White was chosen delegate to the an
nual meeting to be held in Philadel-
phia the week Of June 25.
The purpose of an advertising club
is best explained in the organizations
Standard of Practice:
We pledge ourselves to remember
that advertising is and should be
first of all, an exponent of the square
deal, and that it is only when bust
ness men put the interest of the buy
ing public first that they take the
best advantages of their opportuni-
ties.
We will not at any time knowingly
do anything which will injuriously
affect advertising, nor will we care
lessly speak i'll of any advertising
medium.
We will work together to the end of
making all advertising more truth
full, knowing it viii then be more eff
fective and of greater benefit to the
buying public.
We will exercise care, individually,
at all times, to see that every adver-
tisement with which we have any
thing to do shall measure up to the
plain, simple truth. We stand firmly
for constructive advertising and con-
denim, without reserve, all forms of
destructive advertising.
To each other we, pledge patient
service toward the upbuilding of ad-
vertising in this community.
To all business men of this COM
munity, we pledge cooperation to-
ward the advancement of the COM
munity's business along sane and
proper lines.
To the public whom we as a CLUB
serve primarily we pledge our best
efforts to make advertising the SER
want of the people in the truest sense.

IL baby could talk he would say
Don't kiss me in the mouth.
Don't let the sun shine in my eyes
nor the wind fill them with dust.

Do not expose me to whooping
cough and measles or other catching
diseases or may get sick and die.

Be careful how you handle me and
lay me down.
Do not give me candy and other
things which are not good for me.
Do not give a dirty pacifier to
suck or allow me to suck my thumb,
for it will spoil the shape of my
mouth.
Do not rock me to sleep or teach
me other bad habits.

ture shows or keep me up nights,

me cross.

cines or nasty mixtures.
Do not give me wine, beer or whis-
key, coffee nor tea, for l want to
keep well.

EDITORIALS SHOULD EX-
PRESS EDITORS THOIT

WHILE in Columbia last week,
listening to the address of the great
editorial writer, Arthur Brisbane,
we thought surely he must be mis-
taken when we understood him to
say that it was "the business of the
editor to tell the people what they
thought instead of telling them what
his The editors idea about propo-
sition was" On reading the following
from the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
We find that our ears did not deceive
Us.
In his advice to young editorial
writer's given through a Post-Dis-
ptch interview, Arthur Brisbane,
he New York Journals gilt-edged
stiWRid:
Fourth the business Of the
newspaper is to tell the people
what they, the people, think, And
that is the business Of the man
who writes the editorials
The people want to know what
they think, not what the editor
thinks--Just as the crying baby
wants to know what is the matter
with somebody else
We hope the young journalists will
not follow this advice. 1t may bring
shame and humiliation upon them
and cause disaster to the people they
are trying to lead into right action.
A man who does this doesn't think;
he merely thinks he thinks he thinks.
The duty of the editorial writer is
to write what he thinks, not what he
thinks the public thinks-that road
would lead him into strange and
fatal paths. He should know how to
think logically and intelligently and
then in the light of all the informa-
ton he can gather he should express
his opinion honestly and fearlessly.
He should follow principle in his
thought.
Public opinion is sometimes warp
ed by passion, prejudice and ignor-
ance. 1t is the duty of a newspaper
to expose and oppose opinion of that
sort and guide the public to wiser con-
clusions. There is nothing more
forceful and sensational than the
truth, and in the end all men must
come to the man who utters it.
Telling child what is the matter
with him is quite different from think
ing as the child thinks. The child
may be ignorant as to what is the
matter with him, and may need g
remedy that he does not think he
wants.
Frequently the very thing the peo-
pie are suffering from is wrong
thought. To correct their thought is
the greatest service that can be rem
dered them. IL corrects everything
