Salem's evening pa per published on the front page of its Issue of yesterday a "story" about an advertisement fot flour which It claimed brought 1C times the number of replies that resulted from the same advertisement published in The Statesman1. Is the evening.paper Jealous of the advertising value of The Statesman? Is it trying to hoodwink the public by tell ing a half truth THE WORST KIND OF A LIE? It told of ihis particular grocer's advertisement; but. it didn't tell of his competitor's advertisement qiotlng a lower price for exactly the same brand of flour. The competitor's ad. appeared in the Statesman, but not in the evening pap-r. Naturally Ihe public bought their flour here tby could get it the cheapest of the competitor. The grocer referred to Is a shrewd business man and a film believer in advertising so Is the competitor. Neither of them was surprised at the result of the advertisement re ferred to. They know the Salem people are wide awake that they wr.tch advertisements for the purpose of buying where they can buy the cheapest. These grocers dontt try to hoodwink the public.

'On the contrary, the priority orders iesned by the Interstate commerce com m Us ion and the rctlon taken by the railways and the coal producers were eminent ly practical and right and have been the direct means of averting ery setions shortage of coal during the fall and winter. "The Joint statement of Sen ator Calder and Edge gives the impression that the National Coal association and the coal Industry have done nothing up to this time to put an end to 'abuses which the senator attacked. This Impression Is grossly mis leading and unfair. The fact Is that the National Coal association months ago. through special com mittee, began an effort to elim M"1' anous abuses that veloped during the shorts had de- re emer Igency with the result that, i through the co-operation of other branches of tthe Industry, they have been generally eradicated.
