TREASON AT DAVENPORT.
Zone Of the Most DiseracefuI Affairs
That Has Ever Occurred" Says
the Times

Des Moines Capital: A man by the
name of Daniel H. Wallace was per
mitted to deliver a reasonable speech
in Davenport last week. He Is now in
the hands of the United States authori
ties and may be returned to England
as a result Of his own statement that
he is an English army deserter.
A spy's fate will render justice IN
the case OF Wallace. But what abou,
the hundreds Of Davenport people who
cheered him to the echo when he made
his reasonable statements?
According to the Davenport Times
1 800 citizens crowded the opera house
in which Wallace spoke and a major
fly OF them thoroughly enjoyed" wha,
the speaker said.
One remark which is said to have re
suited In wave Of applause and
cheers follows: "If any one declares
that the Germans are barbarians will
tell that man to shut up or put up"
Here are few other samples of the
SPEAKERS remarks that pleased the
Davenport audience. II reports Of the
meeting are accurate:
The Belgians are bunch Of crooks
completely At the mercy Of England
soiu the league of the red heart
md tell the Red Cross to so to HI
Anybody that enlists in the troops
Q! the allies is crazy for they are

Any city which can produce an aud.
is1cs that will stand for speech OF
thts character has problem before it.
Davenport is in the very center Of a
Heavy German population but Iowa
rad BEEN led 10 believe that the Scott
co-l-y Ge-nsas were loyal.

PRICES AND GREED.

Congressman Madden, of Illinois, has com
piled list of prices, making comparison with
those charged in American and English ho-
tells ''For instance the congressman says
it is possible to order a dinner at the Savoy,
one of the fashionable hotels of London, for
from one third to one-half of what is charged at
similar hostelries in Washington The fol
lowing list can be read with the thought IN
mind that England would be hungry if it did
not import its food from the United States.
These are the figures given by Congressman
Madden:
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-08-02

Congressman Madden also saws that MANY
things appear on the English menu that cannot
be obtained in this country, and that meal
can be secured In London for 80 that would
cost $500 in any of the large cities of the
United States
The statement of Congressman Madden as to
difference in prices between similarly labeled
products in London and Washington can be ex-
planned in only two ways-either that the
English hotel keepers and do purchase
articles of food at lower prices than American
hotel keepers that the greed of the
American landlord is so great that he is not
satisfied with a reasonable profit. The latter
probably is the correct explanation. Prices Of
food in this country should not be as high as in
England, but the greed for profit appears to be
Unsuitable in those who speculate in most of the
necessities of life

WHO PAYS FOR ADVERTISINGp
lsy William woodhead.l

goods a merchant sells He must
add enough to pay rent, heat, light
clerk hire, etc. Out Of each dollar
in sales, certain percentage must
go to pay for these things. But with
advertising, he can sell more goods
with the same clerks. In the same
store. etc. His sales increase while
his fixed charges either increase very
little or stand the same. His adver-
Using makes two dollars come in
where only one came before. With
out it, his relative cost for the other
items mentioned would likely make
it impossible for him TO do business
at all.
Advertising. therefore, can be said
to pay for itself. 1t is self-support-
ing. 1t makes its own way
If this were not true-if advertis-
ing added to the cost Of selling
would not great non-advertising
stores spring up and drive the ad-
vertising stores out of business?
Advertising Mems Convention.
The public would learn that the
prices of the advertiser were higher.
He could not sell his goods.
Advertising will bring customer
once. The goods must bring him the
second time.
The Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World believe adver-
Using is a public servant-that
it is directly helpful to the public
in shortening the distance between
the maker and the user. We know
it reduces selling costs.
Advertising has produced quantity
production and more rapid selling,
making labor-saving machinery and
other economics possible. SO it has
reduced the cost of everything that
has ever been judiciously advertised
and properly handled much below
what its cost would otherwise be.
Advertising has placed wide mar
kets within the easy grasp of those
who have meritorious things for sale,
and we know that many a product
which requires a wide market to
make its manufacture possible would
not even exist were 1t not for adver-
Using.
Democratizes Education.
Shoddy goods and advertising are
not likely to be bedfellows for long.
Advertising has reduced the waste
that has always occurred through
buying goods that do not serve as
they should, for there is a con-
stantly diminishing market for
shoddy things.
And one of the greatest Of all
benefits Of advertising is that it has
brought the price of almost countless
publications within the reach OF the
poor as well as the rich. Thus, in
directly, it has brought to US all. the
writings. the thoughts, of the bright
est minds of the age. II has brought
to the poor man his picture gallery,
for in the advertising spaces and In
editorial spaces the greatest artists
enrich our knowledge of things beau
tiful. Advertising has helped to
democratfze education.

Business is no longer private. II
is public. AT his own invitation, We
have come to look upon the modern
business man as a public servant and
upon his place of business as an In
stitution existing to help US. And
the whole impression Is of the mod
ern business mans own making.
At about the time in the history
of bookkeeping when one inf1exlbie
price became the rule in all good
stores. the business man awoke to
the fact that it was possible to make
people understand that they could
buy with safety without expert
knowledge of the goods they were
buying-that they could be brought
to the thought of relying upon their
confidence in him as their assurance
that the wares he offered were worth
tibet price he asked.
Interest in Business Growing.
About that time, business men and
the public began to take more inter
est in each other. The business man
began to realize that if the people
were TO believe, in him, they would
have TO know about him-for we
rarely find ourselves in sympathy
with things we see or hear about for
the firts time We are a bit sus-
picious at first.
This interest in business men, and
in business methods has grown, part
ly because business has become more
and more public, business men be-
coming more and more frank the
while, and because the public has
come TO recognize business methods
as an interesting topic.
So it is natural for us, as buyers
of things, to be interested in adyer
Using and In every device which the
seller uses in our service, and to in
Quire into the effect which adyertis-
ing has upon the cost of things we
buy.
Who Pays?
Perhaps you ask then, who pays
for advertising? Nobody pays for it
If you mean by the question to infer
that it's cost is added to the price
of the goods, for it Is not.
Suppose a great store has a de-
partment whose sales are lower than
they should be. SO that too much,
proportionately, has to be charged to
the salary of the head of the de-
partment. Too big a percentage Of
all the money taken in has to go to
pay his salary. The department is
operating al loss, let US say.
Now. suppose the owners of the
store dismiss this department head
and hire manager for the depart
ment whose salary is little higher,
but whose sales are very much
larger His salary is a smaller per-
centage of his sales than The for
mer mans salary was of his sales
He pays his way and more.
Sells More Goods.
1t is the same with advertising.

German commercial experts are fully aware
of the risk Germany runs of losing her trade
supremacy in South America for which she
has labored so long and so successfully. One
of the leading commercial journals of Germany
recently printed frank statement of the prob
ability of this loss For the South American
inertia which Germany has understood and
catered to in building her trade Will be factor
in favor of this country's holding the trade she
is now getting if the war sees wide disunion of
South America and Germany. South American
trade has been slow to come to US; we even may
admit that it has come under compulsion. But
once trade relations between the United
States and the South American republics es-
tablished a mutual understanding will result.
There are no concessions in time and capital,
such as Germany has made, which we cannot
make even more literally than she, once our
businessmen are convinced of their eHpediency.
And trade channels we'll opened at the end of
the war can easily be kept permanent.

Miss Doyle has been attached to
duty in this field for the last four or
five years, and she has accomplished
splendid results with her work in this

lectures in hygiene and home santa
ton, and has instructed classes at the
public school in the care of the sick,

instruction of a Red Cross class in
home nursing who recently took ex-
aminations, the result being awaited.

consist largely in the training of pu-
pills for public nursing

WHAT ..HEAvENS" REALLY MEANS
Scriptures Would Seem To Conflict But
They Do Not. Says Correspondent

THE Burning of the Heavens and
Earth" is the subject of the Inter
national Bible Students Association
tomorrow night at the Republic
Theatre
Mr.. Abner ]. Eshleman, of Brook
lyn. n. ". will deliver an address IN
the Republic Theatre, Main street,
tomorrow evening at eight O'Clock
His subject will be THE Burning OF
the Heavens and Earth.
The Scriptures speak of the burn
ing of the heavens" and the 'earth"
in one place and in another place they
state that the earth" abideth for
ever: that heaven is Gods throne and
the earth is His footstool. and that
He will make His footstool glorious.
These scriptures would seem TO be
conflicting but they are not. When
God says. heaven is My throne" and
the earth His footstool, and that He
would make His footstool glorious,
and that the earth abideth forever, He
meant just exactly what He said.
Taking these plain statements as
basis, therefore, there can be no ques-
tions about the meaning of the scrip
lures uttered which seem to be in con-
flict. The scriptures say, But the
day of the Lord will come as thief
in the night: in which the heavens
shall pass away with great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fer
vent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burn
ed up" ii Peter 3 10. This scrip
ture does not contradict what had
been stated in plain language before
but was written in figures of speech
and therefore the words burning
or burned up heavens and
earth" etc. referred to are strictly
fgurative The heavens" do moi
mean the literal heavens" nor the
earth" the literal earth" 1t sure
" refers to certain conditions in the
earth which shall pass away, and
when these conditions have passed
away new heavens and a new earth
will take their place. Then we read
again, Looking for and hasting un-
to the coming of the day of God
wherein the heavens being on fire
shall be dissolved. and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat. Never.
theless we, according to His promise
look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteous
ness" III Peter 8; II and IS.
