is Highly Wrought Up.
Mr.. Roosevelt has determined to
have punishment meted out to those
who started the scandal. He is more
highly wrought up over the Panama
affair and Mr.. PulitZer's connection
with it than i've any other untoward
incident of his administration.
He has given his personal atten.
ton to every detail of the case since
the stories were first printed. He has
practically assumed charge of the pre-
liminary proceedings.
In the meanwhile activity on the
part of the administration officials
continues. The same strict secrecy
is also maintained as to what is going
on and under what law the action is
to be prosecuted.

Your own son John would not be nailed up in box car. or speeding away with the velocity of the wind on the rods of flying train at risk of his life and limb.

"The greatest foe of ignorance is publicity. The saying that pub licity corrects all abuses is true one. Advertising makes you ac- quainted with the public. It gives people knowledge about you and your goods, and knowledge is abso lutely essential to confidence. Big advertising looks like big sales; it makes people familiar with you; it unconsciuusIy creates confidence Without doubt the greatest force today in the interest of confidence in the interest of credit. if you will -is advertising. The object of ad verlising is to teach the people to believe in you and in your goods; to teach them to think that they have need for your goods and to teach them to buy your goods; and the object of a salesman when he goes into his territory is exactly the same."
