address on ADVERTISING

[By William c. Freeman The Exponent of Clean Advertise
given the Convention the Associated Advertisers
Clubs nf America, in Boston Mass. last week.l
tNEwsPAPERDosD
CONTINUED Thursday
But is not this very small list of advertisers
in the largest city in the United States who have
made conspicuous successes by employing mod
ern advertising methods Other great stores have
also succeeded by following their own methods
using the stereotyped price bulletin and the ordi-
nary type effects-but that is because they are
doing business in wonderful city with popu-
laton at their doors representing about 0ne-fif-
teenth of the population of the entire country.
So many people have to buy somewhere! How
much greater would their business be? How much
greater interest would their advertisements
arouse if they made them really readable-if they
actually made them real news
I'VE newspapermen must urge the advertisers
in our respective communities to put human in
terest into their copy, to make their advertise
ments so attractive that the readers of newspa-
pers will read the advertisements with the same
interest that they read the news of the day.
However, | have seen advertising in the
newspapers greatly improve. have passed
through the period when the standing business
card has stepped aside for the space that is filled
with an intelligent appeal to the public; have no
ticed the passing of the advertising faker; have
the printed lie give way to the printed truth
| have seen character take the place of pretense;
have seen decency take the place of indecency;
| have seen advertising finally recognized as one
of the greatest business factors of the age.
Il have witnessed an improvement in the type
of men engaged in the advertising business
have witnessed publishers change from mere
grabbers of money through the printing of de-
ceptive reading notices and fake and unreliable
advertisements to men who now ask themselves:
Have we a moral right to print this advertise
ment?'-and answering their own question, say:
No. we have not the moral right to print this ad-
vertisement.' So they do not print it"

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE

'Please give the true meaning of
success" says a correspondent.
It all depends.
Men differ in their definitions as
their ideals differ. One may regard
another the building of home, anoth-
er the election to an Office. and so on.
In its highest meaning. however, sue
cess does not consist in getting or own
ing anything. 1t is giving rather than
getting. Success is in service. The OBJ
jeetive Of 1T must be outside Of self.
Permit me to say that
Ignoble success is only successful
failure.
Noble failure mey be and often is
success.
Noble success is successful success.
l know a physician who does more
work down in the slums' bottoms fol
nothing than he does out on the rich
avenue for pay. The night is never
too dark or hot or cold for him to
respond to call FOR help. and he never
considers whether or not he will be
paid.
He is successfully successful.
l know lawyer who scorns to take
a bribe in an unjust cause. who coun.
sells arbitration rather than litigation
and who is the swift defender of the
downtrodden and the poor.
He is nobly successful.
know an editor who twice resign
ed a good salary when asked to de-
fend a greedy corporation against the
interests Of the people.
He won high success.
know a woman who gave up ease
and society and gives her time ant
money in service to those who need.
Is she not successful?
l know a woman who has refused
several offers Of marriage and willing
ly has become an "old maid that she
may stay at home and take care Of ar
invalid father.
Is she a failure?
Successful are these souls and hap
py, successful in the best and trues
sense.
Oh, know the world has a different
Standard
1t speaks Of the successful as thos.
who pile up money they do not need
those who achieve power and doni
nate, those who scorn to stoop tina,
they may conquer.
But let me whisper:
Deep down in its heart the worlt
knows better.

STRICKEN WITH HEART FAILURE
Resting Comfortably at the NorwaIlS
 Hospital To-day.
(Norwalk Hour. )

Harry Grayham, of 22S Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport we'll known civil engineer in that city, was stricken with an attack of heart trouble Sat- urday afternoon, as he was walking along Wall street. in front of Will liam P. Beeers' stationery store, and as a result is now in the Norwalk Hospital where he is resting com fortably to-day. Grayham suddenly reeled and began to sink slowly to the ground. He gripped the arm of Richard F. Bradley of New Haven, happened to be passing him. MT. Bradley caught him and prevented his falling. A large crowd of peo- pie quickly gathered and hurried call was serr for physician. Gray ham was unconscious. Dr. Walter Hitchcock arrived a little later Tn the meantime Captain Thomas Hunt had secured a stretcher and Irving Reed and Oscar Waleure carried the stricken man to the police station
 From here he was removed to the Norwalk hospital in George L. Lock- woods automobile. Nothing of ser ious nature is expected to come out of the attack. For a time it was fear ed that the attack would be fatal. however. Grayham is forty years old, and his mother is Mrs. William Grayham of Dartmouth street, Bos- ton.

Thanksgiving Day, is one that appeals

Thanksgiving Day, is one that appeals to many hearts. H. B. 1S5, introduced by Rep. Reed of Bethel, to forbid opening saloons before a m., is in the interest of the workingman and the community. Tn these days of shorter work hours it is surely unneces sary from every point of view for saloon to be open at a. n., as at present New York and Massachusetts both forbid open ing before a. m.
 H. B. APP, introduced by Rep. Car rier of Glastonbury gets after the speak-easy and the illicit dealer who fails to pay his license fee to the coun- ty but never fails to square him self with Uncle Sam in order to escape the heavy penalties imposed by the U S laws on those selling without having paid the federal tax. It may surprise many to learn that Connecti- cut has between 1900 and 1500 who pay this federal tax but fail to pay the state a cent for a license to do business. The house of ill-fame in yariably provides itself with such a permit, and until the Federal govern ment changes its policy, let Connec> ticut turn on the light and let the community know who the lawbreak- CTS are.
 H. E. A, introduced by Rep. Beard of Huntington, provides for gen. erai vote in all towns next October and such Towns or Counties forbid ding the manufacture and sale of in toxicating and spirituous liquors will be permanently relieved of voting on this question again.

KILLED BY AMENDMENT.

For many years. the Senate has smothered or shelved House bills pro- yiding for the election of Senators directly by the people instead of through State Legfsia lures which are too often purchasable or susceptible to other improper influences. generally corporate. The proposition has been advocated In many State platforms and is undoubtedly supported by a heavy preponderance of public senti- nent. but the ''Milionaires' Club. a characterization often applied to the Senate and generally applicable. has always been distrustful of the peorle and disinciined to confer the power of directly choosing their Senatorial representative upon them. It is much easier to buy or otherwise improperly influence a Legislature than the people of a State. Under direct elections. there wouldn't be so many milionaires in the Senate. nor so many practically direct representatives of ''the inter- ests", and there would be at least a chance that whenever the issue of people vs interests came up. the for mer would hold a majority in the Sem ate. which has not been the case for many years.
 A House bill providing for direct Senatorial elections appeared in the Senate during the present session. The "Mfllionaires' Club" did not dare, in the present status of public senti- ment to shelve it. Recourse was had to another method of killing the meas ure. It was loaded down with the so-called Sutherland amendment which was calculated to prejudice the Sena- tors from the South against it. a design which has proved success rul That amendment placed the cont, ol of direct Senatorial elections in the hands of Congress: at present. the control is In the hands of the states. Under the amendment. Congress would dic- tate the dates. manner and places of elections: it might conform them to State conditions or it might not It might even chanee1the suffrage quali- fications. now obtaining in the severa, States.
 It is better. much better. that the bill is defeated. rather than passed in its amended form.

it the text of what can only be inter- preted as an attack upon President 1 Taft and. incidentally. upon the Re publican practice of using Federal of ficers to capture the control of nationa. conventions, the method by which President Roosevelt practically dic- tated the nomination of Taft in 1908. Senator Bourne also attacked the prac- tice of granting or withholding Fed eral patronage as a means of infiuenc- ing the action of Senators and ReIre- sentatives. He called it bribery in the one case. and intimidation in the other. and said that it indicated a deplorable and despicable subservience on the part of the legislative branch and a dangerous and demoraizing usurpatfon upon the part of the execu- tive s,nrtinninT. he said:
 I would have as much respect for a common ward heeler who buys votes at the polls as for President of he united States who uses his appointing power as a means of forcing or per- suading members of Congress to de- termine or change their course of ac- tion. One transaction is as dishonest. as corrupt. and as depraving as the other. but the later is more danger ous, more insidious. more pernieious than the former. because it strikes at the very foundation of free institu- tfons, sets a precedent for corrupt methods in all official life and marks the beginning of dictatorship and de- cadence of the nation
 It may be that Senator Bourne was, in this way. preparing for the cam paign of 1912-that the Progressive Republican League is planning to bar out the practice of capturing control of national conventions through the activities of Federal officials. He an- nounced that he will introduce a cor rupt practices act and it may be that this Is the method by which he hopes to curb the Federal power over the next Republican National convention.

UNIFORM LAWS
 FOR WEIGHTS
 AND MEASURES
Sealer Mar0ney Will Present Or.
 dinaLce to New Haven . Aldermen

New Haven, March 1.-Speaking yesterday of his recent trip to Wash ington, D. C., during which he attend cd the national convention of sealers of weights and measures, Edward J. Maroney. local sealer of weights and measures, said:
 ''The convention was held for the purpose of perfecting, if possible, system of laws and a standardization of weights and measures throughout the United States. The men who at- tended the convention were chosen from the different parts of the coun- try, one from each state, by the bu- reau of commerce and labor. There were 73 men present, including some shippers from various states.
 ''The matter of the standardization of weights of all crates, barrels and boxes received considerable attention. In Connecticut, Ma Tsachusetts and Rhode Island the weight of a bar rel of potatoes is 172 pounds, while in New York s.ate it is 174 pounds. These are what is known as mongrei weights. There should be in pota- toes either 150 pounds or ITO pounds. -ious states making the weight uni form was one of the points brought forward
 Representative Mann of Chicago" continued the speaker, Twill intro- duce in Congress a measure provid ing that all crates boxes, barrels and packages, be marked on the outside with the weight of their contents or with their numerical contents. Uni form legislation with regard to loaves of bread was also considered by the convention. I have in my office an ordinance on this matter which is considered a very good one and one which I will have presented to the local board of aldermen for action. It concerns the size of the ioaves of bread that are put out by the local bakers. I have communicated with State Representative Johnson of Man chester, who has already introduced similar measure in the General As sembly of Connecticut, asking him to attach the provision to his bill so that it will become a state law. It is a fact that right here in New Haven there is a great discrepancy between the larger loaves of bread; in some cases there is as much as six ounces difference between them. A per- son receives more for his money by buying two five cent loaveS of bread than by buying a ten cent loaf. It is to cure this discrepancy that there is need of a uniform law.
 '"The matter of meters. gas, wa ter, electric and taximeters. was al-' place the care and supervision Of these under the charge of the sealer of weights and measures. pr. Strat- ton of Washington has ccmmunicat- ed with Alderman Morriesey of this city, who some time ago presented a measure covering these matters to the local board of aldermen"

TIMES RAVE CHALGED
W. l.. Douglass Interviewed He No Longer Attends
 to Detail Work
(Brockton Times.)


 Ex-Governor William l.. Douglas re- gently became reminiscent while Q Times reporter was calling on him at his plant office on Spark street.
 "Yes, times have changed" he ven tured. When I started in this busi- ness many years ago I used to think I had to attend to every detail of it. I'd come in mornings and pore over every bit of my mail, then go out and be superintendent, then as like as not I'd take hand at a foreman's job, and. if salesman called, would find myself acting in the capacity of buyer. In short I had the idea that was the only man in the factory who could look after the de .ails. rather enjoyed doing it. I thought that it was the only way to conduct the business.
 What a great change now. Why, II I attempted to attend to details to- day I would be worn out. nave sy;temized the work. putting depart ments on a ba-4s where the man in charge can look after them. What I do now is hold every man respon- Sible for the results in his depart ment I care little for his methods so long as the results are satisfactory Everything is different than it used to be. The bushes is bigger. It's growing every day and it is only nat ural that I should apply different

 "Oh, it is different all the way through" the ex-governor continued. Every man does his work differently and better.''

 well it isn't a common thing for me to find flowers on my desk" re- piled MT. Douglas, "but occasionally someone leaves bouquet for me up- on my return home from a vacation or long business trip.'
 Have you ever thought of reeiring, MT. Douglas?" was the next question. Retiring! Me retire? We'll I should say not" he promptly replied. Do you suppose a man who has been in the harness as long as I have could retire? Why, I'd die if I attempted to relax to that extent.
 "You may not realize it. but I enjoy my work better than anything else, he went on. 1T like to hear the hum of industry about me. might like to take a vacation once in a while. but that's different. Even then I long to get back within these four walls.

During the House debate over the Greenwich court appointments. Chair man Banks of the House Judiciary committee. who Is the Republican leader in the House. spoke of one of the remonstrants as "a struggling young lawyer who peddles milk in the morning and who spends his after moons In a law office" The Stamford Advocate Is disposed to resent the slur', and says:
 The man who becomes a memrer of the Bar through his own efforts meaning the young man whose parents are unable to pay his way through a university and a law school but n nevertheless perseveres, and. while earning his own living. acquires an education and training sufficient to qualify him for admission lo the Par deserves the highest credit. He may be a rail-splitter. or a blacksmith. or in a machine-shop. or even modest peddler of milk. hut 1t is the manFthat counts. You need not seek outs de the boundaries of this commonwealth 10 find that sone of it's greatest men beean life in a modest way. and were obliged to earn their living at a time when other boys were spending their time more or less prohtably in col lege- The man who pays his way through a professional education win monev he has earned upon a mi k wr-<vf. has far rore reason to be proud of his achievement than one who. through the chances of fortune, Is enabled to make his preparation in a college ard law school. Usually too he gives a letter account of himself in the end because he Is made of the right sort of stuff.
 Needless to say. the slur will hardly strengthen Judge Banks with "the common people,. Such utterances often come back to plague their in- ~ertors".

Congressman Hin is very confident that the Canadian reciprocity agree ment will pass the Senate before Sat urday noon. and that therefore. n1 extra session will be called. But if 1t should not be acted upon. there is now . virtual certainty that President Taft will call an extra session. having already fixed the date as during the first or second week of April
 The difficulty in the way of action Is found in the other pressing meas ures which are pending. among them the Lorimer case. and the supply bills. A canvass of the Senate shows that 2s Democrats and 2s Republicans among the latter the two Connecticut members. will vote for the agreement, with eight Republicans not sure but probably for the measure. There is practically no doubt of the agreements acceptance if it can be brought to a vote.
