PETTY SROucHEs HARMFUL TO LOCAL
ADVANCEMENT.

Bickering, backoltlng and lack
harmony have wrecked more
community prospects than we
care to enumerate. They are the
granite upon which many d
bright commercial future has
been smashed to nothingness.
They are the death knell of
prosperity in any town.
And yet VIC see reputable and
high standing and we'll meaning
business men continually taking
little, vicious digs at their com.
petitors in the commercial field.
We see them throwing out in
nuedoes in the hope of curtail-
ing the trade of their rivals We
see them casting yelled reflections
on the business integrity Of other
firms who may perchance be
more successful than they are.
1t doesn't pay either the man,
his rival, or the commercial life
Of the community upon which
we all must depend.
Many business men have no
thought of the far reaching effect
Of their inconsiderate words TO
the detriment Of others, but the
disastrous effect is felt on all
hands. 1t creates a spirit of dis
cord in the community, destroys
The confidence of one in another,
and prevents that cohesion Of
purpose by which we accompligs
the greater achievements Of life.
We would like to see every
man speak well OF his business
associates. We would like to see
them all laboring in harmony in
commercial union for the ad-
vancement of this town and his
community. We would like to
see them all pulling together IN
order that the load may be
lighther for each.
We have everything to gain
by such unity of purpose. We
We have nothing whatever to
lose.

Why ADVERTISING PAYS.
Are you for it?

Everybody reads the ads and
everybody remembers what they
read.
Mrs. Jones remarks to Mrs.
Sr:th that she simply must go
to the store and get a new dress
pattern, or a winter coat, Or pos
sibly a new hat. Mrs. Smith
has read of the latest creations
at some store and Immediately
springs her knowledge upon
Mrs. Jones, who simply can't
resist the temptation to 90 and
see for herself. Once there she
generally buys.
Farmer Hankinson needs a
new harness. or a plow, or some
other implement for progressive
farming. His neighbor has read
the up to date ad of the imple-
ment house in the local paper
and incidentally mentions that
So-and-So carries a good ar
ticle which he is advertising
quite heavily. This excites
Farmer Hankinson's curiosity
and he ''just drops in to see it. "
He, too. often ends with a buy.
The woman's club, or the sew
ing circle. or the pink tea ladies
get together and spend the af-
ternoon or evening iu gathering
up stray bits of information.
Anything that has attracted the
eye of any member comes in for
discussion, and nothing is more
dear to their hearts than those
delightful things that were ad.
vertised in the last issue of the
paper. Of course they all want
to know about them, and then
they must see them, and in the
end they buy them,
Bill Doolittle wants a new
overcoat, and the well written
overcoat ad never gets by him.
He drops in and looks over the
coats of which the merchant has
spoken 50 glowingly. They are
as represented, and he buys.
Yes, they all read the ads, and
they talk about the goods they
read about, and they buy when
they are sufficiently interested
to talk about them.
OF course advertising pays.
Everybody knows it pays.

THE BLAcKMAILERS,

The spectacular arrest OF a
gang of blackmailers who have
been praying upon rich men and
women of the metropolitan cities
furnishes US new food, for
thought-and skepticism.
When the arrests were made
in Chicago a few days ago 1t
was heraldea broadcast that
millionaire men and women had
been caught in compromising
positions. It was even said that
many social families of promi-
nence would be rocked to their
their very foundations. Federal
prosecutors gleefully announced
that no one caught in the net of
blackmailers would be shielded,
that everything would be laid
bare to the world.
The public gasped with anti
cipation, and the victims shlver'
ed with apprehension.
And then an order suddenly
came out of Washington direct
ing that the names of the victims
be kept secret.
Money, money, money! The
overpowerlng influence of mon
ey.
If poor men and women had
been caught in the net Of expos
ure no consideration would have
been vonchsafed then, no mercy
whould have been shown them.
The searchlight Of publicity
would have been turned on to
-the full.
But not SO with the socially
prominent, not so with those Of
Che swollen bank accounts.
Money and position give them
influence, and influence grants
hem immunity from publicity.
skeptieal? We are just skep-
Wal enough to wonder if the
tine viii ever come when the
law aE be for all people alike
not a laWfor the poor man and
none for the rich.

He Architectural League exhibit
tion Is generally considered to be
the most popular one Of the year.
The current show will not be an excep-
ton. There IL the usual diversity OF
decorative wall paintings. great and
small (referring Of course to size. not to
qualities, the great mural painters hav.
Ing turned out little this year), the
usual sculptures. textiles. tiles, ironwork
ind the usual mOdicum Of architecture.
The crumbs Of architecture flung to
us this year seem less than usual. but on
the other hand we are r~ecompensed with
an elaborate Italian garden. with ter.
rnces. real pWOls Of water and real
hedges, the whole Vanderbilt Gallery
being given over to this spectacular
effect. which will strike the thoughtless
dumb with admiration. 1t Is not q real
garden. 1t Is 10 copied from a real
garden and 1t Is not q model that any
sensible person would incorporate into .
landscape. 1t turns the gallery into q
stage setting. provides IN agreeable
background for one or two unimpOrtant
pieces " sculpture and makes 1t well
nigh impossible to give any serious at
tentiOn to the architectural plans In the
corners Of the room.
The design to make the Architectural
League more popular than ever will
doubtless succeed. for the bats flung out
are precisely the kind that our good
natureI public loves to nibble at, but
that any serious gain to h caus OF
architecture Is achieved is less than
doubtful. The establishment Of the ex-
hibition has gone % far that the ex.
hibitiOn itself In lost sight Of.
However, since the committees have
erred. 1t Is well they have erred 50 mag
niticrntly. since extravaganza Of this
Sprt IL almost self.cOrrectiOn, and the
uutcrIes Of the suffOcating and swamped
architects will compel q return to less
fussy methods next year. The danger
will lc that the revolt will swing too fur
into puritunism and that next year we
shall be crying out that the Vanderbilt
Gallery has become u barn. But Mt all
Gusts we must give architecture q fair
chnice In the Architectural League ex.
hibltiOns.
Architecture more than most arts
needs to he talked about, and the
methods Imposed upon architects by
what In called modern civilization" are
= arbitrary and difficult that 1t 10 no
longer possible for an architect to work
out u problem from an individual ex.
perience. but he must rely more and
more (under the present system) upon
organized effort. To me 1t seems that
the New York architects are for the
most part up against impossible condi'
tiOns. The efforts being made by them
IRE rs valiant as any that past artists
have made. and the intelligence might be
