The Abilene Reporter would destroy

Our enterprising and breezy little

"It is a mistake, however, to depend
upon such things in these times for the
continuance of a prosperous business.
There are too many young, enthusias-
tic, hustling competitors in the field.
These worrisome young folks have
built their business upon good advertis-
ing and hard work. They handle just
as good goods as any body else, and
they mean to make that faot known,
and to ponnd it in npon the public.
They have the advantage of more mod-
ern up-to date methods in every de-
partment of their work. These young-
sters are bound, in time, to get the bus-
ineee of the conservatives unless the
latter turn over a new leaf and adopt
the methods of good advertising and
other progressive methods, which are
becoming so oommon and so important
factors nowadays.”

The Denver Times, the ablest and
brightest Republican newspaper in
Colorado is trying to cajole ex-Senator
Teller into returning into the Republi-
can party. It tries to persnade Mr.
Teller he believes the silver question
will not be an issue this year. Bat the
Republican party has wandered so far
from the principles of Republicanism
Mr. Teller can find nothing in it now to
endorse.
An Albuqnerque paper complains
that a number of girls in that city, who
are still in short dresses, are going to
the bad, and that unscrupulous young
men and old ones are showing these
girls the rood to ruin. If parents will
permit their little daughters to parade
the streets all day and be ont after dark
flirting wiih libertines, those parents
themselves are responsible for the in
evitable downfall and shame of their
children.
8an Antonio has a hoochee-coochee

ordered the naughty oriental maiden to
move on. Two of the aldermen also
went on reoord as opposed to snake
charming. Snakes twice a year is as fre-
quent as they care to see reptiles. Be

always reminds them of that incident

In a recent issue of the Patent
Record Charles A. Bates, a recognized
authority on advertising, says:
“Men who have studied advertising,
or have secured the services of those
who have made a study and a business
of it, have educated the public np ..o a
point where it demands the "reason
why” for everthing. Good advertising
not only mentions the articles which is
offered, but it describes as fully as pos
sible, and, more than that, tells exactly
why it is better than anything else of
the kind. People have become aoous
tomed daring the last few years to this
sort of advertising. They will know the
' why.” They want to know jnst the
reason why they are expected (o buy
one article in preference to another,
and nnless that information is given
them they remain nnoonvinced.
‘Now, every article that is made must
have something to recommend it above
competing articles of the same kind.
It mnst possess new Improvements pe
cnliarly its own, or be stronger, or fas
ter, or do its work better, or oost less
money, or something. Otherwise it has
no excuse for living, and will be killed
off.
B’ The way to sell yonr article is not
only to tell what it is, and what it does,
but to give, clearly, forcibly and con
vincingly the reason why it should be
bongbt in preference to anything else.
Yon must go into details, and give faots
and figures. The plain statement that
yonr mnohine, or whatever you make is
better, or does better work, means noth
ing; that is a statement that anybody
can make. Probably most of yonr com
petitors have already made it time and
again. Yon mnst back up your faots by
minute details whioh carry proof and
conviction. In other words, yon most
state ‘why.’
‘‘In olden times when no one did this
it was unnecessary for anybody to do it,
bat now that there are so many adver
tisers who give the reason ‘why.’ it be
comes necessary for everyone to do it,
or to lag behind , and eventually fall
out of the raoe.
“There are a great many manufac-
turers, of oonrse, whose reputation for
making the beat goods in their line and
News from Washington indicates
that administration officials are very
mnoh annoyed because “a meddlesome”
representative of the people in congress
has instituted an inquiry into the mat-
ter of paying double salaries to govern-
ment officials in Cnba. The Washing
ton torrespondent of the Houston Post
says:
Officials of the war department and
the administration are finding it very
difficult to furnish a satisfactory ex-
planation of the enstom of doubling,
without authority from oongrees. and
in violation of the law, the pay of cer-
tain army officials stationed in Cnba.
The discussion of the subject in oon-
grees is embarrassing to them and they
are making every effort to belittle a
serious scandal.
“When General Brooke was governor
general of the island he reoeived $7,500
in addition to his regular pay of $7,500
and $2,000 for allowances. This gener-
osity, unlawful though it was, was con-
tinned after General Wood became the
executive head of the island. General
Lndlow, commanding the department
Havana, has been allowed $6,000 a
year extra, and Collector Bliss $1,800.
Major Ladd is another of the benefi-
oiaries of this surprising ontom.
When Brooke was governor gener-
he appeared on the streets of
Havana in ooetly and magnificent equip
ages drawn by gaily caprisoned horses,
and was attended by gorgeonsly attired
footmen and finnkies. Instead of im-
buing the people with wholesome ideas
of Amerioan democracy and simplicity,
he imitated the haughty and aristo-
cratic Spanish officials, who were so
cordially hated by the Cubans and
whose regime had jnst been terminated.
“Brooke liyed in all the Bplendor that
General Weyler affected, and to enable
him to do this his pay was doubled at
the expense of the American people.
“The discussion of this subject is
very distasteful and annoying to the
war department and to the Republicans
in congress, for it has brought about
an expose of a lavish and unwarranted
use of public money. ’
The present administration has be-
come thoroughly imbued with the prin-
ciples of imperialism and the idea that
its power is imperial that every mem-
ber of the administration from presi-
dent down to the cheapest department
clerk resent as officious meddlers any
Democrat who demands that the ad-
ministration explain its doings to the
people. “The people be d—n” is in
snbstanoe their reply to any demand
from the people.
Indiana’s yonng jnggler of words.
Senator Beveridge, whose empty, bom-
bastic speech was so ridtonled by Sena-
tor Pettns, denounced as traitors the
mlilions of Amerioan citizens who oan-
not endorse the «dministration’s policy
of imperialism. Mr Beveridge assumes
that himself, the president and their
friends are the government; that the
people have no right to express views
contrary to thoee held by the adminis-
tration.
These intolerant imperialists, we are
told, are now highly indignant beoanse
a representative of the people in con
gress has atked if it is trne officers of
the government in Cnba are drawing
double pay, and if so who authorized
the people’s money to be thus squan-
dered! Does the president fix the sala-
ries of the employes of this govern
ment? On whoee authority did the war
department act in doubling the pay of
certain army officers't The people may
not be the government this year, bat
they will be next year nnless satisfac-
tory answers to these questions are
forthcoming
