Does Advertising Pay!

A well known Atlanta clothing
firm had thirty-one seven column
pages of advertising matter in one
of the Atlanta dailies last Friday,
which cost about $4,000 for the one
issue.
Does it pay? Well. if it does not,
why do the leading retail merchants
of Atlanta keep On spending, every
week in the year, large sums of
money in that way? The Atlanta
merchants are known as the most
enterprising business men in this
section of the South, and if an
expensive campaign of advertis-
ing kept up for many years past did
not pay them handsomely in returns,

it does not seem that they would
abandon it.
But the very best merchants in
Atlanta would no more think of
doing business without advertising
than they would do without a shrewd,
keen manager. Advertising pays

stick to it so closely and at such

Why is a Pledge

The dilemma into which several
more or less distinguished democrats
have forced themselves by filing for
nomination ON the populist ticket as
well as their own recently prompted
The Bee to inquire of what force and
effect is the pledge required by law as
part of the filing ito abide by the re-
suit of the primary and qualify il
elected" The Bee suggested that if
this pledge means anything 1t must
mean that the successful candidate in
each primary is legally bound to stay
in the game and go through irrespec-
tive OF whether he is successful or TN
successful in landing on any other
ticket. To this the Red Cloud Argus,
a little paper published not far from
the home precinct of Governor Shall
lenberger, declares:
Does The Bee insinuate that shallen-
berger is under obligation to run on the
populist ticket, because he received the
populist nomination, and swore that he
would qualify, If nominated? We do not
agree with The Bee Undoubtedly Shall
lenberger, when he took the oath, meant
only that he would qualify as a candidate
for election in case of his nomination on
both the democratic and pbpulist tickets
1t was not for moment supposed that
the oath obligated him to run on one
ticket when he was a candidate on two
tickets, especially since It was we'll known
that he regarded the populist nomination
as a secondary affair, humble auxiliary
to the democratic nomination.
That sounds fine, but suppose the
situation reversed and Governor Shall
lenberger, nominated on the demo-
cratic ticket and beaten for the popu-
list nomination, would the oath Ito
abide by the result of the primary and
qualify if elected" be appealed to in
case the populist nominee called on
him TO retire in his favor? Should the
populist dog wag the democratic tail,
or should the democratic dog wag the
populist tail?
The same point is raised as to a
local situation presented by the Argus
in which one of the candidates for
nomination in the primary, who re-
ceiVed a minority of the votes, pro-
poses, nevertheless, to become an in
dependent candidate Does the pledge
he took Ito abide by the result of the
primary" disqualify him from accept
ing petition nomination and running
against the man who beat him out?
If the pledge has any binding force 1t
would, of course, be equally binding on
the defeated as on the successful
candidate. If this pledge, which was
designed to make majority rule effec-
tive, means nothing or is unenforci-
BILE. then the primary race is simply a
trial heat, leaving the entries free to
drop out or run again at their own
sweet will.

Employers Liability Waste.

John Mitchell points out that $7O,-

1894 to 1905 and he is advocating the
compensation system as a means of
preventing this needless expenditure
of money and giving both employer
and employee better results. MIR. Nit

says;

The Eucharistic Congress

No religious convention ever held
on this continent surpasses in notable
significance or numbers the euchar-
istic congress now in session at Mont
real. Villa Marie never before has
felt such an impulse of pious zeal.
From every land on the globe 1856
archbishops and bishops, hundreds of
priests and more than 100000 lay
men are there assembled to revivify
their faith, the faith of the Catholic
church, in the eucharist. The pope
sends his personal representative in
the venerable Cardinal Vannutelli and
through him transmits his message of
love to the faithful; the king of
England sends his personal message a
circumstance whose significance can
not be lost sight of in the light of his
tory and tradition, and other great
powers are in some way represented
The sacrament of the Lords supper
in its solemn meaning to the Christian
world must always be Kept alive If the
faith is to flourish and this is a fact
which the great Catholic church has
ever recognized. 1t is little less thar
astounding to the world to pause and
think OF hundreds of thousands OF me1
coming from all lands and vast dis
tances for the common purpose of re
newing their allegiance to this bond, o.
pouring the libation of their hearts OF
this single altar OF devotion, but the
wonder is lost in the appreciation o.
the one great truth. The spirit tina
moves them and holds them in thii
simple faith is the same that for cen
turtles inspired the search for the Hol!
Grail and that holds together million,
of men and women OF all nations IL
one faith.

control, such directness of purpose

Upheaval IN California

The republicans Of California have
taken the first step to relieve that
state from the thrall OF railroad
domination after a period Of thirty
years. That is the meaning OF the
nomination OF Hiram Johnson for gov
ernor, which is being so widely
heralded as triumph OF "insur-
gency." Those familiar with the facts
know that long ago Californians began
their revolt against this Southern Pa
cific domination. The results of the
recent primaries are simply the cul-
mination of this revolt
The republicans OF California did
precisely what the republicans of Ne
braska did ten years ago-they finally
woke up to the realization that the
sovereignty of power rested in the
people and not in private corpor-
alton or two, and that they did not
have to endure corporation control of
decided to take into their own hands
the business OF running the state gov
eminent. They have yet TO complete
the Job by making MIR. Johnson their
governor, which they undoubtedly will
do in November.
Since the thrilling days OF the
Mussel Slough warfare, which was
nothing more nor less than struggle
between rightful settlers and the
Southern Pacific for homesteads in the
heart OF the San joaquin valley, until
the present, the power of that railroad
has been dominant in California af-
fairs and whether 1t was exercised by
Coils P. Huntington or E. II. Harri-
man or his successors, matters not
It was exercised with the same grim
tyranny, and the people have paid for
II in fearful toll. And now the struggle
in this primary election which has re-
suited in the nomination of Hiram
Johnson is no more of an insufgeni
victory than such a result would have
been in 1880, except insofar as insur.
gency stands for the tangible ex-
preston of the righteous indignation
of sovereign people against the op
preston of private powers seeking sci
fish privileges.

Yet the employer has himself to blame
for It. II he prefers to pay out in law
yers' fees and court costs STO,OOO,OOO
rather than let that amount go into
the naturalization OF injured work
men or their families. that is his look
out and what consequent losses he sus-
tains through such a system entities
him to no commiseration. But it is
strange that he would prefer such a
thing. His interests, as well as those
of industry in general, would be far
better subserved by a system of Tea-
sonable compensation that would not
place his employe on the defensive
and force him to fight through tedious
and expensive court trials.
Whether It is right or not that in
dustry should bear the burden of the
pecuniary loss sustained by workihen
as a result Of accidents, 1t is fact
that industry has to bear the burden
of pecuniary loss sustained in the wear
and tear OF it's inahimate machinery.
1t is a matter that demands attention
and the president and congress are
giving it attention. In recent state
ment, President Taft refers to this
very problem as one that must-soon
be settled, and If it can be settled by
the joint counsel of employer and en-
ploye It will be so much better for all
irterests

The decision in the centuries-old
fisheries controversy between Great
Britain and the United States, while it
gives to the English the one point that
they most desired and contended for,
yet gives to the Americans five out of
seven points and therefore represents
a substantial victory, in a way. In ad-
dition to the outcome this presenta-
ton of the case to The Hague tribunal
is distinct triumph for Senator Elihu
Root, whose six-days speech has been
pronounced the greatest ever made to
this international court of arbitration.
Yet, when the time comes, certain
newspaper enemies of Mr.. Root will
caricature him as a mere puppet of the
money powers, willing to deceive their
own readers into the belief, for per-
sonal reasons, that he is not one of the
giant intellectual forces of the world.
