The foregoing little ditty is
homely, but it conveys about as
much business truth as was ever
put together in sentence OF
thirty words. 1t is according to
human nature, that the more
publicity a thing has, the more
interest it excites in the mind of
the people.
You can't promote any kind of
enterprise without pushing it and
telling people about it. II you
give an entertainment in public
hall, and merely open the doors
relying on word of mouth to
spread the news, you will get a
handful of people. 1t is nobody's
business to spread the news
about it, and the great bulk of
people never hear about it.
Moreoverpeople may hear about
it, but if a thing is not pushed
and advertised, they get the
idea into their heads that it not
of much account. Anything has
to create a certain amount of
noise and stir before people will
believe it amounts to anything
or is worth their attention.
The same thing applies equally
to business enterprise. If it
isn't advertised and pushed and
talked about in the newspapers,
people will say that it is a one
horse concern, doing a small busi-
ness, that can't afford to spend
money on publicity. or they will
argue that the concern lacks con-
fidence in its proposition. Peo-
pie will walk right by the place
day after day and never look in
the windows.
The moment a place begins to
advertise, that moment people
begin to wake up about it.
Guess X must be doing some
business the way he pushes it"
they say and they come around
to see what is going on.

"InternatiOnaIists."

Much comment has been caus-
ed by the unusual case of six
Baltimore boys who were supend-
ed from school because they de-
clined to salute the flag, stating
that they were international
ists." Incidents like these sug-
gest that there is a growing ele-
ment in this country that frankly
does not consider itself American
but holds itself only to some
dreary world wide organization.
In the final world state, it is
conceivable that delegates may
be sent to some Central Congress
at london, New York, or Tokyo,
who may govern the whole
world. But that is many thous-
ands of years distant at present
outlook.
The world makes the largest
progress where political and nat
ional divisions exist. In that
way every section Of the world
gets a government best suited
to its own temperament and in
heritance. The people of Cent
raj Africa, for instance, would
not prosper under the democratic
institutions prevailing with us.
Similarly our people would not
advance if placed under an auto
cratic rule of kings and emperors.
Nationalism permits every peo-
pie to. choose the form of govern
ment that suits them. Russia's
experience the last few days
proves that where type of gov
erpment is not best adapted to a
people. it will finally be over
turned. No matter how strongly
it may be intrenched in tradition
and military power, it can not
survive popular disapproval in
definitely,
There is nothing to be gained
by surrendering national lines
in present age. The preaching
of this visionary idea merely
serves to weaken the tie of obli-
gaton to ones own country and
it produces no other loyalty to
take its place. International
istis" would better retire to the
jungles of Africa, where nation
al feeling is not strongly devel-
oped, and where each little COM
munity and individual can exc
cute its own savage will.

State T B c Report

Lansing, Jan. 8-The state board of
health admits frankly that much more
money is needed than has so far been
expended If successful fight is, to be
made against tuberculosis. Not only
will the board ask the legislature for
another appropriation for this work
but it will ask for much more exten-
sive health organization than the state
has 80 far enjoyed.
DR.. j. Ii. Kellogg, member of the
board, called attention to the fact. that
the state of Michigan will this year, as
in the past, again appropriate several
hundred thousand dollars for the care
of the feeble minded, and he argued
that there is fully as much, If not more
basis for an appropriation for fighting
tuberculosis.
ut is a great and humane act on the
part of the state to care for its feeble
minded" he declared, "but, after all, not
much can be done for them except feed
them and make them comfortable.
They cannot be reclaimed for society.
But with tuberculosis it is entirely
different. Thousands of those who
have the disease and thousands of others
who are threatened with it can be saved
for society; and after being reclaimed
they can do their share in the world by
producing economic values instead of
filling premature graves. The state
has duty toward them that is fully
on a par with its duty toward the
feeble-minded who are crowding our
institutions
