Lord Northcliffe Makes Italian Censor

elusive War News.

Lord Northcliffe, who began his
career as the proprietor Of wretch
ed little penny weekly called An
swers to Correspondents, now owns
the London Times and pretty nearly
every other newspaper and maya
zine in England.
"Northcliffe," said a New York
man who once worked for him, els a
hustler-an original hustler. Take
this Turkish-Italian war, for in
stance.
"Northcliffe, when the war broke
out, couldn't get any news through
from Rome. He inquired into the
matter, and his Roman correspon-
dent got word to him that the CEN
sor was censuring every darned thing
he wrote.
"Northcliffe then sent back the
message:

AND THE COOK
General Cordon's Old Negro Nanny
Too Proud to Meet the
President.

President Cleveland went to visit
Gen. John B. Gordon at the Gordon
plantation in Georgia. The dinner
was superb and President Cleveland
asked who cooked it. General Cor
Ion told him his cook was an old
negro nanny who had been slave
in the Gordon family before the war
and had continued as cook, says the
Washington Star.
S'I'd like to shake hands with that
cook" said the president.
General Gordon sent servant to
ask the nanny to come to the din
ing room. The servant came back
with this message: "Tell Marse John
1 won't come"
"Did you tell her what I wanted
her for?" asked the general, sharply.

"Tell me exactly what she said"
"She said," blurted the servant, in
an agony of apprehension, s'she said,
"Ah'se not a-comin'. Ah'se lived

lam all nah life"
President Cleveland shouted with
laughter.

Editor Holley of the Tribune in
last week issue of his paper. took
occasion to cast reflections upon
the county commissioners. and
having INDUCED in this depression
three separate and distinct times,
is now no doubt consider
ably relieved of his pent-up indig-
nation. The reason for this out
ward expression of an inward ILL
feeling toward that body is that at
their recent meeting they appoint
ed three official papers for the
present year which did not include
the Tribune. Had the Tribune
been designated we presume the
comment would have been COM
mandatory instead of disparaging.
We understand that the commits
sioners switched from the Tribune
to the Advocate because the Trib-
une was designated last year and
they believed it only fair to make
changes where they could legally
do SO under the law. No doubt
the Tribune's turn will come again
next year and if so there will be
no complaint from this quarter.

ZDVER Using TALKS
BIZ WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

The Continent, a publication devoted to
church interests, has advocated for some
time the use of the paid printed word as
means of attracting people to the
churches.
The following extract from an article in
one of their recent issues needs no fur
Their comment:
Because, men can be reached in their
homes and their offices by printed appeal,
is there any good reason why the church,
with a message which for Virility and
pungency excels all present advertised
things, should depend so exclusively on
the method of personal solicitation or
appeal to them after they have been at
tracted to the church by the music or
the pastors text?
Merchants or manufacturers who want
to reach the heads of firms whose time is
limited print their appeal in publications
which reach that mans desk. Then they
send along their salesman. The ground is
prepared, the man gets more ready
hearing. But while printing the appeal
to reach one man, it has reached hun
dred men, often without their knowing it.
The psychological effect of advertising
is understood by the high salaried men in
the employ of the various advertising
agencies. Many concerns depend on their
advertising man to sell their entire out
put. OF course the goods themselves must
have merit, but the advertising opens the
way.
If the church has an appeal for all men;
if we believe in the universal truth of the
and reach them in their homes, or at their
desks. Why wait until John Doe is drag
ged to church by his wife, or can find
no other place to go? The church wants
the attention of men who are busy. 1t
wants the men who are doing things in
the world of business and commerce. but
nevertheless continues to use the tactics
of a half century ago, when the church
was the natural and almost only meeting
place on Sunday.
If the church wants ed-blooded men,
let's adopt means which will appeal to
to come. Let the church conduct an ag-
gressive advertising campaign which by
its dignity, it's directnesS and the marvel
Gus power of the gospel will pull them to
the activities of the church.
In addition to the direct result of getting
men who could not be reached in any
other way, the contribution plates can be
affected Men of large incomes are glad
to support the cause which appeals to
them. The individual church adopting
these tactics will have a community pull
ing power equivalent to that of any bus
When people think of Church it will be
sstht- First church. which will come to
their minds instinctively. The indirect re-
suits of advertising of such an ALIEN
bracing proposition as any particular
church are too large for imagination
There is larger field in display adver-
Using for churches than there is in
s.publ.city,' meaning news items which
must pass the managing editor.
There can never be in the news columns,
however, the direct personal appeal of the
display advertisement, and the display ad-
II the ads are written by experienced
hands the results will surely justify the
effort.

SAYS UNCLE CAV

| I'd rather be a creditable ancestor to
long line of descendants than be a
disgrace to a long line of perfectly good
ancestors. I'd rather be jealous of my
ancestors than proud of them and 1 am
I'm afraid they We're better men than /.
and I'm ashamed to let the neighbors
know anything about them until I
make up the deficit.
There's a spindle-shanked, slant
proved, lisping little rattlebox of a man
in my block who has something on me.
He has a choice collection of ancestors
who are nearly as good as mine. He is
perfectly happy in advertising the fact
so perfectly happy in the assurance
that his ancestors will be proud of the
publicity he is giving them few
hundred years after their respective
demises, that he doesn't consider it
enrich the family record. He is just
as comfortable in his ancestor worship
as you are in your religion, and he
wouldn't be presumptuous enough to
try to add one more creditable name TO
the line. Anyway, he doesn't think t
necessary. That's where he has 1t on
me.
I'm afraid my neighbors aren't very
much interested in what my great
grandfather did for his country. I sus-
pecC they ma the tales OF my aunt5
uncle's cousin pretty dry listening. But
they do show a disposition to know
how I make my living, what ticket I
vote and what provision I have made
for my children. They are also inclined
upon occasion, to say harsh things
about my shortcomings and to pat me
on the back when 1 do something that
meets with their approval They're
willing to ask questions about what
I've been doing today or did yester-
day, but they never make inquiries
about what my father did. He might
have been q saint or a horse thief, a
king or a swineherd, for all they know
or care.
1 was talking to a crusty old neigh
Dor about this one day, and he assured
me that my conclusions in the matter
were correct.
You couldn't pawn the dingbats on
your coat of arms, if you had one, to
pay your groceryman," said he. land
if you didn't meet your monthly bills
from the department store in which I
own stock, I couldn't accept in pay
nent wood from your family tree.
Neither would I consider myself more
highly honored to be cheated by a man
of ancestry than by one who never had
any worth talking about"
Which is about all there is to say
upon that subject.-CCopyright, 1912, by
w. E. Williams)
