Critics. President Taft
For VetOes of Tariff
Reform Bills

Speaker Champ Clark, the first
Democrat to preside over a house of
representatives in sixteen years, is de-
cidedly Of the opinion that his party
has made a good record in the first
session Of the Sixty-seoond congress.
For the first time in sixteen years the
Democrats have been in control Of one
branch Of the national government.
For the first time the Democrats have
had an opportunity to initiate l%egisla-
ton and control the action Of one
branch of the national Legislature.
Champ Clark occupies the position
which by everybody familiar with leg
isIativs procedure is conceded TO be
the second place Of Importance in the
official scale Of the United States gov
eminent.
In the following signed article, writ
ten for the American Press Assoeia-
ton, he expresses his views Of the work
Of the first session Of the American
congress in which the Democratic
party has controlled the house Of rep
resentatives for sixteen years. MIR.
Clark does not hesitate to o%ritieise the
president nor to bsstow praise upon
those %insursent Republicans who have
tried to assist the Democrats in carry
ing out a tariff revision program. This
uttsranoe Of Speaker Clark, not only
on account Of the official position he
occupies, but also because he is one Of
the most prominent possibilities in the
next presidential campaign, is both in.

Steam Ship POtsdam, July II, III
The sailing of an ocean steam
"er is always a scene of delightful
confusion and excitement. Thous-
Q 'nds of people throng the pier
I'd the ship, saying goOdbyes to
the hundreds who are about to
leave. The journey across the
ocean, though no longer a matter
eof danger or hardship, is yet
enough Of an event to start the
emotions and make the emoters
forget everything but the watery
way and the long absence.
The crowd is anxious, expec-
tant, sad, and unrestrained. Men
who rarely show personal feeling
look with glistening eyes on the
friends to be left behind. Women
who are always seeing disaster to
their loved ones strive with pats,
careSSes and fond phrases to say
the consOling words or express
the terror in their hearts. The tim

eyes and talks loudly about the
baggage. The mother clings to
her sons arm and whispers to
him how she will pray for him
every night and hopes he will
change his underclOthes when the
days are cool. Young folks hold
hands and tell each other of the
constant remembrance they will
have. Big bOquets of flowers are
brought on by stewards, the
trunks go sliding up the plank
and into the ship, the officers
strut up and down, conscious of
the admiring chances of the cur

the rich family parades on with
servants and boxes, the whistle
blows for the visitors to leave,
and the final gOOdbyes, and
"write me" and Clock the back
door, and "tel aunt Mary, and
such phrases fill the air while
handkerchiefS alternately wipe
and wave.
Slowly the big boat backs into
the stream amid a fog of cheers
and SObs and then goes ahead
down the harbOr, past the pier,
still alive with fluttering hand
kerchiefs, the voices no longer to
be heard, and the passengers feel
that sinking of heart that comes
from the knOwledgs of separat-
lon by time and distance coming
to them for weeks and months,
perhaps forever. SOrrOwfully they
strain for a last look at the crowd
now too far away to distinguish
the wanted face, and then they
turn around, look at their watch
eS and wonder how long it will
be before lunch.

from the pier. Of course the
boys sold American flags and SOU
venir post cards. Of course the
tourists wondered if they would
be sea sick and their friends
rather hoped they would be

the band changed its tune to a
Dutch version of "The Girl |
Left Behind Me-" and with flags
flying the POtsdam moved past
the big sky scrapers past the
Battery, alongside the Statue of
Liberty and out toward the At
lantic like a swan IN Riverside
park. The voyage has begun. The
traveller has to look after his bag

board, find his deck seats and din

more glimpse of the New Jersey
coast, which 10 never very pret-

This boat, the PotSdam, of the
HOlland-Ame line, is not one
of the big and magnificent float
ing hotels which take travellers
across the Atlantic so rapidly
that they do not get acquainted
with each other and in such style
that they think they are at a
summer resort. But it is a good
sized, easy sailing, slow going
ship that will take about ten
days across and has every COM

SALESMANSHIP IN YOUR ADVERTISEMENT


The most pertinent question a
retailer must think about when
ne starts out to consider the CUES.
ton of filling the advertising
space he has bought in the local
newspaper is, how can | sell my
good successfully through this
newspaper? The best answer to
the question is undoubtedly anOth
er question. He must ask himself
If | had to sell these goods In my
StOree, how would | approach my
cuStOmer-hOw could l interest
hre and in what way should | con
vince her! Last of all he must
ask himself whether he is capable
Of doing all this n thenewSpaper
space as well as in his stOresr
When a merchant has answered
these questions satisfactorily he
may commence compiling his ad-
vertiSement. But until he real
ICES that SaleSmanship is just as
necessary In the newspaper space
as i'm his store when selling goods,
he can never hope to get the alue
ne has every right 10 expect from
the space.
Successful newspaper publ
city has been called Salesmanship
on paper. When a retailer can
distinguish that kind of salesman
ship and appreciate its value, he
Is a long way ON the road to ad-
vertising success.
If a retailer employed mexper-
fenced or amateur help in his
store to sell his best goods, he
would be claSsed as a fool. Why
should he not also be put in that
category if he employs amateur
SaleSmanShip in his newspaper
space? He pays good money for
both and should get the same de-,
gree of satisfaction for his expen-
diture.
-Four main points enter into all
craftsmanship, whether personal
Or on paper: first, the attention
of the possible customer must be
obtained; second, interest must
be created in the goods you are
going to sell; third, the customer
must be convinced that she wants
the goods, and last, but by NJ
means least, she must be induced
To make a purchase.
In planning his advertising,
therefore, the merchant has to
apply these principles in such a
way that from his announce
ments, results are obtained as a
matter of course. But he must
remember always that salesman
ship on paper is more difficult
than SaleSmanship in person be-
cause he cannot make his selling
arguments felt in the same degree
as when he meets his customer
face to face.
Unless a merchant can apply
these four principles successfully
to his SaleSmanship through ad-
vertising, his publicity will get
no more returns than a bad sales
man in his store. And let me say
here that no ordinary merchant
cali get the highest grade of sales
ship in his newspaper space with
out help. There are many reasons
for this. 1t has been found, for
instance, that he best way to Sc
cure attention is to use a good il
IuStratiOn. Nothing has a Surer
human interest effect or gets
quicker action than a we'll select
ed picture. To get such illustra-
lions you need not only a high

grade experience artist, but one
who has a first class knowledge
of advertising art. Then, it re-
qulreS considerable study and ex-
perience in descriptive literature
20 create interest in gOOdS-even
in those you are selling daily. A
gain, to bring conviction to the
mind of a reader surely and sue
ceSsfully, neceSSitates a knOwledg
OF how it has been done in thou
sands of other cases.
All this means that the up to
date merchant who desires to
make his advertising scien-
tlfically certain must either study
retail advertising as a part of his
business training or employ an
experienced advertising construct
Or.Thereis more in planning and
writing a successful advertise
ment than the ordinary retailer
realizes. And the smaller the ad-
vertiSement the more difficult the
process. Only those who have
made big successes by the employ
ment OF advertising in its most
efficient form know the true val
ue of craftsmanship through adver
tising.
The time is now due for the
ambitious retailer to learn some
thing about this art. If he does
not care about .plOdding at ac-
quiring then ecessary knowledge
himself, there are plenty of means
OF securing the right kind of
craftsmanship on paper, the kind
that will enable him to get one
hundred per cent value from his
advertising space. One of. the
best means is to buy syndicated
advertising Servise. Some of
these services have been brought
up to such a high pitcho f perfec-
tiOn that much of their advertis-
ing rated as equal to the best
that has made success for the big
department stores and notional ad
vertiSerS.
Constructing advertisements is
like the practice of medicine or
law, it requires a special training
to do it successfully. The aver
age merchant can no more build
an advertisement that will bring
sure returns than the avreage ad-
vertlSement writer can cue your
body or argue your case in the
courts. And the average mer-
chant who attempts to do it is
perpetrating as much harm to
his business as the amateur would
do to a human body if he tried to
doctor it.
Those Syndicated advertising
services are contructed by ex-
pertS of national reputation who
have had many years experience
In that class of work and who are
paid large salaries for their ser
vices. The low prices at which
the services are offered are only
made possible by the large num-
Der sold throughout the country.
For some of the services the
prices are as small as one dollar
per week.
Full particulars of those syndi-
Gated advertising services may be
obtained from the editor of this
paper. 1t is unwise for any re-
.alier to be without such means

when an amateur in England.
Wells probably has fought less bat
ties professionally than any champion
that ever stepped into the roped arena.
During the years OF loO4-'0-'6 and OF
he was the amateur lightweight cham
plon OF En~gland-the greatest record in
che history OF that class.
Before boxlE. in public Wells was a
member-and still is-of the Lynn Box
ing Club. They used TO hold bouts for
the members only and 1t was because
of the marked superiority he displayed
over any other nan in the organization
that they urged him to compete for
the amateur title for which any boxer

other day that the President OF that club
cabled him congratulating him on his
success In the States. Matt replied by
sending a handsome silver cup to be
fought FOR by the club members In tho
lightweight class.
Wells first fight as a professional was
fought against Battling l.. Croix. the

engaging In nine other u~nimportant
bouts and winning all OF them. he came
TO America and arrived here in March.
