How to Test a Newspaper

A single newspaper advertisement, standing
alone cannot perhaps be said to possess within itself
the quality of persstency of pertinacity. 1t can,
however, form part of and bear plan which
business house has adhered to strictly for years.
The trade mark, name of house which is
reproduced in newspaper publicity in individual
characteristic style, indicates that each adver-
tisement containing it is one of a series that
the of advertising space is established policy

public as by advertising prudenty and bersistenty
In the newspapers.
Confidence is plant of slow growth, but per-
sistercy is its sun, rain and fertilizer.
When the late Frank Cooper, of Segel,
Cooper q Co., running store in Peoria and
needed $4,000 he did not go to the bank for it. He
frankly told the people that he wanted to raise this
amount of money and got it by offering them in
ducements for immediate purchases.
Persistency in advertiser is necessary to
establish such reputation with the people that he
command cooperation like this.
An advertiser establishes his character with

In preparing newspaper advertisement,

Says That Gambling Dens and Other
Wicked Places in the City
Should be Wiped Out
of Existence.

A petition was filed yesterday with
the city clerk, asking the city council
to see that the principals of Abraham
Lincoln are carried out in Keokuk
and that all citizens are made free.
The petition was filed by w. B. Collins
who calls attention to the council that
there are numerous places in the city
which should be wiped out of existence
including gambling houses, lawless sa
looms and low down dives.
The petition states that the mayor
and police force do not perform their
duties in suppressing these places and
asks that the city council take the mat
ter up and enforce the ordinances and
the laws.
The petition in full is as follows:

Your petitioner, a resident citizen

"All men are free and equal, and have
certain alienable rights among which
are those of enjoying and defending

protecting property and pursuing and
obtaining safety and happiness.
Abraham Lincoln never stated a
greater truism, than that government
divided against itself cannot stand,
we must all be free or slave" We here
in this city are divided; some are free
and some are slave. plead with you
to make all free, and it is within your
power to make it so; you are the gov
erning power.
Section PIT Of the revised ordi
nances, enacted into law by your hon
orable body, provides the mayor shall
be chief executive officer of the city
and shall take care that the criminal
laws of the state and the ordinances
are duly respected, observed and en-
forced within the city limits.
! The mayor and police officers do not
perform their respective duties in en-
forcing the laws of the state and the
ordinances of the city.
There are bawdy houses. gambling

our lives, liberties, property and hap
piness. We cannot afford to have
privileged class among us, all must b.
treated alike. The public welfare de
mands that you abate the bawd.

William stifler, aged 1S OF LaRue,
who has ben held for several weeks
at the county Jail on charge Of as
sault and battery, preferred by Ed

wordy argument. Virden had Stiffler
arrested after a fist fight in which he
was worsted and the justice OF the
peace bound Stifler over to the grand
jury. The marshal at LaRue brought
the lad to Marion handcuffed like 4
desperate criminal and led him mp
from the Union station with the man

"ADAM GOD"
IS ON TRIAL
Leader of a Peculiar Sect of
Rovers Faces Court on
Murder Charge

Kansas City rs, May 2S-An un
usual spectacle was presented in the
criminal court here yesterday when
James Sharp, known as Adam God"
and his wife Melissa, who was
known as Eve God, to their band
of rowing evangeists, went on the
witness stand Sharp is on trial
charged with the murder of a police
man in religious riot here few
months ago. The woman is yet to
be tried.
The testimony of the couple proved
a weird exhibition of tears, lamenta-
tions and wild sayings. Mrs. Sharp
reviewed the history Of herself and
her husband. When she told OF their
conversion she wept so loud she could
be heard in the street.
Adam God, who followed his wife
on the stand, wept almost constantly
for the half hour he was testify
ing. He explained-in detail the be-
liefs Of himself and his followers and
told of the doings of his band.
Brother, Sharp said, finally, ad-
dressing the judge, and with tears
streaming down his face, 1T all came
to me in a revelation as | lay asleep
i'm my cell last night The Lord said
to me, just like it was in the Bible
that my enemies are my friends Now
the Lord means that | must turn
that saying around. II / am to find
my friends l mast go among my
enemies. That is Just the reason God
led me into this courtroom"
Sharp denies shooting Patrolman
Mullane, with whose death he is
charged.
