ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM e. FREEMAN.

One of the reasons all news
papers do not get all the gen.
sral advertising that really be-
longs to them is the jealousy
and knocking" done by
newspaper representatives
who do not happen to get the
first copy put out by a new adj
vertiser.
In a big city not long ago a
concern wanted to try out
newspaper advertising. They
selected an agent who knew
his business and after some
discussion decided to use
ONE newspaper.
This newspaper was Sc
lected because they wanted to
reach the members of the clubs
in that city, and they knew
that this newspaper was read
by them.
1t was the managers inten-
ton to spend about $4,000 in
this newspaper, and he had an
idea he would be able to show
his associates sufficient re-
turns to justify EXTENDING
THE CAMPAIGN and using
some other newspapers.
The advertising appeared a
few times, and the represen-
tativeS of the other newSpa-
perS in town called on the
agent to see if they would get
the business.
The agent told them frank
ly the advertisers purpose, but
this did not satisfy them and
they went over the agents
head and called on the adver-
tiSer himself.
Instead of offering him Sug-
gestion or cooperating with
him in any way, they re-
marked how foolish he was to
use this one newspaper, which
hadn't a large circulation, and
they so disguised he adver-
tiSer that HE STOPPED THE
CAMPAIGN ALTOGETHER
and diverted to another CITY
the $4,000 he had intended
to spend in newspapers in the
first city.
So the city where he wanted
to gradually develop business
killed him off as an advertiser
through the asinine Solicita-
ton of the newspaper repre-
sentativeS who did not get the
first copy.
Until newspaper represen-
tativeS are willing to cooper
dle Win eaCn OtGeT - until
they are willing TO encourage
The advertiser despite the fact
that he may use some other
paper than their own, it is 60
ing to be hard to develop news
paper advertising on broad
lines.
HONORABLE COMPETI-
TON is all right enough, but
the kind Of competition that
tries to build by tearing down
somebody else is a menace 10
he development Of business.

President Nudge Of Rock Island
Talks on 1911 Conditions.
Thinks Gross Earnings VIII De-
crease Compared With 1910.
NO MORE STRIKES.
Interest of Public Will Settle
All General Matters.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

Here isswhat President H. U. Nudge,
OF the Rock Island, @prognosticates for
the new year:
"(1.) In my opinion the trend of gross
on level with 1910: the trend Of net
earnings will be downward, even should
the gross increase slightly.
''(2-) The physical condition of the
railways as a whole, is equal and per-
haps little better than in other recent
years. tt
''(3.) The so-called idea of scientific
management is not a new one, but has
been we'll considered by railway operat-
ing men for number of years. The
theory advanced to the interstate COM
merce commission. as I understand it,
is that labor should be more efficient,
and if more efficient it would take less
of it, thereby reducing the aggregate
of the payrofls while increasing the
earnings of individuals.
Unit costs have already been greatly
reduced through better efficiency and
possibly can be further reduced, but OPP
Grating officials who have devoted their
lives to this work do not believe that
sufficient reductions can be made to Off
set the increased cost of operation
through government regulations, such
as the safety appliance law, the nine
hour day for telegraphers, employers
liability law, self-c1eaning ash pan law,
electric headlight laws, and the full
crew laws IN various states, add1t1Onal
cost of accounting, filing tariffs, ETC.,
and increased wages to a large number
of men whose work is SUCH that no in
creased efficiency can be hoped for. Any
large saving through scientific manage
ment' must be preceded by large ex-
penditureS for new plant.
90 The most conclusive argument
in favor of the proposed increase in
freight rates is comprised in the above
and in the further fact that large re-
auctions have been made in the aver
age rates through state legislation,
state regulation, and in number of
decisions made by the interstate COM
rnerce commission in various rate con-
troversies between communities, such
as the Missouri river case, the Spokane
case. the Texas cattle rate case, and
some others. If there are not some up
ward revisions to partially Offset the
downward revisions, the lower level OF
rates will soon wipe out any margins
that may still exist.
"(5) My view Of the railway labor
problem is that there will be very few,
if any, more general strikes of railway
employees; that, on account of the in
terest of the public in a continuous op-
grafton of the railways, all important
wage controversies that cannot be AMIGA
bly, settled will be referred to some
tribunal for arbitration. and eventually
such tribunal of wage-nlakers will have
to be correlated witt The tribunal of
makers"

HERMANN CHOSEN PRESIDENT
National Commission Adopts 154
Game Schedule to Open April 12.

Cincinnati, Jan. 4.-For the eighth
successive time, August Hermann of
this city was selected chairman of the

Ter and Barney Dreyfuss, president of
the Pittsburg club, met with President
Ban B. johnson. who represented the
American league schedule committee,
and announced that while the sched-
ules for the two leagues had been
practically completed and adopted.
nothing would be announced at this
time.
It was said unoffcially, however,
that the two seasons would open on
the same day, which probably would
be April H. 1t was also said the two

Railroad Notes.

The Rock Island, Frisco and Santa
Fe companies have installed oil-burn-
ing engines on their main lines
through Oklahoma and may extend
their use even to the branch lines.
It is announced that beginning to-
day all Rock Island conductors in Ok
lahoma will collect 10 cents additional
fare when a passenger pays cash fare,
which will be redeemable at all ticket
offices if presented within year. This
system is being inaugurated, it is said,
to keep a check upon the cash fares.
John L. Stevens, one of the best
known locomotive engineers on the
New York Centrafs western division,
has been retired under the pension
rules, after continuous service of
more than fifty years.
With reference to the coming re-
tirement in February of c. E. Pugh,
first vice president of the Pennsylvan-
ia, under the age limit of the pension
department, it has been intimated that
it may not bring promotion to other
men in the service, as was thought
likely a short time ago.
With the signing of contracts this
week the Erie is to eliminate certain
grade crossings in Buffalo. The work
will cost the company about 100000
and will take five years to complete.
Trains on the Union Pacific. Rock
Island and Santa Fe are still running
behind time on account of the cold
weather. Wire trouble, engine failures
and storms are the cause.

NEW LINES FOR OKLAHOMA.
Midland Valley Preparing for Work of
Extension North and South.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 4.-That the
Midland valley railroad, now operat-
ing from Fort Smith, Ark, northwest
across Oklahoma to Arkansas City,
Kansas, is preparing to become a big
trunk line was evidenced by its action,
during the past week, in filing two
mortgages at Muskogee. One is for
100000 and the other for $6,000,
600, both in favor of the Girards Trust
company of Philadelphia. The pur-
pose of the loans, as set forth is to
secure funds for the extension of it's
lines, the purchase of equipment and
to provide a method for retirement of
former loans. For several months
surveying parties have been in the field
working on the proposed extension of
the Midland Valley from Arkansas
City through Mcpherson and, Wichita
to Kansas City, and also an extension
ultimately from Fort Smith to the gulf.
At Mcpherson the road will connect
with the Union Pacific. A number of
Philadelphia capitalists, who backed
the construction of the old Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf road from Mem
phis. Tenn, to Amarillo, Texas, are
behind the Midland Valley, including
it's president, Mr.. Ingersoll.

field for several weeks mapping out a
route for the proposed Buffalo &

A UTAH-GRAND CANYON LINE.
If Carried Through Would Serve Three
Western Systems.


ST. Louis, Jan. 4.-Frank A. Dud-
ley of Niagara Falls, resident of the
projected Utah and Grand Canyon,
says that the building of the road will
begin as soon as contracts can be let
and the weather permits. t"Our COM
pany" says Mr.. Dudley, has been in
vestigating the resources of southern
Utah and northern Arizona for more
than two years, and while they are
not as great as represented, or. at
least, we do not think SO. we have
reached the conclusion that they are
sufficient for q railroad, and we will
try to assist in their development.
"a triangle can be drawn in Utah,
Nevada and Arizona, which contains
a greater area than the New England
states and Maryland added. that is not
touched by railroads. 1t is a country
that is so rich in natural resources and
scenery that it is a wonder it was not
covered at least in part by a railroad
years ago." --s..
The intention is to take over the in
terest of the Utah Southern, incor-
porated more than a year ago. The
principal offices of the company will
be in New York until construction is
under way, when they will be moved
to Salt Lake City. The survey for
this new road shows two lines-one
from Marysville on the Denver & Rio
Grande, to the Grand Canyon, and the
other from Lund, on the Salt Lake
Route, through St. George to Search
the Santa Fee. Such a road means
connection with three great transcon-
tinenta1 ines-the Denver & Rio
Grande, and the Western Pacific, the
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Salt
Lake Route and the Santa Fe.
