These busy men were bankers, merchants, lawyers, doctors and capitalists, men who are at the bat in pushing Atlanta. These big. brainy men, realize what Christianity means as a force in the development and progress of a city.
 The acts of these big business mea are in marked contrast to some of the business men of our own city who are not only refus- ing to ally themselves with Christianity but are locking their very doors on the Christian min. isters and workers who go to present the cause of Christ for their consideration.
 Something is wrong when busi. ness men take such a stand and it is easy to understand that there can be no real progress and development in our city un-

CONFIDENCE VITAL
 FACTOR IN SUCCESS
y WILLIAM .. FIREMAN.

My old friend Victor H. Hanson. publisher of the Birmingham NewS. waa recently baHquete4 ty Otef 100 representatives of the big bnsiness in- tercsts In nis homai ejtSx becausei bf the work that he and his paper have done and are doing for the ebnmnnity.
 Mr. Hanson made heart-to-heart. wholesome speech on this occaeiou, treating of newspaper making gsner- ally--the duties and responsibilities Of the editor and publisher. and thea had this to say about sdvertiSfhg:
 Advertising in . good newepapef 1. profitable advertisinS. II you heye something to eGll you can. % 10 ,joh printer and have lot of bi1ls struck on and distribute them around town. That is advertising ip the crude state. Put the aaame matter in any k)nd' of | newspaper and that is adveftising In | more advanced and effective form. ln. sert the same copy n . uewspapsr that goes into the hotne. with . hold upon the affections of the family. cir cle, and that is ADVERTISING IN THE HIGHEST STATE.
 Al time goes on and the confidence and esteem of the reader attdch them selves to the paper THE HABIT OF READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS in that paper becomes nxed and n advertising medium is established. The subtle forces that enter into the establishment of paper as par per in which ads are read are perfect. iy well recognized in the nswspaper business It is not necessAFy every time you stand up for the right h your newspaper to pollute your action with the thought that you are going to get paid for 1t in the long run. N h enough to have a serene conviction that IF YOU RUN YOUR PAPER RIGHT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A SQUARE DEAL the countinG4FooEn will take care of itself.
 And he said this other thing about newspapers:
 THE CONFIDENCE or TfEK READER IS A VITAL FACTOR n NEWSPAPER SUCCESS. regard the intelligent and faithful perforn' ance of the primary function of pub fishing the news as % per cent of the whole profession or science of news paper publishing. Accuracy and [ sense of proportion and responsibility i belong to this item. think that one of the greatest injuries suffered by modern journalism comes te q through lack of fufl sense Of the re ] sponsibility that there II upon thG { newspaper and the newspaper man. Mr. Hanson is determined that hi1 newspaper shall stand for news that isis reliable and the printing uf Adxss
 tisements that can be believed In,
 From reports that come to m : about the Birmingham Newt, 10 fl forging to the front rapidly becausl Of the practice of its ideals. The aver i age newspaper publisher is givila more serious thought than he eSel did to the responsibility placed upoG
 him. 30 far as the publication ef [ se.iable newspaper is concerned.
