CONTESTS BAD BUSINESS.

The plain fact Of the matter is that
newspaper contests with prizes for the
successful are bad business undertake
ings for the country printer-publisher.
A newspaper contest is a great deal
like battle, says Roy 7. Porte, in a
recent issue of the Printing Trade
News. While it is going on every
thing is excitment and the cost is not
considered Golden dollars keep up
their Jingle and all is rosy, but after
the contest there remains the cold,
cruel fact Of disappointment, and on
the lists Of the publishers hundreds of
subscribers who have to be carried for
years, and are IA constant drain on the
resources of the paper.
Many papers who in the heyday of
contests boomeG their circulation and
added bigger and better presses to keep
up with the increase have gone into the
hands of receivers or committees, F"
and if the real cause were known it
could be traced back TO the contests
that were used 10 initiate success which
was of too sudden a growth and became
in the end drag on the resources Of
the paper.
Notwithstanding this, there are pa.
pers which are still trying the contest
20, al la in, thau
would do little earnest figuring they
would soon discover they are building
on sand, and will one day repent.
The one thing that is striking is the
fact that the votes are counted by the
hundreds, the thousands and the tens
of thousands. You never hear of one
vote or ten votes, but great large num-
bers, which seemingly cast a glare over
the entire scheme, and to anyone who
analyses the idea, it is clear that these
amounts are used to make the scheme
look "big" and hide its real littleness.
How simple and foolish it looks for
a paper to offer automobiles, trips to
some distant resort, houses and lots,
when the proprietors OF the papers
themselves can't afford to buy set of
tires for an automobile, or the price Of
railroad ticket TO attend cost con
gress, and rents a cheap house in which
to live himself Wha, must the read
ers OF such paper think when they
see such things offered and know The
facts2
The whole thing is built on humbug,
is gold brick proposition, and sooner
or later the people will wake up to the
proposition, and the scheme will be
doomed to failure.
II n paper is not worth its subscrip.
tion price it has no reason for exist
ence; and il the same amount of force
and energy that is put into contest
were rightly used on the paper and the
right kind Of subscription agents ob.
tanned the paper would become pros
porous and escape the "comebacks'
that usually follow an alleged contest
There is nothing gained by spasmod
ic attempts at notoriety or imitation
OF circulation. The ter-etrects more
than kill whatever good may have beer
doue. From The Publishers Aux

A MISTAKEN IDEA

There are some people who still resort
TO drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in SCOTS
Emulsion IS eminently better, but refrain
from taking II because they fear it may
lead TO excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because SCOTS
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. It's blood.forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by It's continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

While peace is always desirable, it is
not certain that if hostilities could
cease at once that the best interests
of Europe or the world, for that matter,
would de served. For if fighting shou-
ID stop and the various nations now at
war should return to their old systems
and methods and ways, it would all
have TO be done over again later on.
For years Europe has been an armed
camp. That accounts for everything.
Let it remain an armed camp, and
where would he the security for the
future? 1t is perhaps better, in spite
Of the awfulness Of it, that the contest
should proceed until settlement can
be effected that will be permanent.
When peace comes it must put an end
to many things ,-Philadelphia In

Athens, Ga, Mich. 23rd, 10 a.
Editor Constitution.
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Please allow me to ask
when and where did Mr.. Hearst re-
receive his commission to dictate to
the voters Of Georgia who they
should elect to the United States
Senate? [ am tired of the subtle eff
fort that is being put forth by the
"Smithites' to keep the Hon. Jno. M.
Slaton out of the race for Senator
against the Hon. Hoke Smith. The
entering Of two Of his (Smith's) old
time political bed-fellows into the
race for the short term was an effort
to get Mr.. Slaton to run for that
place, they thinking he would
consider it easier to win there than
against Mr.: Smith, but ] am of the
opinion that Mr.. S1aton does not fear
the "Goliath' who is now in the
Senate, not by the vote Of the people,
but because of pull he had with
the Georgia Legislature. l travel
quite a lot over Georgia, and I have
got to hear my first man say that he
never had voted for Smith but will
next time, while on the other hand I
hear many say they voted for him
before, but Will never do it again.
Mr.. Hearst need not think that he
can bluff Mr.. Slaton by putting him
on notice that he will not support
him if he should run against Mr..
Smith, the people Of Georgia will not
be very greatly influenced by man
who is using all the pressure he can
hrir 70 n IF
the country to think that it is their
patriotic duty to grant free tolls to
so-called American vessels, thus rob-
btng ourselves to enrich few who
own said vessels. If they were
American owned vessels then there
would be little more sense in allow

THE CHURCH OF ROME BURNS
BIBLES.
BIBLES.


We have received from Mr.. L. V.
Finster, missionary in the Philip
pine Islands, a copy Of the Renaci-
miento Filipino, a daily paper pub
lished at Manila, dated Feb. 3, 1914,
giving an account of a great burn
ing of Bibles by the Catholic au-
thorities in the island of Luzon. In
large display type on the front page
of the paper is the following: ''Vi-
gan Friars Publicly Destroy $500
Copies of tn eHoly Scripture. Awe
struck Spectators on Plaza Witness
Anathema of Protestant Literature
by Representative Of Catholic Or
ganization. Three World Powers
May Be Plunged into Serious Con-
troversy as Result of Religious
Cine Exhibit"
The circumstances attending this
exhibition of bigotry are interesting.
We quote from the paper the follow
ing narrative:
Two thousand five hundred Bibles
burned in the public plaza of Vigan,
the largest and most important city
in Northern Luzon. Burned by rep
resentabHes Of the Catholic Church.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-04-30

Burned as an evidence of the dis
pleasure by the old established
church of the activity displayed by
the Protestant missionaries in
spreading the Word Of God through
the provinces. Thus, briefly, is told
the tale of the most fragrant and
Ubiquitous act perpetrated in the
name of religion since the days of
the Inquisition. And all of which is
an occurrence of the past week, and
which was not only witnessed by
thousands of spectators, but by in
vited spectators as we'll
Scarcely for centuries has SO gross
an act been committed as was the
burning in the plaza of Vigan, Ilocos
Sur, on anuary 1G, by the officials of
the Catholic Church, of the Bibles
given as premiums by the represen-
tatives of the American Bible Asso-
citation for admission to the Scrip
tural cinematograph pictures exhi-
bited by the travelling agent of that
association. Reported in Manila
only yesterday by returning specta-
tors, the occurrence has aroused the
authorities of both denominations,
and the result in all probability will
be an ecclesiastical question which
must of necessity involve some three
nations-The Waterman (Masonic)

ing them free tolls, but since have
no stock in said ships I am in favor
of the owners paying us for the use
of our Canal. Of course we will al
low our warships to pass through
free. Does the Hon. Hoke Smith
favor free tolls? If not, why should
Mr.. Hearst be so anxious for him to
return to the Senate. Mr. Hearst is
the man who would have our boys
rushed off to Mexico to be shot in
order to protect the interest of such
as he who have property there, and
while I was not Wilson man, adj
mire his stand in this matter. Watch
the lineup boys.

HOUSEHOLD MARKETING STA
TION FOR THE POSTOFFICE
AT ATHENS.

Washington, D. C.-Representa-
tive Tribble was today in conference
with First Assistant Postmaster
General Roper in regard to estab-
fishing household marketing sta
tion for the postofice at Athens, Ga.
He received good assurance that such
an experiment would be established
at Athens. Upon the establishment
of this new service in the postof1ce
department Mr.. Tribb1e has won
victory for the farmers and consum-
ers, for which he has been earnestly
and persistently contending.
The first bill he introduced in Con-
gross provided for transportation of
agricultural, horticultural, dairy and
poultry products through the mail at
a low rate. Each year he has rein
troduced this bill. Therefore, Mr..
Roper thinks his home town should
have one of the stations.
Mr.. Tribble, discussing the matter
today said:
''The postoffice department has
definitely decided to inaugurate a
system of household marketing by
the mails, and several stations will
be located throughout the United
States in the near future, and such a
system will be effective all over the
country as soon as it can be per-
fected. The postoffice department
should transport such products
through the mails, thus giving the
farmer a market. This will help
solve the problem of the high price
of living by furnishing the cities with
farm produce. The farmer will be
relieved from carrying his products
to the market every day by the rural
carrier, who comes to his door. The
consumer will receive the products
fresh every day from the farm and
the farmer will have a market;
therefore both the producer and the
consumer will be benefited.
The government has the equip
ment and the men to do this work,
and the movement is a simple propo-
sition of meeting the needs of the
people by using the force now en-
ployed, equipped and supported by
the government
MIR. Roper expressed himself IA
vorably in establishing an expert
ment station at Athens.

TWO GREAT MILWAUKEE Lee
TURES.

The knights of Luther of this city
had booked Otis L. Sturgeon for two
lectures here on April 16 and II.
Following word of the attack upon
him at Denver, from which resulted
the concelling of his lectures, the
committee in an eleventh hour ap-
pealed to VIM. Lloyd Clark who was
forced to cancel lecture in a smaller
town, expressed his willingness to
take Spurgeon's place and allow the
lectures to be run off as scheduled.
Mr.. Clark spoke to q large audi
ence of men and women, Thursday
night on "The Convent System"
His "Men Only" Friday evening filed
every available space in the old West
Side Turn Hall which has a normal
capacity of two thousand It was
estimated however, that there were
at least $500 persons in the building
at the time. Roman Catholic Nor
al Theology was the subject of his
Friday lecture, and he brought out
his facts in such way as to leave
no doubt in the minds of the audi
ence that the Roman Catholic moral
teachings were as Chiniquy so aptly
styled them, promulgated by the
Devil to damn the world
The audience was the most appre-
ciatiVe, responsive and intelligent
audience the writer ever saw in at
tendance at Patriotic lecture.
Mr.. Clark graphically portrayed
the attack upon our hero, Otis L.
Sturgeon, and every mention of his
name brought forth thunderous APP
ME ITcn hA
was made that the knights of Luz
Their would spare no expense or
leave no stone unturned to bring the
Denver rioters and ''Knights of Mob
and Murder to justice, a score or
more came forward Offering contri-
buttons toward this end, although
same were in no way solicited.
The writer, having the honor of
presiding at both lectures, had the
occasion to call the attention of the
audience to the fact that the news
papers, The Journal, Evening Wis
consin, Daily News and Free Press
CD refused to publish our paid ads
for these lectures when said ads in no
way carried anything Objectionable.
The Sentinel, Leader and Germania
carried our ads, but all with the ex-
ception of the Leader, made no re-
port of the lectures. It seems singu-
lar that any meeting of Roman Cath
ollcS, no matter how small receives a.
large Write-up, while a patriotic
meeting attended by $500 people re-
ceives not even a line of mention.
The local Castle, K of L. is plan
ming on having knight Spurgeon
here for lectures, just as soon as
that noble patriot is able.

he says: "a note given for
real estate is not acceptable" This
is not q clear statement, for the rea-
son that note given "for real es-
tate could only include purchase
money notes.
Section "a of the new law pro-
Vides: Amy national bank not To-
Gated in central reserve city, (the
central reserve cities are New York,
Chicago and st. Louis) may make
loans secured by improved farm
lands, ETC."
Notes "given for real estate" are
entirely foreign to this law and are
OF course not acceptable.
This section "a is the section in

money on his only collateral, i'm

Congress has given it's consent that
all the national banks in the eighteen
counties composing the Ninth Con-
gressiOnal District may lend, all told,
on improved farm lands, the sum of
$162,250. Congress has given it's
consent that all the national banks,
in the thirteen counties composing
the Eight District, may lend on i'm
proved farm lands, all told, the sum
of $279,137.
But if the National banks in the
thirty-one Georgia counties, should
lend these insignificant amounts, on
improved farm lands, these banks
could not use the farmers notes in
borrowing at the regional bank in
Atlanta.
No matter how much State bank
might lend on improved farm lands
the State bank could not use the
farmers notes as a basis Of borrow
ing at the regional bank in Atlanta,
unless the State bank had become a
member of this new banking system.
