If a man Iambasted you on the
eye and walked away and waited a
week before he repeated the perform

badly. Between attacks you would
have an opportunity to recover from
the effect of the first blow.
But if he smashed you and kept
mauling, each impact of his fist
would find you less able to stand the
hammering, and half-doZen jabs
would probably knock you down.
Now advertising is, after all,
matter of hitting the eye of the pub
lie. If you allow too great an inter-
val to elapse between insertions of
copy the effect of the first advertise
ment will have worn away by the
time you hit again. You may COM
tinue your scattered talks over a
stretch of years but you will not de-
rive the same bene.- that would re-
suit from a greater concentration.
In other words, by appearing i'm print
every day you are able to get the
benefit of the impression created the
day before, and as each piece of copy
makes its appearance the result of
your publicity on the readers mind

Persistency is the foundation of
advertising success. Regularity of
insertion is just as important as
clever phrasing. The man who hangs

Rome sent an army across the Medi-

The history of every mercantile

Every insertion of copy brings

To Bring
Christmas
to Salem
BIG MINSTREL SHOW FRIDAY AT
THE GRAND-PR0CEEDS WILL
BE DEVOTED TO GLADDENING
CHRISTMAS FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

The big minstrel show is to be given
Friday evening in the Grand opera
house. This is under the auspices OF
the Y, NJ c. A. Of Willamette Uniyer-
sity and the money derived from the
! performance will be used to give the
youngsters Of Salem who will not have
a real Christmas a chance to have one.
The show will be a high class mu-
sIcale and a clever minstrel combined.
The soloists who will lead the Choir
uses are all exceedingly well fitted to
handle the positions, and are old hands
at the business. The songs to be rem
dered are all new and snappy and you
will certainly get a good chance to
see what real chorus Of 10 people
can do.
The famous colored soloist, "Black
Pattie," and her renowned quartet
will render several selections, which
are all new to Salem. The great
comedians from the east will surely
show some good stunts, and keep the
people in an uproar from beginning to
end
The leading musician Of Tacoma,
stated after witnessing one OF the re-
hearsals last week that "the perform
ance to be given in Salem this coming
Friday is a show of the highest type
1t combines both the comical and high
class productions, in an exceedingly
clever manner and is certainly a
show Of great merit No one can af-
ford to miss It."
Furthermore, the orchestra to rem
der the songs on the big night is one
Of great fame, and this alone should
influence you to attend the show.
The price Of admission is very low,
1eng so cents for the orchestra circle |

The Way to
Cut Down
Expenses
NEW YORK WORLD MAKES SOME
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT REDUCING
THE COST OF LIVING AND SOME
CAUSTIC COMMENTS,

That Governor Wilson iavors
prompt action by the new Congress
to reduce the cost Of living is plainly
shown by the impatience with which
he receives suggestions that there
must be more commissions and more
inquiries "They have been inyestl-
eating the tariff all my lifetime" he
said
1t should be added that nobody
calls for a commission when he wants
to make up a tariff schedule. Com
missions gain favor only when the
people ask relief from the extortions
practiced upon them by favored in
terests. Commissions move slowly
and in the end accomplish nothing.
Junkshops everywhere are glutted
with reports Of commissions
The investigations of the tariff
that have been proceeding for life
time have not been altogether Off
cial. Consumers numbering millions
have taken the trouble to inform
themselves and they have learned
Some things thoroughly They know
that taxes can be decreased as easily
as they can be increased and they
know that If an increase can be made
In behalf Of a self-seeker overnight,
decrease need not necessarily be a
solemn and laborious proceeding coy-
ering months and years
If the people had been as atten-
tive to their own affairs as they
should have been these processes
would have been reversed. Taxes that
reach the food, clothing, household
goods and implements Of all Ameri-
cans have been imposed without in
quiry or discussion in a single day.
Jokers yielding millions to craft and
graft have been put into the law in
an hour. These wrongs are known
and they can be corrected by the
stroke Of pen. Measures for the
relief of the people have dragged
along for a generation.
Prompt action is necessary to keep
faith with the millions, to remove
uncertainty and to forestall further
agitation, but It is supported by an
other important reason It is neces-
'ary in order to destroy the super
'tition bred by the beneficiaries Of
that this tariff idol Is too
loly to be touched by those whose
substance its worshippers devour.

luguration as President seems to be

principles than by his utterances.

ing It stated that, III either King oi
Teal gets the place, It will not be the

While the Oregonian editors are
sticklers for the nlceties Of language
they are not so punctlllous about the

anything concerning the liquor or sa-
loon matters appeared In It's news col
