suddenly together in the
vice presidents room at the capital.

few present when Garfield's successor
was initiated into his high Office.
I'VE now make it a point to have
an available book on hand at all

Roosevelt bible for that purpose.

paying.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 3
That the incoming president always
takes the oath of Office on a Bible
and that the chief justice of the Uni
ted States administers the oath is
generally known, but where the
Bible comes from is fact concerning
which the public knows much less.
The one who is able to give more in
formation on this subject than any
other is James II. Mckinney, clerk
of the supreme court, who is the man
who always has the sacred book at
the right place at the right time, and
in whose hands, strange to say, it al
ways so opens that the august per-
sonage who is about to pledge his
fidelity TO the constitution and the
best interests of the people of the
United States, finds his palm resting
upon some passage which Is an
augury of good for all concerned.
The purchase of the book is one of
the 'perquisites" of the clerk.
No" said Mr.. Mckinney, in res
ponse TO a question; mo-" We do not
use our century old Bible for the
swearing in of presidents, but 1t often
happens that the clerk supplies a
new book for the occasion. 1t is the
intention that the man who takes
the oath of Office should have the
volume as a keepsake, and it gen.
orally transpires that his family, IL
not himself, set much store by it.
Not always, however, nor even in a
majority of cases, are We called
upon to supply a new book, for Ii
frequently happens that the presi-
dent or some member of his family
is the owner of some treasured vol
i ume of the Scriptures, which 1t is
1 desired that he should use upon this
sacred and important occasion.
This was the case when Mr.
Cleveland was inaugurated. He was
the owner of small bible, not
larger than your hand, and which
apparently had seen much usage
His mother had presented 1t to hin
when he was boy, and he haC
treasured il ever since. When hi
was consulted about taking the oath
when first inaugurated as president
he desired his mothers presen
should be used for this purpose
When the oath was administered Il

administration, the same volume
