CANNON SHAKES
CONSERVATION
LEADER'S HAND
"I Talk Better When Some One
Expectorates in My Face,"
Says Speaker
Gifford Pinchot Declares New
School of Politics Is Bound
to Come
ests is now impossible and the future is
now. safe agrainst the oppression of
monopoly.
TO MAKE FOR BETTER RACE
"The fundamental idea of conserva
tion Is to make of this country a bet
ter home for the race and to make the
race a better one in that home. The
nation should think about its marvel
ous riches. Conservation does not
mean to stop development, but so to j
up* the .country's natural resources
that the people who come after us may
also enjoy them.
"I believe a new school of politics is
\u25a0 --\u25a0 • _
coming in the T'nite.l States. This new
school will deride whether th^ country
\u25a0hall be >rov«»rned by money for profit
or by men for human welfare. I made
« speech in St. Paul recently, and in
connection with that psoech somebody
mentioned the possibility of the organ
ization of a new party.
"Cannon's reference to me in that i
< onn<=>ction doubtless is due to his hav
ing: read some headlines at that time.
The essential questions before the peo
\u25a0p\f now are outside of party lines. In
looking over the names of those 'who
voted for th<» Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
I am led to believe that regular repub
licans and regular democrats are the
same.
"I am a republican, and I do not be
liove in the necessity of a third party
at this time. And there wont' be any.
"I am not a Cannon republican, nor
an Aldrich republican, but I am a Dol
livpr. Cummins. Beveridge. La Follette.
Murdock. Xorris, Stubbs republican and
like to he counted among that kind of
cattle.
•1 am on my way to speak for an
insurgent candidate for congress, in
California. This is my first appearance
in politic?.
STANDING I'AT XOT FOR HIM
"Mr. Cannon said that a. party can
not stand on one issue. Well. I know
that the p^opl" ' wrill never become ei
trmsiastie on the one proposition of
standing pat. I want to be counted
with the men who go ahead.
"I have an exceedingly kind feeling
for the speaker. The old man In his
fight with Murdock and the other in-
Furgents stood for an obsolete tradition,
but he was manly about it. His cour
age made him great while fighting for
a proposition in which I think he was
mistaken. It is a bad thing when men
-who have done their work must stand
aside and give the leadac£hip to others.
But this has ever been the history of
progress.
\u25a0 "I think I am as good a republican as
Mr. Cannon." %
"But some of us are democrats!"
shouted some one in the audience.
"I am glad you said that," answered
Pinchot. "For the ideals of public
•spirited democrats are exactly the same
as the Ideals of public spirited repub
licans. We must all work together to
put the special interests out of poli
tics.
"The speaker mentioned Major Pow
ell.- He was a great man. Frederick
H. Newell is the Fame kind of a man.
1 consider Mr. Newell the best officer
now In the federal service at
' ington.
.TRIBUTE TO VOU.NG HEX
\u25a0 "The greatest tribute ever siven Mr.
Roosevelt was that of an English
.writer, who said that when president
\u25a0Of the United States Roosevelt sur
rounded himself with the most effective.
'.the mont enthusiastic company, of
young men ever engaged in carrying
forward the executive duties of any i
government.*" ,; ;. . j
Patronage Cut Off
' O LATHE. Kan., July 15. — For the first
time since he returned to Kansas
United States Senator Joseph L. Bris
tow in a speech here tonight referred
to the fact that he has been cut off
without patronage by the president.
" "It is disagreeable," he said, "to be
ostracised from political recognition for
opinion's sake, but when I know that I
am standing for the interests of the
people who chose me to represent them.
I certainly accept the ostracism and
have no apologrles to make for the
votes cast. •
"The progressive republicans are con
tending for the honest fulfillment of the
pledges we made in the campaign. We
submitted the case to the people of
Kansas for their decision and we have
Rh abiding faith In a triumphant vic
tory.
"Kflnsas is not reactionary. "It is pro
jrressive. Kansas will not consent to
be classed with Rhod«» Island and Penn
sylvania as machine ridden states that
obeyed the dictates of financial organi
sations that are in politics for plunder."
Advertising Talks
/j-_«ZrT Some advertisers who have made successes "let up" on
I \\\\vt advertising because they think they have the business
uMlljltf^li anc^ can a l wa y s keep it ..
Ym^L Never was there a greater mistake, and wise mer-
t /J^BS/*— • chants know it
The more successful their advertising is the more they advertise. :
They know that advertising helped them to climb to the top of the
ladder, and they know, too, that advertising will keep them there.
They look back along the long, hard climb to success and will, not
take any chances of losing the fruits of the struggle. . '
„ It is a mighty easy thing for a merchant to lose his business.
Stop your advertising and business will drop away so fast that you
will wonder what has happened. •
Once gained, it isn't hard to keep the .custom of the people by
persistent, truthful advertising. .*
People who buy your goods expect you. to advertise regularly. ,
Good advertising is news — your advertising is special. news to. your
customers. • s ""V
Mr. Advertiser, if you think your business is so prosperous that you
can discontinue your advertising, think again! , .
Do not lose all the ground it has taken so much hard work to gain.,
Keep everlastingly at it— eternal vigilance, eternal work, eternal
advertising is the price of success. ;
Mr. Merchant, you are not .an advertiser— had you not better
become one? You will have to begin sometime, why not now?
The advertising columns of The Call .will carry your store news to
150,000 readers every day. ..-.'. \ jjjfflN
I am at your command for suggestions and a service of copy; and:
illustrations which will help to make your advertising a success.

FINAL BATTLE
IS BEGUN FOR
BIG EXPOSITION
San Francisco Prepares to Fire
Publicity Broadside That
Will Awaken World
Literature of Every Description
Boosting City Will Be Scat=
tered Over Globe \u25a0
The Panama-Pacific exposition com
pany has begun its final and decisive
campaign to bring to San Francisco the
1913 fair. Soon pamphlets, San Fran
cisco postcards ajid all sorts of litera- i
ture setting forth the advantages of
this city and state will be .rushing off
the presses and will be scattered broad
cast over the country.
The publicity committee of the expo
sition company held a conference of
nearly two hours yesterday afternoon,
settling upon the final details and dis
cussing some 20 or more. schemes for'
advertising the city." t
First v e^-ery person in the United
States will hav«* brought "to his atten
tion, through the exposition literature,
the fact that San Francisco is in the
race to win; that it has the money, the
natural advantages, the people and the'
disposition to conduct the most success
ful exposition ever held in America.
WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW
Through tliis campaign of publicity,
which will extend personally to every
senator and congressman in the coun
try, will be inculcated a thorough
knowledge of San Francisco's earnest
ness and integrity. The whole., world
will know of it and: naturally when
senators and congressmen gather i at
Washington ' next December to decide
the exposition problem among their
other matters of national importance
the city by the Golden gate will be se
lected.
Congressmen can not withstand the
influence of popular opinion. . San
Francisco many years ago won the
affections of the world and has retained
them. By arousing the people to its
support it is the belief of the publicity
committee this city can not fall.
For the present every person in San
Francisco or in the state is urged to
begin sending postcards advertising
this city to every friend east of the
Rockies. The exposition. committee ex
pects soon to have characteristic expo
sition postcards printed and these will
be sent over the world. Plans are also
being considered to set apart a certain
week during the summer as "postcard
\u25a0week." during which tons of this ad
vertising matter will be sent from Cali
fornia.
EXPOSITIOX STICKERS
Exposition stickers will soon be fur
nished to be placed upon envelopes and
letter paper. These are to be attached
to' every personal or business letter
that goes out of San Francisco until
the exposition site is determined by
congress, and even then they will con
tinue* in use until the exposition- is
actually over and a thing of the' past. |
At present the publicity committee
is endeavoring to get a suitable; design
for a crest. Many have been submitted,
but all have been found unsatisfactory.
vArtists are being urged_to aid the com
mittee by .submitting "designs. "The
crest is for use on exposition litera
ture and for use also on-letter heads
of business houses. Every business
Tiouse in the city ; probably will be
'asked to have the crest placed by the
printer upon a corner of the stationery
that leaves its office. . . .
Until a suitable design is. chosen the
committee will use on Us ' stationery
a facsimile of the smaller 1915 button.
The method decided upon to bring
into the treasury the remaining funds
necessary to make the total of $7,500,
000 demanded by congress has not yet
been made public, but it is understood
that the campaign for money will be a
whirlwind one and will cover the state.
But little difficulty is expected in gath
ering in the money needed once the
campaign begins.
EAST IS FRIENDLY
The general feeling of friendliness
toward San Francisco is epitomized in
the statement of- a Chicago merchant
to O. C. Stine of the real estate firm of
Stine & Kendrick.
"If I wanted to" take a trip for a rest,
a. change of climate and a. good time,"
said this Chicago merchant, "I would
certainly go to California. San Fran
cisco offers opportunities for all of
these, and I certainly think, for that
reason If not for any other, although
there are others,' San Francisco is the
best site for a successful world's fair."
Stine has just ; returned from two
months spent in the east, and says that
New Orleans is in much disfavor there.
"During my stay in New York I
talked with a great many business and
professional men," he; said,- "and al
though New Orleans seems to have a
great deal of political j strength San
Francisco is spoken of invariably as
the ideal location for the exposition.

"CAT COUNT" MAKES LIFE
OF POLICE UNBEARABLE
Wrecks Sofa, Pays, for It, and
Rides Away on It
All .Europe", is laughing at the latest
escapade of. Count Gasta Hamilton,
\ known .as "le comte dcs chats — the
cat count," and a member of the.Eng
lish ducal house of Hamilton. The
story of his latest prank is told in
European. newspapers. > •
Count Gasta and some of his cronies
had honored "Roseribad," a popular^re
sort in Stockholm, with their patron
age, and as a result some of the-fur
niture had' been broken. In particu
lar, the covering of a. fine sofa had been
ripped and damaged, says the Chicago
Tribune. The manager of the resort
remonstrated with the. count and sug
gested, the. advisability of the; latter's
paying for^the damage. .This thecount
agreed to do, : and; virtually purchased
the, piece of furniture, receiving a rer
ceipt from the manager., '
\u25a0In a short t|me'^ singular procession
was seen by night revelers in. the park,
wending 'its -way J from- the main res
taurant to-the public road. Four sturdy
.messengers carried Wa sofa, -oiu which ;
reclined, the count" and his companions, |
provided, with .napkins \u25a0'\u25a0 tied- to : their
canes. Amid cheers the*"procession: left
the grounds. It had not proceeded far
before a night policeman halted the
paraders and demanded an explanation.
The count said he was on his way home
and, had bought the sofa.. and that it
was his property. . ;. '. ; ' :
"The officer probably-thought the'
question.of propriety too important for !
him : to- decide and .- escorted the' pris
oners, including the sofa,* into the pres
ence of the precinct captain. The count
told his story and presented his receipt
for; the; sofa's purchase. The- captain
verified these statements by telephon- \
ing to the restaurant proprietor and
advised his unwilling guests- to go
home. , - ; "• '. '> , -
; In less than an hour'the captain. was
astonished to have the. sofa . and its
retinue '.of attendants^; brought before
him by. another officer. ~ ; The party, was
released. a second time. The incident
was repeated three times, and the.cap
tain was beconiing: a' fit' subject for
the mad house/when* he had* a brilliant
idea. Four officers were ordered to
march with the count,: the sofa and n the
party ,to escort them home. . " " ;
Slowly the procession- moved toward
tlie -shore."-. WhenaMandinpr place was
reached the count and his friends made
a jump . for /the: bridge, where'a motor
launch was in waiting: Amid'the cheers
of the' crowd the 'launch sped- away,
leaving? the-' officers to-carry the sofa
wearily, back to the station. , , .
•. . Count 7 Gasta's nickname,.^ ."the -\u25a0 cat
count," was acquired as' the' result, of
an incident in "Paris somo : years •: ago,
when, as the result Sof & wager, he

HOME INDUSTRY
MOVEMENT SPREADS
Thirty-three Membership Appli
cations Received at Lunch*
.eon Tin Palace Hotel V ,
Revival of Yearly Fairs and
Erection of Municipal Au
ditorium Is Urged
.Thirty-three new applications for
membership were received yesterday by
the secretary/ of the Home . Industry
league at - a luncheon' given at the \ Pal
ace hotel. Although the "league Is
hardly iy organized ,in its 'several
branches, the , manufacturers and pro
ducers-of the community have shown
such : interest in the movement to boost
home products that it' is expected in a
short- time: the enrollment will num
ber, more than 1,000 members.
Samuel P.;. Johnston, opened the dis
cusslon^concerning local exhibitions of
home products. He strongly advocated
the revival of the fairs formerly held
by the . Mechanics' ; institute:" The mer
chant "and the manufacturer, he said,
would have at such: an exposition .an
opportunity' to exhibit, their products
and the people would have a chance to
learn, just what the state was doing.
Frank L. Brown took up the,John
ston suggestion" and said that the hold
irig.of these annual expositions would
teach the community how to Handle the
big.affair of 1915. ;
.From these arguments grew the Idea

OAKLAND, July 15.— That there is
no mistaking the moral lesson conveyed
In the average moving picture play, was
the assertion to the city council made
by D.' F. Selby; representing- the Na
tional amusement association, and by
Guy SmitW. owner of moving picture
houses, who protested against the or-;
dinance to establish a board of.censor
ship. • ' -
Selby declared that in all moving.pic
ture films -the villain meets a, sudden
death or Is otherwise overtaken by
retribution, but he "cited "Oliver Twist"
as the'example of a real play In which
horror teaches no lesson and does not
inspire. He also said a bill would go
to the next congress to establish a na
tional board of censorship.
Smith asserted that all films are cen
sored before they get here by a New
York board of censorship. iV..
The'ordinancejwas laid over till the
