 Anyone having any experience in the newspaper game knows that Circulation the losing proposition the circulation gets the loses unless up the pay many items make modern weekly newspaper
 Some of the theoretical sentmentasts believe that which advertising be principles 1t especially this of laboring believe that labor paper which accepts advertising truly champion the of Trade Unonsm As of to back their theory while have many prove where of the best journals labor papers and magazines accepting and all advertising at the time true to the principles they represent and thoroughly champion
 For illustration Appeal to Reason published at Grard Kansas with circulation of than 80OO0 accepts any Appeal to will agree with us that it of the most radical Socialist that of changing editorial policy

 The Philadelphia biggest weekly labor published in Amerca16 pages every week This owned by Organized Labor of all advertising Bull Durham anything Anyone reads this paper will agree with that good labor and is true champion of real Trade Unionism.
 The American Federatonist the only of the American Federation of Labor edited by Gomper accepts advertising and by gancng through its pages you will note opep shop ads such that would easily shock of theoretical students of labor will dare that the American Feerationst Is the best edited monthly publication in America today.

GOVERNOR MARCUS H. HoLcoMs. comprehensive and detailed explaHa- tion of the crisis which the University must face during 1920.
 High tribute to the attainments of Wesleyan in the educational 1eld is contained in the following significant letter sent by Governor Marcus H. Hol- comb to President William Arnold Shanklin of the University:
 My Dear President Shanklin:
 wish to acknowledge receipt of
 copy of "Connecticut and Wes-
 leyan" and to congratulate the col
 lege thereupon. It Is character
 istic of Wesleyan.
 All who are interested in the
 welfare and progress of our state
 and nation realize they must sup
 port to the utmost the schools and
 colleges, which are the bulwark of
 our institutions. Of all the col
 leses in our land the record of
 Wesleyan University is recognized
 as being second to none in its
 chosen fields. From its foundation
 it has been one of the most sue
 cessful of our independent colleges
 and merits the support 1t now asks.
 No institution can maintain its
 high record of service-much less
 meet greatly increased responsibil-
 ities-with endowment, plant and
 equipment which may have been
 adequates five years ago.
 G <r%4
 General Assembly in1S31, Wes-
 leyan has been true to it's trust and
 merits from the citizens of Con-
 necticut their fullest support.
 Sincerely yours.
 MARCUS H. HOLGOMB.
 A copy of Connecticut an6 Wes- leyan,'' together with copy of the above letter, Is being sent to every alumnus and hundreds of other people in Connecticut this week. Personal letters will also be sent out from time to time, all leading up to the actual campaign for subscriptions, which takes place the first week in April. Several people have already subscrib- ed to the fund, and at the New York Alumni dinner held in Hotel Astor Jan uary 23 President Shanklfn announced that nearly S15O. 900 had been raised
 There are 595 students receiving their education ak Wesleyan this year. Of that number 172, or nearly one third, come from Connecticut. Each one of these men receives his education at much less than cost Wesleyan asks the students to pay all they are able. Beginning next fall, the tuition charges will be as high as those of any college in the country. Even then the stu dents will pay only about one-third of the total cost of their education.
 Much the larger part of the revenue of the University is derived from it's endowment. Such policy is essential to education on a democratic basis While one-third of all the students of Wesleyan come from Connecticut, less than one-tenth of its endowment has been derived from this state The larger benefactions to the University have come for the most part from New York and Massachusetts.

Cupid ruled supremely over the
twenty-sixth great electrical parade
of Ak Sar-Bep. which would its Won
deriul way through the business
streets of the city last night, accom-
panied by the music of 10 bands and
applause of 100000 people.
The theme Of this great parade
was Famous Love Stories," a sub
jcct of universal appeal to the hearts
of men and women.
More than Us actors, costumed to
represent famous lovers of history,
rode upon the floats. The only char
acter not represented by living
actor was Galatea who, i'll mythology,
was statue of a beautiful womar
with which its sculptor fell in love
and which was brought to life by
Venus. An artist, brought here from
the eeast, worked three weeks to
mould the statue OF Galatea. Such
is the perfection with which Ak-Sar-
ben-ic things are done.
Enormous Crowds.
Such crowds of out-of-town folks
have not been seen in Omaha for
long time They had come in on
many special and regular trains and
by automobile.
They began gathering along the
line of march long before 6 o'clock,
and by $50 the principal corners
we're packed with people, though the
parade did not start until after 8.
Streets were ahmed with auto
mobiles which, by special arrange
ment, were allowed to park on in
tersecting streets along the parade
route. Every window along the
way was filled with spectators.
They looked down from trolley
poles, from the tops of buildings,
from cornices. The scaffolding
erected in front of the courthouse
by workmen repairing the building
was we'll filled with people. The
grand stand on the south side OF
Farnam street from Seventeenth to
Eighteenth streets was full. So

where the trolleys of the floats

The course of the parade was
heightened this year by having it

Most of the subjects of the floats
