Strategy
In Advertising
The Climax of Salesmanship-in-Print

Tho battles of advertising are not
won today by men with the largest
forces.
Three times in five they are won by
men who start with but limited re-
sources. Five times in FIVE, when rightly
directed, they are won without any
large risk. In good many cases there
is no stake at all.
,, There is no long waiting-no serious
uncertainty-no drawn-out period
when expense overtops result. One
gets his answer Immediately.
Most successful advertising pays divi-
dends from the start. Impossible
things are not started at all.
And a pretty large part Of modern-day
advertising finances itself.
Nation wide distribution and .
profitable sale are attained in two
months, sometimes.
! Weeks do the work Of years. Midgets
grow to monsters with amazing rapid
ity. Trade conditions are changed
overnight.
Formidable competition, long in
trenched, has been almost wiped out
By q single lnaneuver.
Al! because Of newborn science,
called Strategy in Advertising.
An advertising campaign Of the mod
iern kind is based on exact information.
The attitude Of consumers is learned
lconditions and competition are learned
BY deaAsr canvass. Selling points are
developed b. actual selling.
Ten thousand sources are sometimes
-esaEched for light on single problem.

FROM THE JOURNAL


Suppression of all publicity in d.
vorce cases except the announcement
OF the decisions is urged by Judge Al
fred J. Murphy. He would have all
such cases heard in camera, with
counsel for the state in attendance.
Some good people are with the
judge in his general protest. Some
are thoughtful purists, others are i'm
questionable souls who can be used
by transient periodicals with axes TO
grind. But the mistake they are all
committing is in encouraging the hid
ing OF evil, which necessarily means
the protection of evil at time when
public good demands its exposure.
The effort TO repress. govern or
suppress newspapers is not new 1t
always recalls TO newspaper workers
the plea OF Millions "Areopagitica"
for the freedom of the press as the
surest aid TO liberty and righteous
ness. II recalls also the bitter strife
of I'LL between the English parlia-
ment and the London newspapers, in
which parliament fought to prevent
any publication OF its proceedings, in
which the lord mayor arrested an Off
Ger Of the commons and the commons
sent the lord mayor TO the Tower.
And all such battles have ended the
same way-for a free people will al
ways demand freedom of public in
formation. so that public acts may be
likewise untrammeled.
The enemies of publicity just now
include some good people. But the
raging enemies OF publicity at all
times are bad people. The thug who
buries the body Of his victim is
afraid of the hue and cry. There is
not a newspaper which has not been
approached by grafters on the eve of
exposure, or other criminals close to
the crisis. with a plea of suppress
sion. Faithless husbands about to be

FROM THE NEWS.

MIN He NEWS.
In printing comparatively small
parts of the Kellogg case, The News
has shown TO the people how its di-
vorce courts are run: how perjury
is brought into our courts: how the
marriage vow is disregarded.
THE News has no quarrel with any
who may hold that more detail has
been printed than conditions called
for, but sometimes IL is necessary TO
tweak the public ear to get public at
tention. and il may be that in the
tweaking the jerk was harder than
was intended or necessary. The News
surely printed more than IL likes TO,
and IL IL erred in judgment il has
taken whatever criticism has come
its way without whimper. But every
effort was made 10 edit out filth. and
that meant editing out the larger part
OF the testimony Twice words got
into the columns of The News about
which question could be raised, but
they were cut out OF the very next
edition and II needed no suggestion
from outside the office TO get them
cut out. Every effort was made TO
keep the reports clean, yet 10 let peo-
pie know what was being done.
IF what was printed aroused the
public. they would be tearing things
up by the roots il they knew all that
took place.
The News does not believe that
all cases should be jumped to and
published indiscriminately. This has
never been done; kindly regard
should always be shown for innocent
sufferers in the cases.
"The divorce evil Is the crying dis
grace OF the country. II has been
preached against, legislated against,
Grated against and written about-yet
IL has gone on and on.
What is to be done about 1t?
should Judge Alfred ]. Murphys

lions be shown as plainly as decent
language will permit?

DemOcratiC MAJORITY. 5,IUU
II does not matter in the least that
the most densely settled section of
New Jersey is the lair Of the treach-
erous boss, and that, therefore. he was
enabled TO elect Republican lower
house: a majority of the votes cast,
with Wilson not running, were Demo
cratic. What the majority might have
been, or will be. with him on the
ticket is a speculation; that the state
had a Republican majority of 1902

What Really Happened
in New Jersey

Probably ninety-nine out of every
hundred people in the country, even
including those who take a pretty
acute interest in politics, believe that
at the recent election a large majority
of the people of New Jersey voted
the Republican ticket and rebuked
Governor Wilson. This, either as a
statement of fact or as an inference,
on the day after election. bristled
joyfully from every standpat headline,
cartoon, and editorial where the wish
was father 10 the thought. What
were the facts? Omit all talk OF the
treachery of the Democratic boss, the
coldly planned knitting that the Demo
cratic machine gave Wilson; omit
everything in the nature Of excusa-
tory explanation; consider only the Of
