The Law of Advertising.

James r. Garfield of Cleveland. son
of the late President Garfield, told one
of the editors of the American Maya
zine the following story about travel
ing in 1878 as boy with his father,
who was campaigning. One night,
after a speech in Michigan, young Car
field said to his father: why do you
repeat so much? Do you know you
said the same things several times to-
night? Do you know that you said
the same things tonight that you said
this afternoon in Detroit" General
Garfield made this reply: You hap
pen to be an especially interested
party and notice these repetitions.
Others do not. j repeat the same
statements deliberately in order that
people may finally get them. Any
thing that l want an audience to get
and remember l repeat several times
lin somewhat different form perhaps.
This practice l developed out of my
experience which has shown me that
peoples attention is distracted in va
rious ways and that a first or second
statement may not really get to them.
You must insist on an idea or fact II
you want to get anywhere with 1t.

The discovery OF twenty-foot vein

THE RIGHT TO LOBBY. When
Bill Rothman of the school board told
the senate committee he was opposed
to teachers lobbying for legislation
it may be that he meant he was op-
posed to them lobbying for legisla-
ton Rothman was against, or against
legislation Rothman was for You
never can tell.
Anyhow, Margaret Haley now says
according to the Post-that Roth
man was directing the work of sew
eral teachers who were lobbying for
school board measures and that these
teachers were paid by the BOARD Tor
the time they put in lobbying.
The particular Ofense Of the teach
ers appears to have been that they
succeeded in defeating the attempt
of Big Biz to put over legislation pro-
viding for the Cooley system of dual
education in the public schools; and
this dual system, under the name OF
vocational training, was intended to
separate the children of the poor from
the children of the rich in the public
school and train the children of the
poor to become trained workmen for
Big Biz.
If the Teachers Federation de-
,feated the Cooley system they rem
7ered a splendid service for the public
hOOl system.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.-Most of
us rail at special privileges granted to
others try to get them for our
selves. All of us are looking for the
best of it. Shrewd merchants play
upon that human weakness when
they offer a limited number of ar
ticIes at bargain prices. Women rush
and grab because they think they
have to hurry to get the best of it
before the articles run out.
Nobody gets something for moth
ing. I believe Sis Hopkins said 81
won't do nothing for nobody that
won't do nothing for me-" There is
sound human philosophy in the state
ment that it is more blessed to give
than to receive. When men who are
in position to give get wise, they
learn that when they try to help 9th
eFs by giving them something they
often do more harm than good.
It doesn't help able-bOdied people
to give them crutches to walk with.
They're better off without the
crutches.
Many men who have grown rich
and have then INDUCED their children
learn that they have given their chill
dren a terrible handicap-one that
few children of rich parents ever
overcome.
Anyone who accepts a special
privilege feels a sense of obligation
he can never repay. He feels an in
feriority, and that's an awful price to
pay. Those who give special privi-
leges see the business side Of it. They
expect compensation-and generally
a compensation that money won't
buy.
He who accepts special privileges
becomes a servant Of him who gives
them He can't be free.

daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Poush,
Of Cheyenne, was seriously burned on
Monday, resulting in her death at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning. The little
girl had just left the dinner table when
she fell back into tub partly filled
with hot water. She was almost in
stantly snatched from the water and
within ten minutes was taken by her
parents to the hospital where every ef-
fort was made to save her. For several
hours the child was conscious, but con-
vulsions set in and the wounds from the
burn together with the nervous shock
caused her death.
