During the campaign Taft, Roosevelt
and the whole push of smaller fry said
it wouldn't do to have publicity be-

The democratic party years ago de-
clared in favor of enforcing publicity
of contributions with the names of
contributors, so the people may know
not only the amount of money used
for campaign purposes, but also that

British in the Transvaal, now heads a
British cabinet which is to govern the
four richest colonies in the dark con-

Governor Harmon's Reply.

Mr.. Bryan's editorial calling upon
Governor Harmon to indicate why he
did not urge the democratic state
committee of Ohio to include the Sc
lection of a candidate for United
States senator in its call for state
convention, has elected this reply
from the Ohioan:
81 am convinced that it would be
best to elect senators by direct vote
of the people
In Ohio, this year. the sentiment
among the democrats has been that
the matter should be left to the mem
bers of the legislature and their con-
stituents. 1t was so strong that
though a number of prominent men
aspire to the seratorship, none of
them took advantage of our new pri-
mary law to go before the voters as
they might have done.
Mr.. Bryan's opinion is always en-
titled to the greatest respect, but
am confident that his long absence
has made him unfamiliar with the
present peculiar conditions in Ohio
and that if he knew them, as they
are known here, he would see the
good policy of emitting the senator
ship from consideration by the con-
vention"

Newspaper Advertising Pays.

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company, the first concern of
the kind in the United States to adopt
systematic plan Of newspaper adver-
Using for the purpose of reducing the
item in its profit and loss account oc-
casioned by the payment of damages
for personal injury, after one years
trial announces that advertising pays.
About one year ago the plan was
adopted of inserting display advertise.
ments in the daily newspapers. These
were changed at frequent intervals
and were illustrated at times showing
the right and the wrong way to alight
from a car. In each car also has been
carried card bearing reading matter
to the same effect. The instructions
borne upon the card and the newspa-
per advertising contained an appeal
to the public couched in courteous
terms, and were generally directed to
the women patrons. Appeals were also
made to the public for cooperation in
preventing accidents.
The officials report that as a result
of this advertising campaign the num-
Der of accidents has been decreased 20
per cent with a constantly increasing
traffic. So successful has the plan
proven that the company this year has
doubled its appropriation for newspa-
per advertising.
1t is the same in every business
advertising pays if it is properly and
persistenly followed.
