EVENING ROSEBCRC RIVIEW MAY 1, 1912. IMPORTANCE OF THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER Advertising Ciiven For Nothing Vt ualljr Worth No More Thin it Costs. Say, Expert. The Times-Herald of Boyd. Wig fheTTf 'd,tor!y que. ion of jEw n 7 "' follow.: Arthur Brisbane says that the coun,rj' n 'Paper man won a year. And why notT Other professional men that have .penT i" ' me 'earn,ng thelr Profession are no more competent, work no harder and have not a, tenth of the capital tied up In their business that the newspaper man has. have in comes equaling and exceeding $3- iron! year- ,T"ere 18 rth"i wrong somewhere, and It Is up to the newspaper men to locate the trouble It would be hard to find a profession- jrlrade8 n,an ,hat 18 n,"-e P"rly paid than the country editors of Wis consin for the work they accomplish and the good that thev do It is time for the newspaper" men to get together and grapple with this condi tion that is holding them down to a mere living while the communities which they help to build up wax rich and prosperous." The editor of the Times-Herald is extremely modest in his estimate as the value of an Intelligent, ear nest and honest local editor. A black slave, sound in wind and limb, was worth one thousand dol lars in the open market in the old days. He worked for one man. Does it not Reem that a newspaper editor working for a thousand Amer ican citizens, representing thera and defending their interests, should be worth at least as much as one hun dred illiterate black slaves? If the editor of a newspaper with one thousand circulation is worth as much as a hundred slaves he Is worth a hundred thousand dollars, and he ought to get on that value at least six per cent, which is six thousand dollars a year. No one denies that an Intelligent mechanic Is worth as much as twenty slaves, for he can go out and earn the interest on twenty thousand dol lars. There Is something the matter with the newspaper business or the edi tors, or both, if a local editor, rep resenting the interests of a big com munity, cannot earn as much as a middle class drummer, a second class congressman or a tenth rate actor. The black rlave, by the way, had a dull time at a relatively low value because he worked for nothing. The important thing for him was to get his freedom and stop work ing for no pay. As long as the editor continues to work for no pay, as long as he plays the part of the abandoned shanty andt.makes his newspaper a recep tacle for free advertising he will have a dull time and a poor income. He must first get his freedom, stop working for nothing, get. paid for what he does, for the advertising that he distributes, the get a com plete unlimited parcels post, so that the advertisers of the world may use his publication as an eifocttve dis tributing agency. per year per subscriber will he the' minimum profit of the local ctlitor of: a small circulation. I The local editor with a weekly orj a aauy running as nign as tour or five thousand circulation will make twenty thousand dollars per year at least and be more useful because he will be a more independent citizen, and he will get out of the cotton picking class and, in the language of modern advertising, "go up where he belongs."

Atlanta. Ga.. April. 2&-Two crowded audiences greeted Pastor Russell here to day. One of bis dis courses was from the text, "Christ also hath once suf fered for sins, tbe Just for tbe un Just.that Be might bring ns to Uod. being put to death in the flesh, but qnlckened in the spirit, by which (two experiences death and resurrection) He preached unto the spirits in prison" (I Peter ill. IS. 101. This text has been made the basis for some very peculiar presentations. The difficulty In every case seems to be the failure to remember that the Bible al ways and everywhere teaches that the dead are really dtai, that they know nothing, and that, therefore, it would be Impossible to preach to tbe dead. Spirits Once Disobedient. The spirits to whom the messuge was given had proven themselves disobe dient, says St. Peter. He even tells us tbe time of their disobedience "in the days of Noun, while the ark was pre p:iring." Turning to Genesis vl, 1-5, we- flnu there tbo cause of the disobedience of these angels who for a time had been permitted to see what they could do for the uplift of humanity, or, rather, per mitted to demonstrate thnt the down ward tendency of sin is Incurable ex cept In the manner which God has al ready arranged for through Messiah 8ud His glorious reign of 1.U00 years. Instead of those angels helping man kind out of siu. they helped themselves into sin; and by so doing they increased tin- depravity amongst humanity until tire astounding record is that "the wickedness of man was great in tbe earth, and thnt every Imagination of tbe thought of his heart was only evil cnntinmilly." The particular sin of those angels was that when tbey were granted tbo privileges of materializing --of taking human bodies for the Bake of helping and Instructing mankind they n:tued tills power and took to themselves wives. We are particularly told that the off spring of tills Improper union were giants, both physically and mentally superior to tbe fallen human famlly "mcn of renown." The nice thus In several centuries became so corrupt that apparently only Noah and his family were left nncontnlninated. It was then and there that God Im prisoned these spirits f'angels. who kept not their first estate"i. and are therefore c:iiied fallen ntigels, devils, demons. They were not Imprisoned In some far-off world called hell, nor are they engaged there In stoking fires. The rocoivl is that God cast them down, that they might not longer asso ciate with the holy angels. Imt must lie reserved In tartaru our earth's atmos ptiere.-Jmle 0: II Peter II. 4. 5. When Imprisoned r cut off from the privilege of materialization, many of the fallen spirits continued their active opposition to God. after the manner of Satan. Hence they are spoken of as bis angels, his messengers, and he is spoken uf as lloelzetmb. thrir Prince. How Jesus Preached In Death. Flere arises another ipiestion: If Jesus was really dead, a Hie Scrip tures declare; If "lie poured out His soul nuto death" and made His soul an offering for sin." end lils soul was not rn!cd from the dead until the third day after liis crucifixion, how could He In the meantime pretlrh to spirits In prison, or to anybody else? We re ply that He could preach in tbe sain war that tbe Affile refers to. .-irlrr "Al-el. Iielne dend. vet Sl-e.lketh" (lie brews xl. 4': and again. In the same way that the htood of A'-el Is said ! ha e cried to Gsl ligunitivcly. Of o:.e tiling we are sure, namely, that .leo: gave no oral udilri-ss wlii'e lie B dead He pre.T hed In ti e way we sometime refer to when we say. "A' Hons sis-ak louder than words."

His nrr moB to there wis complete, narae'y tbst "the wages of sin Is death." but "tbe gift of God is eternal life" (Romans Tt. 23.) And as they realised thus the Power of Uod and -the Love of God fcr His human creatures, the Apostle's words imply that this con stituted to them a message of hope. ' Doubtless there Is much significance also in St. Paul s remarks, "Know ye not tbat the saints shall . Judge an gels 7" (1 Corinthians Ti, 8.) We do know that the sols' angels need no Judging, no trial: hence the Apostle must refer to a trial, or Judgment or testing of these spirits In prison whe were disobedient, in the days of Moan. S. P.
