TALKS
BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

A recent contest inaugurated by the
Rice Electric Display company gave a
striking illustration of the interest taken
in advertising by men and women all over
the world.
The company offered a first prize of
So. 900 in cash and a silver trophy for the
greatest number of advertising ideas pre-
sented: a second prize of $1,000 Tor the
next greatest number, and third prize
of $500. They also said they would pay
s1.00 for every idea that was accepted
from other contestants
The first prize was won by Roy L. Nc
CardweH, the we'll known special news
paper writer, and it was said he stood
without a rival in submitting the great
est number of ideas that were accepted
The second prize was divided equally
between Miss H. l. Enander, music
teacher of Chicago, and +. 5. Andrews,
manager of one of the branches of the
Prudential Insurance company OF Newark
The third prize divided among five
people-H. A. Fromm, Massachusetts
accountant; F. W. Sell an electrical en-
gineer of Pittsburg; F. ID. Jones, ula-
mond dealer of Chicago; F. l. Crosby,
mechanical engineer of Pittsburg, and Lee
Austin, of Dayton, Ohio
There were 1872 other contestants who
receive awards from S1.00 upward. and
among this number were school teachers,
we'll known magazine writer's, and many
notable newspaper men, and many of the
contestants wrote in from foreign coun-
Does not this show that the appeal of
advertising is universal?
A remarkable thing about the contest
was that while $50 professional adver-
Using writer's participated, the big awards
went to people outside of the advertising
profession. although Mr.. McCardell, the
winner of the first prize. has written
several advertisements, but that is not his
regular business
Advertising writing offers a great field
TO the specially writer's. Signed stories,
nv men of ability, about business institu-
tons labeled advertising. are of much
interest to the public as news stories, and
their business building qualities are cor
respondingly great.

CHAPTER xxxu.

EExcuse US! Colonel Roosevelt confirms
State Journals position.l
Perhaps the state Journal is moi
feeling pretty good this evening!
A position on the presidential situa-
ton was taken editorial1y in this pa
per October 20 and reiterated as late
as Saturday last.
Colonel Roosevelt seems to confirm
the position by the statement printed
on our first page. See "Clinches It"
This paper has been almost alone

parties taking a contrary view and
insisting on it.
Colonel Roosevelt of course did not

1T will be observed that in the
statement of Colonel Roosevelt made
through the Philadelphia North
American and printed by that paper
today, and also printed in the Assoc
ciated Press papers generally this
afternoon. that the Colonel, by no
word or implication, says that he will
not support Mr.. Taft or any other
man. who may be the Republican
nominee for president at the conven-
ton of 1912.
This statement from Col. Roosevelt
should set at rest the constant effort
to try to compel the colonel to do some
thing which apparently he does not
desire to do, has never intended to do,
and does not mean to do.
The statement should be one of
great satisfaction to President Taft
and is all that President Taft ought
to expect 1t is the opinion of the

KANSAS COMMENT
THE LEAK FROM CANADA.


It's a discoura ging thing for people who
are trying to fill tank to discover that
the level of the water does not rise N
proportion to the amount that Is poured
in. That is the predicament OF the cana
dams at the present time. They had kept
watch on the statistics of Immigration
into Canada, and had supposed that their
census would show a population OF more
than eight millions. But the census Is
practically completed-its results are ap-
proximately known, and the fact is star
ing the Canadians in the face that Cana
da's population is not far from seven mil
Uons-that somewhere there is a leak
that many people who land in Canada
get away
Sir Donald Mann, one Of the builders
of the new Canadian Northern railway

49, sHERMAN NV.

The difficulty surrounding the proper
extension of the Sherman act are strlk-
ingly shown in the attempt TO uslnte-
CRATE the Tobacco Trust. The United
States court in New York heard argu-
ment for and against the plan Of disco
luton proposed by the trust and an an
swer was filed by Attorney General
Wickersham which shows that he IS
doubtful whether or not the plan would
restore competition.
The Tobacco Trust, in response to the
ruling of the Supreme Court, is trying TO
dissolve. 1t proposes to separate INTO
four properties, which shall be wholly
separate and competitive The independ-
ents object to this on the ground that
the business would still be controlled by
the men controlling the trust Mr. WICK
ersham does not object to the general
plan but he suggests that the govern
ment be given the right to attack the plan
a any time within five years, II II shoulo
appear that competition is not secured
The case of the Steel Trust is still more
complicated in a sense. The Iopacco
Trust was adjudged monopoly, ana II
must he segregated. But there is no PROOF
whatever that the Steel Trust is monop-
DIV It may be a combination in restraint
of trade but the line between due and un-
due restraint of trade is shadOwy, and 1t
may be impossible to determine whether
the form and operations OF the steel
Trust are in violation of the spirit OF the
sherman act. 1t may be proved that the
public is benefited by the consolidation OF
the steel companies through stability OF
n1.ices maintenance of wages, and recog-
milton of the rights of independents. Tech
nicalIv the Steel Trust may be condemned
while on broad grounds of public policy
the court may hold that the trust is not
essentially a Violator of law ashington
