Berton Braley today took up the cudgels for the creator of “Mul vaney,” and thus brought on a poetry duel, recalling the famous in terchange between William Watson and Richard Lo Galliene, when Watson, with his: “She is not old, she is not young, the woman with the serpent’'s tongue,” made a veiled attack on the wife of Premier Asquith, Kemp wrote this TO KIPLING Vile singer to the bloody deeds of empire And of bravery that exploits the poor, Exaiter of subservience to masters, Bard of the race that bound and robbed the Boer, We note your metaphors that shine and glisten, it underneath your sounding verse we see The exploitation and the wide corruption, The lying and the vice and misery.

We hear your notes of thin and strident clamor, We see you whirl in wild and dervish giee, Shrilling at Kipling, and we look upon you, Saying in wonder, “Oooinelleishe?” Not always does the master sing his noblest; Sometimes he carols In a dreary style— But who are you, you cheap and tawdry bardlet, To hint him servile or to call him “vile”?

DVERTISING which leaves women out of consideration is simpiy a waste of time, space and money. Ditto, advertising directed to her attention that is not saturated with newsiness, consistency and common sense. Women respond to advertising more from a sense of acquaintanceship with and confidence in the advertiser rather than in the spirit of speculation Fortunate indeed the merchant who ns the interest of the women of the community in his institution along with their confidence. The truth about the mer- chandise will be sufficient. If it is necessary to tell anything else about the goods in order to sell them, better change the goods. It is much easier to do that than to change an adverse opinion in the mind of one woman if there is cause for it, let alone a whole community of them, and in the long run less expensive. is Omnivorous readers of advertising and natural born bargain hunters, women are keener to sense deception in advertising than men, to prove all things and hold fast that which is good, and to require a strict accounting for any discrepancy between promise and fulfillment To gain and hold the confidence and patronage of women a commercial institution should avoid advertising that is of such a character as to in- vite breach of promise troubles. A certain wise man of old, who had made wonderfully comprehensive observations of womankind, gave a straight tip to twentieth century advertisers and ad-writers when he recorded of the average woman that “she looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness.” mn A woman generally knows to her entire satisfaction whether the thing which she buys in response to advertising—the real value as well as the selling price—are as represented before letting go of the coin and completing the transaction sought to be eftected by the advertiser , Even bank advertising has undergone a wonderful evolution in the few ‘years since some astute banker somewhere—may have been Reno—announced in the papers that his bank maintained savings and check account departments for women At that time, and it has been but a few years, only men were supposed to have sense enough to transact business with one of those mysterious institutions known as banks. It is doubtful if general bank advertising would ever have developed to its present status had the idea of advertising bank facilities for service to womankind never been born, That saying, “silence is golden’—the invention of a clever rogue who wanted to do all the talking himself apply to advertising, or the big advertisers through- out the civilized world would long ago have become paupers. It is those who keep the facts about their business in its relationship to every day human service and house- hold requirements a carefully guarded secret who are apprehensive that some day they may have to face the referee in bankruptcy a 7 Therefore let no one hesitate, if his business be legitimate, lawful and right, to let the light of truthful, consistent, newsy publicity shine through media most habitually scanned by the discriminating eye of intelligent, enlightened, emancipated, twentieth century womankind Win her interest, acquaintance and confidence and you win suc cess. If the rock is-thick and hard, the more energy must be expemded to break it. If the first blow fails it must be followed with another, and another, and another, It is the last blow that counts does not Compiled under the direction of the Educational Committee, Seattle Ad Club.
