We say to you ALTO our clients and others
lit is wrong to be blindly contented.
1t is wrong to tie yourself up--to bind your
self by q time contract with any advertising
agent. 4
It is wrong because it kills incentive. II les
sens endeavor, szzsqama q 81 -su 7
The advertiser who gets the utmost attention
Is the man who is never caught.
Our rule henceforth is--no contracts with
clients. ~ s s
We seek advertising on the plea that we
make It pay better than others. And we expect
to keep it only 30 long as we do that.
II any agency can make any campaign pay
better than we, that advertising belongs else
where.
BY the sam rule. if we can make your ad-
v~crtising pay better than others, your account
belongs to US.
But how can you know? So. )
That is what we want to tell you. To start
with, the probabilities are nearly all on our
side.
We have far outgrown all rival agencies,
solely through results brought to clierts.
We handle hundreds Of accounts which are
bound to us solely by the fact that we outsell
all others.

tons as EnumeratorS
Worrying Durand.

The revival OF prosperity, giving jobs
10 the jobless. is making It hard for
Census Director DUrand to secure
enough enumerators for the count which
begins In April.
Ordinarily there IS a rush OF april
cants for these places, Notwithstanding
the fact that the employment Is only
for couple OF weeks. Just now, how
ever, supervisors are writing In com
planning of lack Of applicants for the
places. Everybody Is too busy to take
a little tw-o-week Job with Uncle Sam.
January % was the date set by Df-
rector Durand for the closing Of the con-
sideratiOn Of applications for places as
enumerators, but UP to now there have
been mighty few willing 20 act-pa rticu-
larry In the cities.
In rural communities. as r rule. there
have been many more applicants than
positions to be filed.
In view OF this scarcity of candidates
for the counting in the cities the al
rector today Issued an appeal TO all
public spirited and patriotic geopie TO
como 10 the front and join the ranks
Of the enumerators, even though pay is
no induCcment.
There are 5000 jobs as enumerators
to be filled.

LAW and ORDER SOCIETY

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
1 read an article in recent issue Of
THE EVENING JOURNAL. which dealt
with the formation OF a new law and or
der society. and it set me to the task OF
learning whether Wilmington was the
most evil city or not would ike to ask
the editor few questions and would be
pleased to read the answer n TILE EVEN
ING JOURNAL.
First-who are the persons who have
formed the Law and order Society," Please
give the names Of the officers. There was
name attached to the article 1 read,
which is suggestive OF Hawk" but the
other officers names did not appear.
Second-Do you think the city OF Will
mington needs such an organizations
Third-Are the members responsible in
vested with powers. or are they irrespon-
slble and just arrogating TO themselves the
right to police the city TO suit their
whims?
But Mr.. Editor, in all seriousness, 1
sought and secured some Information con-
cerning the policing and crimes commit
ted in this and other cities and offer it
Tor your consideration, the enlightenment
Of the members Of the new soc ETY. and the
public in general. For, since it seems
those citizens who have formed the society
appear to have lost all confidence IN the
/ police force of the city wishing to sup
| plement it by their activity, 1 do not be-
liovo many of wilmington's citizens viii
/ agree that the town yet needs such an or
] ganization.
Here is a comparison between Whining
ton and other cities.
Wilmington has one patroman for every
/ 1900 Of population.
Baltimore on TO every $50.
Philadelphia one to every 5oe.
Newark. n. j.. one to every 7i2
Jersey iCty one to every zoe.
New York one to every 4S5
Worcester. Mass, one to every S14
Lynn. Mass, one TO every 762
Salem Mass, one to every 793.
Portland, Ne. one to every SOL including
sheriff deputies.
Reading Pa, one TO every 9il
Lancaster. Pa, one to every $40
The reporters blotter at the police sta
tion in the city han gives for the past
month 32S arrests for all causes and cas-
ual observers will see that this is only one
arrest per day for every 5000 Of popula-
ton. This is very good showing indeed
for a city OF the size of Wilmington.
! Then. again. Mr.. Editor, the letter that
attracted my attention advised the PUBIC
in general to acquaint the secretary OF the
newly formed society OF the presence or
bawdy houses and that they dhe society
would prosecute the offenders. This is
nerve and richness indeed. The city full
of people are to convert themselves int
spies so that the society may prosecute
sympathy-needing women-Nomen VINO
are forced into the unnatural position they
occupv by an unnatural condition support
ed by the members OF the newly formed
society
But perhaps those whited sepulchers are
only out for a little fun, like Glib in
Phna.. but II so. they should defray their
EXPENSES and do their own detective work.
Yours sincerely

With the passage of the first decade
Of the twentieth century there Is ush-
cred in a continuous performance of
anniversaries. The tercentenary of
the discovery of Lake Champlain and
the two hundred and fiftieth annivcrs
airy of the founding of Greenwich have
just been celebrated. These big figures
prove that the United States is really
getting on" i'm the matter Of years.
The four hundroth anniversary of the
discovery of America has already been
celebrated. and in a few years there
viii arrive the first of a long series
of anniversaries of events occurring
200. 250. 800 and 400 years ago. tt will
be only little more than another
decade before the three hundreth year
since the landing OF the Pilgrims will
be celebrated. In 1915 will come tho
three hundred and hftieth anniversary
of the founding of the oldest city Ia
the United States. while a few years
later will bring the four hundreth am
niversary Of the great epochal dis
coveries OF the Mississippi, the Pacific
Ocean. etc.
In the meantime there has already
been begun a long series of hftietl
anniversaries Half a century ago this
December John Brown was hanged
and that inaugurates the long list oi

ally will come the centennials Of thS

Opinion
The sohooI Of Manners.

'o ONNooi " WdUUSfos
New York World.
The institution of a school of de-
pertinent for saleswomen and other
women wage-earners in Chicago is in
teresting as a symptom OF social de-
velopment. How a girl should con-
duct herself toward an employer and
20 what extent she should accept inyi-
tations from him; what her demeanor
should be toward fellow-employes Of
the other sex; how she should dress;
her attitude toward car conductors
and in public places-thcse are among
the questions OF etiquette in which
instruction is 70 be given to young
business women"
No doubt there is field for such a
school. Tho increased participation OF
women in commercial life has Wrought
about new relationships, half social
half business. to which parlor manners
do not apply. Some surprise may ba
felt that the alert professional staff OF
the University OF Chicago has over
looked the need Of tuition Of this kind
and allowed an outside agency to ori-
ginate Il.
But what has become OF the Amcrl-
can mother as a teacher Of conduct
Once il was IN the home that girls
learned how to behave. Tho principles
inculcated may have been old-fashion
ed, but they served the demands made
upon them. There is no recollection
OF school of maners for the Lowell
factory girls of former generation
or for the pioneer army Of women
workers. Are the duties Of individual
maternal responsibility TO be ultimate
ly farmed out one by one? The Chi
cago school of manners is in some OF
It's aspects no doubt a joke. But be-
hind il is the sober fact of a general
inclination to delegate home duties to
other ends.

REFERENDUM VOTING.

c ONE Of the New Jersey districts are dis
- cardng the voting machines. In FIVE
election precincts in Camden the other day the
decision was to do away with the machines
But the surprising aspect of this election is
the fact that but few votes were polled. The
FIVE precincts cast total OF about 1900 votes at
election there were only 314 votes. Obviously
most OF the men did not care whether voting
machines were abolished or not
Opponents OF the referendum system point
to this small vote as an argument against the
referendum and in favor of representative form
of nominations. 1t is held that because the
people will not turn out in large numbers and
vote on such questions, they will not take an
interest in direct primaries for the nomination
of candidates. In some states there is herce
dispute over the direct primary question.
There is no good reason TO believe that the
direct primary in making nominations is not
better than the convention plan. The direct
primary system has proved satisfactory in this
county and no one would want to return to the
convention plan.
So far as the referendum is concerned on ques-
tons such as the use of voting machines, the
people will vote il they are interested The
local option election proved that. And despite
the objections that may be made TO the reteren-
dunn we believe that il is highly desirable to OBJ
tain the expression Of the voters. Certainly a
referendum at a regular election will show what
the voters think of political questions. The
election at which we had referendum on sew
eral matters demonstrated plainly that the trend
OF public sentiment was different from that fol-
lowed by the political leaders.
