NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

What newspapers have known these many years and wondered that some part of the world could not know as well seems at last to be carrying weight with the lagging railways—that is, that newspaper advertising is muoh more profitable than any other kind. Charles S. Young, advertising manager for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, has declared in a recent university extension lecture that newspapers are growing steadily in the estimation of the traffic corporations and are even now looked upon as the best sources for commanding the attention of the traveling public. Pleasing as this tardy admission is, our surprise remains that the railways, demanding the most alert intelligence in their operation, should have gone on stumbling in the dark concerning advertising truths accepted years ago in the humblest circles of trade. Theatrical managers and other amusement promoters, steamship lines, insurance companies and department stores have reaped fortunes from the columns of the newspaper time out of mind, and today the baker, grocer, butcher and clothier are advocates of the immense value derived from their use. The era of the sandwich man, the decorated goat, the garish billboard and the inglorious handbill is forever past. Painted rocks on the hillsides and painted elephants in the meadows stand forth as amusing reminders of misguided advertisers in days when business ethics were in the bud. Posters, lithographs, cards and what not of like repute are gradually lining up with the flaring yellow letters on the wayside barn as relics of the methods of our distinguished grandparents. Newspaper advertising is the acknowledged business getter and will continue to be. No other agency speaks to so ccilossal a clientele. The magazine has a wide circulation, to be sure, but it crawls pokily to its destination and then falls into a peaceful siesta for thirty days. The daily and weekly, alive and active, rest not. Hot from the press they deliver tbeir message of the merchant. In a few hours their task is repeated as eagerly, and millions pore over their pages to the magazine’s thousands. The railroads are wise, if belated, in their conversion.—American Press.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: President Roosevelt has startled the diplomatic world by his frank identical note to Russia and Japan in which he expresses, in terms, regarded as extraordinarily forceful for the language of diplomacy, his urgent desire that peace between the beligerents may be speedily accomplished. It is generally assumed that the President, as a result of his extensive communications with both the Czar and the Mikado, conducted through the United States Ambassador to St. Petersburg and the Japanese Minister to Washington, waß assured that such an appeal would be welcomed by both nations. In fact no other hypothesis would account for the publication of the precise language of the appeal. t t t “The President feels that the time has come when in the interest of all mankind he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and lamentable conflict now being waged,” says the President, and further along he says, “The President accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese Governments not only for their own sakes, bu t in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace with one another.” While the note is not exceptionally emphatic for the President, it is remarked that in diplomatic parlance the expression “urge” is particularly strong and would ordinarily be replaced by such an expression as “hopes for” etc. t + t The effort of the President to secure direct negotiations rather than further to act as intermediary will prove a relief to many who have watched the negotiations with no little anxiety fearing that Japan at least would look to the United States to insure good faith on the part of Russia, an insurance which the President would assuredly be powerless to give, especially without the sanction of Congress. If the belligerents act upon the President’s appeal there will undeniably be added another triumph to the administration of Theodore Roosevelt.

The Moroccan situation is beginning to attract considerable attention, although somewhat overshadowed by the peace negotiations. Germany has issued an invitation to all the powers signatory to the Convention of Madrid, negotiated in 1880, to attend an international conference to take steps to preserve the open door in Morocco and as the United States signed that convention it is invited to the new conference. Moreover it is intimated that President Roosevelt intends to send a representative to this conference, althongh by so doing be would run the risk of seriously offending both Great Britain and France, especially the latter. It will be remembered that France and Great Britain negotiated a treaty whereby the former guaranteed the open door in Morocco for thirty years and when the treaty bad been duly signed its contents were communicated to Germany. Immediately, or almost so, Emperor William made his plans to go to the Mediterranean and touch at Morocco. While there or soon after he had been there and as a supposed sequel to his visit the Sultan rejected the proposals of the French foreign Minister M. Delcasse. Now the Emperor calls an international conference to undo the work of France and Great Britian and do it over again along lines that will give Germany a hand in the affair. With all this the United States is, of course, little concerned, bat it is a matter of regret to conservative statesmen that the President should entangle this country in the affair. The plea on which the President will act will be the protection of the foreign trade interests of this country, but as the United States sold to Morocco during the "last fiscal year less than SI,OOO worth of goods the plea ta obviously somewhat specious. t t t Considerable interest is manifested in what is termed here the peaceful revolution of Norway against the rule of Sweden. The particular interest whioh attaohes in Washington being due to the fact that it has resulted in the return of Minister Grip who was popular in the national capital. Minister Grip is a Norweigian and will, it is supposed, resign from the diplomatic service of Sweden when he returns to the Swedish oapital. The ontoome of the revolution is also looked for

with interest especially as it seems possible that Norway may establish a republic following the lines of the United States, but it is hoped with some modern improvements. t t t Arrangements are practioally complete for the trip of Secretary Taft to the Philippines and it is regarded as noteworthy that few members of Congress of any particular standing, especially in the Republican party, will make the journey. There are a few prominent Democrats, but the leading Republicans in both houses of Congress are conspicuous by their absence. The reason of this is not easily explained, although it is said that the older men in both parties regard the trip as too expensive and arduous to permit of their undertaking it. t t t If the judgement of prominent Republicans is to be accepted the President has run up the white flag before the assaults of the “stand patters” and will not call Congress in special session next fall. The “stand patters” have been insisting that there would be no extra session for some time but recently Senator Hansbrough, after a long talk with the President came out and told the newspaper men that be believed that the “stand patters” had won the day. Senator Hansbrough is one of those Republicans who believes as did the President a short time ago, that the people are being robbed by those tariff schedules which require revision. Moreover, the Senator is standing by his colors but he is likely to have a hard time explaining to his constituents next campaign why the President did not do the same.

Miss Lessie Robinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pad Robinson, living six miles west of town, was bitten by a rattlesnake last Tuesday afternoon, on the first finger of the right hand while in the act of picking strawberries. Her parents brought her to town in very quick time where she soon received necessary treatment to put her life out of danger, although her arm had begun to swell rapidly. She is at present at the home of her uncle, J. E. Tillet, where she is getting along encouragingly.— Francesville Tribune.

A. D. Soott of Indianapolis was in the city Monday and sold a carload of Orr’s “Mastic” wood fiber wall plaster, to Hiram Day, which will be nsed on Murray’s new building. This plaster does away with sand, lime and hair, comes already prepared and only requires mixing with water to be ready for use. It is said to be cheaper than other plaster and is highly recommended by those who have used it. Among the recommends carried by Mr. Scott is one from S. 8. Tull, postmaster of Monon, who used some of the plaster last year.

A fair example of what a “dry” town will do versus a "wet” one was explained to us by a prominent merchant of Fowler last week. Said he: “Since the saloons have quit business here my cash sales have been nearly two hundred dollars a month more than formerly, and as to my bad accounts, that is total losses by trusting out goods, have been nearly sixty per cent less than in past years. This state of affairs I can only explain by the faot that many laboring people who spent nearly all of their earnings for liquor and buying the necessities of life on time, oannot now get the liquor and are paving cash for the “necessities.” All dry towns are telling the same story,Brook Reporter.
