1t was in the early hour of a

full gates of what promised to be
a beautiful day. The king of day

mountain, hill, and valley covered
with fallen leaves in bright Grim

Indeed, a scene of marvellous
beauty and indescribable glory.

Heaven above is otter blue,
Earth around is sweeter green,
Something lives in every hue,
Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with gladder songs,
Flowers with richer beauty shine,
While know as now | know,

Thus in every new dawn, pic
lures of wondous beauty are given,
wherein we see "the heavens de-
claring the glory of God, and the

In democracy in which there
is no law which compels a man to
80 to church, and with Bible
whose commands to attend church
apply specifically only to church
members, it is plainly up to the
churches themselves to attract the
outsider.
Il may seriously be questioned
Whethere the church as whole is
actually holding it's own. 1t has
always been assumed that the
church is losing out in the larger
cities, but that fact is that the per-
centage of church attendance in the
country is even smaller than it is
in the town.
All Of this makes the proposed
campaign on Religion of the
Church Advertising Department Of
the International Advertising Asso-
citation very significant The ad-
vertisinS men who are to conduct
this campaign do not pretend to
be experts on Religion they are eX-
perts on advertising. They have
selected a commission of one hun
dred of the outstanding ministers
of the United States, who will form
ulate the messages to be promoted,
and a very formidable group of ma
tionaly known leaders in American
life constitute an Advisory Council
to guide them in the principles of
the campaign.
II has been announced that while
yhe most modern advertising
methods will be employed in adj
Vertising Religion, stunts" will
be attempted. Following the prac-
tiee of good advertising men, it is
planned 20 make comprehensive
study of the religious situation
throughout the United States be-
fore beginning their public promo
tional plans, and again, like good
advertising men, they will not en-
peet to accomplish marocles by the
insertion of a shingle advertise
ment in the daily newspapers. They
are to spend considerable time in
creating am atmosphere favorable
To Religion, so that men will think
well OF it, thus making it easier fer
the churches of various dcnomina-
tons to carry on their work more
effectively.
No doubt the time is ripe for the
promotion of Religion as a solvent
for many of the great problems that
trouble America today. Every
great social and economic question

WAR ON DIRECT
PRIMARY.

The future of the direct pri-
mary has been jeopardized BY
the scandals over the expendi-
lures made by individual can
didates for. party nominations
and by the lack of public inter
est in this modern method Of
selecting party nominees. An
investigation recently complet-
ed by Richard Boeckel of the
Editorial Research Reports Of
Washington reveals that at
tacks on the primary will be
made during the coming winter
in practically all the States
employing the system. Not all
the States, Of course. will modi-
fy or repeal their present law,
but changes are practically GER
tain in several of them, perhaps
marking the beginning of a
general movement that will re-
suit eventually in a plan being
brought forward, combining
the primary with the conven-
ton in a new nominating sys-
tenn. designed to eliminate the
defects of each and to preserve
the advantages of both.
The direct primary. in one
form or another. is in use in
forty-6ve States today. Only
three States make all their nom
nations by other methods.
They are Connecticut, Rhode
Island and New Mexico. In
some others, part of the non,i-
nations are made in convention.
New York and Idaho are in
cluded in this group. Indiana,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey
probably will be added to the
list during the coming year.
The Republican State con-
vention in New Jersey commit
ted the party to abandoning
the primary system for nominal
ting governor and United
States senators, sponsoring the
return to the convention sys-
tenn. The Democratic State
convention, on the other hand.
declared against any change in
the primary law.

PSYCHOLOGY OF
CRAFTSMANSHIP

One would suppose. in read
ing the accounts Of the extra
ordinary craftsmanship of the
late Annie Oakley. that she
never missed a shot. She died,
however, missing a good many
shots. Sometimes, in the Buffalo
Bill show. she would begin
shooting and miss one ball after
another. She would then walk
three times around the chair
that stood by her side. and be-
gin shooting again. This time
every shot would tell. Psyche
logy, probably; or merely dull
eye in starting, which a shot or
two more would have correct
ed But Apnie was undoubtedly
superstitious, and thought she
dispelled hoodoo by walking
around the chair.
The mystery of the reason
for the highest type of marks
manship was not solved thru
her skill or any revelation Of
hers. The trick lies largely in a
steady hand, but that does not
entirely account for it, because
one may have a steady hand
and still be an Indifferent shot.
There is accuracy of eye, the
judgement Of distance-and
then something. 1t seems as if
there is, in drawing bead with
a rifle on a distant object
psychological instant. briefer
than the winking of an eye,
when a shot fired from the gun
will surely hit the mark. The
trick is to pull the trigger at that
precise instant. And there is
where the psychology comes in.

ness men, industrialists, and pro-
fessional men of every kind ARE
eagerly telling us that they are
conducting their affairs upon high
ethical grounds.
When men arc stirred in con-
vention by powerful moral appeal,
they often involuntarily break out
in the hymn, Onward Christian
Soldiers" This indicates the deep
religious spirit which is inherent
in mankind. The task now is to
denitely direct the religious spirit
which men possess, or rather which
possess them. This, presumably,
the advertising men of America,
under the general tutelage of
trained religious leaders, will und-
ertakc to do.

veloped and established as a
result of protest against the
abuses of the old-time conven-
ton system. Prior to the gen
/ eral adoption of the direct
method Of nomination, it was
widely asserted that the con-
ventions were controlled in ma
ny instances by political bosses,
and that these bosses, in turn,
were controlled by or were
closely allied with the preda-
tory interests. 1t was argued
! that, the primary would make
the rule of party bosses impos-
sible and would reduce corrup-
ton to a minimum. Moreover,
it was said that the power of
the machine would be broken
and that the party organization
would be made more response
BILE to the rank and file of the
party. The primary was ex-
pected to bring out a new and
better type of candidate and to
increase the size of the vote.
The primary held its strength
pretty we'll until the close Of
the World War. Then a reac-
ton set in. Since 1919 the
system has been brought under
attack in the Legislatures Of
over half the States.
An outstanding objection to
the primary system, the validity
of which is widely admitted, is
that it produces ballot which
is frequently of such unreasona-
BILE length as to make intelli-
gent voting impossible. BAL
lots containing the names of Il
hundred or more candidates
are brought forward occasion
ally. In consequence, the short
ballot and preferential voting
is being urged in some States.
If the movement for an outright
abandonment of direct nomi-
nations fails. and the public is
DESTROYS of giving the primary
further trial, it seems pro5a-
bic that some new plan will be
suggested. perhaps based on
the pre-primary convention sys-
tenn which has been experiment
ted with in a number of states.
Whatever individual opin-
ions may be, changes in the
present system undoubtedly are
needed. The primary is le-
stroying party authority in "A
country where the only possible
form Of government is a gov
eminent by political parties.
In proportion as parties are
weakened. the government be-
comes less efficient. Obvious
ly, it should be the desire Of
everybody to strengthen the
major political parties in every
way, for when the parties are
strong, the government is eff
cient and when the parties are
weak the government is more
likely to be unsatisfactory than
otherwise. Possibly the con-
which will develop
in various States during the
coming winter will result IN
beneficial changes.

ADVERTISING AN INVESTMENT

ADVERTISING AN INVESTMENT
 The idea prevails among some business people that advertising is merely an expense, something to be added wholly to the operating costs of 8 business.
 It is of course true that advertis- ing is one of the necessary operat- ing costs of business, but it Is also true that it is an investment creating values for future use.
 Wien a concern advertises re- eularly, it builds up good will. It creates a reputation for that con- cern for enterprise and progressive ness, and it draws people to the store to see the goods thus describ- cd, and good part of these people will become permanent customers.
 The good will of a business is as much a part of it's assets IS money locked up in the building or fixtures it owns or the stock that 1t carries. If you buy good busi- ness, you usually have to pay 8 heavy sum for that good will. You ,.re building that permanent invest ment every day you advertise Michigan Press Bulletin.
