Advertising Saved Him

And now advertising has saved a man from the gallows! He was arrested in Chicago, and the police forged a chain of circumstantial evidence against him that seemed to seal his doom. His lawyers put an advertisement in the Chicago News, appealing to unknown witnesses to come forward and supply the necessary evi- dence to break the hypotheti- cal police chain. These witness es were scattered here and there, being guests at the Y. M. c. A. on the night of the .murd- CT, when the accused man claimed to have also been guest. The ad produced this scattered evidence, and the man was set free. Thus is the far-reaching power of news paper advertising strikingly ex- empliied. We are just beginn- ing to see what this form of advertising really is. From out the mist and maze and fog and dust of the theorist we are en- erging into the light. When you want to attain a desired result or secure a needed thing, ad- vertise! Even liberty comes when beckoned with printers ink!
 Reports from all over the country show that 1917 has started we'll in an advertising way

The factory is invisible from the railway, being placed deep in a forest country with an es- pecially thick growth of trees about. Live wires surround it and special double tracks lead to it. The works are about 700 feet long and no feet in width. The railway runs com pletely around them in the northwest corner of the works, where the trains are discharg- ed. The trains arrive full of bare bodies, which are ,un- loaded by workers who live at the works. The men wear oil skins and masks with mica eye pieces; they are equipped with long hooked poles and push the bundles of the bodies to an end less chain, which picks them up with big hooks attached at intervals of two feet. The bod ies are transplanted by the chain into long narrow con- partments and pass thru a bath which disinfects them. They then go thru a drying chamber and finally are automatically carried into a digester, or great cauldron, in which they are dropped by an apparatus which detaches them from the chain. They remain from six to eight hours, treated by steam whcih breaks them up while they are slowly stirred by machinery.
 Workers Kept as Prisoners
 From the treatment results several products. The fats are broken up into stearine, form of tallow, and oils which re- quire to be redistilled before they can be used.
 "The process of distillation is carried out by boiling oil with carbonate soda, and some part of the by-products resulting is used by German soapmakers. The oil industry and refinery are in the southeastern corner of the works. The refined oil is sent out in small casks like those used for petroleum. It is of a yellowish brown color. The fumes are exhausted from the buildings by electric fans and are sucked thru great pipes to the northeastern corner, where they are condensed and the re- fuse resulting is discharged in to a sewer. There are no high chimneys, as the boiler furnac- es are supplied with air. by cleo tric fans. There is a laboratory and in charge of the works is the chief chemist with two as sistants and 7S men. All of the employees are soldiers and are attached to the eight army corps. There is a sanatorium by the works and under no pre- text is any man permitted to leave them. They are guarded as prisoners at their appalling work"

Democracy vs. Autocracy

has repeatedly called attention to the fact that Congress in its declaration of war gave as a reason for the declaration, the fact that "The Imperial Ger man Government has commit ted repeated acts of war against the government and the
 people of the United States of America; and that more re- gently President Wilson, Con- gressmen and other prominent officials have repeatedly refer red to our War against Ger many as a war by democracy against autocracy. The Exam iner claims to find in this latter attitude a grave danger to our republic, insisting that if we are fighting this war for the overthrow of autocracy, then in all consistency we must use our force of arms against all auto cratic governments upon the earth. But not so.
 At the beginning of the ti- tanic struggle in Europe, the sympathies of Americans were with both sides. To us as on- lockers the war appeared to be a huge blunder that might have been avoided. The people of America were friendly with both Entente and Teuton and were distressed to see their friends at war. As the war has progressed and Germany has piled outrage upon outrage, as the vale hasbeen gradually driv en from the fist of unbridled autocracy, our sympathies have turned from the German auto crats and have rested with the entente allies and with the en- slaved German people. The re- peated violation of ours and other neutral nations rights, on the part of Germany have served to increase our dislike of the German war council. Gradually the alliance of dem ocracy against autocracy has been completing it's work of Characterization within the en- tente allies themselves until despotic Russia has been con- verted into a republic and the other allies have become more thoroly democratic than ever before. Even within Germany herself the leven of democracy has been working until now the autocratic desponsm is threat ened by rumblings within it's borders as well as by the roar of entente canons from without.
 Technically war was de- clared because Germany went one step too far in her subma- rine campaign, and assumed a decidedly warlike attitude to- ward the United States. But the American soldiers will be stirred to deeds of valor by the knowledge that he is fighting for the same rights for which our forefathers fought--for the freedom of mankind and the de feat of autocracy.
 In 1898 the United States de- clared war against Spain be- cause of certain unfriendly acts committed by that nation against the United States, but American boys rushed to the colors because our cause was that of freedom. The justifca- tion of the war lies mainly in the fact that thru it a people were freed.
 The sinking of a few Amer ican ships, alone, is not suffici- ent cause to rouse the Ameri- can nation to the energetic action that is the price of vict- ory, but the realization that the

Local Labor Paper Urges PeO-

Effort Being Made To Get

Coincident with the city's gasless

Meeting their meters.
Such a move is being advocated in
Kansas City, Mo. In that city the
Parent-Teachers' association, and
members of the Typographical union
have already obtained the names of
1900 gas users who have agreed to
disconnect their gas meters until a
better supply is furnished.
Must sign E5ianks
In agreeing to have their meters
disconnected, Topekans must sign a
blank which reads:
This will be full authority for You to
order my gas turned off at MOI. street
and have the meter removed as soon s YOU
receive 1000 similar orders
This is a practical plan and will work. $
is the statement that follows the blank to
be filled out. Why allow yourself to pay
for something that will not give service j?
Get busy in your clubs and back this sys-

out by organized effort, if you want service
