AN INVESTIGATION Yesterday the Associated Advertising clubs of America assembled in Omaha, Nebraska. John Lee Mahln who is a Great Ad Man voiced the feeling of the business men of this country In his resolutions protesting against the slur cast on advertising by a committee Of the United States Senate. Many of us have an idea why the blame ot the High Cost ot Living was laid at the door ot the Newspapers and Magazines. They have fought tbe battles of the people against the forces which have made unnatural Increases in the high cost of living but as far as tbe logic of the affair is concerned Mahln has laid out the Feeble Farceurs of the Little Comedy down in Washington.

Here is the resolution: . WHEREAS: A committee of the United States Senate having made an Investigation of the causes ot the increased cost of living, and having Incorporated in its report of said Investigation a statement to the effect that advertising Is to blame for a part of said Increase in the cost of living; and WHEREAS: Advertising Is the life blood of business: and WHEREAS: The volume of advertising is a barometer Indication of the prosperity of the country: and WHEREAS: Advertised commodities are acknowledged to be standards ot quality; and WHEREAS: Tbe history of advertised articles shows one, or all, ot three things: Lower price, betterment of quality or improvement of service; and WHEREAS: The improved standard of living in the United States of America is directly traceable to the Increased distribution of highgade food, clothing, furniture and other necessities of life: and WHEREAS: Because of the volume of advertising they carry the newspapers, magazines and other periodicals are enabled to give to their readers many times the value ot the money spent for subscription in the class and character of reading matter provided, as well as in the quantity thereof; and WHEREAS: Advertising creates a greater demand for an article, and by reason of that greater demand greater facilities are required for Its production, and greater producing and distributing facilities Invariably lower the cost of manufacture and through that fact lower the cost and Increase the service to the consumer; and WHEREAS: The development of the commerce of this country depends upon advertising to an enormous degree, and consequently the wage of the laborer and the profit of the dealer are directly dependent upon advertising; and ' WHEREAS: The expense of advertising any commodity of general sale Is absorbed unconsciously in the greater volume of profits from an Increased sale even at a reduced price, therefore BE IT RESOLVED By the Association ot Advertising Clubs In convention assembled: That we deny and deprecate the misleading and unfounded allegation of the Comlmttee of the Senate ot the United States that advertising is in any manner responsible for the Increased cost ot living, and, fuether , BE IT RESOLVED: That we hereby earnestly request the Congress of the United States In either or both of its branches to appoint a committee or a joint committee to Investigate thoroughly and conscientiously the development, growth and purpose of advertising in all its aspects, with especial regard to the cost thereof and to the manner In which said cost may or may not attest the price of the commodity advertised. And be It further RESOLVED: That we regard such an Investigation as imperatively necessary In view of the stigma which said report of the Senate Committer, has placed upon advertising, and that the knowledge, experience and facilities of each and all members of this association will be placed at the service of such committee or joint committee on request

WANT ENGINEERS

TO GO ON STRIKE f Men Already Out Succeed in This, Grand Trunk Will Be Crippled. TRAINS RUN HOURS LATE BUT THE CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES MAIL8 ARE BEING SENT CLOSE ON SCHEDULE SHOPS SHUT DOWN. (American News Service) Boston, July 20. Every effort of the trainmen's leaders on the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont is being directed toward getting the aid of the engineers. If this is accomplished, a tremen dous blow will have been dealt the railroad. What success tbe strikers' officials are having with the engineers chief officers is carefully concealed. Everything, the strike officers say, is going their way so far. The strike has been more complete than they had hoped and its extension is just along the lines they have been working for, Today every effort of the local offi cers of the Grand Trunk is being di rected to keeping passenger trains moving. So far most of the regular passenger trains have been running behind time, some of them as many as five and six hours behind. Keep 'Mails Moving. The Canadian and United States mails have been kept moving on as close a schedule as possible. In some instances freight and passenger trains were bitched together and hauled by a single crew for the company is hard pressed for men capable of running trains. In order to get crews half way fitted for handling trains it has been neces sary to close the railroad shops at various points where old railroaders are employed. This move has given the company several old but experienced trainmen who are scattered among the crews of green strikebreak ers. . The Massachusetts railroad commission stopped one train because it was not properly manned.. ' The night mail from New London, Conn., was stopped at the state line by the commissioners when they found that it did not have a crew in conformity with the law. Strike sympathizers are posted at ev ery point along the line and the slight est infringement or evasion of the law on the part of the company is prompt ly reported to the authorities. NO FREIGHT MOVED. Detroit, July 20. Not a pound of freight is being moved over the Grand Trunk railway system at result of the trainmen's strike. Reports from Toronto, Buffalo, Montreal and Chicago indicate that the loss from perishable freight and hindrance to the moving of crops is already assuming enormous proportions. Passenger service is not badly hampered. Three hun dred employes of the Wabash railroad, which leases tracks from tbe Grand Trunk system, from Detroit to Buffalo, through Canada, went on strike this morning. Strikers continue peaceable at all points, but persuasive arguments are being effectively used to prevent new men from taking their former runs.

ROOSEVELT SEES

CHOICE OF TAFT Ex-president sizes up Kinkade of Ohio, but Makes No Promises. DELIGHTED TO MEET HIM AND REMEMBERED HE HAD SENT SOME ICE TRUST MAGNATES TO THE PEN, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY COMMENT. New York, July 20. Theodore Roosevelt found a stranger waiting tor him when he arrived at his editorial sanctum in the Outlook building on Fourth avenue yesterday. The visitor was a man 50 ar 53 years old, rather solidly put up, with a gray beard closely trimmed, and altogeth er bearing a striking resemblance to the individual whom the "sparrow cops" saw alight from tbe Tart auto mobile in the suburbs of Boston on Sunday afternoon and disappear in the shrdubbery. One guess, curious reader, as to his identity. No, it was not Carmi Thompson, who was accused in Columbus of having gone to see the Colonel, nor was he the man who struck Billy Patterson; neither was he Dr. Crippen, whom Scotland Yard has asked the local authorities to apprehend. Discovered at Last. Kinkade was the man, Reynolds R., circuit judge at Toledo, O., who ex pects to be nominated for governor by the republican state convention in Columbus next Wednesday. Colonel Roosevelt," he began, "I am Judge Kinkade, and I have a letter to you from President Taft, which it would give me pleasure to present." "Delighted to meet you," , was the quick remark of the nimble minded ex-president, and then he added quickly, "And always glad to hear from the president." , ' Tbe Colonel read the missive bear ing the White House imprint with evi dent Interest It was not verbose and the next minute turned his penetrating blue-gray spectacled eyes upon his caller. The judge seemed a little nervous. but went through the inspection without sustaining any broken bones! Fixing his keen glance upon his visitor, Bwana Tumbo" remarked: "So you are Judge Kinkade, who, the president thinks possesses the qualities of the man who ought to be nominated for governor by the republicans of Ohio this year?" What the Colonel Understood. . The judge bowed deferentially, and said something which the colonel understood as "I am the feller." 'You sent some Ice Trust magnates to jail, did you not? Inquired Mr. Roosevelt, in his nervous, energetic way, and once more he heard a reply which sounded like "I am the feller." Good! Now. tell -me about the Oh jo situation," suggested Colonel Roosevelt. Kinkade thereupon reviewed conditions in the Buckeye state, and related also the story of his conference with President Taft at Beverly Sunday and of his Interview with Senator Theodore Burton in Boston yesterday morning, and later in the day with Senator Burton, Senator Charles Dick and Executive Chairman Wade H. Ellis..: GRANTED A DIVORCE On the grounds of abandonment and failure to provide Ethel Bradfield was granted a divorce from Everett C.
