Tohn Wanamaker on Advertising

"Our little allowance of advertising
money went to the newspapers then
(in the early days of the Wanamaker
business) as it goes, nearly altogether,
to-day, because. If ever have monu-
ment for discovering anything, it will
be for finding out that the only adver-
tising of direct and instant benefit to
both the merchant and customer is in
the daily newspaper Of known circu-
lation. All others are vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit To have learned this
fact has greatly helped my enterprises,
though often there has been serious
discomfort in saying so publicly, and
in breaking away from posters. leaflets

Notwithstanding the protests against
the proposed administration shipping
bill now before Congress. the Demo-
cratic leaders are making a desperate
effort to put it over. So long as we
are in the grip of a theoretical ad-
ministration we must expect the ordi-
nary principles of prudence and of good
business to be swept aside. AS some
one suggests, at is time the nations

who fill dinner-pails, received some

idleness which is frequently to be
found preceding young mans entry
into the serious walks of life?"
Those who fear that we may fall
back into 'militarism' by merely train
ing ourselves in military discipline,
have a strange lack of faith in our
loyalty to personal liberty and indi-
vidual freedom. But their fears are
not justified. On this steep road
which has led from Runymede
through Gettysburg, we have climbed
too high to fall through any mere
system of training, either for war or
for peace"
No more sensible or authoritative
argument for compulsory military
training has been advanced, in our
opinion.

He Left Us a Word

[From the Christian Herald
There lived once in France a soldier,
strative in his patriotic fervor that he
made fool of himself, and ever since
his day a man who displays a cocky
and hysterical patriotism is called a
chauvinist. In England such a man is
called a lingo. A lingo is always brag-
ging about his country's preparedness
to fight. In Germany this form of pa.
triotism is known as Pangermanism
in Russia it is called Panslavism, and
in the United States it is labeled
adeagleism." The only patriotism
hibiting is a contempt for other ma
tions and a glorifcation of their own
Let us agree that all such patriotism is
dangerous. as well as silly: and let us
American people a patriotism which Is
rational and Christian.

The American Dead
TFrom the New York Sun.

IFrom the New York SUM-
"Carrizal has given up b part of it's
American dead" If from the depths
of ocean and from graves beyond our
borders our murdered dead should be
returned to us there is hardly city
or town in the land that would not
hold a funeral service. During the
past three years the number. OF Ameri-
cans who have fallen victims to
the weakness and vacillation of the
present administration runs into the
thousands.
The making of war that is not war
and keeping of peace that is not peace
is a method of procedure that de-
mands its toll of human lives.
When the advocates of Mr.. Wilson's
reelection assert that he has kept us
out of war let them consider the price
that we have paid for the maintenance
of a pseudo peace.
President Wilson at the obsequies
held in honor of the American marines
killed at Vera Cruz delivered a most
eloquent address. That was long
time ago, and still our dead from
Mexico are being returned to us.

GENERAL HUTCHINSON
TINE death of Brigadier Gen

N~@NSN@N~
Joseph B. Hutchison removes
from the National Guard of
Pennsylvania one of it's most efficient
officers and from Harrisburg one OF
its mo-. respected citizens.
General Hutchison was an ideal
Guardsman. Entering the service
when he was a very young man, as a
private, he worked his way to the
command of brigade by sheer ability
and perseverance. He was a typical
soldier - man of exemplary habits.
ever ready to bow to the discipline of
the service and strictly insistent upon
it when his own authority was in
question. He believed that the Ma
tional Guard should be in fact as well
az in name the second line of national
defense and to that end worked con-
stantly to bring the men under him,
so far as conditions would permit, up
to Regular Army standards. He was
an advocate of preparedness years be-
fore the need of universal military
training impressed itself upon the
minds of the people.
General Hutchison's record as a
police chief in Harrisburg is second
to none. Under him the force reached
a state of efficiency never before or
since excelled. But it IS as an army
man that General Hutchison will be
remembered. He lived up to the
splendid traditions of the city in that
respect and set a new standard for
National Guard service in Harrisburg.
1t is pity that his ability and in
fiuence should have been removed at
a time when the nation is so sorely
in need of trained military minds.

Syntax in the Campaign

From the New York Sun,
From the leading editorial article in
the newspaper owned and published by
DR.. Wilson's campaign manager we ex-
tract and exhibit these atrocities:
Despite the extensive character of
the parcels post business, it's capacities
for still greater service to the public is
still far from the straining point"
"The danger of unrestricted drug
sales are apparent to any mind"
If DIR. Wilson were really DIR. Syn

friend Of humanity whom Rowlandson
portrayed with a prescience that stag
campaign manager in terms somewhat
like these:
my Dear Vance: Very frankly. IL
you can't manage to make your nouns
and verbs agree in number, you can't
hope to manage my campaign You can
not, as Bacon said, and as I myself
have shown-you cannot move a great
nation with bad grammar. 1 will ex-
pect a reply. w. W."
But DIR. Wilson Is not Br. Syntax
We have long observed with genuine
surprise and unaffected horror his in
eradical propensity for writing will"
when it should be shall" and "shall'
when it should be will" From mo-
tives of humanity and patriotism we
have withheld for many months the
deserved rebuke.
Since our neighbor the Evening Post
has now mercilessly commented upon
the scandal we see no reason for keep
ing it longer from our own part of the
grammatical public.
