Does Advertising Lower
the Cost of Things?

The central theme for discussion at
The June convention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of the Word in
St Louis, is to be that of the relation
Of advertising to the cost Of liv-
ing.
Half-inforned economists have been
urging, lately that the expense OF
advertising is a direct tax to the con-
sumcr, and that prices Of commodities
would be much lower if advertising
were to be abolishedo
This newspaper has often discuss
ed this subject, and its readers are
pretty generally aware that such a
contention is wholly unfoundeG. But
so long as there are people who make
the contention, in good faith, there
will remain others who viii accept
it as true
Advertising is properly included in
the cost of distribution, BUT OPER-
ATES TO REDUCE THAT COST,
and thus to reduce. the prices Of the
commodities to consumers.
When a stare is equipped to do
certain volume of business-when,
without much extra expense, a maxi
mum volume of sales may be made
and when, instead of making the max
imum number Of sales only a. mini
mum number are made, the per-sale
profit must be fixed that it will meet
fixed overhead expenses. Only
through advertising may the maxi

THE WAR REFERENDUM.

The demand for national referendum the question of with Germany be what a New York paper calls it. the expiring gasp of German propaganda in the United States. The and most prom inent in pressing the demand apparently honest pacists but the moral and financial support back of the movement is said to be largely German.
 This, it be admitted, is of the least object ionabe that German propaganda has taken It is illegal. Perhaps it be called un. American. It makes its appeal through distinctly popular principle of American politics And yet this movement stands accused of nsncerity and absurdy.
 Ours is of the people, by the people. for the people, but it is not a government by universal referendum, and be. The people have given hands of congress the power make There constitutional authority submit decision the people.
 There is legal moral reason why unofficial referendum be heid for the information of gress But neither is there any think that gress needs such advice this subject The men know what the country thinks. They know what their constituents They haven't had their eyes and shut the last years
 The referendum in question is unnecessary And it is mschievous because it is calculated bring delay and situation where and readiness for prompt action necessary to protect vital r- terests and honor.

 You simply buy of the enemy 1000 per head For example, if the United States should be invaded by hostile army, the idea would be pay that enemy soldier who deserts gets captured. Along with the $1.OO0 bonus he would be given friendly treatment and invited to make himself at home. MT Delbridgc is positive that with such reception every invader would throw down his gun and rusi into hosptabc

IS IT FAREWELL TO THE COMICS?

The Victoria Colonis is rejoicing because the alleged comic supplements and the supposedly comic features which characterize very many newspapers in America disappearing. The Victoria paper believes they disappear too While granting that the comics possessed slight element of freshness and origin ality in their beginnings, the Coonist maintains that they very became dreary and vulgar.
 The Coonist is quite right about the drearness and vugarity of the comic supplement stuff It is to be hoped that is right also about the approaching appearance of this type from the papers of the country
 Probably it is that the comics having reached the top notch of popularity and inanity, will have decline and that they have already begun to do few ad- diets to the comic section habit will miss them first. Such people themselves with the antics of the hero of the hour Charlie Chaplin But the rest of will have no regrets We will ourselves the loss with astonishing and rapdity It is likely. too that children will laugh and be the less fer this deprivation

BIG SUPPLY BILLS NOT EXPECTED TO
 PASS BY MARCH 4
General Legislation at Stand still in Congress-President May Be Forced to Call An Extra Session.
(By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-General legislation in the senate made practi- cally no progress today and the pro spect that some of the big supply measures will fail to pass before March f, when the present congress dies by limitation, was greater by twenty four hours. For most of the six hours of the session the senate talked about the revenue bill on which it already nas agreed to vote tomorrow night
 Naval Bill csnsidered.
 The only other important bill that got even glance from the senators was the $535.000.0O0 naval sppropria- ton bill. which was taken up for a brief time but to which Senator Lafol- cite showed his opposition The army appropriation bill still rested in the military affairs committee tonight and the sundry civil and the deficiency measures have not even been sent over from the house.
 May Force Extra Session.
 These indications lead many sena- tors to believe that President Wilson will find some of the great govern ments unprovided for March and that he will be forced to call an ertra session to give them funds.
 There is every possibility that the senate will sit all night tomorrow and that it will spend most of the remain ing four days and half in continuous session.
 Fear for Bills.
 Hopes senators may have had for legislation other than the appropria- tiOn bills and the measure authorizing the President to protect American shipping have gone glimmering and even old timers who have seen the senate put through eight appropria- tion bills in one day are far from con fident that it will finish the essential work ahead before Sunday noon.

The capacity of the dynamo is sufficient to furnish power and lights for some time to come.

ARMED NEUTRALITY.

With American commerce and American people afraid of the terrible submarine and with that of German destruction working day and night in the waters around Allied countries, and with the plight of Holland and great before our eyes. nothing can appeal readily than President Wilson's request for permission to the forces the United protect American lives and ships against the U-boat put nation armed neutrality.
 Through either fear on the part of the German gov ernment to commit act which might align the United States the side of the Entente nations or through desire the part of the submarine command American shipping with courtesy nothing has, yet, taken place which could be construed reasonable ground declaration with the Central powers What effect destruction La conia will have is yet a of conjecture.
 Unrestricted undersea warfare has now been in pre- gress nearly a month. Two American ships have been sent the bottcm Those in position to know have taken umbarge at the acts of the German sub marines for those actions. With the Netherlands how ever hemmed in by Germany and nearly at the latters mercy losing ship after ship which contained food for its the President of the United States hardly be blamed for action he might take to protect Ame can lives and shipping from any eventuaity.
 That there division the part of congress and particularly Republican side is hard be lieve The minority in congress with the aid of the jorty's paciists are said to object issuing blank check" to the appear that their oh jection valid grounds in view of the conditions which now confront the American people.
 Congress will soon recess and some of the members body object going home while the situation is fo piy ing the President free hand Incidentally. it is doubt whether congress could prevent the President from authorizing American merchantmen from going armed into the zone MT. Wilson, however wants the ap proval of congress in any action he may take.
 President Wilson not declare Under con sution that power lies solely with Congress- As a sequence, is difficult to believe that the head of this great nation should conditions into bad shape would plunge country any trouble without first calling congress session and conferng with that organiza tion.
 We believe the country is behind President Wilson Any may the protection of American rights American lives in a spirit of right which with patriotism Least all does the Pres ident desire with any country. He is in position to know of the horrors of His information is ac- curate and dn taking any step he is undoubtedly, well advised in advance of it's possibilities.
 We hope that Congress will find to divide on the question of armed neutrality. When Ameri- lives and American shipping are endangered by an internstionaycgal agency of a bclligerent nation then neutral must take decided stand, We have taken cur stand But it is merely paper stand Realizing what scraps of paper" to when Germany is cerned, it would be most advisable to back up our scraps of paper" with some tangible evidence intent.
