PROFESSOR KIBLER CATCHES
ON TO MY PLAN.

Dear Sir:-You have set the pace
for new sort Of political campaign
one which brings the people-"Old
Man Peepul', you call him-into the
Hmelight, and makes the despised
and neglected country "Reubens''
the militant aggressors against de-
Hnquent congressman. Heretofore,
it has generally been the case that
Congressional campaigns were pie
hunting expeditions, with the people
left out You are on the right track.
Let the people assert their rights
and demand when Congressman de-
sert their constituents like the
tWenty-three Cannon Democrats did.
and as the stand-pat Aldrich Repub-
Icans have been doing all the time,
that there shall be a day of reckon
Ing. Every time a Congressman
votes for corporations and trusts
let him be slaughtered at the ballot
box without mercy. Accept none of
their oily excuses-away with 'em.
But, Mr.. Watson, you have struck
another keynote that should echo
from one end of the country to the
other. Congressman should be re-
CURED to stay at Washington and
work for the dear people" till Con-
gress adjourns. They are elected to
legislate, not to electioneer for re-
election. They are paid to make
laws in the interest of the whole
people and not to keep THEIR OWN
political fences in repair. When
they quit their posts of duty to spar
for place in the next election, they
should be elected to stay at home,
as you argue. This is sound Demo-
cratic doctrine.
Now l hope you will keep on ham
mering on this point till you bring
some of our national 'Honorables'
to sense of honor, and till the peo-
pie make them perform their duty
as servants Of their constituents.

DOESN'T CARE FOR SOCIALISM
NOW.
NOW

Dear Sir:-I heartily endorse your
views. I have read a great deal of
Socialism, thought that [ liked their
doctrine, except the land question;
could not see how they were going to
equalize that matter, but you have
satisfied me on that point. [ believe
you are actuated by principle Of
right and a love for humanity
know what it is to step aside from
the beaten paths of custom, it takes
nerve and backbone, and l admire
that trait in you. [ am going to try
to send in some subscribers to the
Jeffs soon. I believe if every man in
this country would lay aside preju-
dice and creedism, take your papers
and let resaon have sway, they would
agree with you on those vital Ques-
tiOns. Yours respectfully,

one will say, if we have compulsory
education it will cause the negro to
be educated. Why my soul alive, man,
the negroes of my State don't
need any compulsion to make them
go to school. They just go any way,
if they have to go half clad with only
a piece Of corn bread and a little
black molasses to eat. So we need
not fear any bad consequences from
that source. I do sincerely hope that
the time is not far distant when
every white boy and girl in the South

HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS
FOR CONGRESSMAN w. @.
HOWARD, OF THE FOURTH
GEORGIA DISTRICT, TO AN
SWER. HIS CONSTITUENTS
SHOULD COMPEL HIM TO EX-
PLAIN.
Before you finish calling the roll
on the Rucker proposition, you
should also call W. G. Adamson, of
the Fourth District, and, when do
ing SO, demand of him an answer as
to why he secured an appointment
in Washington for old "Sank"
Farmer, a copper-colored negro. Get
him to tell the people why he got an
appointment for a little outlet
headed negro from Carrollton by
the name of Geo. MCGEE. When
you have done this, you will receive
another matter to handle. 1t will
have with it a photograph and full
information. I am your friend, and
will never mislead you.

Edwards swing around the Yankee

King George was entertained in
America as the prince Of Wales also,
but he had arrived only on its east

celebration and did not go into the
interior. In fact, he did not leave
the feet, as he merely took part In
Boston and New York receptions to
members of the fleet and then sailed

Advertising
IN THE SUMMER
Lack Of Optimism on Part Of soliet-
tors May Cause Failing on at
This Time.

Before a recent business meeting OF
the New York Times staff, Ernest J.
Preston. manager of the Daily News
paper club, discussed 1.-THE Decline Of
Advertising In the Summer" He gave
various eason why advertising
should be kept up during the hot sea-
son above all other times of the year,
and said that it may not be all the
fault of the advertiser that he lets his
publicity fall of In the summer but
that some of it may be brought about
by the lack of optimism on the part
OF the advertising solicitor.
1T is as senseless for an adver-
tiser to stop his advertising-to break
the effect Of repetition-to quit firing
at that great SO per cent. of the indif-
ferent, thoughtless, obstinate public"
said Mr.. Preston, "as it would be for
the engineer to let his fires go out
or the chauffeur to let his power and
speed go down on approaching a hill.
THE public must be told the story
of a product without the cessation of
a month or two, for it has been proven
that 1t costs twice as much to get
back into the former commanding po-
sftion than 1t would have cost to keep
the attention with some shots each
week. even II the full schedule was
not maintained.
Tell your customers to advertise
to the people that are staying al home
there's a hundred times as many re-
naming here as go away. Some per-
sons believe that the people read less
In the summer than in the winter, but
l don't believe it.
You have a hundred reasons to give
why a line should be persistently ad-
vertised in the summer as any other
time. Personally you get hungry in
the summer-you read in the summer
you may TAKE things a tri1e easy
but you don't let up. It's not human
nature to let up, SO bring that to the
attention of the man who should spend
some money in the display columns
and see if a good bunch of optimism
plus some good common sense
won't make them look at things in a
light that VIII enable you to obtain
the name on the dotted line"

cost much but give little results and

MERIT ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS
Advertising Can Never Build LASTING
Results Unless Product Is
Worthy.

Points in advertising are thus
summed up by the Chicago CONNER
cial Journal: First, the advertise
ment must attract the eye second.
present convincing argument; third,
reach buyers of product offered;
fourth, be read at the right time;
afth, be continuous for a long period
Immediate results being rare" One
point omitted Is that merit must be
the basis to secure lasting success.
Inferior articles may be pushed to a
large scale, but quickly become dis
credited when buyers are disappoint-
ed. Many advertisers overlook all
these factors. They fail to arrest the
attention and so to prove the need
of what they have for sale, and they
expect n charge or an occasional
careless shot will bring down the
game. Some stop advertising when
their business Is dull. though energet-
&c men are apt to feel that is the time
to make greater effort. Periods of de-
preston also call for closer economy
in production and those who look
ahead are open to arguments on the
advantages Of a change Of machinery
and material. They have time then
to think about 1t. In printing, the
dull season for some houses is the
busy season for others. It is rarely
that any Of them close entirely for a
single day. except Sunday. The ad.
vertiser who omits any issue of the
right medium takes chances of miss.
ing sales he would otherwise have
made.

AD-ISMS.
Advertising is the insur-

Advertising is the insur-
ance which the shrewd
merchant carries to pre-
vent the disturbance of his
business by the sudden ap-
pearance of a competitor
in his field. BY his adver-
Using he has led the people
to form the habit of buying
at his store. Habits are
not so easily broken up as
some may imagine. BY his
advertising he has also ex-
banded the volume Of his
business, so that the ap-
pearance of a competitor
has less effect than It
otherwise might have. A
new competitor may be
able to get a few of the
merchants customers, but
cannot reach that great
mass of them who have
been patrons through years
as a result of his wide ad-
vertising.
