A UEIUCAN RELIEF
ADMIN 1ST R ATI ON
An appalling situation of snffer ,,
ing, involving hundreds of thous
ands of people who have been
forced to flee 'from their homes in
the Near East and to seek refuge
in lands already burdened with'
care, has emphasised to the peo-
ple-cf this country that the Amer
ican Red Gross is our National
Emergency Fund with which to
meet great crises in disaster. The
accentuation of the fact is the
greater in that the particular ca
lamity now appealiug to bumauity
his fallen rj tist in f.dvance of the
American lied Gross annual Roll
Call.
The 'resources of -the Amercm
Red Gross must be annually re
plenished through rhe Roll Call.
This yearthe summons is second
ed by a concrete emergencydflhe
kind that is ever liable to be pre
cipitated upon the world. It ie
impossible for the Rd Cross to be
'dependent upon a public appeal
for specific objects, because when
emergency and disaster face us
we have no time to wait nutrl
funds can be raised. The Red
'Cross is our ever-ready agency for
responding to the 'call df calamity
the moment the alarm is sounded.
The American Red Cross should
have a minimum membership f
ten million in order that its re
servos may be equal to our domes
tic and our foreign emergencies in
humane purposes, In the light of
tny experience in 'relief work
throughout the world I feel it a
duty to express my personal hope
that the people of America will
show their confidenc in their Rd
Cross iu this. Roll Call in unmis
takable terms. Let's all get be
hiud the Red Cross aud give it ten
million members for its great work.

THEY DESERVE VICTORY.
In explaining the Democratic
victory of -Nov. 7 and highly ap
proving it, the Republican Boston
Transcript editorially says, among
other things:
"The beet part about the wig
ging which the people have given
at the polls in many parts of the
country to the party in power is
that the wigging was well deserved;
The party in power has neglect
ed its opportunity, paltered in the
face of grave and pressing' prob
lems, played feet and loose with
the veterans of the -Great War,
goose-etepped before organized
bauds of noisy minorities, honey
fugled the pacifists, enacted tar
iff bill that, as we have repeatedly
said; is a disgrace to the Republi
can party aud a menace to the Na
tion,' insulted the intelligence aud
inflamed the passiou of the elector
ate iu uj.iuy parts of the couutry
by appointments to office that-are
indefensible ou auy score for ex
ample E. Mout Reily as Governor
oE Porto Rico aud a whole tribe of
political swindlers south of the
Masou-Dixou liue.
"Instead of leadership iu the
lower house of Congress the -'lie.
publicans-have set up'iiu oligarcy
cousietiug of Moudel of Wyomiug,
Madden of Illiuois, Kelly of Mich
iuan aud Aulhouy of Kansas the
worst of the lot. Iustead of resist
ing the impudent and iasoleut
manner iu which this oligarcy has
invaded the constitutional preinis
-es of the -Executive, the Executive
has iu too many iustances, ealaam
ed before the invaders. Iu tho
place of 'one man government at
the exeoutive end of the Avenue,
the party iu .power has given the
country a taste of misgoverniueut
-at both ends by a congressional ol-
jgarcy9 unfit to adeiiuister as it
wtrf to legislate."

ADVERTISING
"A uewsp per -advert isnneirt
strikes the eye the moment the
sheet is opened,' says W. L. Doug-
Ian, the big shopman, who-spends
ft')out $260,000 an no-ally in news
paper bdvertisiug. lie skjs fur
ther that that' very fwct is the ree
eou hechoeeos the newtpajKir rath
er thau auy other advertising -me
dium This is one veiy good rea
son why newspaper advertising w
the cheapest regardless of juriee.
Let us look t dUferenf'irinSs of
advertising, such as personal solic
itation and.persouai letter writing,
and see how they compare with
newspaper advertising. We do not
refer to circular letters, bills, etc,
because from thestandpoiut of the
local merchant these only act as au
NiDxilisry or eitiforcement to news
paper advertising,' aud successful
advertisers ouly regard thm as
such. Buteerseual'etjlicitfttiou by
the local uierciwint -und wiitiug
prospective customers personal let
ters do compete with n-w pf-er
advertising.
Personal solicitation and person
al letter writing are very ej?peubi
to the local merchant, iu "fadtTso
expensive as to be practically pro
hibitive " - .
Tttkecpersoual better -nvritiBg
illustration, aud we take this as il
luaUatiou because it is far cheaper
thau ersoual solicitation. The
light kind of a $500 ad put in a pa-
with. y ,000 circulatiou would be
read by-10,000 people, Same sub
stance put into a letter, each letter
typewritten, mailed 'tsuder'a two
cent stamped envelope, kldrcsstd
audealed as personal letters must
be, and seut to 10,000 people would'
coBt-20Q for postage fetanjps, aud
$100 extra for printing envelopts
and letterheads, -stenographer to
writeletters aud address envelope,
etc, making a towl of -over S'300.
Aud the cost 1 3 personally eoliifc
the 10,000 people would be some
thing enormous.. ;
Newspapers are run for the ad-
-vertiser. All other:item ormfor-
matiou arretput; iu to make the pa
der popular aud selb the paper.
This fact alcne makes 'newspaper
advertising the cheapest 4idveilii;.

Down iu Georgia iu anteliellu!

of a politician, too, aud always took
a lively interest in the local affairs
of the community, especially the
