IN the case of w. w. Atkinson VS..

reasons which are more fully stated
by me in an interview given the press

quest the resignation of yourself and

z. Advertising Talks

There Is not wanting evidence that there is growing public feeling against the. abuse of. advertising by circulars. whether these are sent by mail or are delivered by hand, locally Recently a correspondent of the New York Herald wrote that paper:
 For years I have been steadfast ir refusing to deal with anybody whe puts advertising in my letter box II every tradesman pursued this absurd method advertising my trousers would always be baggy. my carpets would re main forever uncbeaned and l would do my marketing in New Jersey"
 Doubtless there are many other men who feel IS this correspondent does for advertising of this sort Is an un mitigated nuisance. When the adver Using circular is Bent by mail, wttt the proper postage prepaid. 1t is bad enough. and in so far as it helps ts swell tire postal revenue and so heIpa to bear the burden of carrying the reg ular and important mails is not alto gether to fbe condemned. But there is no excuse for the tradesmen who em ploy agents to fill private letter boxes intended, for the reception of the regu lar mail. with tRsear useless literature
 And on one othssr ground we believe protest against the advertising circu- lar. One of thschief trades that often offends in this regard is the patent medicine vendor His circulars are thrust into letter boxes, scattered over lawns that in any case, are hard enough to keep clean and neat, and even jammed under the front door. Many of these circulars are atrocious in their frank discussion of the numer- ous ills ito which flesh is heir" and to add to the~ horror of the letterpress they are often eked out with gaudy colored pictures of various parts of the human anatomy. It is. more than lit tie task to keep this grewsome and unwholesome literature out of the hands of children, for when the adyer- tiser gets busy such scirculars are on every hand.
 So much of this sort of circular ad- vertising is to be seen cluttering up the streets and alleys, filling the gar bage cans and littering the front porches that it should seem that ad vertisers must realize what wastefui and useless form of advertising this is. Probably there is. no form of print- ed literature in so low repute as the circular. It has nothing back of it; it is an unweicome visitor; usually fts objectionable features are recognized at glance as it goes into the waste paper basket unopened.
 The public that purchases looksSto the reputable newspaper forfthe adsvep tisements of the goods it wauts. for behind such advertising there ifsschar- acter Against the chamctorIess ad- vertising circular. that is public and & private nuisance. there should. be an ordinance enacted that weuld check the industry and whichi wouldy certain ly go long way toward. helyang keerr the city clean

Hot Springs

The fatal fire which swept over Hot Springs has caused a gener- q sentiment of regret and the sympathy of the entire country is extended to the city.
 It is not so much sympathy the people of Hot Springs want now but substantial help. In their present condition it is almost im- possible to look after, care for and house the thousands of home less people left without food. shelter. clothes or the meager necessities of life.
 Such . fatality is likely to hap pen in any city and at any time. Chicago, Boston, Baltimore have all been visited by just such sweeps of flame.
 Human charity is agrea t thing. When the appeal went forth from stricken San Francis @ the response was immediate, w1s generous and was cordial. The city received far more than TIT aboolutely necessary.
