Every man loafs as much as he
dares," said Emerson, and the Sage of
Concord was right The big question
in life is: How much do you dare to
idle?
Ordinarily the man who makes good
is he who has an ambition that aches
50 badly that he can't sit still. He who
is still long enough becomes a vege-
table, and the old fairy tales about
men who were changed to trees were
not so far off. l know several thou
sand who were once in a way to be
come somebodies, who have paused by
the waysde and become sticks.
He who is as much afraid to waste
time as he is to steal never wastes it.
Time is money and more. The man
who makes proper use of it has a big
start of his neighbor who isn't afraid
to waste the factors of fortune. He
who merely knows that to loaf when
one should work is bad business sell

HERTXSLNG TALKS
BY WTLLrAM C. FREEMAN

| An advertising manager Of a newspa-
| per recently sent to the editor-in-chief
advertiser which expressed some very
common sense views on the business sit
uation and how to improve it.
The advertising manager suggested that
there was material in that advertiser $
speech for a good editorial. Very much
to his surprise, the editor-in-cEief thank
ed him for bringing the advertiser 5
speech to his attention. saying that he
depended more the common sense
views of manufacturers and merchants
than he did upon the opinions of lawyer
sta tesmen.
Which made the advertising manages
recall the time when 1t was high treason
to the editorial sanctum for an editor to
pay the slightest attention to an adVer-
tiser. Mention of the name of an adver-
tiser on the editorial page or in the news
column was not ethical; 1t looked tco
editorial and news dignity and that was
unfOrgivable.
Times have changed.
Some of the best thought on matters OF
the gravest Importance comes from the
business man, and now editors and news
gatherers are only too glad to publish
editorial opinions and interviews what
business men say, even though, as adVeT-
tfsers. they do get some free publicity
This kind of free publicity. however, is
totally different from that which IS
and interests whose opinions on every
subject under the they think are
worth recording.
The brainy business man who pays for
publicity of his own applied to his
business. does not seek personal publicity
That generally seeks him, and when it is
given it is of value to every body-perhaps
least of all to him.
Advertising and public opinion are
pretty closely allied now Advertisers who
appreciate the full value of intelligent
publicity are really educa ting the people
supplying them with necessary knowledge
about business so that the people today
have a better understanding of the
needs of business than most of the states

the eases under the antitrust law the su-
