ADVERTISING CITIES.
This subject Is attracting more and
more the cities of iho South. It Is an !
every d"occurrence now to note tho,
arrangement* that are being made to j
advertise ferlald cities, and In most
cases it Is taking the shape of raising
a si>«ct«l fund to provide printed mat-
ter ft r wfyte distribution or the taking
up at certain schemes presented by
some reputed advertising export that
havf litHe to commend thorn In the
lino of practical value, says the Chat-
tanooga Tradesman;
The Tradwfcman Is an advocate for
advertising, it. believes that cities as
well as business mon and business in-
terests arc beneficiaries of judicious
advertising, but wa bug to enter a
strong protect ugainst certain forms
and methods adopted by many cities
, In the name of advertising that are
utterly valueless and tend to bring
discredit on legitimate publicity
through established, channel*.:
As a general rule ihe pald-for "write-
In anj( kind of k mediufy J# val-
less, Much less Is that Itlnd of a
fchenic of any beiuyit that lookB to
the city on the individual to provido
the circulation through pald-for copies
of the publication In which It appears.
There arc numbers of so-callod publi-
cations that are gotten up in all the
attractiveness of the printer's art,
j with pictures and scenes and special
notices of individuals, all equally flat-
tering, but which aro without any reg
ular patrons and only sold to the
, advertisers themselves for dlstrlbu-
, tlon.
This kind of mutter when sent out
almost Invariably finds the waste bos-
ket as Boon as seen. It bears tho ear-
marks of pald-for stuff and that ends
Its value. \
Then comes the reaction with those
who enter Into these schemes, for
finding themselves without results
•they turn down all advertising thereaf-
ter and are Inimical to legitimate
methods and established mediums to
their own injury and to the injury of
the community In which they llvo.
In advertising cities It is the samo
<is In advertising a business or an en-
terprise—there Is little value in spas-
modic spurts of publicity, These
ppasms are discounted by discerning
people and bring little or no results,
lor they are attributed to some of
these schemes or schemers, and the
public await other evidence to satisfy
them of good faith or merit In tho ad-
vertiser or his business.
A town or city that frequently ap-
I>ears bofore the public, as being ac-
tive In some line that indicates appro-
elation of Its resources or advantages,
whether In the lino of social surround-
ings, Industrial progress or other ovl-
dence of public spirit of the age, is
gaining the very highest class of ad-
vertising attainable This is publicity
that will bring results, for thore aro
people all over the world who are
watching and waiting for places of
this character, and these cannot be In-
fluenced by spasmodic notices that
disclose the fine hand of tho advertis-
ing expert, or that have not the sanc-
tion of a medium known to be above
that kind of financial blood-letting.

clay deposits around Denlson; dairy j

vided with interesting Items about the
progress and possibilities of dairy
farming and agricultural pursuits in
this section; canning trade papers
are Just now talking about the move-

pected.—Dallas TImes-HeraUL
Secretary Tom Larkln of the Denl-
son Board of Trade was here Monday

Tom expressed pleasure and surprise
at. the extent and magnificence of the
North Texas Fair and stated that if (
possible he would come another day

The Herald baa been urging people
with brick sidewalks to keep the
grass from encroaching on It from
the sides and getting a hold between
the bricks. On this aame subject the
Corslcana Sun says:
There are many cltlsens In Corsl-
cana who keep tho grass and weeds
from their sidewalks. A little closer
obsorvatlon will demonstrate that
those same cltlsens have clean yards
and about their houses Is an unmis-
takable evidence of neatness. All
honor to them. They have civic pride
and there is nothing that adds more
to a town than well kept yards and
good sidewalks free from the fringe
of coarse weeds and ragged grass.
Here's a true optimist for you. The
Terrell Transcript says:
There Is one good thing about the
weeds on the streets of Jerrell. When
the frost comes along and despoils
them of their leaves, they will make
splendid kindling.
Despise not the dar of little things.
In this day and time it la the little
things that count. A few chickens
and eggs to sell, a pound or two of
butter each week, a fat shoat occa-
sionally, or a heifer dreaaed and ready
for the market, a few turnips or other
vegetables. These are all practical
sources of Income for the farmers of
East Texas.—Palestine Herald.
Not. only are they practical sources
of Income but they can eaally become
among the leading Industries of the
state. The farmers are getting their
eyes open to the Importance of those
things which many have deemed un-
worthy of attention.
Denton has some faint symptoms
of improving some of the sidewalks.
Here's hoping that the 8ymptoms
may become general.—Denton Record
and Chronicle.
If the diagnosis Is correct no appre-
hension should be felt for the patient.
In fact. It Is to be hoped that the dis-
ease will become so marked as to be-
come epidemic throughout Texas,—
Fort Worth Record.
The indications are that Denlson Is
becoming Infected with the germs
and the Herald is very hopeful that
the town will be well marked.
THE SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY.
The South Is now an Inviting field
for commercial and industrial activi-
ties. and men of enterprise, with capi-
tal to back it, are looking In this di-
rection. and are more and more dis-
posed to cast their lot with us. The
South has always been noted for Its
Democracy, and true Democracy is al-
ways opposed to sumptuary and med-
dlesome legislation. Every Southern
State should be at pains to advertise
far and wide, that our govern-
ment,will not tolerate arrogance and
corruption In corporations of men do-
ing a legitimate business In all their
vested rights, and wlllr not subject
them to anv harsh ind unreasonable
exactions of law. We aboutd tell the
world that we propose to deal with all
political questions and with all'ques-
tions Involving personal and property
rights according to the established
principles of old-fashioned Democ-
racy. The Socialistic propaganda is
from San Antonio.
A few years ago the county voted
in favor of an Issue of bonds to the
amount of $500,000 for road Improve-
ment and the money was so well spent
as to Initiate a system of good public
highways lacking only In extent.
Practically all the public roads ra-
diating from this city were macadam-
ized a distance of about ten miles with
the money obtained from the sale of
the bonds Issued In that behalf. The
intention was, and Is, to extend these
loads, or, rather, the improvements
thereon, to the cpunty line just as fust
as circumstances will permit. The
Gounty Commissioners have bean very
earnest and energetic In tSie pursuit
of this purpose and a great deal has
been done with the means at their
command in the extension of some of
the principal macadamised highways,
as well as In keeping the roads In
good repair.
The necessary work, however, re-
quires !n good deal of heavier expendi-
ture than the present tax levy for
roads land bridges will warrant and
progress is, therefore, neceasarlly
slow. It is pleasing, though, to know
that thje County Commissioners are
doing the utmost that cah be done by
them to forward the g<^>d roads Im-
provement and that the object leason
which has been afforded by the Im-
proved roads In comparison with the
bad ones Is helping to arouse interest
and enthusiasm In the good roads
movement.
"A girl!" a« if it were the synonym
for all that was opprobrious. "Gee!
must I always sift ashes?"—Llppln-
cott's.

Attorney General Moody, discussing
a legal point, said-
"That Is striking but false logic. It
reminds me of a conversation I once
heard at the seashore.
"A man In a striped bathing suit
was running on thin, pale legs over
the hot, white beach toward the cool
water when a friend, seizing him by
the arm, said;
What I Are vou going In to bathe
just after a heavy lunch? Why, you
will be drowned!"
" 'Oh, no; not at all.' replied the
other. 'I ate nothing but fish.'

Not long ago Governor Folk of Mis-
souri, upon reaching his office at the
capltot in company with a friend,
found a number of men waiting in the
ante-room. He paused as he passed
through, and made a joke that was a
decided chestnut. When the governor
and his friend were in the private of-
fice, the friend remarked;
"8ay. that was a fearful one you
got off just now."
"I know It," was the complacent re-
ply.
"Then why did you do It?" the puz-
zled friend asked.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
"The practical success of tho Gal-
veston commission plan of city gov-
ernment and the relief experienced
by the communities that have adopt-
ed It, not only by Increased economy
of government, but also by the sim-
plifying of political method, have pro-
duced a strong tendency In Texas to-
ward further experimentation In the
direction of governmental efficien-
cy," says the Baltimore News. "When
It. 1s found beneficial In city govern-
ment to sweep away a multiplicity of
elective offices and to concentrate
power and responsibility in a small
representative body, the suggestion
naturally presents Itself, why not 'ad-
opt the same method In state govern-
ment. People's thoughts are turning
In that direction, and propositions are
advanced that are widely at variance
with traditional theory.'* This ques-
tion has been propounded more than
once by the Galveston-Dallas News,
nnd therp has been added the argu-
ment In favor of cutting down even
the membership of the state legisla-
ture at least one-half. It would be a
good thing to do. It would tend to
give us a public service cast upon bus-
iness lines.—Galveston News,
The Galveston commission plan
works like a charm, for It works with
the fewest number of agents. Other
things being equal, the simpler a thing
Is the more effective. It. is true of
the machinery of government as the
machlnerv of the loom or the mill.
Galveston has reduced the number of
her municipal officers to the minimum
and In so doing has reduced friction
and expense, and neglect to the mini-
mum also. What the Individual mem-
bers of the commission might them-
selves tell as to the inside workings
of that commission, that is another
matter, but there Is no dodging the
fact that the commission, solely on
account of Its being the less numerous
body Is preferably the most efficient.
Some of these days the commission
will be superseded by a general man-
ager for the whole corporation and
then municipal government will be m
nerfect harmony.—Ban Antonio

editors of a great New York newspa-

The reporter went to the dinner,

intoxicated on Sunday.
