We estimate that every year is wasted
$100,000,0O0 on ads that should never
run.
That $12500O,0O0 is being spent an
nually to accomplish what $25,000000
should do.
If such ads were put to comparative
test, they would all be discarded And
each would teach lesson which one new
er could forget.
That is why we pay such remarkable
salaries to members of our Copy Staff.
One of these writers receives $1,000 per
week.
Yet we have known these men to
make, in one month. for one client, more
than all of the writer's make in a year.

The Many-Man Power

We employ on our Copy Staff the ablest
men we know. We have picked them
out, in the course of years, by the bril-
liant results we have seen them accom-
plish.
No one else pays for such talent what
we pay. So we attract here the very best
in the field.
Then, in this vortex of advertising
this school of myriad experiences
these men multiply their powers.
Yet we never permit any one Of these
men to work out a campaign alone. There
is too much at stake.
One man can't know all the pitfalls.
One man has limited knowledge, limited
ideas and experience. And no one man
can average human nature.

MISSOURI CATHOLICS
 WANT PROHIBITION

WASHINGTON. Mo. May 14.-A petition, signed by the 250 delegates in attendance upon the state conyen- ton of the Catholic union of Missou- ri, in session here was forwarded to Jefferson City The petition declared in anxious terms against prohibition for Missouri.
 The vote to sign and forward the petition was carried unanimously by the convention. There are delegates here from all parts of the state. Among them are fifty priests. The union has a membership of 11.000. After declaring tEe unions loyalty to the Holy See and urging upon all Catholics too look after the financial needs of the Holy Father. urging that education be conducted along lines laid down by the church. condemnins | divorce as an evil that degrades marriage into a mere matter of con tract,'' condemning socialism and de manding a liability law that will pro tect the laborer, the resolutions con ] tinue:
 Liberty is personal. True liberty ! is self government. Liberty is no | license to do wrong. It is the prov | ince of the state to furnish and pre- vent the abuse of liberty. But the theory of state absolutism is that the power of the state is omnipotent. Alp i solution is the death of liberty.
 There is no difference in princi- | pie between Louis XIV of France, the | terrorists of the French revolution.
 and the supporters of the doctrine
 that the majority have an absolute
 power; state absolutism means slav-
 cry.
 The prohibitionists are absolutists.
 They contend that the majority have i an absolute power and that irdivid-
 ual rights may thus be justly swept aside. We condemn prohibition on that ground.
 But we condemn this so-called prohibition of the liquor trafic on the further ground, that fl overiooks the mature of real temperance. Temper. ance is a personal virtue. This yir'
 tue we desire to promote in every
 way possible.
 We. therefore. urge all the mem bers of our union everywhere to raise their voice in protest against ! the principle which we have con demned: and at the same time wt urge them by word and example to contend against the evil of treating
