Something About Advertising.

1t is almost the unanimous opinion of
the leading merchants in all of the larg-
er cities, that newspaper advertising is
their most valuable asset. Bills that are
printed at considerable cost and scatter
ed prOmiscOusly through the city do not
reach but few, for they are thrown up
On pOrches or in Railways and almost in
variably kicked or thrown into the street
An advertisement in two or more of the
papers in the city would reach thousands
OF readers and thus be valuable in call
ing attention to the merchant and the
class of goods he has for sale. The
merchants that advertise are those who
do the business, as he is very noticeable
in this city. merchant cannot expect

Good Advice.

The following taken from an exchange
we commend to the careful perusal of a
lot OF men who are making themselves
miserable in order to accumulate prop
erty to leave to others to get rid of:
IF you have a little farm or business
and are out of debt, do not fret or work
yourself and your good wife into the
grave for the sake of making money.
You have but one life to live, and that is
very brief at best. Take a little COM
fort and pleasure as you go along day
by day and try to do a little good to
others. A morbid, insatiate desire to
grab everything in sight is at the foun-
datlon OF more misery than almost any
one thing. Wealth alone will never
keep your memory green after you are
gone-a good life and kind actions will.

European War ReproduCes Condi-
tiOnS of a Century AQO.

The grayest foreign situation with
which the United States has been con-
fronted during the present generation
Is curlously like the one which the
statesmen Jefferson and Madison faced
In the early years of the nineteenth CEN
tury. England was engaged in a til
tantic grapple with the chief military
power of the Continent, then France in
stead OF Germany as now. England was
supreme on the sea, France invincible
ashore. Eapoleon's armies, like the
kaiSer's legiOns, were unable to get at
their opponent while England could not
cope with Napoleon ashore. Resort was
had therefore to contest of endurance.
Napoleon interdicted English trade with
the Continent, to which the English re-
piled by proclaiming a close blockade of
all the coast line controlled by the great
dictator. Not even England's navy
could make good this decree, but it was
more than matched in audacity by Ma
poleon's counter stroke, the proclama
tiOn IF blockade of the British Isles, at
a time when the French navy was close
ly co0ped mp in the home harbOrs. OF
course the United States, then as now
the chief natural power of the world,
was the greatest sufferer from all this.
After patiently enduring repeated out
RACES year after year at the hands of
France and England alike. the country
in 1912 entered light-heartedly and with
almost no preparation into war with
the mistress of the seas.

UNCALLED FOR IS
VIEW OF BANNER
So Says Jefferson Paper in Regard
to Times Attitude Toward
Judge Kirkland.

In the issue of last Friday, there ap-
peared in the Watertown Times publish
ed at Watertown, an article headed
SANITARY Inquiry Farce" Following
are parts of the article as we do not be-
lieve it necessary to publish it in full:
Putting three attorneys against two
citizens who had appealed to his court
for protection from alleged threats up
on their lives and who were not them
selves versed in legal procedure, Judge
r. B. Kirkland conducted sanity in
quiry in the case of William g. Cody
that was branded by attorneys who were
present as farce"
Little or no attempt was made to
draw out any testimony that might have
any bearing on the matter in question.
Hardly had the witnesses been sworn
when they were subjected to grilling at
tacks from Mr.. Codv's attorneys, assisted
by the district attorney and Attorney
Lynn H. Smith, guardian ad litem.
Their motives were assailed unmerci-
fully by the attorneys and the Judge, ac-
cording to those present. And when
these four witnesses had been thus ex-
amined the petitioners signifed that
they had enough. Naturally, it was un-
necessary for the defense to put any of
its numerous witnesses on the stand"
The article we, and others believe was
utterly uncalled for and especially in
regard to the court as Judge Kirkland
has the reputation of being an able and
Just judge and we don't belive the above
will change their opinion.
Attorney Lynn Smith informs us and
others say that he never asked question
and it was the duty of the district at
torney to get in the case
Incidentally and not part of this
article, we wish to say that the recent
Sunday salOOn-closing cases held here
have not helped the cause for keeping
open on Sunday at that place. Jefferson
Banner
The following item, taken from the
Jefferson Co. Democrat contains the
truth. The trouble has suDsided, reason
having obtained and there is no possi-
bility of ''closed" town, except on Sun
days, and many of the saloonmen closed
their saloons on that day of their own
accord:
'1t would appear that certain citizens
of Watert0wn are taking the most effec-
tive steps to make their city perman-
emily CLOSED town and are unwittingly
injuring their home city. The sanitary
proceedings against Mr.. w. 6. Cody has
reused great protest from the cOnserv-
ative element, including the leading
manufacturers, and the controversy, al
though settled In court, has left many
score to be settled. From an article
in one of the Watertown papers, one
might almost be led to believe that the
happiness of the whole community were
jeopardized."
