THE REMEDY FOR “HARD TIMES” Rlchnrd Lee, vice-president of the advi finn of Lord & 'Thomas, Chicago, has beer nesota making a few public talks and in'each he suggested a remedy for “hard times.” w'Says Mr. Lee, and he_has qualified as an expert whose. adVice is WOPEH having:” “A solution of our troubles of today is modern marketing carried on through advertising. There does not exist what ‘people choose to .call ‘hard times’—it is nnthmg but a lack of buy‘ing “spirit, and you owe it to yourself and your business to cor- | rect this.” 'Make people want to buy and they will buy, and we will have activity where before there was stag- Tintipn, was the thought put over by Mr. Lee, who cited many instances of how advertising has’ stnn- ulated tr. to the good' of 'all’ concerned. E . “Advertis as we know it,” said Mr. Lee, “is conparativ new, being but 26 years old.’ Ours is'the only nation in the world that knows how to advert It has mot come by accident but be- cause it is an absolute necessity. We’ believe in a lu‘h standard of living and to. cantinue we ‘must use advertising as an economic means of contact betwgen buyer and seller that we may continue to “kekp ahepd of other nations in production. “Advertising metbods have changed from the d‘y} ‘when every ad for saddlerly had to have the pq'ture of a horse. And those funny little men bu-once saw decorating the pages of the newspa- have gone! Instéad, we have' progressed in el fiverfiuing which aerves a real need fin the cum- ,mumty. : /(“There is nothing mysterious about ldvemsmz It is just plain salesmanship. Every newspaper copy is a salesman and just as the virile:salesman ~has an individuality, so has the copy of -a mews- "paper.” Advertising, Mr. Lee explained, saved flw raisin industry of the United States. to select a suitable swan song. At the meeting, someone suggested that perhaps ndverlning “would help.” The suggestion awakened interest and - "zue only $700 for advertising could be raiged,) |, t much was used in placing effective cbpy, with the result that the campaign grew and grew beyond - the most fervid hapes of the mast optimistic. . +'The slogan, “keep the school-girl complexian;” his resulted in one soap company selling ‘one of E three bars of the total toilet soap compump- %fl of the nation, according to figures pmented Mr. Lee. You simply can’t get away frem the' fact that’ elligent advertising, persistently placed, is g de generating force that pays dividends as few ‘oflier investments can be made to pay.

'Not that Church didn't as Yichly deserve the most severe punishment possible, providing he was not men- *tally incompetent, as gny. pgiminal ever did, but because Church refused to eat and was so nearly dead on the day of execution that he had to be car- ried .to the gallows, being. hanged from a chair. The spectacle of choking to death a man already half dead apparently is hot relished by the public of Illineis. ’ Often the remark is made, “If, when a man is sent to prison for life, he is kept, there and is not pampered and petted and pardnned there ‘wouldn’t be such a demand for capital punishment.” It’s a poor argument. Becnuae some guilty men do get’ their freedom when they shouldn’t doesn’t - justify the greater wrong of dlng]mg a man on the end of a rope, burning him with electricity, smoth- ex*ng hlm with gas, or as theéy' do in France, chop- " ping his’ head off. That tnkmg a human life is a bad business is il- lustrated by the fact thaf always there, is an ‘effort to make “more humane the executions.’ ~Elec- trocution was regarded as a step in the right di- rection. Now Ne ~by-the -eondemned man is locked in & room and some time or other, when he may least expect it, the room is flooded with odorless lethal gas which: kills its victim without warning. Ralph Wheelock ‘of ‘the ‘Minsesota State Board of Control,. without énte_ring'into the argument for _or against capital’ pumshmerit, suggests that if a man is to be execited that a scheme be perfected whereby the condémned ‘man fumue'l! can, be made to bring about his own destruction. 8o it goes, and the more it is discussed, the more - apparent it bseomes that penal servitude, rigidly enforced, is a!ter,vill the most humane and effec- tive means for dealing with dangerous crumnals, giving greater insurance of geiting convictions where convictions are deserved and reducing to a minimum the success of: the ever-popular “insanity . dodge,” §—% Within a week Bemidji will be cleaned up, for the summer.
