These are the agencies that are

lightened advertisers, enlightened
publishers and enlightened advertis-

movement Things are being done, but
we need cooperation or the part OF
all advertising men.
We need local committees that are
alive and wide awake to find adver-
Using that is not honest and not
afraid to make q fuss about the OBJ
~jectionable copy that appears in their
local publications.
We need cooperation with the Ma
tional Vigilance committee which has
at it's disposal a fund. for the prose-
cution and exposing of the takers in
the advertising field.
We need the loyal backing of every
advertising man In America, and we
ought to get 1t, because the mainten-
ance of public confidence in advertis-

a mighty close relationship to his

Now We have settled everything ex-

hardest of all to answer, what is OBJ
~jectionable advertising2' The Vigilance
committee works upon the basis that
advertising is Objectionable If it in
any ann or in any degree perpe-

advertiser who is known to be unfair

he will get more in quantity or value
than the advertiser intends to give
him, o have a case for Investigation.
We have prepared a series of differ

consider objectionable. They are

in almost any publication and In de-

A Compliment to Judge MocIsnahan

It has just leaked out, says The
Brainerd Tribune coming in a round
about way from the state capital, that
Judge W. S. McClenahan Of this city
was last week rendered an appoint
ment as one of the commissioners pro-
vided for by act of the legislature, to
work with the present justices of the
supreme court. The salary is $1,000
per year, but Judge McClenahan pre-
ferred to continue his work as a dis
trict Judge and promptly declined the
appointment. When questioned in re-
gard to the matter. he remarked that
he had nothing to say for publication.
1t was known to a few of his friends,
however, at the time, that the APP
pointment was rendered him by the
justices Of the supreme court, and de-
clined.
