WHEN ADVERTISING
2 BEGAN.

M. Tn these times when adver-
Using ones business or wares has
been reduced to a fine science, it
would be interesting for one who is
engaged in it to know who was the
| first to introduce it to the world and
when. 1 have several times sought
information on the subject. but never
with any degree OF success. Can The
Times enlighten me?
Advertising in some form or other
is really as old as the institution OF
buying and selling. In the days of
ancient Rome and Athens merchants
were wont to employ "%barkers," or
| criers, who went about the streets
shouting out the ware and allu.ing
prices of their employers. They
howled about bargains" in those
| days and caused rushes of trade, we
may suppose, just as the advertise
ments of to-day draw the throngs Of
shoppers.
Presently came written notices
that were displayed on blank walls
for the e%dification of the purchasing
public. In the early days Of London
the shopkeepers had clerks who were
stationed in front Of the stores to
shout their wares much after the
fashion that used to obtain in Baxter
street, when the barker" came into
his own. These clerks were wont to
preface their vocal advertisement of
wares by shouting:
what do We lack? What do ye
lack?"
The first genuine newspaper adver-
tisement of which there appears to be
any authentic record was printed in
The Mercurius Politicus in London in
January, 1852. 1t vas a publishers
announcement. and read thus:
"Irenodia Gratulatoria, an Heroick
Poem," being a congratulatory pane
gyrick for my Lord Generals late
return, summing up his successes in
an exquisite manner. To be sold by
John Holden, in the New Exchange,
London. Printed by Tho. Newcourt,
1852.
The new method of letting the pub
lie know where it could get what it
wanted was quickly snapped up, but
in it's early stages it furnishes some
most remarkable examples of adver-
Using. One of these quaint notices,
appearing in q London publication
soon after the introduction of news
paper advertising, reads thus:
THE PUBLICK WILL PLEASE
TAKE NOTICE.-There a away
from my place on Thursday of last
week an apprentice boy, called Dick
Noodler, with a smutty complexion,
and black teeth, and he is as ugly as
sin. Ten shillings deward will be
paid to any person bringing him back
to me.
Soon afterward this remarkable no
tice appeared in a Dublin newspaper,
supposedly one of the first newspaper
advertisements in Ireland:
RAN AWAY FROM PATRICK
Observation-Disclosures my wife,
Mrs. Bridget McDallagh, has gone
away with herself and left me with
her four small children and her poor
blind mother, and nobody else to look
after the home and house, and I hear

lame fiddler, the same that was put in
the stocks last Easter for stealing
| Bardy Doody's gamecock. this is to
give notice that I will not pay for

Warships Of Uncle Sam to the value

Waterways and Good Roads.

The cu~stodians of the pork barrel
in Congress. or, as they prefer to be
known, trainers of the annual rivers
and harbors bill. have brought in a
measure proposing to expend the COM
ing fiscal year the sum of 52,000,-
900 upon waterways throughout the
country.
Senator Burton. chairman of the
National Waterways Commission and
an undisputed authority, is vigorously
fighting the proposition. He is
against piecemeal work, in the first
place, and, V + is Of impor-
lance, he is eL:.rely opposed to many
of these iridescent and impractical
projects.
No level-headed man objects, per
Sc, to the symmetrical improvement
of waterways in this country. Navi-
gable rivers and harbors are indispen-
sable factors III the equation Of trans
p~ortation. We must have them If the
development of the nation is to pro-
coed. unimpeded.
But legitimate waterways are one
thing, and pork barrel projects an
other, and vastly different, thing. 1t
is a safe bet that forty per cent. OF
this $52,000,000 is political pork,
pure and simple, expressed in projects
to widen impossible creeks or dredge
hopeless harbors, neither of which
ever can or ever will figure if either
local or interstate commerce.
If half of this years proposed ap-
preparation should be diverted from
theoretic streams and hypothetical
harbors and spent instead on national
good roads projects, we should exper-
fence a national impulse toward pros
perity near incalculable.
Even %conceding for the sake of ar.
gument, that every penny of this fab
ulous $751; 900, 000-about the same
amount, by the way, thrown away in
obsolete warships now going to the
scrap-heap-is founded on reason, 1t
would still be incumbent on Congress
to provide at least proportionately for
good roads.

ment, lessening the ~exorbitant cost OF
living, increasing the national wealth,
so that in the nearfuture the immeas.

bear less heavily.
It is the peoples money that Con.
gress is frittering away to reinforce
personal political regulations. To-
day the people are demanding that a
portion of the sums taken from them
in taxes be spent upon good roads-a

Suffrage Wouldn't Help, She Says.

Grace Falkner, one Of the most
prominent workers of the Pennsylva-
mia Association Opposed to Woman's
Suffrage, has been making speeches
in various parts of Pennsylvania
against votes for women. women
do not want the VOTE" is her argu-
ment. "The women who would vote.
should this privilege be granted to
them, are those who would do as their
husbands or the local political leader
dictated. A good looking, soft
tongued politician easily could get all
the women mill workers from a dozen
mills to vote the way he wished. AS
for economic freedom, the average
workingman would be glad to have
his wife have as much Of this as pos
sible, for then his responsibilities
would grow less and hers greater.

nor will it close saloons. New York
