Moses, President Associa tion ot American Advertisers So far as can bo loarnod from his tory, tbo wall of tho world hns ovor boon for honost men. With honost mon In control, ovory problem that has confronted civiliza tion from tho beginning of tho world to now would bo solvod. Thoro would bo no povorty, no crlmo, no wars, no optdomics, no racs or rollgtouB hatrods, no discordant noto anywhoro. No ono has ovor undertaken to count tho laws that havo boon passod to make honesty compulsory. Theso statistics, howovor, aro avallablo: In tho yoar 1910 alono thoro woro passod by tho federal and stato legislatures ovor 44,000 now laws. A law Is somothlng whoso purpose Is to compol people to do or not to do certain things. A law, If just, alms to mako mon do that which they would do without law If they woro honost. So It scorns that n groat majority of tho enactments passod havo as tholr object the promotion of hon esty. What has boon tho result of' nil theso hundreds of thousands of laws? Is honesty any moro of a glut on tho market than It ovor was? Tho troublo has boon this: Tho law novor changod human na ture It novor made anybody per manently honost. Mankind ennnot bo legislated Into goodnoss. Morality doos not find Its sourco In legislature, but must luap straight from tho heart. Just now thoro 1b a nation wldo movomont to mako advertising hon ost. Evory decent man In Atnorlca Is supporting that movomont, and all ovor tho land advertising clubs and associations aro lifting up tholr voic es In favor of 1L Porhaps a majority bcllovo tho remedy lies In tho law. Others feel that thoro Is a bottor Honry Forrls, Hndar, Nob., Is tho father of ton children and for tho pant 20 years has used Foloy's Hono7 and Tar Compound with tho best ot results.

Thntway is tho pow er of public opinion. Ten ycarB ago, dUhonost, deceiving nnd false advertising was at Its zenith. Exaggeration, falsohood and plain lying woro universal. Tho fakir and tho swindler woro not tho only offenders but practically every advortlser lndulog In extrava gant and unwarranted forms of speoch iu promoting hla wares. Thou tho real work ot roform started. Publishers bogan to rofuso that particular form ot advertising which wns fraudulent on Its taco. Moro and moro closoly was tho copy scanned as tlmo paBsod, until today tho professional swindler finds his way bo almost complotoly barred that his vocation of collecting coin by fraudulent advertising Is about gono. Thoro still remains that aeml-ro-spoctablo form of advertising that deals largoly in suporlatlves and ex aggeration. But progress upward has been rapid, and It hua cotno about not bocauso of law, but becauso men' aro learning without enactment that honesty Is a paying proposition. Thoy aro learning that truthful ad vertising, which tho public bolloves, "pulls" hotter than misleading ad vertising that tho public sUBpocts. Public opinion Is a powor nbovo and beyond laws, and so far uu I can loam, no law over made public opin ion. Laws aro for lawyers. Onco got advertising Into tholr hands nnd the Issuo will bo so cloud ed that no mnn will know what ho may or muy not say In public print. Truth Is a point of vlow, and In all history no man has yet appeared who was wise enough to say "This Is suro ly so, or that Is Burely not so," In tho matter of merchandise. Public opinion is at work, nnd Its inlluonco 1b widening and broadening dally. To now rush In and try to accom plish by law that which Is being ac complished without law would bo a blunder That Is tho way things look to mo.
