ANOTHER FAILURE.

Without the presence of President
Wilson, the economic conference now
meeting in Washington seems to have
failed already-a almost before it be-
gan.
It is doubtful that it would have
been success even had the president
been present. The lines were drawn
too sharply, there was too much mu-
tual distrust and the interests con-
ceTned were too eager for selfish gain
to permit the conference to be sue
cess. 1t is, of course, regrettable that

Of labor and capital can't get togeth-

The matter seemed a little interest

Four Minute men who organized
during the great war to promote the
sale of Liberty bonds have under
taken new task. They are preach
ing patriotism and love Of country at
the street corners.
The soapbox has been the rostrum
of those who preached class hatred
and revolution, it was said IN an

Four Minute men believed that this
class of speakers should be met on
their own ground:
Accordingly they organized as the

Der speaks each night. The first
meetings have been well attended
and the Minute Men say they have
been encouraged by sympathetic re
spouse from their audiences. 1t Is

One Sidelight on
Ups and Downs Of
Advertising Effect

Stepping into one Of the largest
haberdashery stores on Atlantic
City's much-traveled Boardwalk,
where tens of thousands of people
daily tramp, collars of a certain
brand were asked for. The proprietor,
who in that case happened to be the
salesman, hesitated moment, said
that he had never heard of that
brand, and asked for the name of
the maker. This was given. It happen
ed to be the name of one of the big
gest collar making concerns in Amer
lea. ooh" said the proprietor in re-
ply, "cou cannot find a collar i'll At
lantic City made by that company
In reply to the expression of sur
prise and the query why, he said:
"a few years ago that concern
mentioning the nancy commanded
the trade of the country to such an
extent that they thought they could
stop advertising, but rival con-
Germ, whose collar is certainly no bet
ter, saw their chance and began an
advertising campaign which practic-
ally put the other people entirely out
of business, so far as Atlantic City is
concerned"
The speaker did not know that he
was talking to newspaper man. He
was simply expressing his own views
as to what had caused the slump in
! trade. He said that the prosperous
concern had pushed its advertising so
heavily and kept it up SO vigorously
that it had captured the business, and
that the other people had simply lost

Insurance Church
Being Operated BY
The Episcopalians

Charleston, S. C. Oct 9-Perhaps
the first insurance church" in history
is in operation here. Death benefits,
sick benefits, and old age pensions
are part of the practical Christianity
practiced by st. Johns Episcopal
Mission among it's parishioners, with
one days wage month from each
employed man and women as prem
ium. In the two onths the plan has
, been in operation, the congregation
has increased until a movement has
been started to raise a $4,000 fund
and build a church large enough for
the needs.
The inventor of the insurance
church" plan is Rev. A. E. Cornish,
vetern Episcopal rector of Charles
ton. Mr.. Cornish held the pulpit Of
St. Johns from 1883 to 1896, and re-
turned last July when the Episcopal
nation wide campaign for ascertain
ing and financing the needs Of the
whole church made it necessary for
some one to direct the survey of the
parish.
Mr.. Cornish found his former par
ishioners strangely .apathetic. Decid-
ing to win back their interest, he
planned to give them an opportunity
to do something definite for the main
tenance and constructive work of the
church. The insurance plan was con-
ceived. All members of the mission
passing the age of 70 are to be pen
stoned at 81 week. Persons who fall
i'll are given S. week sick benefit
for four consecutive weeks. One hun
dred dollars is paid the relatives of
each member in good standing, at his
death,
