Senator MiLus POlNDsxrER NJ Wash

present drift of public opinion. In his
speech before the Indiana ProgresSiv We
state convention on Saturday he fore.
cast great boom for Colonel ROOsE.

activity at Washington and desire I,

every reaso 10 believe that the people
are sick of Federal Interference and
desire To I've left To their own devices. at
least long enough 10 find out how recent
innovations operate.
This general and growing attitude is
shown in no way more clearly than In
with the Presidents programme OF trust
legislation. There can be- no doubt ms
to the reluctance of Congress to proceed
with these measures. Loaded with
possibilities Of trouble as they are. the
Representatives and Senators whose
seats fall vacant are afraid TO take
them before their constituencies as ne

ago the bills-now jocosely spoken OF as
the -Four Furies were regarded n in

fort by the President restored their
tiickering vitality, and his act fell far
short of winning the hearty approval
Of the Administration press. The Presi-
dents most ardent aud unconpromi sing

The fact Is that if Colonel RoosrNtiI

To THE EDITOR OF the SuH-Str: The

The rank and file of people in Greater
New York have absolutely no idea OF the
sound Of "a" In that large class OF words
that includes TASK" chance" last"

they pronounce the "a in these words
exactly the same as "a" In "black," bad"
Now, the "a In ASK" Is pronounced
much more like "a" in father" The

suicide by hanging herself in one

A COMPARISON.

You remember Robinson Crusoe,
DO YOU not? What Of him? Well,
we just want to remind you of a
virtue, he possessed and show you
now he applied it and what the re-
suits were because we know you will
BE interested. Did you know he was
the most persistent advertiser known
to history? Think what might have
happened if he had decided that adj
vertlsing did not pay after a few
attempts to attract the attention Of
the public? His advertising medium
was just All old shirt on a pole. 1t
happed and tapped in the wind till
MS ad copy was frayed end tattered
but Crusoe prepared q new display
id and day after day, week after
week, endlessly and cheerfully he
advertised his wants tho he had a
scant and uncertain chance Of reach
ing the public. ~.. e.,
How do you compare with Crusoe
as persistent advertiser? Are you
Keeping a signal hoisted constantly
II do you sometimes get discouraged
and let the pole lie fiat while the
ship you wish to summon goes by
anbeeding? Think it over and then
some in and give us an ad foi' next
weeks paper and tell us you want
as to keep your flag flying week at
ser week, endlessly. Persistency pays.
