ADVERTISING AND WAR
v
: I
For the firtl lime in history ai
vertising has been used consciously
as an aid to war. An Englishman
came to the aid of the war office
when it' had the blues over shortage
'of recruits. By coining patriotic
and foreigners encaged in"" thereon'
genial occupation of .digging New
York city's new subways will be Ols
missed and their placet taken by an
equal numbea : of American labor
ers. These must come mostly irom
the rural districts, because .the work
requires more endurance ana pnyst
cal stamina than most of the city's'
"Unemployed" possess, and is of ;. a
character and remuneration - not
tempting to high grace American
labor already lodged in the metropo
lis. ' ' ': -'. " . :' J .; i I
Meatnime New York will not stand
by and watch the jobless aliens
starve. They will be fed atv the
bread lines, already strung out to
dismaying lengths, until the up
state farmers, benefit l.y labor by the
call for help in the farms and fields
spring. The effect or the law, wnicn
aimed at the relief of unemployment,
is exactly the opposite cf its extent.
It increases unemployment in the
city, deplete? the all too slender 'sto'r
resources oif the rural section and
creates a social maladjustment more
productive of harm titan good.
The legislators who passed this
bill.'wtere aware that il is dangerous
tb-.tampir with economic law, espec
ially in the field of unskilled labor.

The expert simply applied science
and system to an ait as old as wnr
itself. Caesar advertised for men to

Rome. The pomp' and glory of war.

red the,, blood of the populace and
helped to clinch the dominion of
a -military era, every pern and story
in praise of martial heroism, every
decoration pinned by a sovereign, up
, on the breast of a subject as the re
ward of valor all of these have
i been bungled, because psychology is
' a new science and the laws of sug
gestion but dimly understood until
day before yesterday- Cost consid
ered, the old methods did not justify!
themselves i .because in spite of them'
lethargy spread.
Scientific advertising, founded up
on laws as constant in their opera
tion as those in the domain of physi-
cal science, is now an ally of mili
tarism. Le Bas proved that it is
easy to popularize war as it is to
popularize shoes or suspenders' or
chewing gum. Spread money intelli
gently, use the proper mediums,' get
your message across, und the trick
can be turned for wa,' as. simply as
for trade.
If one believes in wnr he will re
joice at . the alliance between war
and printers' ink. Buo- those who
hope that this in the last war are
disturbed and troubled. ... Fondly ,per
, haps too fondly, they have counted
upon publicity as their most firm
friend the militarists can use advertis
as neatly and precisely as they can
use areonautics and nif-chariics. . Tho
pneifiists must accomodate them
selves to the certainty that hereaf
ter governments will use advertise
irtg for military purposes.'
But the pence party need not lose
heart on that account. H. G. Wells
has already called attention to the
need of a campaign of education in
favor of peace among all people of
Europe. To be effective place pro
paganda must be brought out of the
formal atmosphere of the convention
hall and presented to the people in
tajbloid phrases,. La Bas might be re
tained for the job. "Thou shnlt not
kill" is just as effective a slogan ns
"Your king and country need you."
the law would be declared unconstit
utional. '
It is an olr game, this of passing
along to the courts tlx odious job
of killing unwise situation. Law
makers are slow to learn that the
is to face it boldly and intelligently,
best way- out of a difficult situation
. Billy Sunday proves that it pays to
advertise. . His congregations ex
ceed those of the ordinary preacher
by just about the same proportion as
the customers of the stores that
don't. '
We grow angrier and angrier over
the terrible waste of war every time
we think of the number of fishing
worms wasted' by those fellows dig
ging trenches in Europe.
Now ' if Mr. BurbanK will kindly
invent a self pulling dandelion and
self swatting fly our welcome to
spring will be more hearty.

made by John. T. and Cora B, Do'well
in the matter of. the application, of
J. B. and Jennie M., Farrens for a

In 1904, they allege, the mother of

her home and family and left the'
state of Missouri -with one James
Sturgin. The following- year the
husband secured a divorce and wus
given custody of the child, proof of
which is filed in the form of a copy
of the decree. Just before his death,
the father of the child by a deed of,
adoption gave the care and custody of '
the little . girl to his brother, John
U Carlton and (Clara Cferltori.
