Banker Finds Direct Avenue
To the Public Mind.

Today is a time when the people
read. Principally do the people read
newspapers and the newspapers are
the means of entertaining more peo-
pie than any other agency in the world.
These facts are not mere opinions of
newspapermen, but they come from
business men who have Investigated
conditions to find the best avenue
through which the human mind can
be reached.
Last week when the Missouri
and were discussing the best means
of increasing the savings deposits of
the bank, r. L. Quincy, manager of
the savings department of the Com
monwealth Trust Company, of st.
Louis, urged newspaper space exclu-
sively for banking advertising-sys-
tematie and continuous advertising
Among other things he said:
1.-The first step, and it is of para
mount Importance. is to decide to
spend your advertising appropriation
buying newspaper space only. You
will find it a hard matter to adhere
rigidly to this decision, but it will pay
well to do so. Your bank is for all
classes of people, and there's no way
to present your appeal for new bust
ness to all classes except by means of
the local newspaper. 1t not only
reaches all classes, but goes into every
home; here it is read by each member
of the family. The daily newspaper
is a controlling factor in the daily life
of every man and woman, and We
ought to say-every boy and girl-for
the children are such prolific readers
nowadays. Regardless of what other
forms of publicity you may employ,
you must carry your advertisement in
the newspaper continually if you would
have your appeal for business reach
the maximum number of people"
This is indeed a tribute to the worth
of advertising and by a man who
knows what he is talking about, be-
cause he has had experience. 1t Is a
fact that the banks of the country
which have conducted systematic and
Thorough advertising campaigns have
felt well repaid and continue to ad
vertise.
If it pays the banks. then it pays
every line of business which depends
upon the patronage of the public.
Professional men claim that it is I'M
ethical to advertise, yet the men whom
the professional men denonnce as fakes
are becoming rich becaus, they adver-
t;se what they can do.
By telling the truth in an attractive
form in the local newspaper the public
can be reached in a better way than
in any other. The ones who are using
advertising space in the best local pa
pers are getting results the world over.
This is day when the public reads.

The Interstate Fair, Pensacola's
greatest attraction in many years, is
over and her thousands of visitors

of the greatest agricultural events of
the south, No movement in recent
years has attracted more attention and
awakened greater enthusiasm among
the farmers of West Florida and South
Alabama than the fair just held in the
Deep Water City.
Pensacola is justly proud of a
movement such as the fair proved to
be in advertising her as the coming
metropolis of the south. 1t not only
advertised Pensacola, but surrounding
country, and thus builds up a strong
backing for great city.
Every section of West Florida and
South Alabama will be benefited as
a result of this great agricultural dis
play. 1t will demonstrate the fact
that we have the land and can pro-

FIGHT ON WOOL
SEEMS LIKELY
Conflict Of Views in Con-
greSs Certain.
DEMOCRATS TO CUT DEEP

Expected to Report a Tariff for Reve-
nue. Only, While the Standpat EIe-
ment Will Insist on a Reduction of
Not Over rs Per Cent of the Pres
ent Rates.
Washington, Dec. 22--After digest
ing President Taft's wool message
members of all factions in the house
and senate agreed that the message
and the report of the tariff board
practically settled nothing so far as
the probable legislation on the wool
schedule at this session is concerned.
II Is now certain that the standpat
elements in both houses will report on
a bill revising the wool schedule in al
most exact accord with the recon-
mendations of the president.
Those most familiar with the wool
schedule predict they will offer re.
duction in the neighborhood of 25 per
cent on the average, although they as
sert that as result of the showing OF
the tariff board horizontal cut of SO
per cent can be made throughout the
whole wool schedule without disturb
ing the wool industry or lowering the
prices to the consumer.
The Democrats are equally certain
to report a tariff for revenue only re
vision of wool schedule.
The original Underwood bill of last
session approximated an average re
duction OF all wool rates OF nearly sc
per cent.
1t is certain that several details OF
this bill will have to be modified as
pointed out by President Taft, because
the information furnished by the tariff
board indicates strongly that both the
Payne law and the Underwood bill
owing to a lack OF information madN
some rates too high and others toe
low.
Whether the Democrats will lowel
their average reduction or not will bt
for the decision of a majority of ways
and means committee and a Demo
cratic house caucus to determine.
The wool bill which actually passed
congress last summer as a result o.
progressive Republican Democrat,
coalition in the senate reduced tn,
wool schedule approximately 40 pc
cent all along the line and appears, il
the light OF tariff board report, to hav,
been the nearest guess yet made legis
on protective principles should be.

Delegate Wickersham Talks
of Conditions There.
WANTS FEDERAL CONTROL
Would Give the Government the Right
to Dictate Price and Mode of Trans
portation From the Colliery to the
consumer-charees That Even the
Courts Are Dominated by the Gug-
genheim-Morgan Interests.

st. Paul, Dec. 22-Federal control,
said James Wickersham, progressive
Republican delegate to congress from
Alaska, Is the only salvation for Alas
ka. AS things are now, Mr.. Wicker
sham says, the Guggenheim Morgan
interests control not only the territory
but the real seat of the territorial gov
ernment, which is In Washington.
Even the Alaskan courts, which he ad-
mits are of the best Uncle Sam has
anywhere, are more or less dominated
by this combination, he declares.
"The act of 1908, drawn by Clifford
Pjnchot and James r.. Garfield" said
MIR. Wickersham, ''is about the only
saving legislation that has ever been
enacted for the territory. That act
provides that no company, corporation
or single individual shall own or con-
troll more than 1850 acres of land in
the territory. II any one secures con-
troll of more the title reverts to the
government.
But as proof that the interests
are not defeated and are still schem-

sources of the territory, the plan for
leasing the Alaskan coal lands has
been reopened In congress, with a
great chance that 1t will be adopted
