Exit Fake AdvertisinR

Wisconsin has what is regarded as a model antifake advertising law. This law provides that the advertiser must not misrepresent his goods in any par ticular, neither may he make mislead- ing statements, without placing him. self liable for heavy penalty for each offense.
 For instance, if a Wisconsin mer- chant advertiser says he has purch- ased bankrupt stock for 50 cents on the dollar and will dispose of it at proportionately low price, he must be able to prove that he has actually purchased bankrupt stock and that the price reduction is precisely what he claims.
 If the clothier in Wisconsin adver- tises that he will sell $25 overcoats for $20, it means just that-that he must actually sell overcoats whose values are $25 at the price mentioned.
 Every state will in time have sim- liar law, rigidly enforced. The honora- ble merchant has nothing to fear from such law, which operates to protect him from the dishonerable merchant who may misrepresent facts in his ad- vertising.
 And the man given to fake advertis- ing will, when prevented from such practice, soon learn that honesty pays in the long run, and that the confi- dence of satisfied customer is a splendid asset.
 "Legislating truth into printers ink" this antifake advertising law has been described.
 Printers ink of itself is black, opaque, unimpressive substance-but when mixed with ideas and backed by truth what may it not accomplish?

BEAUTY AND EFFICIENCyy

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 Young ladies examined by the efficiency commission of Kansas for positions as state stenographers are scored on good looks as well as capability. For perfec, beauty, style, conformation, manners etc., 30 points are allowed, with 70 for shorthand, typewriting. grammar, spell ing and penmanship. That 70 Is a rener ous allowance for these mere artificial ac ouirements while 30 is spare for the nat ural heaven-born endowments must oc- cur to many fair-minded people. Indeed. some will insist that the proportions should be reversed We will go no further than to suggest 50-50 adjustment. This would give the perfectly beautiful stenog- rapher at least an even break with her more accomplished but less gifted sisters. It Is significant that the state recognizes and adopts principle which has long obtained in private business, and a prin- ciple which conforms to the intention and rule of nature. Sheer ruthless and home- ly efficiency is opposed to natural law and, moreover, 1t doesn't deliver the goods. Publius Syrus long before ste-
 
 that personal beauty was a better in- troduction than any letter. Diogenea thought 1t a better business asset even than honesty. abandoning his search for an honest man upon encountering a beau- tiful woman. Aristotle called beauty a capital stock acquired direct from the di- vinity. Aristotle declared that while edli- cated men were as superior to uneducated ones as living men to dead men, never theless a beautiful woman, especially if she reflected that charm which is pure soul radiance. didn't need to know he, B Cs. The ancient wise men and writers, from Socrates to Dr. Skrainka were unanimous in rating beauty above efficiency Efficiency has blushed unseen from time whereH memory runneth not to the contrary. On the other hand Byron aptly described the first beautiful stenographer and her effectiveness in an office:
 "She was form of life and light That seen, became a part of sight, And rose where'er turn'd mine eye, The morning star of memory!' Kansas has put her official business on a rational basis, besides doing something that will make all her sister common- wealths sit up and powder their noses.

INSANE, BUT NOT INs1NCEpE

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. A young German who lived in New York turned on two gas jets and died after writing the following note:
 T have tried in vain to go back to fight for my fatherland. Why should live here in peace and comfort while thousands are dying on the field of bat tie? feel that I must join them. My earthly wealth is s125. I direct that $5 of it be used to cremate my body. The rest Is to go to Germany. Hoch der Kaiser!' Don Quixote could not have conceived anything quite so impractical. He could have sent the money to Germany for a few cents, leaving nearly 5 with which to begin life anew in this land of excep- tional opportunity, or he might have sent along all of the s but the amount re- quired to secure and transport a bill of exchange and run no risk of starvation. To waste s5 having himself cremated was a plain proof of madness. Ashes are worth nothing. A healthy young German in America is worth good deal to him. self and to employers, or to the Kaiser if he wishes to send his imperial high ness his wages.
 But insanity is more worthy of respect than fnsincerity. Here was young man who would not enjoy American peace and plenty while the fatherfand suffered the hardships and privations of war. He did not eat American pudding and spout Ger man patriotism simultaneously. Peace to his ashes He was crazy, but sincere!
