PERSISTENT HAMMEBING
There are many business men who have tried out adver
tising at some time in their, past history, but who gave it up
because the returns did not immediately come in as they
thought they should. They are a good deal like a certain
type of editors whom one meets occasionally, fl'hese fel
;:.ws take the authority of their words very seriously. If
''jJil'jr come out in their papers for some proposition of public
, improvement, they expect the public to accept the idea at
; jtiWie. But if a newspaper mentions some project once, and
'i&kto drops it, people do not usually get waked up enough
on that matter so they will do anything about it. The re
: Bult is that a good many editors who lack the resolution for
- a sustained campaign in behalf of any public cause, will
'.'.drop such a subject when they find the public did not at
' ; once follow their lead. If they had had a better conception
. of human nature, they would have kept hammering at the
- subject a long time. People have to hear a thing over and
.oyer again before it arouses their attention. But if you tell
them a certain thing often enough, they will either believe
', it or at least be interested enough so they will take the mat-
ter up and consider it. It is much the same in advertising.
" Merely telling them once or a few times that a certain place
' is a good one to trade at, is a good thing so far as it goes,
"t "'Vat it fails to reckon on this element of inertia in the human
temperament. It is necessary to keep hammering on the
"idea, until the constant repetition of the same lodges it fin
, . ally in their minds. That does not necessarily meair sper.d-
'-rng a large amount of money. The same effect is often pro-
, ;Uiced by inserting a small advertisement over and over
gain, making different announcements of course so that
' the advertising shall seem newsy.
: H. M. Atkinson, who is chairman of the board of Uhe
t typrgia Railway and Power Company, declares we have
i become a nation of law breakers. He says: "What we need
f is fewer laws on the statute books, more respect for law
I ,'luiil more regard for jastice in the minds and consciences
"jctf'jnen. I do not mean that wo should take less interest in
i j ...government. On the other hand we should take a more
j J"3ye interest than over before. 'The greatest trouble is that
j . M-twty many of us have pursued the even tenor of our way and
t left the affairs of state to the politicians and soap box orat
; ors. The result ha.s been that the, highest offices within the
I '"!'ifts of the people have been brought into more or less dis
I repute and are seldom sought by men of marked ability and
hjgh principles. We havo defaulted in our obligations to
: . -"tociety and need an aroused public conscience with particu-
lar reference to our duty as citizens as it relates to the af
fairs of state and conduct of our government."

AY hen we boaHt of America be
ing a self contained nation, able
to get along well in Isolation;
quite free from any need to inter
fere for the settlement 'of trouble
abroad, we do greatly deceive our
foolish selves. Every year we be
come more and more dependent
on foreign countries for our pros
perity. In fact as we grow more
prosperous we grow more depen
dent.
According to the report of the
Federal bureau of foreign and do
mesJlc commerce, we imported- in
1924 materials raw, hull finished
or manufactured to the amount of
$.1,57 fi, 000,000. This ei.orn.oua
amount waa never reached before
the World war; nor waa ever be
fore that war, our annual increase
in imports so rapid as since 1918.
As an example of our need of
raw material from abroad, with
all our enormous wealth ot Iron
ore we imported in 1924, 1,801,
480 tons of iron ore. We need
such ores as alloys to mix with
our own ore for the manufacture
of various types of steel. In other
metals we heavily lean on for
eigners. We have practically no
tin; not enough manganese, nor
vanadium nor aluminum nor nic
kel. All these metals we must
have in our great steel industries.
How great a part rubber now
plays in our industries! Not a
fraction of it Is raised on onr own
soil. Not an automobile could run
without rubber. Yet the manufac
ture and upkeep of automobiles Is
now the greatest Industry In
America. We import leather and
aluminum lacquers and other ma
terials for automobile manufac
ture. The drug trade of America
would he broken up if we were cut
off from Roods originating abroad.
All our coffea and tea, one-half of
our sugar, much of the material
entering into our table ware; all
the silk we manufacture and wear,
one-hulf of all the wool we use;
nearly all the rope, and twine,
fiber; practically all our linens
0013 from other countries.
We often think that it would he
well if we manufactured all the
fabricated things we use, and
raised all our raw material. We
