COMMUNICATING
OUTLET TO THESEA
Plea for U. S. Aid, Pending
Tacna-Arica Dispute,
CourteouSIy Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, April 29.-Whi
the people throughout the country
were carrying on celebrations in the
belief that the United States would
aid them in obtaining an outlet to the
sea, as suggested by President Siles
in a message to President Coolidge last
week. the American Chief Executive,
in a courteous but firm reply, informed
Bolivia that only with the consent of
chile and Peru could Bolivia interfere
in the present negotiations in Wash
'ngton, initiated by Secretary of State
kellogg. in an attempt to find another
way than a plebiscite to settle the
Tacna-Arica dispute.
President Coolidge in his reply in
formed President Siles that his duties
In the Tacna- a-Arica question had to do
solely with the dispute between Chile
snd Peru over the two provinces. He
said the negotiations between Chile
and Peru now in progress in Wash
tngton originated through the good
offices of the United States through
Its Secretary of State to the Chilean
and Peruvian governments to afford
them an opportunity to effect d settle
ment of their differences outside the
limits of President Coolidges arbitral
award.
Evidently" President Coolidge's
message added, these negotiations
were limited to the governments Of
Chile and Peru. The Secretary of
state is of the opinion that. due to
lack of consent of these two govern
ments, he considers he cannot invite
any other government or governments
to take part In these negotiations"

LAW ENFORCEMENT

theodore Roosevelt, son of the late president. in a recent
utterance declares that he believes the repeal or modification of
Inc Voistead act is imperative to the best interest of the United
states. lie tempers this statment, however with the ouaifica-
o that ne does not feel that the repeal or modification would
necessarily mean the return of the saloon.
However, what Mr.. Roosevelt said in his speech which
struck is most forclbly was his remarks regarding law enforce
ment. He states that in his opinion law enforcement is the
one thing which will bring about the desired condition relative
10 a better and sane America. Equally pernicious with the
foolish laws, are those public officials who, trucking for popular
favor, refuse to try honestly to enforce them as they stand on
the statue books"
MIR. Roosevelt said if he were in public office he would
make every effort to enforce the law because it is the duty
OF every public official, regardless of what his personal opinion
may be.
There will be necessary a big increase of officials and
machinery If this law is to be enforced" he said. "Those who
advocate the Vostead law must face this fact and be prepared
to stand their share of the burden. 1t is no excuse to saw that
you do not like a law and do not believe in it. If it is a law
1T must be enforced. There is but one sound way to act when
one disapproves of a law, and that is to endeavor to repeal it"
MIR. Roosevelt said that our laws are in u own hands
both to make and to repeal. eve are fouIng our own nest" he
said, when we flaunt and disobey them.
widespread law violation is sweeping the country. In its
wake are crimes of every sort and description. There is nothing
more contagious than crime and license. The murders in
Herr1n and the latest burglary in New York are bred by the
same conditions"

THE HOME OWN PAPER.

The merchants relation to his home town paper are SUD-
posed to be those of an advertiser. That is a narrow view
In nome town paper is an institution. The merchant can
no more escape its influence than anybody else in the COM
munty, whether he advertises in it or not.
Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local
newspaper become definitely constructive. He becomes a part of
this institution without which no community can express itself
expression of the community. Literally, it is the "Voice of the
People" in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium.
This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To
the best OF its ability it answers Who, What, Where, How and
Why? 1t brings the individual out of himself. 1t speaks the
local language. 1t interprets community life. Week by week,
or day by day, it tells the story of the town and county.
Most of US are so accustomed to the home town paper that
we take 1t as a matter of course. If we think ANYTHING
about it at all, We think of its deficiencies. These are present
largely because it is run by falible human beings. The wonder
about the home town paper is that it contains so few mistakes,
not so many.
To the merchant, especially, the home town paper is an
opportunity. His business, too, is a local institution. Unless
the paper and the business have to an important extent failed
to function. Each is affected somewhat by every successive
failure in this respect.
1t does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in
than extravagant 1t is the continual message that counts
most. Sporadic advertisements now and then are of doubtful
value. Perhaps they are better than no advertising at all. Every
advertisement placed by a business house should blend into every
other advertisement it places. The merchants should think
in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single in
sertion.
years. Outstanding examples of it are to be bound in the
national field. Locally, however, advertising has much room
for development. Aside from one or two of the big stores, the
average merchant in the average small town gives too little study
to the power of advertising.
But conditions are changing. More and more merchants are
coming to realize that they are losing money and prestige when
home town paper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the
field of retail merchandising.

THE HEARINGS

The Prohibition hearings have held the center of the stage
during the past week. Both the Vets and Drys have had their
innings, but the end is not yet. There is no gainsaying that
the women made an extraordinary showing. They did more than
merely present evidence in support of their side of the case
they displayed a military aggressive spirit which the
political leaders must recognize. 1t was impossible
to attend the hearings and watch the proceedings without
noting that even the sitting members of the committee who at
the beginning were apparently inclined to regard the protest
of the women as a part of the record, became exceedingly in
terested before the close, at the strength which the women dis
played, and their determination that the law should not be
changed.
