HONEST ADVERTISING.

The Associated Advertising Clubs OF
the World are engaged in a national
campaign for truth in advertising"
They have a National Vigilance Com
mittee prepared to prosecute fraudu-
lent advertisers. So effective, how
ever, has been the moral propaganda
Of this organization. and so ready are
business men in general TO accept high
standards OF honesty. that there Is
seldom any occasion for more dras-
tic methods than suggestion and per-
suasion. AS Richard II. Lee told an
audience in Tacoma, recently:
THE enemies of honest business
know that there is modified behind
the Associated Advertising clubs as
the first line of defense practically
every business Organization Of stand
Ing in the country. ready to fight in
defense Of commercial integrity"
The committee. he says. is simply
helping the nations business to make
it's advertising 100 per cent depend
able" IL is not far below that proud
level now. as any fair minded person
may discover by carefuI examination
OF present-day newspaper and mag
azine advertising.
There Is no doubt as to the wisdom
Of this policy. Incomparably more
business is done on the new basis OF
truthful publicity than on the old, re,
pudiated basis of cxaggcration anc
dist tortion, and II Is done with more
pleasure and satisfac don to everybody
concerned. The greatest American
business institutions have been built
on foundation OF truthful state
ments. 1t Is truthfulness that makes
America successful in the world :
markets. 1t Is truthfulness that has
made the American people the great
est purchasers in the world.
Those who ask what is the use of
advertising. If only the strict truth is
TO 10 told, do not understand the ri
diments Of advertising. Truth itself
has to be advertised, emphatically and
repeatedly, lest falsehood crowd it out
OF peoples minds. Any minister OF
the Gospel can testify to that. More.
over, there is room for endless com
petition in the manner of presenting
truth, whether one is dealing with re.
lision, as tho preachers do, or beauty
as the poets do, or human nature, a.
the novelists and playwrigts do, o
merchandise. as the commercial ad
vertisers do. Art may be used il
presenting falsehood. too, but it Sc,
dom succeeds very long.

EUROPE ON THE MOVE,

An editor unusually familiar with
the immigration situation, when asked
whether it was true that $4,000. 900
Europeans were trying to get into the
United States, replied: 1T is not
true. They are all trying to get here.
Europe is on the move"
There is a great deal of emigration
from European countries which,
though it affects the United States
only indirectly, adds TO the menace.
Thus Germans and other nationalities
from Central Europe are said to be
moving in great p'Nmbers into Scan
dinavian and other border countries,
crowding the natives there so that
more of them are influenced TO come
to America.
The rate at which immigrants have
been arriving lately is more than L.
100000 a year. Recently 5000
reached New York in one day. Many
of the newcomers are sent back for
destitution or other disqualifcations
There is prospect now of q new
system being adopted, whereby most
of the inspection work will be done
on the other side, and the obviously
Ineligible stopped before they start.
This would be an admirable reform.
But 1t would not solve the whole
problem.
Apparently, the present immigra-
tion laws. even If perfectly enforced,
would leave the doors open danger
ously wide. There Is growing de-
mand for a policy cf greater restric
tion. 1t may be found advisable for a
while at least. to adopt the plan favor
ed by Albert Johnson, chairman Of
the congressional immigration corr
mittee and limit immigration to the
close blood relatives of naturalized
citizens"

10 Is reassuring TO doubters on this

RAILROADS AND AUTOMOBILES,

The railroad used 10 Re the great
slaughterer in this country. 1t has
lost that distinction. It's place is TAX
en- by the automobile.
Railroads not only Kill fewer people
per million than they used to, but in
the cities their victims are now ac-
tually fewer than they were ten or
fifteen years ago, in spite of the in
crease in population ard trackage. For
the whole country, railroad deaths are
now increasing annually at the rate
of about 125 per million, while auto
mobile deaths are increasing eight
times as fast.
Two years ago automobiles killed
in the registration area which in
cludes four-ffths OF the national pop
ulation, 1926 people, and the rail-
roads. S,619. The increase undoubted-
ly will make the automobile fatalities
this year greater than those O. tac
railroads.
The automobile is not only killing
more people than the locomotive, bat
more than Industrial machinery.
The great Improvement in proven
ton of accident and death on railroads
and in factories came about when the
nation became horrified by the bloody
records and turned its attention to the
matter in earnest. There is hope that
similar forces will now be set in op-
