What do they mean, many people are asking. "Pork." dear reader, is an 3W his speech at outte, jus- appropriation maae oy tnose in tice Hughes gave utter-1 power and consequently de ance to the following re- J nounced by those who are out markable statement : of office. "The democratic party hasj Appropriations for postof always been a party of opposi- j fices are always considered tion to progress, lhere nasi pork by those out ot omce not been a national movement in response to a national de mand that has not had to run over the prostrate form of the democratic party." If that charge is true Presi-j dent Wilson and his party, should be retired from the con trol of the government ; if the charge is false and unfair the man who makes such accusa tions is not worthy of the con fidence of the American peo ple. The record in the case is easi ly available. The following! are conspicuous among the le-j gislative measures enacted , under the Wilson regime : 1 The federal reserve actJ which provides safe banking' and prevents financial panics.' 2 A thorough revision of the tariff in the interest of the common people. 3 The enactment of the in-! come tax law. 4 The extension of the par cels post. 5 Provision for construct ion of the Alaska railroad. 6 Creation of the federal trades commission. 7 Provision for vast im provements in the navy and the trmy. 8 Enactment of a federal rural credit law. 9 Enactment of the federal child labor law. It is entirely truthful to say! that these measures constitute the greatest schedule of pro- irresitive law s enacted in this country since the civil war. Under three years of Wilson the country has had more pro gressive legislation than it se cured all told under Taft Koosevelt and McKinley. Many of the laws adopted are far reaching in their benefits. Oth ers arc reformatory in their na ture. All of them breathe a t-pirit of progress and construc tive statesmanship. They were passed by a democratic admin istration; they were not run I over the "prostrate form" of that party. Fighting a partisan battle Mr. KufhM haa made fatoe and unjust charge against his1 fendleton has secured such a building and has genuine need that the rivers and harbor bill is a "pork barrel" measure. The express companies hold the same view of all measures that improve the rural postal service. It is easy to see why. Ninety per cent of the talk about "pork" is buncombe. The appropriations for internal im provements under the Wilson administration have not been greater than the appropriations of the same character under former administrations. If the situation were otherwise it would be no reflection on those in power. When a political party has to base a presidential campaign on the subjects of pork or pat ronage it confesses it is im poverished for a real issue. "COMMITMENTS AND OB LIGATIONS" tflf HE New York Railways Company says the people, ought to pay the adcliti-, on to the wages of its men. be- cause it has not earned "full interest on its bonds." Presi dent Shonts explains that this might be done by lightening! taxes or the cost of paving and snow removal between tracks.: The old street railways; which the Metropolitan merger i bound together are highly pro fitable. Dividends of 6, 7, 8, 10, 16 and even 1 per cent are paid now upon their basic $45.04 in new issues. It is the as bonus in the beginning, bonds covering the cost of con struction. Right in It's Prime Many wonderful saving on merchan dise that is most desired. That s what we offer during our GREAT AUGUST CLEARANCE SALE SILK SUITS, HALF PRICE CLOTH SUITS, HALF PRICE PARASOLS NOW HALF PRICE A CLEARANCE OF ALL SUMMER GOODS AT GREAT REDUCTIONS. The Metropolitan spewed out Niagaras of new securities, Bold them and went bankrupt. The promoters became rich. The scandal was one of the nastiest in American high fi nance. Out of receivership the company was reorganized and under a policy which seems as morally wrong as it was fi nancially rash, holders of old shares were allowed, by pay ing $12.90 cash, to receive stocks, which were often issued new bonds whose interest Mr. Shonts complains is unearned. Is it any wonder? Among the "commitments and obligations" of local street-railway financing re vealed to the Thompson com mittee were bonuses to Mr. Shonts and others for their ad mirable services and profitable c ontracts in which the city is an unconsulted paying partner, through the subway bargain. We have known for five years that passengers were expected to refund part of their losses to plunder Metropolitan stock holders. Now the city is invit ed also to render further help with the wages of the em ployes. New York World. imHn The railroads are exceeding ly prosperous and the trainmen believe it is a fit time for them to have the eight hour day ad opted; that is the substance of the present controversy. . . -. Mr. Hughes has shifted his campaign somewhat and is now talking more about pork and patronage than about Mexico and war. Why not a general county wide move to straw the roads where straw is needed?

No use answering a question with a theory when facts are at hand facts like these: August used to be the dullest month of all the year in the furniture business now it is the very busiest because advertising turned dullness into activity. January was formerly a time when men's clothing store did no business. Now, by advertising, they make record sales. Right down the list instances can be cited where mer chants and manufacturers have turned supposedly dull periods into busy ones. And they did it by advertising by newspaper advertising in most instances. Sitting around cusing the weather won't ring the cash register, but ADVER TISING WILL. Newspaper advertising coupled with good merchandizing will drive any dull month from the calendar. Perhaps not at once, but little by little. Now is the time to increase business for the immedi ate present and get a flying start for the Fall. Now is the time to make your advertising plans and to begin an aggressive bid for business. Perhaps the advertising manager of this newspa per can make some suggestions, or if you want in formation about other cities write to the Bureau of Advertising.
