ADVERTISERS TALK
ON WIDENING OF
U. S. TRADE AREA

Buffalo. N Y, March 3O--The de-
veiopment of the foreign trade OF the
Cniteo states to keep pace with the
country's rapidly expanding factory
production was one of the principal
topics discussed at the business and
reconstruction convention of the Ad-
vertising affil;at.oa here.
The subject was brought before the
advertising clubs last night at the
opening banquet by Burwell S. Cutler.

"WILDCAT'' INVESTMENTS.

The problem of wildcat investments in an i'm
portant one and cannot be lightly dismissed.
There is a perfectly legitimate field open to
the promoter who wildcats with the hope of big
profits through final success. Operations of this
kind are frequent through the organization Of
small companies and by the personal activity of
the promoter among immediate friends and
quaintances, and to certain extent with the aid
of newspaper advertising. Such promotion
should be encouraged; the operations are usual
ly conducted openly and above-board, with the
final profit depending upon the success of the
enterprise.
On the other hand, there are great abuses
through Irresponsible promoters using adverts-
ing space freely, issuing extensive prospectuses
and exaggerated statements and presuming that
there is no opportunity for failure. In many of
these cases, even with possible success the in
weston has very little chance for the return of
his capital.
AS general proposition any prospective in
weston who has been told the whole truth as to
the company whose stock he is purchasing
should be permitted to make the investment if
he cares to take the chance.
The promoter should discuss fully the stock
authorized by his company, in dollars and
shares; how much promotion stock was issued
and what value; the nature and terms of con-
tract setting forth prices to be paid, etc., well
as the promotion stock issued to the promoters.
The amount amounts to be paid for selling
the stock should be disclosed; the amount ex-
pended for advertising, fees, an dsimilar ex-
penses.
It might be wise to insist upon the promoter
escrowing his stock and being prevented from
selling it until after the property is on paying
basis.

PENSACOLA JOURNAL. MONDAY MORNING MARCH 81

Stunning to question that point, then we hasten
to acknowledge that we have been mistaken all
along and apologize for our needless ignorance.
We have labored long, hard and earnestly with
our understanding distorted and perverted as
to the meaning of Pep" We always thought
it was an abbreviation of, or a nickname for,
Pepper. We have always ,T,,shrdlu cmfwyp no
Pepper. We have heard the word Ginger"
used frequently in the same sense. Both being
hot, and suggestiev of quick action, we thought
they were equally appropriate in expressing in
short way the idea of sudden activity and
quick results.
Obviously it would not sound as well to alb
breviate Ginger and say "put some gin into
it," because the word "gin" is too suggestive.
Therefore Ginger" has never been abbreviat-
ed, but the good old word pepper can be de-
cap. lated or detailed, and still express much

BIG DEMURRAGE
CHARGES HELD
AGAINST COUNTY

Demurrage charges, amounting to
almost $500. which the Louisville N
Nashville railroad contends the county
must settle for road materials held up
while the Bayou Chico bridge was
down, remaining unpaid.
County Attorney Reese claims that
the Pensacola Electric Company is liza
BILE for these charges, as they did not
notify the proper officials that they had
declared an embargo and that the
bridge was being repaired and supplies
could not be delivered. On the other
hand, Blount, Blount. & Carter, attor-
neys for the electric company, have
rendered an opinion that, as the gov
eminent ordered them to dismantle the
bridge, they can not be held RESPONSE
BILE.
Action of the electric company has
caused a storm of protest. Mr.. Reese
contends that the reasons offered are
'fallacious" and that it makes no diff
ference what agency gave the order,
a proper notification was due the board
of county commissioners. NO matter
what agency, whether it was the gov
eminent or God almighty, that tore
down the bridge" he said, it was the
business of the electric company to
notify us to stop shipments or to pay
the demurrage.'
The L. & n. states that the consign-
ees are liable and. so looks to the coun-
ty for settlement. The county attorney
is of the decided opinion that this is
not so.
The only way the county might be
held responsible, it is claimed is
where they failed to unload Immediate
ly after shipments had been made to
their spur track. They would be liable
for this amount, but not for the much
larger sum, it is claimed.
When the Pensacola Electric Com
pany trestle had been torn down, they
paced an embargo on all material 60
ing over to the other side of the bayou
and the material for the of the
county lay on the L. & n. tracks. For
the first four days, a demurrage charge
of So was made. for the next four,
the sum of IS was charged and after
that SO for each successive day.
The county contends that, even after
the cars were switched to their tracks,
it was done SO hurriedly that it was
for workmen to unload them
at once. Failure to unload them is the
only instance in which employees Of
the county erred they say.

BRYAN ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

BRYAN ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
- The League of Nations must be ratified by the
United States Senate in the form in which it is
brought back from Paris by President Wilson
or the campaign of 1920 will center around that
one great issue, and the people of the United
States will get an opportunity to vote upon the
question directly.
That is the opinion of William ]. Bryan, dem
ocratic leader and former secretary of state.
Bryan does not believe, however, that the is
sue will go to the people, republican senatorial
round-robins Notwithstanding.
- He believes certain changes in the league con-
stitution are desirable to clarity it, and that
some amendments will be made.
These amendments, he thinks, will provide
sloophole through which the republican senators
pledged against the original draft can logically
support it, and that most of them will do so.
'The republican senator's who seem so conf
dent that they will be able to get one more than
one-third of the senate on their side and thus
be able to prevent ratification of the League of
= Nations treaty, seem to be laboring under the
redelusion that the minority rule in this coun-
try" said Bryan.
But they are greatly mistaken. In this coun-
try majority rules.
"a minority cannot declare the policy of the
country. 1t cannot instruct the president what
kind of treaty to make. 1t can only obstruct or
stay action until the next election.
"One-third of the senate will be elected in
1920. And when the people vote they can sub
stitute new senators for the DIRECTORS whose
terms expire, and they can scare the others to
death.
For another one-third will be elected in an
other two years, and a senator is very much in
clined to keep to the ground
Il think majority of the people would like
to see amendments made to the original consti-
tuition, but when the constitution Of the league
is finally presented in complete form the people
will have to choose between the league as it then
lis and the old plan that has written the history
Of the world in characters of blood
I'VE will then have to decide whether to take
the risks that come with the league or the risks
that come with rejecting it. / have no doubt
how the people will decide
The reaction against war is swelling into an
irresistible tide. man who stands out against
league which, like this one, almost makes war
impossible, will be engufed. For the
American people will, if they can, make this the
last war to redden the earth with blood
"And remember-it is very likely that the
women will vote in 1920; and woe to the man who
talks was to the women who have passed
through the anguish of the last two years.
II believe we shall secure some important
amendments to the league constitution before it
is finally completed. But make no mistake: The
American people will indorse the League of Ma
tiOns..
