Affects Dignity of Senate.

Mr.. Heyburn accepted this as en- indi-
cation that some newspaper men "occu-
pying and walking on the floor OF the
Senate" were of opinion that senators
could be coerced to do that which Is con-
trary to their consciences by the talk OF
an extra session.
This he interpreted as the "imputat1on
of motives entirely irreconcllable with
the honor and dignity of the Senate. he
declared that unless the Senate had lost
all self-respect it could not pass over such
a publication without taking notice of 1t.
"A charge that any member of this
body could be Influenced by the crack or
the whip by some one else is a charge or
cowardice," said Mr.. Hepburn, which
could not be made without resentment by
any one who himself was not q coward
Terms It Corruption Charge.
when they charge that any coordinate
branch of the government can compel an
other coordinate branch to act as other
wise 1t would not they charge corruption
against the influencing body and corrup-
ton and cowardice against those being
influenced. Can we sit silent under such
charges affecting the dignity and honor
of the Senator"
With further intimation of his intention
TO resent any effort at coercion, the Idaho
senator took his seat and the ordinary
business of the Senate proceeded. No
other senator took up the matter.

MEXICO CITY, February 16.-Aviators
who may attempt to fly across the from
tier are to be made the target for rebel
bullets, with the purpose of bringing
about complications between the govern
ments of Mexico and the United States,
according to information that reached
federal officials here from sources which
they consider trustworthy. To Alfonso
MaderO, brother of the rebel leader, was
attributed the declaration that revolution
lists along the frontier have been given or
ders by directors of the movement to fire
upon any American aviator in such
manner that it would appear to be the
act of the federals. The revolutionary
leaders are said to believe that such
course would result in complications
which would benefit their cause.
A special to the Herald from Torreon
stated that rebels yesterday looted the
mining camp of Velardena, appointed
their own jefe politico, confiscated
horses and arms and marched to
Asarco. A demand was made on u. 5.

open-Air Schools Increasing.

Since January l, 1907, sixty-five
open-air schools for children afflicted
with or predisposed to tuberculosis
have been established in twenty-eight
cities. according to an announcement
made by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. The first open-air school in the
United States was established on jan
uary l. 1907. by the board of educar
ton Of Providence. R. l.. at the In
stance of DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The
next school was established in May
of the same year at Pittsburg. and
the third at Boston in July, 1908. Ac-
cording to the reports received by the
National Association, the result of the
open-air class-work has been to re-
store most Of the children to normal
health and efficiency. One Of these
open-air schools or classes should be
established for each $4,000 popula
ton, especially in cities.

Tho Way to Begin.

Every merchant In every town
should advertise. first Of all. in his
home newspapers. He cannot make
himself well known otherwise; he
cannot do as much business as he
wants to do otherwise.
He need spend only in proportion to
the business he does in year. II he
did $4,000 business last year. spend
$500 to $3.50 In advertising; If he did
$4,000, spend $1,000 to $3.50 in ad-
vertising. and SO on.
1t will be beginning and 1t will
pay-but the greatest care should be
taken, since only small space can be
used, to make each advertisement as
full of meat as possible-make it stand
out conspicuously in type effect, and
make the reading matter say some
thing and mean 1t.

Variety In Advertising.

A writer in one of the advertisers
magazines says that a certain type of
advertisement Is about as interesting
as heap OF clam shells In a vacant
lot The kind of "ad." he is criticising
is the stereotyped. cut-and-dried
card" which still represents the
most advanced form of publicity in
the conception of some business men.
1t is safe to say no advertisement
is a good advertisement which merely
makes known the existence of the
business 1t exploits. The public is not
Interested In the fact that the bust
ness exists-it wants to know why
1t exists The card" does not tell
The space 1t occupies on the page OF
a newspaper can always be used to
better advantage in giving the adver-
tiser some real news about the adver-
tiser's business than in presenting to
his attention an enlarged extract
from a page of the city directory.
