ONE THING At A TIME.

|, does not seem TO us that Miss
Rankin employs her time wisely in
urging government ownership OF the
copper mines. There is nothing in the
situation to call for that change. The
government has power to fix the price
OF copper for its uses and If the sup
ply is regular and adequate nothing
further is required. There is no dis
pute between the companies and the
smeltermen and the thousands Of
miners who have returned to work.
Government ownership even though it
seemed desirable would cause great
delay. n reduced product for many
months and :. change to intricate and
uncertain methods resulting in confu-
sion and. perhaps. failure.
All that is needed in Butte is pro-
lection. and that the authorities of the
federal government and the state can
and must furnish. There must he no
further interference from the traitor

The Mine RustI;rg Card.

Sir: In the year 1896 the Republican
boss in our little community fired a
man who was working on his farm
because he had announced that he was
Roine TO vote for BRYAN. This EN-.
ployer said that he wasn't going to
pay his money to any man who would
vote against his interests
The Anaconda Copper Mining com.
pany seems to feel the same way The
rustling card system is a denial OF the
first essentials of democracy. That
company had blacklisted. that is, had
refused a rnstling card to Manus Dug.
gan. the hero of Butte's recent mine
disaster, because he was n Socialist,

was noticed that the company papers
ceased to make n hero out OF him Just
as soon as that fact became known.
He was ut work In the mine where
he was killed because 1t was owned
by an independent company and no
rnstling card was required.

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY
!. ), 3. BY H. J. Barrett.
Advertising Novelties.

IT IS easier to sell n thousand dol
lars worth of advertising novelties
than a hundred dollars worth of space
in good medium" said an advertising
man recently, "and in most cases the
thousand dollar expenditure represents
an utter waste Of an advertising an
preparation.
"a man who will resist the efforts
OF the ablest space seller In the city
viii willingly come through for hun
dreds. and often thousands, of dollars
worth OF some dinky little novelty
which will never yield a dollars re-
turn. The purchaser figures the nov
elites as merchandise and he has been
used TO buying merchandise. .\dver-
Using space filled with mere brains
and experience is something else again.
1t is too intangible an investment to
impress the man who lacks magma
ton. That brains and ideas, not mere
commodities. are what constitute a
successful business is difficult for
many men to grasp.
In their place, however, novelties
represent a wise expenditure. They
should be used merely as an auxiliary
to Il carefully planned campaign. Their
reminder value Is entirely Overcsti-
mated. Few men can tell YOU the
words which appear on the faces of
their watches: how much less likely is
man to retain an impression of the
words printed on an advertising nov
city il in creating favorable effect
upon the recipient
I'm planning the expenditure OF an
appropriation. first allow for the use
OF media which viii yield real results:
newspapers, magazines. bill boards
, car cards the L. s. mail. etc; then II
surplus remains. l consider adver-
Using novelties
This method OF procedure naturally
fails to please the novelty statesmen
So we'll aware Of the advertising
, agents attitude are they that, In most
cases, they seek to sell the agents
clients before the agents realize what
, Is happening. And in vast numb, r.
' of eases they achieve their fun oh
jcct.
! "'rimc and again l have had TO
wise an entire campaign because the
, novelty man slipped in and sold an
order to one Of my clients right under
my nose.
It's such a blame clever little de.
vice explains the client apologetically.
and heave a long suffering sigh and
| proceed to cut and slash my schedule
Yes. novelties are vaA right in their
place. but their place should not be
first"
