CIRCULATION SUGGESTIONS
Two methods of increasing the cir
culation of The Day Book have been
tried and have been found to work
fairly well, though we are convinced
that better plans can be and should
be worked out.
One of those two methods was
suggested by Dan Cruice some years
ago, namely: If you have a nickel,
dime or quarter, go to few stands
and pick up the number of books you
pay for and when you get into the
street car, elevated or train pass
them to the passengers with any
:good-natured remark you care to
make, always taking care to include
women in your distribution.
This method had a double effect.
First, it encouraged the newsboy,
and, next, it introduced the publica-
ton to new readers.
The other plan was to attend as
many meetings as possible and at
every opportunity ring in something
about The Day Book, so as to get
folks familiar with the name
am confident that if larger cir
Gle of friends would take up one or
both plans much good would result.
Or if each reader will agree to buy
one extra Day Book every night for a
month and pas it to a friend, neigh
Dor or fellow passenger, the effect in
the circulation department would be
tremendous in very short time.
1t seems to me that some inteIli-
gent, practical plan to increase the
circulation can be worked out where

creation of man by God can be recon-
ciled; hence we find SO per cent of
our priests and ministers denying
evolution. AS the bible throughout
is based on this idea of divine crea-
ton, for this reason alone, even if
there were not thousands of other
vulnerable points in that ancient doc
ument, would repudiate it.
Nor can l deem consistent the at
titude of those who, while joining
with me in condemning the bible and
disclaiming the miracles enumerated
therein, nevertheless aVow their faith
in diety. If there is an all-powerful
God, is it too much for faith to be-
lieve Him capable of performing
these miracles?
We suffer and die and prayers are
UNDECIDED. One cannot but remember
with a cynical smile that greatest of
all prayers last year when an entire
nation, at the behest of the president,
prayed for the war to close, and the
war still goes on.
When a book like Blatchford's
God and My Neighbor" is quoted it
is no answer to say that the devil
can cite scripture to his purpose" If
a man seeks the truth, no matter
whether it comedies with his precon-
ceived ideas or not, he will read what
the other side has to say and only
then will be have right to express
an opinion that will carry weight.
