Oaly ta Bssrss tJ la Its tepers H Of Interest' to The Business Men If you had a salesman who was goilng to talk to five, ten or a hundred ! thousand prospective purchasers, I would you select the poorest talker 1 and dress him up as shabbily and i cheaply as possible, or would you get the best salesman you had and spare no expense in coaching him up, giving him all the arguments you could, ao that he would make the best impression? It is the same with advertislng. ,. It you are paying a printer a large amount for printing your, booklet, or folder or a newspaper or magazine for space, why not be sure that your advertisement is . going to be seen and is going to make the right kind of Impression. A picture can't be too attractive .. or type matter and arguments too strong, when you are paying a large amount for space or printing. Probably the most important thing about the advertisement is the pictures, and in the use of these, it should be borne In , mind always to make It illustrate the idea as strongly as possible. The picture. in a great many cases Is the first impression a buyer has of your business, or product, and first Impressions art always, the strongest 8o it is most important that you tie up your reading matter with a good ' picture, which; will : not only attract but make strong the argument. The picture should tell as much of the story as possible. ', On this subject we would quote from Mr, Arthjir Brisbane, who said: "Remember, . in preparing your r advertisement, that you must find a way Into the mind of a man as a burglar finds his way inside a bouse. ,., You must go through the open avenues of entrance; there is no use trying to go through a brick wall, and a confused, pretentious : long drawn out, literary style simply means an effort on your part to feel your way into a man's mind through a brick wall. Try first for his eye.; Any thought presented to the eye will be taken in readily. In one political warfare one striking cartoon is worth a thousand columns of solemn editorial." -v'v The first impressions should be so . attractive and striking that the recipient will not fail to lopk inside. The main thing ' in advertising is to get the reader started to read the ad. It Is like a salesman , who approaches a prospective customer. The main thing Is to get his approach so strong, his remarks should be so impressive, that the prospective customer will investi gate,, and so it is with the picture. 'It's - object should be to first stimulate the imagination of the reader suf ficiently, so that he will start to read the copy. After he has started to read the copy It is up to the copy writer to give good, strong arguments, to hold and convince him, and a good, strong appeal at the close, to bring the return In the shape of an inquiry or an investigation. In your printed matter choose the word that most readily enters the brain of your reader, and type most comfortable to the eye. Items Gathered in From Far and Near A Few Words to Fools.

What About the Jail? Wo understand that the Board of County Commissioners Is considerlag the expenditure of shout 119,000 or $20,000 for voting msfiMnes. What shout the Jail? We hare had 'the impression that the County Commissioners when urged to remodel the jail and bring it up to modern and present requirements hare stated that the county had not the money necessary to do this. ; - . . , . ; It would appear that if the "county has not enough money to put, the jail in the condition in which It should be. that it has not enough money to expend in experimenting with voting machines. As far as the management of the jail is concerned it seems to be In as good condition as any management could make it. It is clean. It is orderly, in every, particular which is apparent to the visitor. Altogether the management of Mr. Linus Meredith in his capacity of sheriff seems : to be satisfactory. But that, we take it, is not wha the Wayne county jail should be. This is 1909. v ,

Go down and look for yourself. This is what you will find. Poor ventilation. Poor provision for the insane. No workhouse.

' Jails may or may not be intended as palaces of delight But if the theory of locking up men is that of reformation and the turning them Into useful citizens, the community then owes the men who are locked up, conditions in the jail which are healthful. ' The jail proper is an extremely ill ventilated place and with the presence of many prisoners breathing and rebreathing the air 'constantly, day and night, cannot help but be insanitary. In summer time the jail is close and stuffy, even with the feeble and pitiful little traces of fresh air which filter in through the narrow silts of windows high up in the jail. The conditions must be far worse in the winter time when the windows are closed. And their closure must be Imperative in winter on account of the insufficient heating apparatus of the Jail. We are informed that this will be changed this winter but it Is by no means certain as yet how satisfactory the heating improvements installed will be.

The capacity of Easthaven is so limited that the county Jail is almost always with some inmate who properly belongs in some place . where he can have the proper treatment. These persons should have better quarters than the ill ventilated jail. The Insane man is a sick man and as such needs healthful quarters. Beside this the effect of a madman constantly chattering and laughing, pounding at the bars and making day and night hideous with his maniacal delusions is not without Its effect on the other prisoners. Jail life is demoralizing enough without the sordid, grewsome companionship of a madman. The conditions of this sort lead to that frame of mind which is the root of the evil of the trouble that lead many astray when released. That is the mental attitude of irresponsibility. "I don't care.";' ?;'; '; r ' ' : The society which , fosters this in its members who are supposed to be in the process of reformation is sowing evil which it will reap.

There can be no doubt that we need a modern workhouse a place where the county can get something out of its prisoners a place where they can have their time occupied instead of sitting and lying around in sloth. By this we do not mean putting prison labor in competition with the work of industrious and sober workmen. But with all the. work which needs to be done on the highways of the county there is no reason why a work house which would keep the men in the jail in good physical condition by breaking stone, etc., would not be a boon to the county. This would eliminate the housing of hoboes who want a winters lodging. And this will help pay for the workhouse Itself. ' ,

As we asked before. .What about the jail? tlve Taylor of Ohio rre in quest of s rule to check abuse of Vleave to print" In the Congressional Record. We wish them luck without expecting to see them succeed. A lion at home, the average congressman is but a rabbit in Washington, and a new senator does not seem much larger. It they secure , the floor nobody listens to them. Consequently,' they dodge a mortifying ordeal, and for the benefit of constituents get "leave to print" To this class of novices must be added those who can neither write a good speech nor deliver one decently. What their secretaries laboriously prepare they get "leave to print" There are also the lasy, who dread, the physical exertion of speaking. ' They get leave to print" Military Aeroplanes, From the Baltimore American. The possession of a Wright aeroplane by the government is , but the beginning of activity in attaining the highest possibilities of aerial navigation. The daring army officers will quickly de termine the utility of the aeroplane for purposes of war, and If it seems advisable to have a fleet of such machines for aerial warfare the govern ment will not be slow to act. Other nations have been, perhaps, a little more active In the earlier experimen tal stages, but American ingenuity will quickly outstrip any advantage that may have been gained. Hopeful. , From the Houston Post We be lieve it can be safely said that the LI D. epidemic which was so prevalent in June is now under control. Take Notice. From the Milwaukee News. Some day the west may surprise Mr. Aldrich and New England and vote the way it talks. Pragmatic Pantheism. From the New York Times. We fear no martyr will ever give his blood as the seed of Dr. Eliot's new religion church It hardly is. Yet all the world's great religions, the religions that have lived and influenced the minds and i the conduct of . men, have had their martyrs. ; A religion of the common good, of the brotherhood

neighbor is beautiful, but as Dr. Eliot formulates his creed, it falls somehow to take bold on the imagination, and in a purely intellectualistic soil no re ligion can strike its roots deep enough to find the water of life. TWINKLES (BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.) Negative Fitness. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is a reformer?" ' in numerous cases, my son, a re former is a man who considers him self peculiarly qualified to hold office because of his professional inexperi ence." The Anti-Speed Argument. "Was that a novel your messenger boy was reading?" ''Worse than that" answered the man in charge of the office: "It was the fable of the hare and the tortoise A Case for Vociferation. Speak gently, as the poet taught; Ne'er lift, ft, voice with harshness fraught .j If thus you do.-the chances are . You'll find that 'you have missed your car. Kind Consideration. "If you would save what you pay for cigars and cigarettes you would have s snug sum at the end of a year. -very true," answered the thriftless man, "But think bow mr children would suffer for the want of gilt bands and coupons." "Energy wifout judgment.' said Uncle Eben, "won't git you whah you's gw'ine any mo' dan stahtin" a engine on de wrong track an' crowdin' on steam. Here and There. Familiar places seem not fair. When I am "here," I'd fain be "there For "here" is life's dull" toilsome lot While "there" is a mysterious snot Which hope adorns with every grace. In that tar. fascinating; place The pleasures all unhindered dwell.

SEVERE PEIIftLTY MAY BE IMPOSED Child Desertion Recognized by Statutes as Most Serious Crime of Its Kind. ELLIOTT CASE IS A TEST NOT PROBABLE LAW WILL BE EN FORCED IF SETTLEMENT 18 MADE BY OFFENDER' FOR CHILDREN'S SUPPORT. - The penalty imposed by. the Indians statutesaccording to the acts of 1907 for child desertion, an offense of which this county has one example that of the failure of Raymond Elliott to pro vide for his two small children is a very severe bne. The offense is regarded as a felony and so defined by the acts. The punishment to be imposed upon conviction is not more than sev en years in the state reformatory or not less than three months nor more than one year in the : county jail at hard labor. However, it is not probable that the Wayne county authorities will make an example of young Elliott. ' He was arraigned In circuit court yesterday morning and announced a willingness to make some settlement whereby he would pay weekly a certain portion of his wages for the support of bis chll dren. His case, unless settled out of court, will be tried soon. During the Interim he is confined at the county jail as his parents do not wish to go on his bail, his attorney explaining to the court that they did not under stand the purpose of the bond. Young Elliott was married to Blanche Darland, a high school gradu ate, a few years ago. Two children were born to them when differences came between the two, and the wife, according to attorneys interested in the case, went to live with her parents north of the city. She took the chll-1 dren with her. At this juncture Elli ott refused to support them and was arrested a few weeks ago for child desertion. State Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman, who represents the Interest of the children, says that there is no disposition on his part or that of Prosecutor Charles Ladd, to Impose as severe a penalty as the law provides. They will be satisfied if Elliott supports his children, which Mr. Kirkman stAtes that Elliott has agreed to do. It is probably that Mr. Kirkman will enter an account in a local banking -institution to the credit of the children and Elliott ordered to pay a certain amount each week at the institution. In discussing Indiana's child deser tion law, Mr. Kirkman stated that it was one of the best laws of its nature in the United States and that few states have similar laws, which equal it However, prosecution under the provisions of the act has been very lax, whether because the law is not familiar to many prosecutors or not. Mr. Kirkman docs not. know. Mr. Kirk man was a state senatoPshe time of the passage of the law and was one of those most eager for its passage, As a Last Resort . The new minister, of a small town in Inverness-shlre was walking home from morning sen-ice recently when he chanced to overtake one of his parishioners, an old shoemaker. "Good morning, Mr. Bain," said the minister. "How is it your good wife is not out today?" "She's no' but poorly," was the reply. "It's nae wink of sleep she's bad for the last three ulchts." The minister was sorry to hear such a poor account of Mrs. Bain's health and expressed a wish for a speedy Improvement "I'm thinking if she could get a guld sleep," said the shoemaker, "she'd soon be on the mend. Maybe if ye're passing the noose tomorrow ye'U no object to ca In an' just give her frae 'lastly to the end of your discoorse this morning. I'm no' saying It wadna -be very helpful."
