hours at least y. n. %
The attack which both rrancisco
Madero and Gen. orozco, of the Mexi-
can insurgent forces, declared would
occur on scheduled time, yesterday,
has not yet materialized and may
here now believe that it may never
come.
Despite the absolute refusal OF
Gen. Navarro to surrender Juarez In.
to his hands and the receipt OF a tele-
gra mfrom Mexico City formally end
ing the peace negotiations, Madero
last night announced a second armis-
tice of "a hours. This action was
caused by the arrival of Francisco
Madero. Sr., in the insurgent camp.
and also by the receipt by the pro-
visional president of a telegram from
DR.. Vasquez Gomez. of Washington,
strongly advising against precipitat-
ing battle at this time Gomez de-
clared that an attack on Juarez now
would certainly force American in
tervention and that, In addition, the
bloodshed battle would entail would
turn the sentiment OF the people
against the insurrection.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BIZ
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN
No. TIC.

Mason Britton, in the conduct
Of the AMERICAN MACHlN-
IST. takes the position that the
printing of an advertisement IN
that publication means to the
readers the same as rating py
Dun or Bradstreet.
He takes great pains to make
the ADVERTISING COLUMNS,
az we'll as the editorial columns,
RELIABLE.
In a recent editorial he said:
"There was a time when peo-
ple used circus hot-air express
sions, because somebody said
that Barnum said people liked
to be fooled.
"Barnum didn't win by fool
ing the people.
"He advertised the greatest
show on earth, and he had the
goods.
Honesty is the first law of
business.
Honesty is the first rule OF
true success.
Nowadays, exaggeration de-
feats it's own ends.
"The era of truth-telling is
here, if for no other reason than
it costs money to beNa liar.
"Just as fast as that truth
comes home to the man who
pays the bills, is advertising pay
ing better. y
"The man who is determined
to get the best returns for
money spent in advertising will
never willfully publish an un-
truth.
"And even if he is short-sight-
ed enough to want to, he can't il
we know it."
This is the stand that should
be taken by all publications that
want to succeed.
