REPASS IN THE SENATE.
Washington, Aug 1.-THE presi
dent today vetoed the steel bill In
his message he said it provided for
revenue only and took no account OF
protection of American industries.
Taft gave as another reason for his
veto that the bill affected not only the
iron and steel industry, but SO allied
industries. which, he said, were
worthy of separate classifcations
FOR INQUIDY FIRST.
Taft wrote, II am not willing to ap.
prove legislation of this kind, which
vitality affects not only millions of
workingmen and families, but hun.
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
stocks and goods in hands of store
keepers and distributors generally,
without first providing a careful disin'
terested inquiry into the conditions of
the whole industry" The president
said he would veto the legislative and
executive appropriation bill.
After the veto message was read in
the house, Underwood provided an
hours debate. after which a vote on
passing the bill over the veto will
be taken
REPEALS RECIPROCITY.
The democratic cotton tariff bill
passed the senate SO TO 10. II carried

ADVERTISING IN ENGLAND
Does Not Produce the Results OBJ
tained in This country-Rates
Are High.

A. d. Lasker. managing director OF
the Lord & Thomas agency of Chicago,
who arrived in New York recently
from England, where he has spent
some time in studying advertising con-
ditions. has this TO say about the sit
uation:
Advertising in England has not
shown sufficiently profitable returns to
warrant a greater outlay for publicity
that is nov apparent, and the news
papers. of course, are as great losers
by this lack OF understanding as the
advertisers themselves.
IF English producers and merchants
would adopt similar methods to the
American and pay big money to first
class men, advertising would quickly
tell different story than 1t does at
present OF course know that adver-
tising rates are high in England, but
profitable. Profitable advertising would
mean more of it. and more advertis-
Ing would bring down the rates.
Il believe that newspapers make
the best medium for publicity of all
kinds, because they reach a wider
tield and results are quicker. More
over, newspapers exercise a certain
supervision over their advertising col
umns and censor anything that may
be fraudulent in character"

Joying the passing promenade of peo-

senate He was aroused from his rev.

Before the senator could regain his

Mr.. O'Gorman tried to press the
young lady for her business but, like
the first, she slipped away and was

1t is said that, up in northern Col

We don't wonder at the distorted
taste after eating those things they
call Northern Colorado potatoes for
the past 20 years. They used to feed
those vegetables to the pigs; but
they killed so many of the animals
they had to revert to using the out
put for domestic purposes.-Criterion
Northern Colorado spuds may have
killed some pigs, but they failed to
get Hanes' goat after eating them
about three years. He may be the
exception that proves the rule, how

We don't care what Ray SAYS. and
his personal castigations do not hurt
us in the least. Northern Colorado
spuds are simply not fit for a dog to
eat; and, if Ray still persists in us
ing them, he is showing himself a
traitor to the canine tribe. II he
says we ate such stuff when we were
in that district he utters a malicious
falsehood, which is in accordance
with his depraved nature. We note
with much satisfaction that the

HOW CITIES MAY ADVERTISE
Slogans That Fail to Attract Attention
Because They Lack Meaning A.
though Well Phrased.

In speaking on the subject of mu-

Boston said recently: Advertising is
anything which gets publicity. Sue
cessful advertising is anything which
delivers the goods. Good advertis.
ing is story Of goods which adver-
tise themselves. Much advertising is
inadvertent and would be gladly sup
pressed. but the publicity which at
tracts attention at least explains how
to advertise. Cities have been adver-
tised by typhoid fever, bubonic
plague. tuberculosis. fires, floods and
earthquakes. The advertising is Just
