CONFIDENCE VITAL
FACTOR IN SUCCESS
By WILLIAM C FREEMAN
My old friend Victor H Hanson
publisher of the' Birmingham News
was recently banqueted by over 100
representatives of tbe big business In
terests In his home city because of
the work that be and bis paper have
done and are doing for the community
Mr Hanson made a heart-to-heart
wholesome speech on this occasion
treating of newspaper making gener-
ally — the duties and responsibilities
of the editor and publisher and then
had this to say about' advertising:
Advertising In a good newspaper Is
profitable advertising If you have
something to sell you can go to a job
printer and have a lot of bills struck
off and distribute them around town
That is advertising In the crude state
Put Uie same matter In any kind of a
newspaper and that is advertising In a
more advanced and effective form In-
sert tbe same copy 'n a newspaper
that goes Into tbe home with a bold
upon the affections of the family cir-
cle and that is ADVERTISING IN
THE HIGHEST STAtE
As time goes on and the confidence
and esteem of the reader attach them-
selves to the paper THE HABIT OF
READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS
In that paper becomes fixed and an
advertising medium is established
Tbe subtle forces that enter into
the establishment of a paper as a pa-
per In which ads are read are perfect-
ly well recognized In the newspaper
business It is not necessary every
time you stand up for the right in
your newspaper to pollute your action
with the thought that you are going to
get paid for It In the long run It Is
enough to have a serene conviction
that IF YOU RUN YOUR PAPER
RIGHT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A
SQUARE DEAL the counting-room
will take care of Itself
And he said this other thing about
newspapers:
THE CONFIDENCE OF THE
READER IS A VITAL FACTOR IN
NEWSPAPER SUCCESS I regard
the Intelligent and faithful perform-
ance of the primary function of pub-
lishing the news as 90 per cent of tbe
whole profession or science of news-
paper publishing Accuracy and a
sense of proportion and responsibility
belong to this Item I think that one
of tbe greatest Injuries suffered by
modern journalism comes to It
through lack of a full sense of the re-
sponsibility that there Is upon the
newspaper and the newspaper man
Mr Hanson Is determined that his
newspaper shall stand for news that
Is reliable and tbe printing of adver-'
tisements that can be believed In
From reports that come to me
about the Birmingham News It Is
forging to the front rapidly because
of the practice of Its Ideals The aver-
age newspaper publisher Is giving
more serious thought than he ever
did to tbe responsibility placed upon
him so far as tbe publication of a
reliable newspaper Is concerned

Political Advertising
Candidates for political offices are
now being convinced that newspaper
advertising is the best kind of pub-
licity they can get Norman Mack
chairman of the Democratic national
central committee has the following
to say concerning publicity in news-
papers: "I can truthfully say that the
only way to promote a political cam-
paign nowadays la to advertise In the
dally newspapers
"I would spend 60 per cent of all
tbe campaign fund for newspaper ad-
vertising Should I ever run a cam-
paign again I would employ this meth-
od for It Is the only way The gum-
shoe method la passed and newspaper
advertising hereafter will be regarded
as the keynote of success"
According te Schedule
William T Lewis tbs well-known
automoblllst was talking lately about
the 25000-mlle automobile trip he
had Just made In Europe
“One sees Europe In an automo-
bile" be said "One really sees It
Some tourists don't you know
“Once In Florence I was standing
on the bridge over tbe Arno drinking
In the beauty or tbe old Italian city
when a half-dozen American tourists
drew near at a quick walk
“They hurried by me every now
and then consulting their watches
end as they passed I overheard this
conversation:
“‘Well Florence la all right sure!"
“ 'Florence T'
“Why yesl This Is Florence ain't
itr
“ 'Of course not This la Venice'
“‘Oh go onl It’s Monday any-
how and Monday's Florence Wednes-
day's Venice'”
Why Newspaper Advertising Is Beat
In an addresa Thomaa Dockrell the
New York advertising counael re-
cently told the Detroit Ad club why
the newapaper la the beat medium
"It'a all common sense” he said
"How can a manufacturer put hla ad-
vertising appropriation Into maga-
zines supplying the same copy for allT
There la a terrible waste and an
anormoua duplication With the news-
paper he can go where he wants and
If he does hla placing systematically
there la never duplication

vanian has patented a fan In the shape
of a human face with a tongue that

SUCCESS AND FAILURE
Good Advertising Means Mora Than
Newspaper Publicity — Drones
and Workers
v As a rule if a newspaper prints a
talk on advertising the reader takes
It for granted - the newspaper la
“boosting" Its own wares Its advertis-
ing space Newspaper advertising al-
though the most far reaching Is not
the only successful means of adver-
tising and tbe subject of advertising
one’s business can be profitably dis-
cussed without laying too much stress
on the newspapers as the proper me-
dium Over 60 per cent of tbe business en-
terprises started In this country fall
This assertion may seem astounding
but look back over tbe history of near
ly any city for the past five years As
you go down the street try to remem-
ber wbat business occupied this and
that room a few years ago You will
be astonished by the results of your
investigation
Of those business establishments
that manage to survive only about
half do a really profitable business
This does not mean that business has
been Black It simply means that bus-
iness men like those of all other
cities are divided Into two Classes the
drones and the workers Tbe work-
er’s place Is known throughout the
Country whereas the drone's place of
business Is known to only a few
friends of the owner The live busi-
ness man has a neat display window
well lighted and keeps tbe freshest
stock on display tbere When you
come inside the door you will find
e-erything neat It does not cost
money to keep the place looking spick
and span — Just a little work When he
shows you his stock you are convinced
that his window display and his news-
paper assertions have not lied to you
and you trust him Also his service
Is of the best His clerks are well
dressed and courteous He pays them
good salaries for he can afford to
do so You see this merchant’s name
on billboards throughout the county
he sends you a letter every now Bnd
then calling attention to bis stock In
trade and every day be tells you bis
story In a neat looking newspaper ad-
vertisement j
The drone on the other hand al-
though he may be able to make a
living records no growth In his busi-
ness as the years go on Hls display
window Is dusty and the goods he dis-
plays have been seen tbere for
months Hls store Is dark and has
hardly enough business to keep one
clerk aotive Outside tbe name on the
front you know nothing about bis
business He may have many things
that you want but he has never told
you so for advertising costs too
much hence he has mot got your
trade and has but little chance of
getting It He may spend a dollar
or two now and then on a newspaper
ad but If bis store Is not filled with
customers the next day be tells you
that be can see no good In advertis-
ing John Wanamaker took Jn $2467 on
bis first day in business He kept the
67 cents and spent tbe balance In ad-
vertising itbe next day Wanamaker
was no reckless scbemer He simply
had enough business acumen to re-
alize tbat you cannot get business
without publicity
ADVERTISING IN ' ENGLAND
Does Not Produce the Results Ob-
tained in This Country— Rates
Are High (
A D Lasker managing director of
tbe Lord ft Thomaa agency of Chicago
who arrived In New York recently
from England where he baa spent
some time in studying advertising con-
ditions has this to say about tbe sit-
uation: Advertising In England has not
shown sufficiently profitable returns to
warrant a greater outlay for publicity
that Is now apparent and the news-
papers of course are as great losers
by this lack of understanding as the
advertisers themselves
If English producers and merchants
would adopt similar methods to the
American and pay big money to first-
class men advertising would quickly
tell a different story than It does at
present Of course 1 know that adver-
tising rates are high In England but
the right kind of advertising would be
profitable Profitable advertising would
mean more of it and more advertis-
ing would bring down the rates
"I believe that newspapers make
the best medium for publicity of all
kinds because they reach a wider
field and results are quicker More-
over newspapers exercise a certain
supervision over their advertising col-
umns and censor anything that may
be fraudulent in character"
Our Commercial Age
Joe Mitchell Chappie the magazine
editor said In an eloquent after-dinner
speech In Houghton:
"This Is a commercial age We try
to make our magazines artistic but if
we make them too artistic they be-
come Icbs valuable It Is like poor
Whistler
"When Whistler was living In the
Latin quarter In his youth a friend
took him to task one day for his Idle-
ness “‘Why dont you pitch In and paint
somethlngT' said the friend ‘Pretty
soon your money will be all gone and
those three rolls of canvas will be
standing empty there behind tbe door
Just as they've been standing for tbe
last six weeks)' ’
"Whistler as be lay on the bed
smoking bis pipe answered lazily:
“‘But you see as long as there's
nothing on tbe canvas I can sell It’ ’

Hour for Senator’s Death Had

Senator Duncan U Fletcher of Flor-

sleeping car on the way south from
Washington Pulling back the cur-'
tains of a lower nine he saw tbat bis
bed was already occupied
"Hi therel" called the senator
shaking the stranger by the shoulder
The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily
“My name's Fletcher" explained
the statesman “and this is my berth”
"You’ve got nothing on me” an-
swered tbe other “My name's Fletch-
er and this Is my oerth”
“My full name Is Duncan U Fletch-
er” the senator elaborated
"Bo's mine” agreed the intruder
“Ah I see” said tbe senator po-
litely “There must have been a mis-
take in reserving tbe same berth for
two men of the same name “I’ll go
into the next sleeping car”
The stranger by this time was fully
awake and proceeded to apologize
and to offer to give up the berth This
tbe senator would not do but went
into tbe car ahead and found a place
to sleep
An hour later the train was wreck

occupied the lower nine fell through

killed The senator’s car was not

We Get a
- The big coffee trust made up of Brazilian
growers and American importers has been trying
various tactics to boost the price of coffee and get
more money from the people '
Always the man who is trying to dig extra
money out of the public pocket on a combination
hates the man who blocks the game
Now comes a plaintive bleat from tbe “exas-
perated” ones
The Journal of Commerce lately said: “A stir-
ring circular has just been issued to the coffee
trade” The article further says:
“The coffee world is discussing what is to be
the future of coffee as a result of the campaign
of miseducation carried on by the cereal coffee
people We have before us a letter from one of
the largest roasters in the South asking what loan
he done to counteract the work of the enemies
of coflee
“The matter should have heen taken up by
the' Brazilian Gov’t when they were completing
their beautiful valorization scheme”
Then the article proceeds to de-
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy because we have pub-
lished facta regarding the effect of
coffee on some people
The harrowing tale goea on
"Where a few years ago every-
body drank coffee several cups a
day now we find in every walk in
life people who Imagine they can-
not drink It (The underscoring Is
ours) Burly blacksmiths carpen-
ters laborers and athletes have dis-
continued or cut down the use of
coffee as there la not a person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among bla own circle of acquaint-
ances la It not well fer the Brazil-
ians to sit up and take notice?”
Isn't it curious these "bur-
ly” strong men should pick out oof-
fee to ’‘Imagine" about? Why not
‘imagine’’ that regular doses ef
whiskey are harmful or dally alugs
of morphine?
If “Imagination" make the caf-
feine In coffee clog the liver de-
press the heart and steadily tear
down the nervoua ayatem bringing

Let ua continue to quote from bis
article
“Notwithstanding the enormous
Increase in population during the
past three years coffee shows an
appalling decrease In consumption"
Then follows a tiresome lot of
statistics which wind up by show-
ing a decrease of consumption In
two years of In round figures two
hundred million pounds -—

tacks on us and the Brasilian
