Protestants and Roman Catholics. AT

A remarkable fact in the religious
work of the city has been the growth
of the Lutheran church, its additional
churches since 1865 having been ~

Toledo, O.-The sea lion which re-

journ in the Maumee, escaped again
some time early the other morning.
Police Lieutenant Conway sent four
officers to pursue the animal.
Coroner Charles j. Henzler says
they ought to let the sea lion stay
in the river and make no attempt to
catch him.
They should not have taken it out
when it was in the river before" he
says. why, as long as it was in the
river there was not a single case of
drowning. Kids were afraid to go in
swimming, and people were afraid to
commit suicide by jumping into the
water"

Denver, Col.-While Colonel Roose-

Whenever he asked the girl q Qu0s-

THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
Striking Article In North American
Review That ls Attracting Wide
Attention.

The attention OF business and pro
iessional men IN all portions OF the
country has been attracted to a strik'
ingly strong article by Col. George
Harvey IN the September issue OF the
North American Review In which the
writer takes view OF the greatest
hopefulness for the future OF America
and Americans. The article Is en-
titled "A Plea for the Conservation OF
Common Sense" and Il is meeting
with the cordial approval OF business
men OF all shades OF political opinion
throughout the entire country. In
part, Colonel Harvey says:
"UnquesuonabIy a spirit Of unrest
dominates the land. But, n II be
true that fundamentally the condition
OF the country is sound, must We

why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer. we believe, to be plain.
It awaits adjustment Of the relations
OF government TO business. The
sole problem consists Of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
OF interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against eXt0rtion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
The solution is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the stu

not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines? -"

ness, it would increase tremen-
dously.
This may be true, but the
fact remains that the SIM
PLEST ANNOUNCEMENT over
the name of B. Altman & Co.
brings IMMEDIATE RE-
SPONSE-and the reason is
that people believe what is
printed over that name.
1t has taken many years to
bring about this CONFIDENCE
on the part of the people, but it
exists today to a marvellous de-
gree and nothing can shake it.
Other advertisers do not APP
prove of the style of the adver-
Using, yet many of them imi-
tate it with this difference-only
here and there can be found a
business house whose reputation
justifies imitation of the Altman
methods. Others have nothing
to back them up-not much
REPUTATION, if any; and not
much RELIABILITY, if any.
Many people trail along life's
pathway trying to step in the
footprints Of the great, but they
make lamentable failures, be-
cause they overlook the princi-
pies that have made the other
man great.
| don't believe it is possible,
in these days, for any firms, with
the exception of perhaps three
or four in New York, to follow
the style of the Altman adver-
Using and meet with any kind OF
success.
1t is hard to explain why thi:
is so. My own personal opinion
is that the style adopted many
years ago by Altman and stead
tasty followed ever since has
made it's impression on the pub
lie in such a manner as to give tt
the house all the results that i
wants from it's advertising.
Maybe other methods woulc
bring greater results, but thu
firm will not listen to any change
in its style.
A merchant said to me th'
other day:
do you know that EVERY PIECE
of merchandise that goes into the Alt
man Store is examined carefully be
fore II Is put on sale? To illustrate
II he buys nine thousand suits OF UT
derwear. every suit Ia examined be
fore IL goes on sale-not one, nor ter
nor a hundred, but the whole min
thousand"
Another merchant said to me
Altman & Co. have Just as firm
hold on the confidence of their en-
ployes as they have on that OF tn
public. That was illustrated in tn
recent strike troubles, when not
single driver or helper quit his job"
If the public believes in a firm
and employees are LOYAL-thel
il always succeeds.

Editorials by the People
A Shame to Us.

To the Editor Of The Times: Your
editorial in Thursdays issue on the
acceptance of the Scott bequest Is In
exact accord with my sentiments.
There is nothing to commend the be-
quest or its acceptance.
In the first place. such fountain on
Belle Isle, devoted, as II is, and ought
to be, TO keeping natures play
ground open to the people OF pent-
up city, is a gross violation OF the pro-
prieties Of art. The adornment or such
a parl. Is its unadorned beauty, save.
perhaps as modified in places by con-
sistent landscape gardening.
In the next place, such monument
to a man with such a reputation
do not say characters an affront to
the fine moral sense OF the community
and an obstacle TO every parent who
Is trying TO train up children In the
way OF plain, old-fashioned virtues.
Again, this thing is blot on the
public spirit OF Detroit We are all
TOO poor in the memorials OF our great
men. We haven't a single statue TO a
truly n; tional character. We ought
TO have statues OF Cass, OF Chandler,
OF Grant and other great men who
have been OF us. But who, hereafter.
will want to put them on a monument
al plane with this man who buys him
self q memorial with money. not one
dollar Of whichever according to his
championship ever earned? Nobody
will want to get into the scott class;
and our city will have the unique and
undesirable and undeserved distinc-
ton of having, as Its one, great artis-
tic establishment, a monument to
man who encouraged no toiler's In
dustry, no mothers fidelity, no youths
purity of thought. II is a shame to US.
