ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

that you know what play is be-
ing produced in your town-how
is it that you are familiar with
the new things that come out in
the way of clothes, hats, shoes,
hosiery, neckwear, shirts, under
wear? NEVER READ ADVER-
TISEMENTS, DO YOU?
1t is absurd for people to say
that they don't read advertise
ments, and it is absurd to claim
that advertising does not pay.
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 other
wise.
He need spend only IN proper
ton to the business he does in a
year. If he did a $4,000 bust
ness last year, spend $500 to $3.50
in advertising; if he did $4,000,
spend 1000 to 81 $50 in adver-
tising, and so on.
1t will be BEGINNING and
it 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 con-
spicuously in type effect, and
make the reading matter SAY
SOMETHING AND MEAN
IT.

VIII Revise the Tariff.
With the fullest franIness, the Demo-
Gratis have announced that after passing
the reciprocity agreement this committee
Win proceed to work at once to devise
bins for the revision Of various tariff
schedules
For this purpose the personnel Of the
committee was made up with care.
Strong protection Democrats, it is as
serted, were kept off the committee. and
SO were rampant free traders, in order
that the revision might not be along
radical lines.
Tho Senate is still Republican, but the
growth of the insurgent spirit and so
called progressivism serve largely to
weaken firm calculation of its political
complexion in regard to the party ques-
tons soon to come forward from the
Democratic House Even in the dying
days of the present Congress there has
been a tendency of the minority to test
its strength as a big combining factor
&c T., ~,
Gress, with a healthy muster Of forty
one, and with a willing insurgent con-
Gngent across the aisle, there is no tell
ing TO what extent the minority may
have its way, especially in regard to the
burning tariff questions of the hour.
Wholesale Changes I'm the House.
Speaker Clark viii have many new
faces to learn, for on both sides Of the
chamber will be scores OF individuals
who have never before appeared In the
national legislative halls The sprink-
ling of changes will run pretty well
through the Republican side, for many
members felt the jar of last November's
election not only from the Democratic
current, but from the insurgent wars
Only six states in the union escaped
with their House delegations unchanged,
which but one or two Congressman are
sent Rhode Island, Nevada, and Idaho
have brand new delegations. At least
fifteen editors Of newspapers are num-
bered among the newly elected MEM
bers- T. W. Townsend, of "Chfmmie
Fadden" fame, will occupy one of the
New Jersey seats. Martin W. Littleton
who sprung to fame as criminal lawyer
In the Thsw trial, will be on hand to
represent the district where Oyster Bay
and Theodore Roosevelt are located He
Is q Democrat.
In fact scores OF individuals whose
popularity and political sagacity led them
to victory in the Democratic and insur-
gent landslide of last November will
be here TO answer to their names as the
roll is called IN the House on April 4th
Such names as Jacoway. Mays. Stack,

I'm the summer thoughtless crowds of

There Is no danger that the gay travel

of restoration should have been COM

stolen, and coniscated it. He offered to
refund the 5000 paid for it.
The chamberlain refused to accept the

Alexandra, Va, Feb. 26-When city
council meets Tuesday evening it will be
called upon to elect a successor to the
late Councilman Louis w. Brill. quiet
but effective campaign has, it is under
stood, been waged in the interest of GER
tain candidates. and many members of
that body already have pledged them
selves, it is said, to certain candidates
Among those mentioned as candidates
are Robert NJ. Graham, head of the firm
Of F. S. Harper & Co, and r. S. Jones,
with c. c. Smoot's Sons & Co. Whoever
is chosen will fill out the unexpired term
OF Mr.. Brill. and will then come before
the voters of the ward for reelection.
Interest in the meeting of the finance
committee of city council, which will be
held at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in
the chamber of the board of aldermen,
has been revived, owing to the fact that
the matter of new tax rate, which will
be considered, is just beginning to be
discussed among property owners. A
delegation of members of the chamber
of commerce will appear before the COM
mittee and give their views. All cti-
zens. however, are permitted to be present
and to be heard.
The finance committee will make its re-
port to council Tuesday night, when a
rate will be decided upon.
1t Is said that the majority OF property
owners want a fat rate of taxes, with
penalty added. The old rate of sl.9O
on the 800 Is regarded as being far too
high under the new assessment. There
was general understanding when the
assessment was mace that there would
be reduction in the rate.
AT meeting of the council two weeks
ago reduced rate was recommended
by the finance committee A long argu-
ment ensued. when one member asserted
that a strong business organization
wanted the old rate Of $3.50 on the 500 to
prevail.
