VICTORY OVER BII.I.-BOARDs

R%HE CITY OF St. Louis has finally won in III litigation extending over nine years, aeainst the operations of 8 billboard combine The statute was moderate, merely liInifing he ighI of such boardings to f4 feet and a max ina1m area of 300 square feet If such regula- tions are not established, there will be no linl- iIs to the deforned advertising that will grow up in vacant city lots and suburbs,
 If it is constitutional to limit bill boards to certain heights and lengths. why can not this limitation be carried inde finiteIy n the interest bf the public good2
 To travellers on American railroads, one of the most disgusting sights is the way adverr Using bill-b0ards thrust themselves against country scenery. When one escapes from the routine Of home scenes or thesrestless crowd ing of cities, one looks with anticipation for the serene peace of rivers and hills and forests. Yet on almost any line with heavy travel, the the most grotesqae form shutting out the hop ed for message from Mother Nature.
 On some lines there is an almost contin- uDus succession of these obnoxious and ugly notices People pay down good money for the refreshment of country scenes, and are solicit ed against their will to buy some one's corsets or tooth paste
 A great many people conceive strong feeling of dislike against the company that chooses this method of advertising. One would think that publicly seekers would begin to think that they are not buying the good will of the public, when they choose a method Of ad- vertising that is so unpopular.
 Meanwhile the end of this tiresome Itigar ton in St. Louis will encourage host Of i'm provement societies and civic associations. which have always believed that bill boards could be outlawed or greatly curbed through legal means.

LABOR'S OPPOSITION TO SWOLLEN BONDING

But the same debt incurred for un- productive things would be burden upon everybody and particularly upon those who live in their own homes or who are among the great army of rent payers.
 This action by organized labor is an intel- ligent recognition of the economic truth, that taxation is like stone which strikes every stair and finally rests upon the bottom. The producer pays the freigh

MAYOR WILSON SAYS DEBT IS
 A GOOD THING, BUT OTHER
 STATESMEN THOUGHT OTHERWISE

T ITS LEFT for Bridgeport to display muni- U cipal governme nt committed to the policy that great public debt is . good and blessed thing, and that a greater debt means a greater Bridgeport
 Hitherto it has been the plan of state and municipal governments to take pride in extin- gushing the debt. And this also has been the almost unbroken policy of presidents of the United States. Debt has sometimes been in cured, but the policy has ever been to regard that debt an evil and to pay it off as soon as possible.
 Washington $ messages to congress are full of this understanding of the injurious quality of public debt Tn his sixth annual address he said The time which has elapsed since the commencement of fiscal measures has develop ed OUT pecuniary resources so as to open the way for the redemption Of the public debt.''
 He said: THE PROGRESSIVE ACCUMu- LAYTON OF DEBT MUST IJLTIMATELYA EN- DANGER ALL GOVERNAIENTS.s'
 Thomas Jefferson knew the evil of great debt; in his second annual message he said
 ssWllen effects so salutary result from the plans you have already sanctioned; when merely by avoiding FALSE OBJECTS of ex- pense we are able to make large anc effectua1 payments toward the discharge of our public debt and the emanci patton of posterity from. that mortal canker it is an encourag cement, fel- low citizens Of the highest order to proceed as we have begun in substituting economy for tax ation.''
 Andrew Jackson, during his admin stra- ton. extinguished the public debt of the United States, and when this task had been completed he essaid.
 The experience of other nations adrnon- he'd us to hasten the extinguishment Of the public debt. K N 7sss the great statesmen of the United States have denounced public debt as an evil. So far as history shows Bridgeport pos sesses the only school of economists the orI ys statesman living or dead, who have declared fos the world that a big debt is 8 good thing for a commuTity. sza l

ADVERTISING AND QUALITY

O JALITY IS the only permanent basis of 2 success in any article. There is little money in selling an article once. The profit comes when YOU sell some one some kind of thing over and over again Fo get that Ri ind of trade you must deliver the goods.
 < business man who paid down good money to advertise goods that he could not hack up would be a,fool. II he wider he distri- buted them, the more trouble he would have. Not merely would the goods come back, but the people who bought them and were disappoint- Cd would tell all their neighbors This would cfeate bad will Instead of good will.
 The public understands these facts per fectly. When a merchant talks publicly about his goods, the public looks at it as guarantee of good quality. In fact advertising standar- dizes quality. The public accepts statements made in a well advertised store at face value, feeling that Hhe merchant is under the bonds oi publicity 10 make good.

SPRING FEVER

 shrewd sellers of patent medicine long ago |capitalized that tired feeling Who can make even a wild guess at the enormous amounts Of money spent for remedies and nostrums, good and bad supposed to connteract this physical weariness. OId-fashioned people have favorite traditional remedies which they always take at this period for general internal houseclean- ing.
 Years ago. when industry was less highly organized and specialized, people would listen to tn spring g7time call of out door life more freely. The spirit of the season would seize hold. of 6 merchant and his clerks or a room full of mechanics. They would lock up and go fishingasor picnicking for the day. Prob ably their product at the end of the year was ljlst as large as if they had stayed in and yawn- ed the afternoon away.
 Modern life is more intricate Few people can yield to the call of the woods and streams for holiday of idleness. Every mans daily his task it would throw dozen out of work lSo the mechanic or the business man has to put out of his head the dreams of vagrant ease and keep digging to the task.
 This regular labor in the face of all soAlnter attractions 4has disciplinary value It cTeates an irolu strial machine whose product surpa sses the world But it excludes many natural en- ioyments and wholesome primitive sports.

New Form Of Civilization.

That the Basutos in South Africa
are capable of emerging from their
tribal system into a new form of civ.
ilization, apart from white influence
whatever, is the belief. Of Lord Sci.
borne, a former high commissioner
for South Africa.
But 1t will take a great many gen,
erations," he added. Yet the process
has begun, and 1t is very interesting
10 see the evolution from the ordinary
hut to the nice house, and also to
see the evolution from the tribal sys-
tenn of cultivation to that Of individ.
ual tenure Of land. Those In Europe
who think that our civilization might
be improved by u abolition of all
forms of private property might do
worse than consider the attempts Of
the more intelligent Basutos to escape
from their tribal system"
Lord Selborne further declared his
conviction that there VAS nothing to
fear from the Basutos In South Africs
unless they were m~isgoverned.

of folks and makes friends with all
sorts and conditions of men. One day
while on an outing in the Ozarks he

type. The two men spent the day In
the woods together and returned to
camp old friends, and then Mr.. Handy
learned that he was not the only n
on the expedition who had been study
