USELESS ADVERTISING.

| There was some merit in the resolu
| ton offered by President c. G.. Ter
rell OF the Retail Merchants Associa.
| ton Thursday night, declaring against
lindiscriminate advertising. 1t was In
| line with similar actions by mer.
chants associations in other cities
There can be no question that much
money Is thrown away in patronizing
various schemes which are presented
to business men from time to time by
men who travel over the country
soliciting cards etc, for all manner
|of devices that look good when pre-
sented bnt are barren of results.
Standing street advertising, as a rule,
is not profitable; it grows stale in d
little while and ceases to attract. To
be effective advertising must be al.
ways up-to-date, fresh, crisp. its an
nouneements must have always the
merit Of striking present-day inter.
est. This, at any rate, is one of the
eSStHtidta' ofIiilldE ouleCbIuHS may
be raised to cards on programs, to
hand-bills thrown Unfortunately
about the streets or into the front
yards of people.
But there Is one kind OF advertising
which was included in the prohibitory
resolution which has value in more
ways than one: it Is the purchasing OF
tickets for various home entertain
ments, churches, societies, charitable
affairs, etc. AS was stated by Mr..
John Fry at the meeting Thursday, in
protesting against the resolution, the
money paid out by business men In
this way remains at home, tends to
promote various enterprises that are
good for the city, and it comes back
to the merchant, sooner or later, "llke
bread cast upon the water" Although,
as President Terrell stated, this
source of expense was included in the
resolutions adopted by other mer.
chants association. it is manifestly
not Of a class with the other things
mentioned. Perhaps if this class had
been eliminated the resolution would
have met with favor at the meeting
Thursday night.

Congress is thoroughly aroused over
the matter and is planning to sift it
to the bottom. Senator Elkins meas
ure along these lines provides for the
appointment of committee of FIVE
senators to make a comprehensive in
Vestigation of the increase in the cost
of living in the last ten years. The
committee is also to inquire whether
wages and incomes have kept pace
with the increase in prices. Wholesale
and retail prices and their relations
are to be considered and particularly
the prices of meats, grain, wool, cloth
ing, rents, building materials. etc. An
Important provision is that If the in
creased cost has been caused by any
action of congress or any monopoly
the committee shall report with recon-
mendations to relieve the situation.

subject have been introduced in both
