THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Case Of the Trained Athlete and the
Poor Foreigner That illustrates
Power of Publicity.

provided an athlete, trained to the
! minute, fitted out with the best money
can buy in the shape of specially pre-
pared shoes, walking sticks. loose-ft-
ting and comfortable clothing and re-
ireshments, walks across the contin-
ent in anything like reasonable time,
he is given wide publicity, is wined
and dined and is proclaimed a being
OF great endurance, determination
and self-will, think-nothing-of-suff
ing climb-over-a-barrier, set-all-obsta-
cles-aside sort of person.
But man in need of work and de-
termined to get it. probably not in
the best of physical condition, short
OF clothes and without knowledge as
TO where he is to get his next meal.
can walk 5000 miles, can undergo all
sorts of hardships and self-denials.
and he would not even be given cred
1t Tor having done anything out of the
ordinary.
Aside from other features of the
comparison, it all goes to show what
advertising Will do in any branch of
human existence or endeavor.
When the athlete starts out on his
long tramp he is advertised far and
wide and the eyes of the country are
directed toward him. If he fails to
complete his journey he is soon for
gotten, but ii he succeeds, he is a he
70.
But in the case of the other man.
ne Is not advertised and nothing is
heard of him from one end of the
Journey to the other, so it does not
matter whether he fails or succeeds.
And the same condition applies in
other walks of life. The man who is
wloe awake, who directs attention to
himself by advertising, by not only
blowing his own horn but having 9th
ers blow loud blasts on it occasion
ally is more certain than is the man
VINO starts out without a blare of
trumpets or without an attempt to at
tract and keep the attention of the
public
Recently New York fireman set
out from the Atlantic coast CITY to
walk TO this coast. He was a trained
athIete and made the trip in good
time and got a whole lot of notorietv
and considerable money out of the
Trip. He was advertised far and near.
And recently a tailor whose home
was in Poland, received word that
employment awaited him at the hands
OF an old friend in Redwood City. Cal
The tailor left Poland, without knowl-
edge as to the length or breadth of
the United States and arrived in New
YORK city four months ago. When
told that he had yet to cross the con-
tinent, he pluckily set out to walk the
distance, being without funds to pay
his fare.
He made the trip from New York
city to Oakland in three months and
Two weeks, doing odd jobs en- route
to pay his expenses.
Upon reaching Redwood Civ he
was at once employed.
The accomplishment of the needy
tailor, comments the Oakland. Cal
Enquirer, is more worthy of notice
than is that of the athletic fireman
But the tailors long tramp was NOT
advertised
For that reason he has failed tn at.
tract much attention and but little an
pIause for his exhibition of endnr-
ance and determination.

Lies Weary Round

Nothing to do till tomorrow,
And then all over again
The roar of the spindle and shuttle,
The scrape and the scratch of the pen
Nothing to do till tomorrow,
And then the same purpose. same plan
In the day-after-dayness of living
That conquers the spirit of man.
Nothing to do till tomorrow,
And then all the old worry DER.
Each day-but for grace of its dreaming
The same as the day before!-

The DORkey'S Ears PTutrude.

The adoption by the House of Repre-
sentatives of an amendment to the iu-
dietary bill, requiring the President in
making nominations to the Federal
bench to make public the names of all
persons endorsing the appointments, is
so palpably an assault on the preroga-
tive which the Constitution lodges sole
ly with the. executive and the Senate as
TO excite amazement that a majority of
the Democratic members were willing
to go on record in its favor. Such n
provision will be treated by the Senate
with the contempt it deserves, or If
that body should so far abdicate its
rights as to assent, the President would
be recreant to his constitutional obliRa-
lions If not answering the attempted
usurpatlon with veto. Performances
Of this character by the majority in the
House are calculated to shake the conf
dence of the people in the ability of the
Democrats to wisely administer the
government. 1t is no excuse for those
supporting the measure that they knew
1t could never become a law and only
voted for it in Difference to Mr.. Bryan's
lnsistent wish. An exhibition so asinine
is likely to cost the party more votes
than would be lost by rejecting bad
leadership from any individual. 1t
were great deal cheaper to make Mr..
Bryan temporarily angry than to make
the Democracy in Congress ridiculous
in the sight of the country.-Norfolk

Many people go round and round
chasing after the ideal and unattain-

Chummy Virginia Senators.

Senators Swanson and Martin, OF
Virginia, are the chummiest pair OF
Senatorial colleagues we have. They
take lunch together in the Senate res
taurant so regularly that if one of them
were to come in and eat his rations all
alone or with some other companion it
would cause as much talk as an affinity
scandal.-The Washington Herald.
