Citizen or Deserter? A Richmond citizen is the member of a self governing community which does things for itself; it has no king or monarch to do things for it. And its chief method of doing things for itself is the ballot. A man who neglects to vote throws away his citizenship. He sinks to the condition of subject with political boss for master instead of blue-blooded noble. Between the serf who clings to his chains and the citizen who submits to bossism there is no moral difference. How can there be self-government where men refuse to govern themselves? The slave must fight for his master; the citizen must fight for himself. The slave must fight the foreigner attacking from without; the citizen must fight the betrayer attacking from within. The king's slave fought the king's enemies; the citizen must fight the pandering politician, the political buccaneer, and the grafting boss. The king's slave fights with swords and bullets ; the citizen fights with ballots. The citizen who is too lazy to fire ballots at the public enemy is a deserter. And all nations handle deserters in a short, sharp way. The enemies of citizenship are bossism, incompetency, official secrecy and machine control. These are as dangerous to Richmond as the barbarians were to Rome. This self governing community must put an end to them or they will put an end to it. The boss works while the citizen sleeps. Public indifference gives him his opportunity When every man becomes a vigilante, political pirates will disappear. When every man becomes a politician, bossism will topple down. It is the indifference of the citizen which makes political boodling possible. The negligent citizen is "accessory before the fact." The people of Richmond have an opportunity tomorrow to. fire a broadside into machine control. Issues are clearly drawn. There need be no guess work. Efficiency or inefficiency; that is the question.

If this invention can do so much it will certainly be equally able to discharge a cannon as far distant. It has even done so, if we may trust our sources of information, and already proved itself a reliable instrument for regular use. With such a device an army would be able to discharge the artillery of the enemy and so demoralize the most carefully equipped and handled regiments. Ammunition itself could be made to let go and so destroy the very men in possession of it! If the Schenectady inventor's machine becomes common property among armed powers it will go far to revolutionize war. More than that, it will even make war impossible. And that, in all probability, is the only way it can be ended, at least in this age. To reduce it to absurdity in fact as well as in logic would accomplish more than a score of Mohonk Conferences or Hague Tribunals.

THE SEA

Rats! In this age of conservation when fortunes are made from saw-dust heaps, battle-ships lined with sun-flower fiber, and acres fertilized with sea kelp, we are prepared to learn it is time we were using our conservation philosophy on the rat. There are more rats in the land, it seems, than a first thought might incline us to believe. One government authority has calculated their number at about 250,000,000. If we had 100,000,000 population, which we haven't quite, each and every man, woman and child might have a bodyguard of two and a half rats. This huge immigration of rodents hasn't been making as much noise as Attila's Huns, but it has been doing business, just the same. The Department of Agriculture has estimated an annual loss in grain alone of at least $100,000,000 from thj$h one source. According to this every familyin the land pays a grain-tax to his rathood of about $5 a year. If this same sum were invested in well trained hens, gifted in laying the eggs that taste so much like money, an annual income of $360,000,000 might be realized. All this, according to Uncle Sam's Department of Agriculture, presided over by our good friend, David F. Houston. But now along come the health authorities who argue that the real danger from the rat is contagious diseases. At this very moment, Seattle, Wash., is quite concerned because a few bubonic-plague-infected rate have been discovered on her water front. So greatly excited were the north-westerners they even demolished a building in which some of these rodents chanced to bunk for a night. And rats may carry other diseases, as well, assert these same persons. His warm fur, his habits, and especially his diet, equip him as an ideal disease and pest carrying vehicle. As to the proper method of extermination, the expert first cited has a reasonable suggestion to offer: "Concrete floors and foundation walls and supports of the same material or of solid

Unless Webster, in the mind of Mr. Iliff, is no authority, the word personality is defined as: "Application of remarks, usually offensive, to some individual." Presumably Mr. Iliff serves as his own lexicographer and has relegated Webster and other lexicologists to the obsolete cellar as back numbers and of no authority. The only charge Mr. Iliff can bring against the candidacy of Mr. Robbins Is the fact that he was born and reared at Abington. Mr. Iliff!

Master Salesmee

There are nine men in this office whose salaries aggregate $227,000 per year. Those are pay-rol! salaries, paid month by month not the profits of ownership. A dozen others are highly-paid men. Our total pay-roll exceeds $40,000 per month. This seems the only way to give you in print any fair gauge of their calibre. Just Salesmen These men are just highlytrained, masterly salesmen. They devote their whole time to selling goods for our clients. They expend about six million dollars per year on printed salesmanship. Their sales exceed, probably, $150,000,000 per year. They carry tremendous responsibilities, and are paid in accordance with them. They meet in print tens of millions of buyers. The sales of hundreds of products depend on their ability. There are very few men whom one dares trust with such vast undertakings. So these rare men stand today among the most highly paid men in business. Our Business Is to Get Them Our success and efficiency lie in getting these men, in training and developing. We pay more than most adver

tisers can afford for such service. Then, through our commissions, the expense is divided. We supply experience such as no single business can offer. Here these men deal with the selling problems of hundreds of big concerns. And here, above all, they work in co-operation. They aid each other mass their ideas. From three to ten of these men combine their abilities on every undertaking. There lies the vital value of an Advertising Agency. All else is merely routine. The rare thing, and the all-important, is compelling salesmanship-in-print. Beyond the product itself, ninety-nine per cent of an advertising c-jccess lies in the salesmanship. What They Do These men are not mere writers. One is simply a scheme man, who works out countless clever ways to get quick introduction. One's an expert in merchandising. He aids distribution gets dealers on our clients' side. One, who never writes copy, knows human nature well. His word U almost final on the best forms of appeal. One is known as "the wizard of mail order advertising," but attempts almost nothing else. One is an artist C. Everett Johnson selected by us after years of searching as the leader of all in Commercial Art.

And one is Claude C. Hopkins, who, for 23 years and in scores of lines, has broken all records in writing copy that sells. Our success comes in combining these talents according to the client's needs. The Wonderful Results Our clients themselves will gladly tell you what these men have done. For this part of our story we shall refer you to them. Among them are numbered some of the largest concerns, some of the ablest men in business. They will tell you how sales have doubled over and over. How investments have multiplied in value. They will tell you how small ad

vertising expenditures have grown

o hundreds of thousands.

And scores ' will acknowledge that they never could have done what has been done, without us. The Crux of the Agency Question Among the best Agencies commissions are similar. One service costs about the same as another. The whole question centers on,' Who can sell most for the money? And that is best decided by the men and their records. Advertising success, like all commercial success, lies In getting right men behind you. We claim in this line to have the ablest corps that was ever brought together. We solicit a chance to prove it.
