STIR OPPOSITION
TO THE MANN BILL
Medical Freedom VI EN- bers to
Appear This Morning.

Determined opposition will b+ ofere',
this morning to the Mann bill providing
for the change in the name and scope
OF the Public Health and Marine Hospi-
tai Service, at a hearing which will be
given By the House Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce.
\ formidable group Of men who are
fearful OF the results OF the passage OF
such bill have arrived in the city. and
will bc on hand to speak against It,
Prominent among them will be repre-
s+ntatires of the National League for
Medical Freedom. an organization com
posed Of broad minded doctors Of both
the allOpathc and homeopathic schools
of medicine. Christian Scientists. osteo-
paths. and others. The purpose of this
league and the reason for its oppOSi-
lion to the Mann bill. were outlined last
night by H. r.. LeSan. of the Lesan ad-
vertiSiug agency.
The aim and purpose OF the National
League for Medical Freedom. said Mr..
Lesssn. lis to safeguard. through educa-
ton and publicity. the rights of the
American people against unjust and op-
presslve laws. oStensibly related to the
subject OF health. IL has no other policy
or purpose. and its membership of prac-
tiSdhN -'"-''' - Noiiposeu oi
and friends of every school of healing.
They have come into the league not TO
proseyte their own peculiar contentious.
but TO work for the general good. The
league shows no faVOritiSm for one
method of healing over another. nor does
it tolerate the propaganda of any sect or
cult
We are against the Mann bill because
We feel certain that, while it is intended
primarily to secure deserved increase
In pay for the Surgeon General of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital Serv-
ice and his assistants. it is so framed as
TO afford an opportunity for certain spe-
cial interests among the medical profess
sion to secure greater domination over
the country than they now have We
have every reason to believe that il this
bill is enacted it will enable these inter-
ests to make il the basis Tor forming "A
bureau which will not treat all schools
of healing alike and which will tolerate
methods OF oppression and favoritism
which are not to be endured in this pro-
gressive day and generation.
We regret that il is necessary to take
a stand which is antaSonistic to the bill
which provides for a much-deserved in
crease in 10 for the officials of the Ma
rine Hospital Service. and we do il only
because of the objectionable features
which are attached to the measure in
troduced by Mr.. Mann.
Among those who will speak al the
hearing are former Lieut.. Gov. II. l..
Gordon, OF Ohio: State Senator l.. Ert
Slack. of Indiana: Col Frederick \.
Bangs. of Chicago: DR.. Lewis p.
Crutcher. of Kansas City: Charles W.
Miller. OF Waverly. Iowa: Porter F.
Cope. of Philadelphia. and Lamont Row
lands. president Of the Goodyear Lumber
Company.

Senator Burton. of Ohio. said that while
he intended to speak in opposition to the
bill. he did not object to an early vote.
He thought. however. a definite date
should not be fixed at this time for final
action on the measure.
Senator Hale. of Maine again admOn-
ished the Senate that if the unfinished
business was to be deferred from day TO

where il would be impossible to pass
anything but appropriation bills. A spe-
cial session of Congress would b. the re-
suit of the present course OF the SEN

he said instead OF an extra session of
Congress after March 4.
Senator Clapp. OF Minnesota. discla imed
the bill. and said that, in his Judgment.
the best way 10 reach an early vote was
to take the bill up from day to day until
vote was had. rather than to fix a
definite date far in advance for vote.

the measure differed from former meas

ATTEMPT TO KILL
PREMIER BRAND
Bullet Hits Clerk in French
Chamber of Deputies.

Paris. Jan. 11.-Another attempt on the
to-day. when. while debate was beins
carried on in the Chamber Of Deputies, a
shot was fired from the gallery
The premier was not injured. The pistol
shot was fired from the gallery just above
the heads of the Extreme Left party and
was closely followed by another. M
Mirman. one of the ministerial clerks,
who was sitting just behind the premier,
received one of the bullets in his leg.
The chamber was thrown into the ut
most confusion and the deputies lodged
here and there behind and under their
desks to escape the bullets.
Those near the man who fired the shots
from the gallery were thrown into a
panic in their efforts to get away.
NJ. BriSSOn. president of the chamber
suspended the session and the chamber
was cleared The man who fired the
shots was then arrested
The would-be assassin of the premier
proved to be VI. Gizolme. a brother of the
assistant chief clerk of NJ. I.afferre. the
minister of labor. He is unba lanced men,
tally and only recently was released from
an asylum.
NJ. Gizolme. after he was arrested, said
he regretted he had wounded NJ. Mirman:
his wish was TO kill Premier BRAND.
Ii Is believed that GiZolme tried to kill
NJ BRAND in revenge for his removal
from a post in the Bayonne law court
when the Premier as minister of justice.
discharged him. Some time ago Gizolme
fired a shot at the French consul at San
Sebastian.
NJ. Mirma n. the clerk who was wounded
by one OF the shots which were intended
for the premier. suffered from an ssassin
once before. II WAS in 1896. when he
was speaking in the chamber. and was
slightly injured when the anarchist Val

BEVERIDGE ASKS ACTION.
Objects to Delay on His Tobacco
ADfi-coupOn Measure.

Objects to Delay on His Tobacco
ADti-coupOn Measure.
Senator Beveridge yesterday served no
uce that he would enter a motion to dis
charge the Committee on Finance from
further consideration of the anti-coupon
bill unless he received satisfactory as
SuranceS that the committee would take
speedy action on the measure. The bill
prohibits the giving of coupons with pur-
chases of tobacco and cigarettes. and is
aimed at the tobacco trust Senator Bev-
eridSe engaged in livery colloquy with
Senator Smoot in his efforts to get an
explanation from the latter as to the
reason the committee had deferred action
on the bill.
This BILL said the Indiana Senator.
was enacted as part Of the Dingley
law. but was repealed as part Of that
mysterious tobacco legislation of 1902 that
has never been explained. 1t was incor-
porated in the last tariff bill as it passed
the Senate, but was stricken out in con-
ference"
Senator Smoot said that the committee
had delayed action in order to give a
hearing to independent manufacturers
who opposed the bill Senator Beveridge
retorted that the real opposition came
from the American Tobacco Company,
and said he would undertake to explain
satisfactorily all the so-called Independent
opposition once the measure was before
the Senate. Senator Smoot promised that
the committee would act soon but made
no more definite assurance.

PURCELL ASSAILS BALL1NGER.
Senator Praises Clifford PinchOt In
Forestry Controversy.

Declaring that the Overwhelming weight
of the testimony taken by the inveSti-
eating committee satisfied him that
Richard \. BaliinGer Secretary of the
Interior, was not faithful to the interests
of the people and is not an efficient
public servant. Senator Purcell. OF North
Dakota. yesterday made an extended
speech in support of his resolution ap-
proving the findings of the minority
members of the investigating committee.
Senator PurceIl's speech was in effect
his swan song. for tn" legislature Of
North Dakota was engaged in electins
his successor at the time he was ad-
dressing the Senate.
Senator Purcell holds his seat by the
appointment of the governor OF his State.
and his tenure ends with the action of
the legislature in naming Representative
Gronna as his successor. BY courtesy.
however. ne holds on until Gronna re-
ceiveS his commission and takes the
oath
Senator Purcell. who was one Of the
De mocratic members of the Congressional
committee thai investigated the Ballin-
ger -Pinchot controversy. reviewed ex-
ha ustively all the evidence taken. He
attacked Secretary Ballinger bitterly and
extolled Clifford Pinchot.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

Josh Billings wisely said:
".SncccSS don't consist in nc1'er
making blmderS. but in netrr
making one tho second time.
How true this is as applied to
ADVERTISING.
BlunderS are made many times
before success comes along. But
the same blunder need not be
made twice.
The advertiser begins thinking
that he knows Just how to adver-
tisc.
That is mistake No. /.
No advertiser knows just what
kind Of copy will PULL until he
has tried it.
We all have our own ideas
about copy. That is one reason
why advertisements are so IN
TERESTING.
There is, however. a BASIC
principle on which all good ad-
veruSements must be builded-
and that iS-a TRUTHFUL
PRESENTATION OF the mer-
chandise to be sold BACKED
Up BY RELIABLE merchan-
disc.
Even then the construction of
the advertisement is a very diff
cult matter.
All buildings that are erected
do not always turn out just right
no matter how much care has
been taken in their construction.
The FOUNDATION is usu-
ally right. however. and if the
building is very bad it can be re-

So it is with advertising.
The FOUNDATION - the
basic principle - MUST BE
RIGHT. and the copy-the su-
perstructure-can be remodeled
as often as necessary. until the
RIGHT VEIN has been struck.
Those advertisers who are sue
cesstul are never exactly salts
fed. There is perpetual strug-
gle to make each advertisement
better than the previous one.
An advertisement hurriedlv
prepared, with no definite pur-
pose in view-an advertisement
that merely consumes space just
because the advertiser wants rep
resentation in the paper-is rare
lv an effective advertisement.
BR Al \ S. CONVINCING
ARGUMENT. and DEFINITE
STATEMENT must be put into
advertising copy.
The public is critical. Indii-
ferent advertising copy begets
indifferent readers. Indifference
and inaccuracy create most OF
the pitfalls in advertising.
The advertisement writer.
therefore, is no longer a mere au-
tomato pencil-pusher who pro-
duceS copy by the yard that
means nothing and carries no
conviction.
On the contrary. he must be
RESOURCEFUL, EARNEST.
ABLE. RELIABLE. then the
danger OF making blunders is
minimized.
