WHAT ADVERTISING DOES

America has the best life on this
earth because it has the best adver-
tised life, says Colonel w. G. Edens
Of the Public Relations Commission,
American Bankers Association. He
goes on: american health is the best
in the world because American peo-
pie are best informed in the ways and
habits of health, largely through ad-
vertising. American business is the
largest and most successful in the
world because it uses advertising the
most. American business men enlarge
their business institutions in proper
ton as they advertise them. Ameri-
can buyers become more shrewd in
spending their money in proportion
as they read advertisements.
"The press of the United States is
regarded by many as the most power
full of our institutions. 1t must be
numbered with the schools and the
churches as one of the trinity Of most
powerful creators of knowledge and
patriotism.
advertising is what 1t is today
largely UcCduS6 OIL Tile power ana SuC-
cess of the daily paper. Nevertheless,
it is true that the daily paper is as
successful as 1t is today because of
advertising.
"The banking business has been ben
Gifted largely by advertising within
the last dozen or fifteen years. Bank
ing institutions have done more adj
vertising than ever before. They have
installed advertising departments
which %acquaint their communities
with facts formerly regarded in the
light of institutional secrets. The
banker publishes facts which build up
confidence In his institution.
"The result has been that millions
of people who formerly would not
place their money in the care of bank
ers, but who boarded 1t at home, en-
it to friends, or invested 1t in
speculations, now regard the
bank as the safest place in the world.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have
been brought from their hiding places
and placed in circulation, much to the
Of America and American in
stitutions, as well as American bust
less. Newspaper advertising has
lone more for American banks in the
dozen years than any other single
agency"

Brief Nature Studies

NEVILLE kingfishers rattle by the lazy w creek through the meadow pasture,
 jays scold the cattle seeking coolness in the muddy streams and goldfinches fly, undulating and sweetly lisping, across the blueberry and bayberry jungles on the side hill, finches sing merrily among the breast high flesh-pink meadowsweet hiding the wet, mucky cowpaths in the swamp bottom
 There is the blunt pyramidal, branching flower-top of the Spiraea latifolia, frequented by little butterflies and bees, and the deeper pink wooly-stemmed, spire-shaped steeple- like flower spike of the hardhack, steeple- bush, Spiraea tomentosa, standing above boneset. asters, swamp milkweed, bungle- weed and shoulder to shoulder with tall joepye-weed in low pastures.
 To the fly-plagued cattle these weeds and bushes are useful as well as ornamental, for when insect pests are too numerous they walk through them, making the pathmazes that puzzle landscape gardeners, and brush off their enemies. The cattle no doubt think that is what Nature made them for, and per haps it is.

Klan Appreciates Publication of News

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 The favorable comments of numerous Bir- mingham Klansmen regarding your having printed the statements issued by the Minis ters' Association of Williamson county, Illi- nois, with reference to the recent lawlessness in that vicinity prompts the writer to express to you the deep appreciation of this organiza- tion for same.
 Editors of large majority of the metro politan dailies when rendered news items which are fair to this organization are too prone to cater to our self-announced ene- mics and refuse to print such items, whereas if we had access to one-half of the space contributed to these enemies for their prop uganda we would have the world by the tail with a down-hill pull"
 Far more frequent than your average read CT dreams is possible Mr. Editor, the same conditions now existing in Williamson coun- ty Illinois, are to be found, and the sub sidized press" q use the words advisedly) fails refuses to print the ''other" side of the affair with the sickly excuse that such an article would be "valueless as news.'

THE PENALTY FOR MURDER

In his defense of the Chicago youths on trial for murder MT. Darrow de- clared that to hang them would be "a worse crime than they committed" The trial has revived the question of capital punishment in the public prints, and the supporters and opponents are engaged in extensive discussion of the subject There is a disposition by critics of the system to make no distinction between killing person by an individual for per sonal motives and by the state as punish ment for the murder. One newspaper opposed to capital punishment declares that the guilt of the two Chicago mur- derers "does not excuse civilization committing another crime and setting example of killing"
 Such arguments overlook the fact that civilization can be maintained only through observance of law, and the law in all but a few states of this country prescribes capital punishment as the most effective protection to society, on the principle that society's wellbeing IS superior to that of a criminal indl- vidual. The Kansas City Star pertinent ly illustrates the distinction in this para graph: Robinson Crusoe on his island had a perfect right to go naked, or to keep pigs in his hut, or to carry con- cealed weapon. Robinson Crusoe in London had to give up these rights be- cause social welfare came first. The tribe from the dawn of primitive civiliza- tion has held it could force its mem- bers to fight in its behalf, If it's safety involved sending it's warriors to death, it sent them, and its action has always been upheld by the common sentiment of mankind. If a nation has the right to draft it's citizens as soldiers and jeop- ardize their lives by sending them into battle, it has the right to punish mur- derers by death if by so doing it can effectively protect its people from as- sassination. The real question is not whether the state is warranted in she'd ding blood, but whether the death pen alty is an effective determent from murder"
 The history of criminology demon strates that it is far more effective than life imprisonment. This is indicated, among other ways, by the strong efforts

of those under. trial for first degree
 murder to escape the death penalty, and
 by the eagerness with which they and
 their families seek life imprisonment in- stead of execution. England promptly punishes murder with death, and one person in four hundred and twelve thou sand in that country is murdered. In the United States, where escape from punishment is" comparatively easy through lenient juries, clever attorneys and maze of technicalities, one person in twelve thousand is murdered. In Italy, where there is no capital punish ment, murders are numerous. In Swift zerland, just over the international bor- der, where capital punishment prevails, murders are exceedingly rare.
 But whether the penalty be death, con- finement in special institutions or in prisons, it is evident that it is ineffective as long as more guilty escape the pen alty than receive it. The real cause of our multiplying murders is failure to convict the guilty or else the official readiness to issue early pardons. Mur- derers must never again be permitted to mingle with free men, once they have forfeited their right to do so.

WARRIOR FUTURE PROSTATE"

The Inland Waterways Corporation is an institution enjoying the confidence of the banks, as well it may, having behind it the authority of the federal govern ment. This week the corporation bor- rowed a quarter of million dollars from a Washington bank, and next week will borrow a similar amount from a New York bank. With this half-mllion the; Warrior barge lines will be put on a cash basis, and will enjoy the benefit of usual cash discounts on purchases. Other features of greater efficiency in the financial administration of the large lines will be coupled with a similar in crease in the able management of the Physical properties of the Warrior sys- tenn.
 @ The friendly and constructive concern sof Colonel Ashburn for the Warrior is indicated anew by his intention to make an early visit to Alabama and by his re- cent utterance: "The future of the War rior seems to be roseate. With the money we have borrowed we will pay the debts of the enterprise, with the result that in every particular it will be on an up- to-date business basis. There is every reason to believe that in the near future the Warrior will be paying the govern ment a revenue with which the service can be extended and amplified. The ex- pertinent of inland navigation is bound to prove feasible, and the result will be general development throughout the country. The railroads ultimately. will find navigable rivers necessary to them in moving the commerce of the country" There is in this brief message to the people of Alabama the assurance of a trained engineer that this territory is about to be served as it should be served by the inland navigable courses. There is the further assurance that the War rior's own revenue will soon be ample to provide the additional equipment needed to make it of the utmost value to our commerce There is also strong

hint to the railroads that their own in- terests will best be advanced by support ing rather than opposing the Warriors success. Already some roads, including the Frisco, have made particular effort to tie in with the Warrior barge lines, and their cooperation will prove as ben- eficial to themselves as to the waterway. The railroads are not expanding as rap idly as the nations interior tonnage is advancing. For their own sakes they will ultimately seek to advancesthe barge lines in every reasonable manner. Some of them are still blind to this oppor- tunity, but the dawn cannot be far off for enlightened administrators.

Just the Other Way

Friedrich Nietsches philosophy is conven- iently roped in to assist in the prosecution and defense of the two Chicago boys. The great German philosopher is held up as an apostle of the theory of force. A quotation from his "Antichrist" is brought to the fore to convince the judge of his diseased mind" and the same mental condition of the two youthful prisoners. Blessed are the war makers, for they shall be called if not the children of Jehovah, the children of Odin, who is greater than Jehovah" What this has to do with the case under consideration must be mystery to all students of Nietsche. The more as latest scientific research has shown that Nietsche's philosophy is an at tack on the hypocrisy involved in the double standard of national and individual conduct in the ethics of Christendom. Rightly under stood" says Professor Van Ess Myers, Met sche's work is classic satire on the philos- ophy of force." In other words the very op- posite of what the lawyers make it.

All the best pople of Milwaukee Kalamazoo, Rochester, Atlanta or Spring field tell the reporters upon their return something along that line. We have heard 50 often that we had the best of everything and in all things that we began to believe it.

The Right Word
A DISCUSSION OF FAINT"
lFind the Error in This Article)
By w. CURTIS NICHOLSON

Leslie B. Sheldon of Mobile, Ala, dis cusses the use of "aint." He writes as fol- lows:
 II noticed few days ago that one of your correspondents raised feeble voice in favor of that much abused word "aint." He hinted that its wide use should justify its accept ance as word. It certainly is like Ban quo's ghost, and will not down. 1 own that I have always had a liking for this word, although I am aware that it is universally condemned by grammarians as vulgarism.
 "Puzzling over this word I made an in vestigation to see if it had the sanction of any authority on words, or, like Topsy, it had just 'growed' up.
 Il found in an old edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (the only one l had at hand), under the heading, 'Abbreviation and Contractions Used in Printing and Writ ing the word ant which is there declared to be a contraction of the words, 'afn not and are not.
 "The authority says that these are among the few of the well established contractions formed by the use of the apostrophe.
 "This being the case, would it not be a good idea to bury 'ain't,' which, after all seems to be but corruption of ant with the long sound of "a in pronunciation!
 This would eliminate 'ain't' as a written word altogether, and give us, in my opinion, a better contraction of the words are not than aren't"
 Well, Mir. Sheldon has happily buried" the combination "ain't." One hardly has the temerity to call the combination a word. And '.The Right Word" is afraid it will have to relegate amt" to the old curiosity shop of used contractions Readers should do their best to never use "ain't"

Tannenberg.

German generals have commemorated the most gruesome slaughter of the whole war, the battle of Tannenberg. Hindenburg, hero of the event, was there and his aides, Mack ensen and Ludendorff Electric signs flashed overhead: Herr, mach uns frei'' Uord, make us free) and Fin Feste Burgist Unsei Gott," Dr. Luther's great choral, was sung by the tens of thousands of soldiers Hin denburg had devoted his whole life to a study of the east Prussia defenses The chance for which he hankered came in Sep tember, 1914, when the Russians had in vaded east Prussia. With crafty strategy and masterful maneuyering he forced the Muscovites back, ever backwards, till hun dreds of thousands of Moujiks perished in the bogs and swamps of the Mazurian lakes. The Russian steam roller. lay smashed by Prussia's sledge hammer. Under the intox- ication of the celebration the other day the old marshal said If necessary, I'll go ahead again" Ten thousand singing and shouting soldiers can make quite a noise, but after all it does not amount to a great deal. Hin denburg overestimates the fatherland's en- thusiasm for what he calls going ahead" The Berlin government had not even sent representatives to the celebration, In Berlin Stresemann and Marx are working hard to undo the crime of their compatriots.
