Talks for people who sell things

Sometimes even bad advertisements
pay, which shows what a force adver-
Using is The better the copy, the
better the results, of course. Good
copy for one class OF trade might be
very poor copy for another. But there
are a few broad general principles
which are always true.
Your advertising should be attrac-
tive enough to catch the eye. Size
doesn't do this. A two-inch single
column card may be made to attract
more notice than an announcement as
big as a sheet Of note paper. II your
advertisement isn't seen 1t isn't read
and II II isn't read no matter If 1t
has 100000 circulation it isn't
worth a postage stamp. You are not
investing in circulation, but in readers
of advertisements.
The next point is to make your ad-
vertisement readable. AS rule the
copy easiest to read is printed In fairly
large type; one kind of type with a
display heading or two and the read
ing matter divided into easy para
graphs. Most advertisers think that
by crowding the space to its utmost
they are getting bigger value for their

DEMOCRACY WITH FRILLs.
Analysis of Bryan's Plan of Smother
ing "Smaller Units"
NaN York Wnrld


Mr.. Bryan may not be an advocate of
national prohibition, but 1t is difficult to
draw a different conclusion from his ad-
dress before the Catholic Total Abstinence
union at Chicago, In, which he said:
Il would not favor legislation forbidding
use Of LIQUOR at any time or under any
circumstances. / would consider this an
unnecessary limitation upon the liberty of
the individual, but L am In favor of such
restriction as may seem necessary for the
protection of society.
There is a great deal OF discussion at
this time over the unit. That is, as to
whether the power>to regulate the liquor
traffic shall be vested in the town, in the
precinct, in the county, in the state or in
the nation. als
II hold that every unit ought to have
authority to act on this subject, except as
1t is restrained by a larger unit. That is,
that the block, the ward. the city, the pre-
cinct, the county, the state and the nation
should have the undisputed right to ex-
clude the sale OF liquor within its limits,
or fix such restrictions upon the sale OF
liquor as the people of the unit may deem
necessary for their protection and welfare.
believe also that the larger unit has a
right to control the smaller one on this as
on other subjects
This may be popular doctrine as apply
ing to the manufacture and sale of liquor,
but it does not represent the theory of
government upon which this nation is
founded.
II the larger unit has right to con-
troll the smaller unit" the states ought
to be abolished, for the nation Is larger
unit than the state. II the larger unit
has a right to control the smaller unit"
the courts should stop UNFOLDING the right
OF the people to local self-government, for
the state is larger unit than the town
ship, the city or the county.
Mr.. Bryan is reversing democratic insti-
| tutions. He is pleading for the right OF
the nation to rule the state and for the
right o. the state to rule the county and
the city in matters which belong pri-
marily to the Individual.
II this doctrine is to be applied to the
sale of liquor it might as consistently be
applied to everything.

Ohio Primaries and Harmon.

Observers close at hand agree that
the recent Ohio primary election was
a severe jolt to the Harmon presi-
Dental boom. The governor lost some
ground he could i'll afford to spare and
his loss was the gain of his old party
foe, Tom Johnson. In Cleveland,
where Johnson served three times as
mayor and was defeated on the fourth
time around, Johnson's defeat of the
Harmon crowd was the most crush
ing. In Cincinnati the primary de-
throned Lewis G. Bernard, who for
more than twenty years had been the
titular head of his party in that city
and the inspiration Of Harmon's po-
litical aspirations.
These democrats who, opposing
Bryan and his more radical wing of
the party, have been hailing Harmon
as the Moses to lead the democracy
back to power along the path of old
line issues, must find little to comfort
them in these primary results. There
can be no installing or discounting of
the issue squarely drawn. Tom John
son had only just returned from Eu-
rope and plunged headlong into the
fight to whip the governor and his
forces. If anyone doubts Johnson's at
titude toward Harmon let him turn to
what the Cleveland man said Of Har-
mons nomination for governor two
years ago when he declared 1t to be a
trap set by Bryan's enemies to catch
Bryan's friends.
These little inside facts from the
family circle of Ohio democrats, taken
together with the results of the pri-
maries, are interesting in connection
with Harmon's candidacy and chances
of nomination for the presidency
With the tenacious Johnson out to
get him" and another state election
intervening before the national cam
paign, Governor Harmon's chances OF
restoring his party to power in Wash
ington are still purely speculative.

Touring Eurone

Seven ocean liners left New York
the other day with 1895 persons
aboard for Europe, most of them
pleasure-seekers, who will spend the
summer across the Atlantic. Steam
ship officers say the tide of tourists to
the old world is larger this year than
ever and it has been steadily rising for
many years.
This spectacle, of course, reflects a
condition of general prosperity in the
United States, but 1t also denotes
growing interest on the part of Amer
leans for Europe and Europeans.
people from various countries in Eu-
rope come to the United States to make
their homes and in time as they pros
per they return to visit their native
lands and they, in fact, form a large
proportion sometimes in these num-
bers of pleasure-seekers, which is q
good omen for the future of interna-
tional comfy. AS the American tour
lists bring back from the old world ac-
curate knowledge of It and it's people
and the conditions surrounding them,
so these Acknowledgment take to
their native countries American knowl-
edge, ways and ideas and this inter-
course is mutually profitable.
In 1907, when the financial strin-
gency fell upon the country, 1900, 900
foreigners who had established homes
in the United States, or we're estab-
fishing them, went back to their Eu-
ropean homes, where they could make
their American earnings go further.
One million of them returned, but
think of the .leavening influence of the
100000 that remained abroad. They
became practical missionaries for the
United States, spreading the gospel of
American methods at home, in mart
and state among their own people,
thus sowing seed that must spring up
I into wholesome harvests of better
thought, of more advanced system
of living.
There is nothing that can take the
place of this interchange and inter
course between the old and new world
and nothing that will tend to draw the
peoples of each side of the sea into
more intelligent and substantial
friendship. This is one factor work
ing toward that goal of world peace
about which we hear so much today

A Chance for Autoists.

Over in Chicago call is being made
for volunteers to loan automobiles to
carry the veterans of the civil war to
the cemetery on their memorial mis-
sion on Decoration day. The marking
of the graves of the soldier dead is the
significant feature of the impending
holiday, and while it has become per-
manently established, participation by
the fast aging veterans cannot con-
tinue much longer. The youngest old
soldier is now in his COS and the
physical fatigue of march has forced
them to dispense with the old-time
parade. The veterans are entitled to
every consideration of gratitude and
every assistance in keeping the mem
DRY of their comrades fresh and fra
grant. If the autoists of Omaha would
put their machines at the disposal of
the Decoration day committee for a
few hours next Monday they would
have a lot of big credit marks chalked
up opposite their names.

Just n 0uibble.


In his Washington hall speech Mr..
Bryan tried to divert attention from
his Inconsistency In hiring a small sa-
loon hall for a prohibition speech when
plenty of other halls equally capacious
we're available by trying to pick a
quarrel with The Bee because 1t had
referred to county option" as county
prohibition" The editor Of The Bee
has not sense enough" Numbered Mr..
Bryan in his rage, Ito say county OPP
ton, for he does not know the differ
ence between option and prohibition"
AS a lawyer by training, although
not by practice, Mr.. Bryan has a pre-
disposition to pettifogging and quib-
bling. But Il is the substance and not
the form that counts. There may be
a difference between county option and
county prohibition, but the particular
kind Of one-sided county option which
the anti-saloonists in Nebraska are de-
handing, and which Mr. Bryan is ad-
vocating, would work prohibition for
the county just the same as prohibit
ton amendment to the constitution
would work statewide prohibition.
Mr.. Bryan would have it that county
option simply gives the people of the
county a chance to vote, and that 1t
takes an Affirmative vote to produce
county prohibition. 1t goes without
saying, however, that the anti-saloon-
lists would not want county option if
they did not believe It would give them
county prohibition.
That the editor of The Bee did not
lack so much in common sense is
proved by the statement given out by
superintendent Paulson, the paid
spokesman OF the Nebraska Anti-Sa-
loon league, with reference to their
proposed county option bill:
This is measure intended to provide
for the creation by popular vote of anti
saloon territory; 1t provides for voting the
saloons out and not for voting them in.
Under the operation of this bill the county
that has within Its limits dry" territory
can vote upon the question of becoming
anti-saloon territory in order to avail itself
Of the law-enforcement provisions of this
measure without endangering the present
dry" regime.
Nebraska has had for nearly thirty
years local option with the incorpor-
ated city, town and village as the unit.
The people of each community now
say whether they want to license
liquor selling or not, and their verdict
is final. The proposition to make the
county the unit is admittedly one to
enable the people outside of the city
or town to reverse the verdict inside
of the city or town on this question
If that verdict favors license. If
there is any difference between county
option and county prohibition in re-
suits, it is a difference in name only,

Improving the Census.

Many cities are expressing fear that
their full population Will not be shown
in the 1910 census and there is quite
strong demand for improvement in
the system OF counting noses. OF
course 1t is little early to get scared,
but 1t may be that our methods of
taking the census can be bettered, al
though they are this year an advance
of previous census years. On the
other hand, it is quite possible that
some of these cities making so much
fuss now are beginning to realize that
no census could bring their population
up to the fictitious figures they had
been claiming. This, and not the
knowledge that the count has been
radically deficient. probably is what
alarms them.
The tendency in most cities, partic-
ularly in the west, where the adver-
Using agent is getting in his best
work, is to overshoot the mark.
Omaha has the most painful realiza-
ton Of this fact in it's recollection OF
1890 and some of these cities-though
Omaha is not one this time-are now
paving the way for their "I-told-you-
SO" protest by premature complaints,
No tangible plan for improving the
system seems to have been offered
beyond the suggestion made that the

Complaint has also been lodged
against the short period of time al
lotted to the census. but that, in the
light of what some European coun-
tries do, seems to be a poorly founded
criticism. In Germany, for Instance, the
census is taken in one day, instead Of
two weeks, and England devotes very
little more time to it and those coun-
tries obtain accurate inventories Of
their populations.
The advantage of this one-day sys-
TEN, which, of course, calls for a
larger army of enumerators and
smaller districts, is that it avoids du-
plications which the long period in
vitees. The tendency must be toward
shortening and not frightening the
time in the United States when the
work Of improvement is undertaken.
A correct census depends wholly on
a thoroughly systematized organiza-
ton and It is not strange that this has
not been had in this country where we
take the count only once in ten years.
1t should be remembered, however,
that we have never had a census that
gave complete satisfaction or whose
accuracy was not uestioned in some

PoLITICs IN NEBRASKA.
Critical observations of a Lone Star
Seer.


Houston (Texas) Post (dem.)
The Omaha Bee says that at the repub-
lican banquet held last week in Omaha
participated in by representatives from all
sections of the state, the sentiment ex-
pressed was to the effect that Nebraska
republicans will settle any differences they
may have within party lines, and when the
time comes present a solid front to the
democratic opposition.
In support of what 1t claims to be the
loyal attitude OF republicans OF that state
toward the party, it says THE democratic
leadership and program in Nebraska holds
out absolutely nothing to republicans"
While as a partisan newspaper, The Bee
In its zeal for the cause 1t supports pos
sibly misjudges the measure Of unity pre-
valling among republicans Of that state,
still ii can hardly be eontended that the
course of democratic politics in the state
has been such as to strongly attract re-
cruits from the opposition party, even
though dissatisfaction should exist in the
ranks OF the latter. The emocratic party of
Nebraska all along has shown too ready a
disposition to fuse with any element that
offered fusion in order to share the spoils
OF office, to attract that character of sup
port which stays with parties in defeat as
well as in victory.
The democratic party has in the ultimate
in both state and national politics under
mined its own strength whenever it has
turned aside from its true mission and
pushed into the background the fundamen-
tai principles Of government it was founded
to uphold, that it might gain favor tenn
porarily with elements in nowise in SYM
pathy with its great aims
Let the party uphold the banner of pure
democracy, turning neither to the right
nor to the left, and there is always in this
country an intelligent Independent vote
which will come to it's support in sufficient
numbers to insure 1t a victory.
