Is Advertising Expensive?

Advertising that is regarded
by the advertiser as an expense
is Just that. There is some-
thing wrong with it. Nine
times out OF ten the copy has
a charley horse. Its SO weak
it couldn't move itself let alone
move others. Ard whose
fault is that? Advertlsings?
Not on your life. Its the fault
OF the man who is paying for
the advertising. Go to his
store. and the chances are that
you will find it slowly expiring
from dry rot. The goods will
be dirty and unkept. The
shelves will be dusty and me-
elected. Even the boss will
have a crouch, and the crouch
never attracts buyers. Life is
too short to waste with the
wooden faces. 1t isn't the
advertising that's expensive,
its the lack of push that's be-
hind the failures.

Washing ston.-Grest Britain, il q
memorandum transmitted to the Unit
ed States AID made public here and
10 London. recites at length jig ef
forts to minimize inconvenience to
neutral commerce resulting f1om the
order-incouncil against trade with
Germany, Austria and Turkey, and
asserts that American citizens have
no just grounds fer compliant on &C
count of the treatment accorded their
cargoes.
No attempt is made to ersWeI the
principles asserted in the American
note OF March ! protesting against the
order-in-council and insisting upon
the right OF neutrals to carry on .e-
climate commerce with each other
and to trade in non-contraband with
civilians in belNgerent countTies. In
transmitting the memorandum Am
bassador Page said it. was merely an
explanation Of concrete cases and the
regulation under which they are
dealt with"
Another note to Great Britain is
now in course Of preparation at the
State Department and is expected to
be dispatched as soon as the negotia-
lions with Germany over submarine
warfare have been cleared up. While
this communication probably will
make reference to the latest memo
randum, It is understood that the
manner OF enforcing the crder-in-
council will not be treated as rele-
. want 70 the question at issue-wheth-
er there is any warrant an interna-
tional law for the powers that Great
Britain and her Allies have assumed
to exercise over the commerce OF the
world.
Ip its memorandum tie Foreign
Office emphasizes the various special
concessions made in favor Of the Unit
ed States citizens" in setting forth
that all British officials have acted
in every case with the utmost dis
patch consistent with the object in
view and of showing in every case
such consideration for neutrals as
might be compatible With the object,
namely, to prevent vessels from car
rying goods for, or coming from the
enemy's territory"
Arrangements for buying American
cotton detained and for permitting
the passage of goods bought in Ger
many by American before the date
Of order-in-council are outlined and
promise that consideration will be
given to special cases Of this kind in
the future.
According to a summary OF SHIPS
detained there are now q vessels
which cleared from the United States
now held in ports of the United King
dom. Of these eight are :ald to be
unloading cotton which Great Britain
has agreed to purchase. seven will be
allowed to depart as soon IS items
of their cargo placed in prize court
have been discharged. and the other
12-three of them American shi-s--

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DE-

SOUTH CAROLINA CASES.
DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
Doings and Happenings Tha$ Mark
the Progress Of South Carolina Pee
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capitol.
Columbia

Two important South Carolina cases
were decided by the United States
supreme court. ThomaY II. Peoples,
attorney general, received & telegram
as follows from James D. Mather,
deputy clerk. Of the. court: Vaughn
VS.. South Carolina affirmed with costs;
United States ex Ce!atione Brown VS..
Cooke dimissed for want Of jurisdic-
ton"
T. U. Vaughn, form erly superirtenG-
en- of the ODD Fellows orphan home
at Greenville, convicted Of criminal
assault upon one Of mis- wards, and
sentenced to be hanged, appealed to
the federal supreme court on the
ground that his constitutional rights
had been irfringed by E change in
the method Of execution IN this state
made after he was sentenced. The
court had already overruled the same
point in the cases of Joe Malloy and
Will Rethune. also appealed from this
state Affirmation Of the verdict be-
low now sends Vaughn back to the
Greenville county court to be re-
sentenced.
Vaughn has been for many months
& prisoner for safekeeping in the sta;e
penitentiary. He has not spoken in a
long time and this fact. in connection
with other peculairities sf behavior,
may indicate likelihood of an insan-
lty plea in case such further defense
tactics as remain to be used shall fail
to save him from the electric chair.
Frederick Brown alias Grant, &
negro wanted in South Carolina for
murder, was arrested in Pennsylvania
but until the decision had stayed Oft
extradition to this state on the plea
that as a rcg-o he could not get a
fair trial in South Carolina. The
federal supreme court having dismiss
ed his petition, for want of jurisdic-
ton, Brown will be brought TO this
state for trial unless he shall devise
other means of delaying e1tradition.
Attorney General Peoples has had
before the supreme court this year
six cases and in each of them the de-
cisioD has upheld the contentiOn made
by his sentence.
