Difficult Scriptures on Hell.

A little Book selling at only ten cents, postpaid, is having a very wide circulation—running up into the millions. It coutains some very startling Information respecting the meaning of the word Hell. It claims to demonstrate, both from the Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible, that Hell is NOT . a plate of eternal torment, but merely another name for the TOMB, the GRAVE, THE STATE OF DEATH., It affects td show that man was hot redeemed from a far-off place of eternal torture, but quotes the Scriptures proving that he was REDEEMED from the i GRAVE at the cost qf his Redeemer's LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope, b®th for the Church and the World, is a resurrection hope based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus. Tha book is certainly worth the reading. The information it furnishes is certainly valuable, far beyond its trifling cost Order it at once from the Bible and Tract Society, 17 Hicks street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

MORGAN RAPPED BY STANLEY REPORT

Roosevelt and Perkins Also Severely Criticized. ASK LAWS TO CURB TRUSTS Republican Members of Investigating Committee Find That U. S. Steel Corporation Has No Monopoly in This Country.

Washington, July 16. —Majority report of the Stanley committee which has been investigating the steel industry, will be made public Ln a few lays and will contain recommenda:ions for laws to curb the giant trusts if the Country. Chairman Stanley and his colleagues are holding daily conferences on the report and con:emplated. legislation.

Representative Young, ranking Republican member Of the committee, has prepared a minority report which he has submitted to the other Republican members. It in large measure, is a defense of the steel trust. It holds that the steel trust has nO monopoly of the steel business of the country or of the iron ore. " Recommend New Laws. Legislation recommended in the Stanley report will cover the following: The prohibition of ownership by one corporation in another corporation. Prohibition of holding corporations ’or Industrial concerns. Requiring industrial concerns to reinquish control of common carriers, ioth railroad and steamship lines, and •estricting them strictly to the operation of plant facility roads. Prohibiting monopolistic control hrough leases or ownership of ore Jodies or other raw material. Declaring illegal all friendly rate ind price agreements and meetings such as the Gary dinners. Colonel Roosevelt, J. Pierpont Morgan and George W. Perkins are criticized severely in the report for their connection with the purchase of the properties of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the steel trust, which purchase is condemned as illeg—l under the Sherman anti-trust law.

Morgan Severely Criticized. A separate chapter is devoted to the activities of Mr. Morgan in the. steel business before the steel trust was formed, and with reference to the organization of the steel trust. It tells how Mr. Morgan first got together a number of steel tube mills which an expert valued at $17,00b,000. Some of them were in bad financial shape, and a few showed large net earnings. Later when threatened with competition by John D. Rockefeller, these plants were thrown into the steel trust at a valuation of about $80,000,000. Following this criticism of the gathering in by Mr. Morgan of extensive profits there is a discussion In the report of the enormous sum paid Mr. Morgan for his services in the organization of the steel tryst and for his vtork as fiscal I agent in the conversion of early bonds of the organization. It is held that these excessive profits and charges were carried into the Steel corporation and were responsible'ln part for its excessive overcapitalization. There is caustic comment in the report on the fact that Mr. Morgan fled the country to escape the subpoena when he learned that the committee desired his testimony in connection with Its investigations Into the steel business and the part taken by Morgan in the absorption of the T. C. & T property. Mr. Morgan has not returned.

Roosevelt Is Arraigned. Colonel Roosevelt is arraigned for alleged violation of the law when he, as president, sanctioned the Steel Trust-Tennessee company transaction to oblige Morgan and Judge E. H. Gary. Mr. Perkins’ activities in political campaigns and his connections with political contributions is discussed. Regret Is expressed that a majority of lhe committee decided not to compel Mr. Perkins to disclose all he knew of contributions by the steel trust for political purposes, to whom they were given and for what purpose they were expended.

BRITISH PLEA IS DEFENDED

Senators Root and Burton Talk Against Granting American Ships Free Canal Tolls. Washington, July 16. —The advocates of the British of the Panama canal question unlimbered their big guns in the senate. For two hours Senators Roqt and Burton spoke against the American proposition to grant American ships the use of the canal free of tolls and argued that a law of this kind would be in violation of the terms and the spirit of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Questions asked during the discussion Indicated that Senators Cummins, Smoot, Townsend and Bristow favored free tolls and Senators Williams, McCumber, Bacon and Hoke Smith in addition to the two senators who spoke, favored an absolutely free waterway.

Girl, Pricked by Pin, Dies.

South Bend, Ind., July 16.—“0h, mamma, don’t prick me with that pin,” cried Treva Simmons, aged sixteen, of. Goshen, as her mother was helping dress her. The next instant the girl fell dead. Doctors say an artery of the heart was affected.

Advertising Talks

PERSISTENCE IS NECESSARY Merchant Must Advertise Twelve Months in Year to Forge Ahead of His Competitor. Thomas J. Balmer, dean of advertising men in' the United States, was the guest of the Denver Ad. club at luncheon at the Albany hotel the other day. He spoke on the "Past, Present and Future of Advertising.” , ;,"1 notice,” said Mr. Balmer in his introductory sentence, “that I am referred to as the ‘dean of advertising men.’ I want to say to you now that there never has and never will be a

■dean .o£~mdyertising men.’ Advertising is a business in which there is no room for a ‘dean.’ It is a profession in which everybody is constantly forging to the front. They are pressing forward so rapidly that no man can remain in the van long enough to be a captain. ■ Advertising is a difficult game. It has gone through more vicissitudes front its very beginning probably than any other profession. Those in it suffer because •of beliefs. Many merchants are skeptical; few have confidence in the efficiency of advertising and its ability to produce results. It is because men hate progress, not so much because of their antagonism to progress in itself, but because they have inertia. The man who doesn’t know his subject, is not up-to-date id his matter, is not fit to be in the profession. He is like the surgeon who performs a criminail operation —he is a drawback to the rest of the profession.

“Advertising to bring results must be persistent and be followed up. Sixty per cent, of the business failures recorded annually are due to the fact that the man advertised a little and falling to secure results, gave it up just when he should have put more money into it. “Statistics,” said Mr. Balmer .show that it is only the man who advertises 12 consecutive months who forges ahead of his competitors. You won’t find a physician allowing a patient to take merely one dose of a prescription. Why? He realizes that one dose will do no good. He insists Upon the pa*> tient taking the whole prescription or none at all. The same principle applies to advertising. v “If we look back through history we will find that every good and beautiful thing has at one time or another been under the ban. Advertising is just beginning to come into its own. Merchants are finally accepting the doctrine that is the most forceful and greatest medium of distribution the world knows.” v

Mr. Balmer made a strong plea for clean advertising. He said: “It Is the only kind of advertising that pays. It may not pay you at first but in the long run if you adhere to this principle you will win out over all competitors. Never accept an unclean ad. Honesty is always the best policy. If honesty didn’t pay people wouldn’t be honest. The unclean advertiser Is rapidly losing ground and If he doesn’t take warning now and bar fakes and fakers, the day Is coming when Uncle Sam will take a hand in the matter and force him to clean up.”

Holds Up Publicity MaximS.

George Frank Lord, a well-known advertising man, in a recent address on “The Cash Value of Educational Advertising,” lauded the dally newspaper as the best medium for the advertisement of commodities. “They obtain greater results and are cheaper,” he declared, “than circulars. “Don’t talk in bunches in ‘ad.’ writing. Don’t be too oratorical —keep down to the plane of writing as though addressing an individual. Too many ‘ad.’ writers imagine they are ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt addressing the mob. “There Is no line of business that cannot be advertised if It is done along the right line. "Find the distinctive quality of your goods and emphasize it concretely. “Common sense Is the requisite of the successful ‘ad.’ writer. “A two or three inch *ad.’ in a dally newspaper twice or thrice a week is often better than a whole page in a magazine.”

Political Advertising.

Politicians today more fully appreciate the value of newspaper advertising in winning votes or creating public sentiment than at any time in the history of the country. They have about concluded that the money that was formerly employed in barbecues, torchlight processions and numerous mass meetings can be more profitably employed in presenting the issues of the campaign and the claims of the candidates in brief, well-constructed articles in the advertising columns of the daily newspapers.—Editor and Publisher.

Stick to Truth.

Tell the truth about your goods, and beware of the man who suggests that you advertise them deceitfully. A shady reputation is a cloud that has no silver lining—ang it's mighty easy to’ get. And when a concern once gets it! "How often does your railroad kill a fnan?” asked the facetious drummer. “Just once,” replied the conductor.
