The Advantages of
Church Advertising

There rs a movement in many parts
c! Inc country during these days Of
reconstruction when moral and reii-
gious influences are reaching out in
an effort TO benefit humanity for
church advertising through the COL
umns of the press. 1t is beginning
TO be generally realized that church
advertising is simply insurance
against the hazard OF misinformed,
or uniformed public, just as it is for
a public service corporation whose
very existence depends on public
opinion.
Public opinion when informed is
safe, for the masses of the people are
at heart honest and fair, but public
opinion when misinformed, or unin-
formed, is dangerous. This principle
applies with as much force TO the
church as it does TO secular enter
prises of any kind. for the church is
the greatest of all public service en-
terprises. Church advertising If prop
erly directed. would be one of the
greatest agencies in the world in as
sisting religious people TO carry on
women from sin, and the attendant
evils that surround them. The
church should employ publicity in
every aailable form at its insurance
against Indifference, ignorance and
prejudice.
The church, of course, has through
all of the centuries of its existence,
been engaged in publicity By every
effort and method it has invoked in
preaching the gospel. but some meth
odis and employments now commend
ed for its practice have not been ex-
haustively used in the past.
A lot of trite things have been said
about what Jesus would do If He were
on earth May not the opinion be
ventured that He would use the great
channels of advertising to extend His
gospel? Even when He was here
He did not often wait for people to
come TO Him-He went 10 them and
He told His disciples to go into the
highways and hedges and compel men
TO come" There is not a highway
or hedge anywhere, there is no corner
of the country so remote, but what

Don't ask the newspaper for free
space. If it gave away its space it
could not exist, for space is all it ha d.
to sell. Don't ask for cut rates. The
church is no beggar. Every church
should provide definite amount each
year for paid advertising. The best
possible medium for paid advertising
is the newspaper. daily or weekly, as
the case may be. The newspaper is
the most insistent factor in our ma
tional life. Like it or not we must
admit that the American people are
largely becoming a newspaper edu-
Gated people. There are two funda.
mental reasons why the church should
advertise: First. because II is the
greatest thing in the world to adver.
tise. Second, because advertising
pays and is the best way TO reach all
of the people.

Does Colorado Want Coal Strike?

1t is YET uncertain whether there remains last hour
possibility of avertng the great calamity OF nation nwde
coal strike.
In the face of President Wilson's statement that the
strike is both uustiable and unlawful and his request
that the strike order be cancelled is possible that
todays meeting the coal miners may recede from the
position they have assumed.
Thus far, however, their actions to have been
controlled not by any desire for industrial peace and not
by any regard for the public interests but solely bv
radicals and revoutionsts who wish strike as step
toward revolution To them the public suffering and
the industrial loss that certain to ensure, are not
reasons for avoiding strike, but they for
precpitatng the strike tending to make the strike
more effective for the purpose they have in mind.
Ii those radicals able to maintain their control of
the mine workers organization and to persist in their
strike order, it will then become necessary for the

and suffering upon whether will take effective
steps for the protection of ourselves homes and our
business interests.
The great majority of Colorado coal miners do not
desire to stop production. There are conditions in
Colorado coal mining TO justify strike at this time
The President has said the strike will not be permitted
The government of Colorado has announced its pur-
pose OF giving protection TO the rights of persons and of
Ii becomes therefore, question, first whether the
union wage eaners OF Colorado going TO permit this
revolutionary, unjustifable and unlawful strike to
querade union labor movement and are they going
to their influence and the power of their organ
zations 10 aid and defend reasonable, anti-union
attempt TO wreck Colorado prosperity?
The mine owners and operators of Colorado not
going to attempt TO run their mines in opposition to
public opinion
The state government of Colorado will not be any
Thing different than what il is desired to be by the
majority of the people of this state.
Under our system of free government the people
make the laws: the people choose the persons that
entrusted with the enforcement Of those laws and with
the protection Of the rights of all citizens; tile people
determine what the policy well se methods Of gov
ernment shall be.
The people of Colorado have coal strike if they
want one and neither the state governmet he,coa
companies any else will interfere with their
nalenable right to plunge into bankruptcy and anarchy
if they really desire so to do.
But the people of Colorado and of the Arkansas
valley do not have to have coal strike unless they want

FATHER or THE PARAGRAPH
George d. Prentice, oIdtlme Journal
list, Once Wished to Use
sHa Pistols, as Well.

One hundred and sixteen years ago,
on December 49, 1902, there was born
at Preston, Conn, George y. Prentice,
who became one of the most noted
newspaper men of his time, the father
of the editorial paragraph, as the short
terse pointed comments he made on
men and matters were called, and VINO
narrowly missed an editorial career IN
Ohio.
Prentice toured Ohio in 1880, after
he had already made name for HIM
self in eastern journalism, looking for
a location, but passed on into Ken
lucky, where at Lexington he began
work on his "Life Of Henry Clay"
and ultimately became editor of the
Louisville Journal. On his way through
Ohio he called on William D. Gala
CHER, who had already become well
known as an editor and who was then
publishing his unfortunate venture at
Xenia-"The Backwoodsman."
Gallagher was upstairs working
with the types that summer day IN
1880 and a helper from below an
nounced his caller. Gallagher stopped
70 make himself little more present.
able. whereupon Prentice shouted up
stairs, "Never mind inky fingers; I'm
used to them" The two men were IN
hearty accord then, but 1t is interest
ing to note that they came to swords
points twenty years later-or rather to
pistol points.
The slavery question coming up, IN
the early fifties, the two men found
themselves editors Of the two princi-
pal newspapers OF Louisville-Gal-
lagher of the Courier and Prentice OF
the Journal, taking opposite sides.
Gallagher was strong for abolition ana
Prentice defended slavery. Their ref
erences to each other soon descended
to the level Of personal Journalism
Finally Prentice went to Cincinnati
where Gallagher had written much for
the newspapers, digging up his aboH-
tion sentiments for the purpose of re-
failing them to pro-slavery Louisville.
This aroused the lion in Gallagher and
he applied opprobrious terms to Prem
tice.
The next day a. Colonel Churchill ar
rived at Gallaghers rural home with
a challenge to him to fight duel. AT
ter reading the challenge Gallagher
tore it into bits and said to Churchill
''Tell Prentice that that is my answer
to his foolish challenge" Prentice
died in Louisville, January %, 1870.
