n Is a Mistake


Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it Is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for .Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
paimed off on you.

except the reading Judge is likely to hear the
decision. In other words some OF the judges OF
the supreme court have such weak voices that
not even the men closest TO them can catch what
they say and everybody must wait until the deci
sion be read before knowing what 1t means
This inability perhaps lack of desire on the
part of some of the justices to read out loud is
great trial to the newspaper correspondents who
are anxious to telegraph the news of the decision
at the earliest moment possible. There are other
troubles which beset the correspondents well
those which come from the poor enunciation
and the weak voices of of the justices
Legal language is the hardest kind of language
for the layman to understand and the result is
that when the decision is read the first part OF

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe Is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does great deal OF adj
vertising Is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than In the editorial department. If O
daily paper goes to the homes OF the
people, and Is read by them, he Is salts
fed, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic of1iceseekers, whose
first concern Is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice OF
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally Is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is 'subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM

THE DANGER OF DELAY
A Story OF Human interest


He was stalwart young man with
health and energy, with wife and
two children. and with a farm on
which there was a debt that would
fall due in a short time. In spite of
the debt the prospects were bright
and he was full of the optimism of the
healthy man to whom the future was
a vision of certain health. wealth and
happiness.
An agent of the Idaho State Life In
surance Company of Boise called on
him to get his application for policy
of life insurance, but the protests of
his wife joined to his optimism and to
the knowledge of the debt hanging over
him weighed heavier than the argu-
ments of the agent.
Two weeks later he was taken with
Spinal Meningitis, and in 48 hours he
was dead.
The time when the mortgage will be
foreclosed is approaching, and unless
outside help comes his widow and chill
dren will be forced to start afresh
without the benefit of the labors of the
husband and father, which, at small
expense, could have been saved to
them had he listened to the advice of
the apostle for the prevention of pow
erty." the despised Life Insurance
Agent. Delay is dangerous, but espe
cially dangerous is delay in taking
Life Insurance during the time of
health and strength, and no man so
needs insurance as the man of family
who is in debt.
