This exhibit closed on Saturday night, and It was really a great advance on, anything seen before. Th'oao who saw It v ill have something ' pleasant to remember. ; Tho exhibit was not confined to manufactures I alone, but was comprehensive, reaching to all sorts I - or products In tho state. Ever county was rep-Hi rep-Hi , resented, and while tho manufactures had a proml-lli proml-lli i ncnt placo tho products of tho earth In .minerals, s grain, and other naturl or cultivated resources IL wcro all represented In flno form.

WELL WRITTEN ADVERTISING If Thcro Is no quicker way In tho world to lose If money than through advertising therefore tho I , necessity ot making advertising a science. B In order to make, a business pay In this day B and generation, It must bo beautiful and It must I bo scientific. , I Advertising demands a knowledgo ot (psychol- j ' ogy, and psychology Is tho science of tho humhn I- henrt. In prepnrlng uds wo deal with emotions, I passions, tendencies, hopes, nmbltlonB, desires. I' In ono sense, advertising and salomhnshlp aro I twin sisters. I do not know tho girls apart. Tho I ono thnt Is nearest I lovo host. ' ' I need not nrguo that advertising must bo I ' J pleasing. All well written advertising Is liter- It ature, and nil literature Is advertising. Lltcrnturo I' advertises n time, a plnce, tin event, a thing. Events I do not live, All w0 hnvo Is tho record. I History Isn't tho thing thnt happened; it Is I tho account of It. o all history is advertising. I' And history woll written Is literature. All written I' advertising should be literary in stylo and quality. I Good advertisements start with a platitude. I That Is, they begin with a bromide which or- I ery one will accept. Thon when you haTe the man I walking down the street you have tho opportunity I to tell him a few things. Nevor begin an ndver- tlsement with a startling statement which Invites I- dlsputo. I, Advertisements however, must be more than I platitude, more than trjusm. They must be sulph- I Ides as well as bromides. I I would say that every advertisement should I contain one platitude, but one Is enough. Then hero Is tho formula: Take K quart of truth, stir It I "( up with a dash ot wit, season with wisdom, flavor with love, mix gnrnlsh with platitude and servo. I The Fra. !

FUSS ABOUT PASSES Tho report on the Investigation ot free railroad rail-road transportation In Colorado sounds serious at first bit on closer examination It Impresses one as much ado about nothing. Tho questions ot trhn's-1 portatlon can safely be left to the managers of tho transportation lines. They aro not likely to let their liberality lnterfcro with good sound business. Tho theory, when tho agitation against free transportation was first started, was that tho rHtl-roads rHtl-roads wore carrying so man passengers freo ot chhrgo that the rest of tho traveling public wore overcharged. Passes were then practically nllm-Inated nllm-Inated from all Interstate traffic. What Is "the result? re-sult? Has tho theory been demonstrated? Are the passenger rates between, let us say Salt Lake mid Chicago, or Salt Lako and Los Angeles, lower linn thoy wero before? Is tho freight lowered en a-count a-count of anti-pass legislation, and If so, to what, ex tent Is tho public benefited In the shape of cheaper groceries, cheaper clothing, and other commodities? Theso nro nil pertinent questions which should be "onuldered. The report shows that judges, state officials, etc., havo had ptisses In Colorndo. Can It be shown thnt that fact ImB In 'any wny Influenced them In tho performance of an official duty? If there Is a Judge anywhere, or a state, or communal official wh6 will accept a ticket worth perhaps $10 or $25 to htm, ho has no business to hold any position of trust. Tho people should get rid ot htm at once. Tho taklug away of a pass from a dishonest public servant would not mako him honest and fit to hold office. Tho matter ot Interstate transportation hhs not, so far, been considered as belonging to tho Jurisdiction Juris-diction of the Interstate Commerce commission. It would bo interesting to know on what ground the Commissioner takes a different view. If tho Commission Com-mission can mako an offense, In a stttte ot an act which Is not violating any law of the state, why can It not step In nnd mako laws for tho state and thus render legislatures superfluous and elections n farce? Shippers and travelers beyond Btnte limits, lim-its, It Is true, aro subject to tho rules governing Interstate, traffic, but transportation within the boundaries of tho Btato Is not Interstate traffic Descret News. J. 4. .J. A HAPPY THOUGHT Tho International Harvester company, tho harvest har-vest trust owns nnd operates n stupendous twine factory at Auburn, N. Y. A recent Investigation of conditions among Its employees, pursued by a New York legislative commission, developed that wbmen wero employed there for twelv hours a night, seven sev-en nights a week, tit a stipend barely sufficient to prevent body and soul from parting company. -Working conditions wero ot tho worst possible ;-jjfllth nnd flying dust endangered tho lives of tho employ-,, ees; there whs no known modern sanitary precaution precau-tion that had not been neglected, no method to mlnimlzo expenso and augment profits that bad n6t been employed. 'j Theso workors are annoying their employers, prominent among whom Is Mr. George W. Perkins, the nngel of tho Dull Moose party, by striking. They exhausted every hmlcablo means of se:urlpg) better conditions and moro Just remuneration, but failed. Among the most implacable of tho own? ers was Mr. Perkins who Joined tho Dull Modsoj party, ho snld, In order that "this might bo better bet-ter country for his children to live In." And now' the trust threatens to move Its pinnt to Europo unless un-less tho strike. Is settled, nnd Its employees cease their belligerency. This Europcnn heglra suggestion Is Indeed a happy thought. Tho trust will find there men and women who nro accustomed to social and Industrial Injustlco, whoso habit and thnt ot their fathers and grandfathers has boen to live in slovenly surroundings surround-ings without even many of the necessities ot life. It can recruit employees among a clnss that has been tho lowest layoro f the social and Industrial system thht expects nothing hut the worst ot It and Is never disappointed. Tho blessings ot free trade have made Europe's working men hnd women hopeless uncomplaining hewers ot wood and drawers ot water who ask little lit-tle of life becauso centuries of economic slayers have crushed whntever ot Independnc and ot ambition am-bition their Creator gfve them. f Wo Imaglno this will be more satisfactory 0 the trust. Its officers will bo deferentially treated by tholr employees; their feelings will not bo ruffled ruf-fled by the pugnacious Independence that Is so common com-mon In America. Horald-Republlchn. 4. 4. . IN MEXICO Tho nope thnt Mexico would enjoy peace with the overthrow of the Madero government has not so far been realized. And the Immediate prospects ore not encouraging. There Is revolution In the North and revolution in tho South. Thousands ot rebels nro still under arms. ? It Is very difficult to understand the Mexican situation. Dut it Is probably truo thut h large portion ot tho peoplo there, the peons are absolute children as far as their understanding ot political social, or Industrial conditions are concerned. It Is probably also true that tho large land owners nro equally unsophisticated In government affairs hnd that their Interest In tho public business Is confined to a demand for low taxes and safety against bandits. It Is, furthermore, evident that tho majority of tho MexichnB aro moro absolutists than Itopubllcans in sentiment. Thoy have been imbued im-bued with that spirit from tho cradlo and they ) know no moro nbout a democracy than about tho I philosophy of Dorgson. Thero are also some highly high-ly educated, Intelligent and far advanced Mexican patriots, but they are a minority. Rebel leaders find ample mhtorlal among tho other classes, and they never hesitate to take advantage of their Ignorance. Ig-norance. They aro tho politicians and office hunters ' of the country.
