ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

The publisher of the Columbus
(Ohio) News, MIR. ALLEN
ALBERT, is doing great work
in elevating newspaper advertis-
ing.
He is particular about the kind
of advertising he prints, and be-
fore accepting a contract he must
be CONVINCED OF THE
INTEGRITY OF THE AD-
VERTISERS.
He is not prudish nor a re-
former. He is just a publisher
with GOOD, COM NJ 0 N
SENSE, who realizes that the
handwriting is on the wall, and
that he must take note of it if his
paper is to become permanent
success.
Some time ago he devoted a
three-column space on the first
page of his newspaper to a sub
ject entitled "Twenty-eight Days
of Disgraceful Newspaper Ad-
vertising.'
This talk told of another news
paper in Columbus which had
boasted about a great increase in
business in the month of Febru-
airy.
Mr.. Albert pointed out to his
readers the kind of advertising
that had been printed in the col
umns of his neighbor, and made
it very clear that business sue

stow upon me the same favorable reeep-
ton as was given my predecessors, which
will, in a high degree, contribute to the
better discharge of the honorable duties
which bring me to this republic.
1T affords me great pleasure to Offer
to you the best wishes of the President
Of the United Mexican States. and of my
own for the continuous advance of the
intelligence and industrious American
people and for your personal happiness. -
President Taft's Reply.
This was the Presidents formal re.
sponse:
Mr.. Ambassador: receive with
pleasure from your hands the letter
whereby you are accredited Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary OF
Mexico to the government of the United
States. l have no doubt that the friendly
efforts of your predecessors to cultivate
and maintain cordiality of intercourse
between the peoples of the two countries
will be continued by you to the same
high ends, and that the affairs of the
high office with which you are charged
WILL by you be conducted in a manner
equally satisfactory.
THE government OF the United States
having none but the best wishes for the
happiness of the Mexican people cannot
puI Aeei tle hNety iHteiest III lHelr peace
and prosperity. 1t is therefore the fer
vent hope Of the United States that har-
mony may soon prevail, and that the
Mexican people in full accord and with
a unanimity of purpose, will proceed to-
ward their great destiny.
Il ask you to be so good as to convey
to President Diaz the expression of my
appreciation of his good wishes, and to
assure him Of the like feelings which I
entertain for his personal happiness. For
your own friendly sentiments I thank
you.
II shall take an early occasion to make
formal acknowledgment of your prede-
cessor's letter of recall"

cess that prided itself on the
printing of such advertising copy
was welcome to the success and
to what pride could be gotten out
of it.
He reproduced two or three of
the nasty advertisement printed
by his neighbor, and then said:
These things are wretched
and shameful to the whole body
of newspaper makers.
1T is possible for a newspaper
not only to survive, but to pros
per, by inserting only DECENT
ADVERTISING, and thus guar
antee to advertisers decent asso-
Citations in its columns.
1t is not necessary to have to
face the charge of corrupting
young girls and boys in order to
succeed.
"Our neighbor has yet to
learn" so Mr.. Albert says, "that
decency in newspaper work
CANNOT BE CONFINED TO
THE EDITORIAL PAGE. He
has yet to learn that indecent ad-
vertising is worse for the COM
munity than anything that could
possibly be printed in newspa-
per-"
Mr.. Albert is sure to succeed.
His home community will back
him up in taking this stand for

SCHENCK DIVORCE SUIT.
Wife GIowers at Nurse Who May Be
Number Two

Wheeling, w. Va, April 19-Lawa
Farnsworth Schenck glowered to-day at
Miss Alma Evans, the nurse who attend
ed her husband during his illness, while
she was testifying in the divorce suit of
John H. Schenck against his wife.
Miss Evans was on the stand the en-
tire afternoon, there being no morning
session. Her testimony was the same
as she gave at the trial of Mrs Schenck
on the charge of attempting to murder
her husband by poison. Mrs. Schenck
regards Miss Evans as the person to
whom her husband has transferred his
affections. The general impression is that
Schenck will wed the nurse as soon as
the bonds that hold him to his present
wife are released. Miss Eleanor Klein,
the detective nurse, who figured in the
Schenck trial, has been summoned as a
witness.
