LEADER STARTED SOMETHING
1T COULDN'T STOP

Does advertising pay? Not always.
Sometimes the returns are too big to
be profitable. Yesterday, The Leader,
desiring a limited number of copies Of
past issues, inserted an advertisement
in the local column, stating that per-
sons having copies of those issues
could dispose of them at cents per
copy by bringing them to this office.
By 7 o'clock the rush had begun,
and all day long papers poured into
the Office, borne along by an almost
endless procession of people, compos-
ed mostly of "Wide-awake WiIlies",
but including persons of both sexes
and all ages from four to seventy.
We. are gratifed to know that peo-
pie not only read The Leader but pre-
serve it. However, this is to give mo-
tice that our requirements as adver-
tised yesterday have been supplied
about ten times over, and after today
no further copies of these issues will
be accepted.

Ask W9Ison---Ask Pershing

Nothing is more characteristic Of the
American sense Of humor than the fact that
Our soldiers when questioned about military
matters answer iaconically and with more
than Spartan wit. "Ask Wilson; likewise
Pershing." As we know, this is not an au-
tomato reply Of men who know nothing or
are afraid to say anything, but il is the verbal
thrust that, jestingly, evades the issue raised
by the captors. Naturally, the Germans
don't like it and they don't understand it:
Their dumb-driven cattle in the ranks would
never think OF such reply nor make il if
they thought of it.. It would be "streng YER
boten" (strongy sorbidden).
So the sang-froid of the American SOL
diers is horribly irritating, of which sang
froid, however, they will hear more later.
But what admirable advice our soldiers are
giving the kaisers hirelings! Gould any
thing the better? By all means, let them
all from the kaiser and Hindenburg on down,
"ask Wilson" and TASK Pershing.", They
will then learn what the American military
plans mean at first hand.-Philadelphia

The Baldheaded Mans Dan

BARRIERS In Reading, Mass. have under
consideration system of rebates for hair
cuts for baldheaded men, based on the size
Of the cleared area or areas. This is but one
more symptom that fundamental justice is
coming into its own as result of the nice
distinctions between right and wrong the
war has raised.
Heretofore baldheaded men have been
doubly deserving of compassion. First, be-
cause they were bald, and, second, because
they had to pay the barber the same toll that
was exacted from the fully matched custo-
mer. Reading BARRIERS will calculate their
preferential rates by means of pasteboard
circles cut to the size of the particular bald
spot under consideration. There will, of
course, be differentials in addition to take
ferentials being obtained by extracting the
square root Of the square Of the hypothenuse
and adding thereto an agreed bonus for any
excess of the putting green over standard
dimensions. There also will be preferential
for the barber in cases where he is obliged
to get into the rough behind bunkers or other
special obstacles.
II Is going to require campaign of edu-
cation to make the system success. The
BARRIERS realize that If the rebate for June,
for instance, is larger than that for the pre-
vious January, the fact will disclose to the
customer that larger pasteboard circles are
being used; in other words, that the bald spot
has taken on additional terrain. The prob
lem is to devise means by which the saving
in the bill shalt compensate the injured feel
ings of the man trimmed. Here is where the
educational propaganda is to play a part. A
baldheaded man must be taught that he is as
good as any other kind of man, the burlesque
girls to the contrary notwithstanding. The
general public, including the burlesque girls,
must be brought to think of bald spot as a
badge Of honor. indicating an excess Of gray
matter. beneath, or, possibly, the presence of
q great soul--great because it has suffered
much and long in silence.
Anyhow, the Reading BARRIERS are teach
ing us that the new day Of the world is some
day--for the baldheaded man.-Minneapolis

DOWN THE BOSSES! SMASH THE
STATES.

The spirit of the times is against autocracy
and in favor Of democracy-against self-appointed
dictators and in favor of individual responsibility.
This applies not only to the divine-right arch
autocrats Of Europe, but also to autoerat, big
and little, in our own country.
One form Of autocracy which differs from
kaiserism only in degree is the autocracy that
would ram down hand-picked SLATE" OF pet
candidates for party nomination and rule out the
claims of candidates equally entitled to consid-
Grafton. Particularly now Of all times there is
no occasion or excuse for such states and slate
making in this community, which is no longer
menaced by brewers trust or corporation conf
bine. With the saloon put out of business by
the prohibition law, with the political activities
of the railroads, telephone and telegraph COM
panies stopped by government operation, with
the city hall gang ousted and nonpartisan re-
form administration in its place, the rank and file
is certainly free to form unbiased judgments and
pick the best men. Regardless of the past, there
is now no need Of boss to tell what must be
done, but every reason why each candidate should
have free field and fair show.
The way to knock political autocracy into a
cooked hat Is to turn out in the coming primary
and down the bosses and smash the states.

The Army's Publicity Man
General March Prompt Precise and Lucid IN Semi
WeekLu Tulks >
Washington Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.

The most effective publicity man the Uni
ted States army has had since this country
went to war is General Peyton c. March,
chief-of-staff Giving the public news about
the army is only one of General March's
many duties, but it is a most important one.
There have been other publicity men of lesser
rank in all branches OF the military service,
but none Of them has ever possessed free
hand and many of them have, in addition,
lacked the inclination to tell the American
people what is going on. General March is
responsible to nobody but Secretary Baker,
and as the secretary defers to his Judgment
in military matters it may be understood that
the chief4of-staf can say what he pleases
about the doings of the American Expedi-
tionary Force.
1t pleases him in these days to say great
deal, and as his sef1i-weekly meetings with
newspaper men continue and mutual UNDER
standing grows, the public is hearing more
authoritative facts about the army than ever
before. General March meets newspaper
correspondents on Wednesday and Saturday
mornings at, II 80 o'clock The meetings
take place on the second floor of the State,
War and Navy building in large room at
the northwest corner, which is one of suite
belonging to the chief-of-staff.
There IS an element of military precision
about these meetings, but no red tape. The
correspondents wait in the corridor until
1880, at which instant General March invari-
ably appears, followed by an aide. He en-
ters the room first and the newspaper men
follow and take seats. The general stands.
All about the walls are military maps. There
is one in particular, illustrating the Rheims
Scissors front. which General March utilizes
to illustrate his remarks.
He begins briskly, usually with state
nscnt OF the general situation, and then takes
up facts concerning the American army. Part
of the time he reads from a prepared paper;
occasionally he talks extemporaneously. He
talks quickly and incisively, and the two stem
ographers present are busy young men. Hav-
ing come to the end of his statement, General
March begins answering questions that have
been submitted to him in writing the day
before. When these are gone through with
he lays aside his memoranda and announces
"Questonsp
That is the signal for verbal questions,
and these are apt to be numerous. He never
