1t is quite probable that advertising will
play even a larger part in the drama of
civilization in years to come. Children
nowadays are familiar with advertising,
from the infant pointing to the picture of
the cow in the condensed milk advertise
ment, to the boy who knows from the tech
meal description just what kind of air rifle
he wants. II is not difficult to foresee the
probable effect this familiarity with ad-
vertising from infancy up will nave on the
business of the future. 1t will unquestion-
ably make the next generation of grown
ups more responsive to advertising. With
the assurance of a wide attention to his
announcements, the advertiser will be able
to dispense with many of the extraneous
efforts to secure 1t, and can devote his
space more largely to giving desired in
formation about his wares. When the ad-
vertisements become q more generally
recognized source OF useful information,
the story-writers and poets may be hard
put to 1t to secure their share of attention
and the best literary features may, as a
special favor, be run next to advertising
matter"

While no one denies the right Of an indi-
vidual to make and market any unpatented
article, even when it is designed to bust
the trust by a lower price. 1t is hard to
make ones sympathy elastic enough to
cover limitations which have evidently been
designed to gather in from a none-too-care
full public a portion of the business devel-
oped by the advertising and merit of a sue
cessful article. The courts are often called
upon to protect well known names from in
fringement by resemblance Following the
introduction OF "Uneeda BIcuit," the mar
ket was infected. until the courts inter-
vened, with similarly appearing packages
OF "Uwanta Biscuit "Ulika Biscuit, -
"Iwanta Biscuit and others. Even IL
such packages were made 70 contain a bet
ter product than the original, it would be
a poor policy for either dealer or consumer
to encourage the marketing of them in a
manner so obviously calculated to deceive
the public. 1t is, however, seldom custo-
mary for that type of mind to knowingly
produce a superior article and offer It for
sale under such a dress. Censure can not
be properly attached. however, to COMPETE
tive articles which attempt honestly to give
a product of equal value under an entirely
different name. The public have paid for
their education in learning to use we'll adj
vertised but unpatented commodities, and
the lover of fair play will grant them the
right to purchase them at lower prices I'M
der new names il they so elect. Public SEN
timent will hardly respond to a~nti-substitu-
ton claims which do not recognize this in
herent public right.

Innuence of AdvertisinE IN the net
terment of the world.

Collier weekly.
The thought that advertising is the es-
sential pivot upon which civilization turns
may be new to many; but the further in
quiry Is made into the facts the more OBJ
vious does 1t become that this is true. When
one considers the educational effect Of the
1900 newspapers and magazines in this
country, and recalls what is obvious on re-
Election, that scarcely one OF them could be
profitsbly published without advertising, It
becomes clear that more than we can esti-
mate OF the intellectual status of the people
depends directly and Enthusiastically upon adj
vertising. Again, when one considers the
wide distribution OF manufactured products,
upon which the comforts of civilization so
largely depend. and recalls how here, too,
advertising has been the indispensable
factor. It becomes most evident that its
Importance is fundamenta 1t is hardly
surprising, therefore, that the advertising
in ten representative magazines last year
amounted to nearly $s.00O,Oo 0 II statistics
were possible showing the amount spent in
5000 newspapers and periodicals, in the
street cars, on the billboards and in the
hundred and one miscellaneous forms of
advertising. it would perhaps exceed the
figures of almost any other industry. The
number Of men employed in preparing ad-
vertising matter, In printing and publishing,
making Illustrations, designs. and engrav-
ings, and doing other work contributing d.
rectly to advertising. would IL possible TO
compute it, show publicity to rank easily
among the foremost industries Of the world.

SUSPECT ARRESTED
Woman Testifies That Man
Talked of Murders
SPECIAL Dispqich to The Cali

SPRINGFIELD, o., April 25.-The
murder of three Dayton girls. it is be-
lieved. has been solved by the arrest
OF Elmer Carr in Dayton. His ar
rest followed after Mrs. Carrie Middle
stetter had testified before him re-
garding the burxing of a house belong
ing to her.
Mary Forschner's body was diseov-
cred by her stepfather January % in
North Dayton. February ;. or about
two weeks later. the body of Eliza
beth Futhart was found in a cistern
in Dayton. Dona Gilman was the last
victim, her body being found two weeks
ego
Mrs. Middlestetter testified that Carr
had said he had killed the girl and
that he was implicated in the Forsch-
ner crime as we'll. She did not give
any direct testimony regarding the
death Of the Gilman girl, but intimated
that as Carr knew the girl he could
possibly explain how she died
Mrs. Middlestetter said that Carr
asked her If she had seen anything in
the newspapers regarding the disap-
pearance of any young girl. She re-
piled that she had not.
Well you will he is said to have
replied, according to her testimony. On
the following Friday the discovery was
made. and although she was taken be-
fore the court during the coroner's in
quest Mrs. Middlestetter states that
she did not dare to tell what she knew
Of the case then, through fear of Carr.
Carr was arrested and held as sus-
pect, but later released because of lack
of evidence. He is now in jail.

right TO take his son into the jungles.
That part Of Africa is no place for a
boy even if he is a perfect type of
young manhood, and Kermit has d
very good cha nee of acquiring fever
from the effects of which he may never
entirely recover.
The only other danger the party
will have to face is from the rhinos.

Bitter Controversy Between

ment Continues

Washington, April S.--The bitter
controversy which has been in pro-
gress ever since the pure food law
was enacted as to what is whisk ~ {?
was renewed at the White HOUSE
yesterday before president Taft al
referee. The debate enlisted ohe
services or many distinguished law
yers. among them Joseph III. Choat,.
former ambassador TO Great Britain
and John G.. Carlisle, former score
tary OF the treasury. In addition
there were present the representa-
lives OF practically all the big distil-
lerIes of this country. Mr.. Choate
appeared for Canadian interests.
Mr.. Carlisle represented distillers OF
his native state. Kentucky. Attor.
ney General wickersham. secretary
OF agriculture Wilson, and DIR. II, w.
Wiley, the pure food expert. were
among the government representa-
ives heard. The hearing continued
TOT more than two hours. Ths W.
the second time the president had
been called into the controversy.
Under ruling OF former Attor-
ney General Bonaparte, In consc-
quence with an opinion by DIR. Wiley
all whiskey not aged and freed from
russell oil by several years OF stor-
age nwhite oak barrels which have
been charred on the ms de. has been
made subject to labelling under tho
head OF Imitation" or COMPOUND"
whiskey. The distillers who purify
their product by higher forms of
mechanical, rectiflcation and rAdis-
o. lation are anxious to have this
ruling reversed, declaring they are
suffering from the system OF labelling
now In vogue, whereas their whiskcy
is az pure and free from deleterious
ingredients as The whiskey rectified
IN the old fashioned way and now
regarded as the only straight"
whakey on the market. Most Scotch
whistles and some higher grades

country are classed as Imitation"

AL the conclusion OF the confer
ence 1t was announced that the
whole matter would be referred to
Solicitor General Bowers, OF the de-
partment OF Justice. who Is to take
testimony.
Some of the distillers wanted the
matter referred to board but the
president decided that the solicitor
general was the proper person to
take the testimony. When he has
concluded the president will act.
