Others that have had the time and the courage to read the Cincinnati pronunciamento have found the same suspicion creeping over them. —Indianapolis News.

• The ABC and X Y Zof ADVERTISING A ERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING A written by Seymour Eaton of Philadelphia O« A Don't let newspaper circulation fool you. The newspaper which has the least power to sell goods usually makes the loudest shout about circulation. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers and then stick. When you get things going keep your head. A lineup of canvassers from competitive newspapers will call on , you immediately and show you by a process of arithmetic, or it may be of geography, that they can give you twice the circulation at half the price; that whoever advised you didn't know what he was talking about; that if the paper your advertisement is in actually pays you their newspapers will certainly make you a millionaire. They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches and you like to meet them. Each will tell you that your advertisement is the prettiest thing he ever saw and that your store is a perfect gem. But don’t. You can't afford it; at least not unless you have sufficient advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the newspapers continuously. An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. If you advertise your store to a hundred and fifty thousand people you can safely bank on the fact that in due time everybody will hear about you. People have away of passing along good news. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of tens of thousands of people who may be months getting around to make their first purchase. You can talk to a hundred ind fifty thousand people any day of the week through a metropolitan newspaper and make your talk a* personal as you wish. You need not employ an interpreter or use a megaphone. Simply talk. That’s all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. Spend thousands a year on rent and electric light and experienced salesmen and then squeeze out a niggardly hundred or two on advertising —on telling the people that you have the store and the goods and the salesmen, all hanging around waiting. A retail shop that spends $5,000 a year on rent ought at the very lowest estimate spend SIO,OOO a year on advertising. Your advertising is not a thing apart from your enterprise. It is your enterprise; a contagion which you yourself create and which, if thoroughly spread, is as enduring as the everlasting hills. (Copyricht. 190 S. by Tribune Company, Chleajo >

We doubt whether Judge Taft can allow what he had to say in his Cincinnati prolixity on rhe publicity question to stand as his final expression. With the democrats insisting on full publicity before election, does Judge Taft, suppose that the country will be satisfied with publicity after election from the republicans, especially with snch men acting as treasurer and assistant treasurer of the committee and with all Wall street urging contributions? The people have a right to know who the men are that are financing their politics. —lndianapolis News. Judge Vesey has been drafted by the republican leaders of Fort Wayne to make the race for joint senatpr for the counties of Allen and Adams. The judge is a clever gentleman and all that, and is also well fixed finacially. which is always a requirement to which republicans look when casting about for candidates; but he is a republican and can hardly expect to do anything more than carry his party vote against a man like Steve'Fleming. The district has a normal democratic majority of about 5,000 and anybody can guess the outcome of the contest.—Columbia City Post.

ARE PLEASED AGAIN Guy Stock Company is a Favorite Among Decatur People DRAW LARGE CROWDS The Stage Wedding of Tonight Will Be a Feature— A Great Company The Guy Stock Company again pleased a large audience last night by th e clever production of the play “The Girl and The Millionaire” which appealed favorably to all present. The clever work of the members of the cast won the admiration of their every hearer. With a sufficiently strong vein of humor to offset the heart rending pathos so well arranged throughout the play, a beautiful contrast was afforded and interest was intense from start to finish. Every play in their repertoire is above the average with a well balanced cast supporting the leading characters in a style which would become the widely herafled professionals of the theatrical world. Aside from the play of tonight, a stunt which will add to the curiosity of the public he pulled off, the marriage of B. K. Mercer and Miss Nola Miller, two of the most popular people of the company. Rev. L. A Stangle, of the United Brethren church has been engaged to perform the ceremony, which promises to be imprissive. Immediately .after the wedding a wedding supper will be served to the friends of the contracting parties, several Decatur people being among the invited guests.
