A
Flag Day.
NATIVE of Germany, for many
years an honored resident and
citizen of Scranton, a man not
, especially emotional, lately
revisited the scenes of his youth. AVhen
asked what was the most significant
experience that he had while In the
Fatherland, he replied: "In the little
villnge where I was born I saw on June
14, suspended from an upper window,
an American flag. I had not seen one
for weeks. "Will you believe it when I
tell you that the sight of that flag made
the deepest impression on me of any
scene witnessed while I was on the
other side? For two hours I walked
the pavement underneath where it
waved and those two hours of recog
nition' of what that fins had signified
for me were the happiest two hours of
my life."
This incident occurred prior to the
Spanish-American war, when the
American Hag. outside of the larger
cities, was an infrequent spectacle in
Europe. Today there is not a city in
the civilized world In which it is not
known and respected and, by the major
ity of intelligent foreigners, applauded
for the great work that it has done In
behalf of humanity.
Americans have good reason today to.
celebrate Flag Day. The sovereignty
typified by that emblem has widened
enormously' of late'. It literally belts'
the earth,' taking In all zones. And no
where that it floats has the flag de
teriorated'! the meaning that it con
veys to, those beneath its starry folds.
Liberty, equality before the law, pro
tected opportunity for self-advancement,
the uplift of free institutions
under which the greatest problems In
human society are being solved with a
higher -average of enlightenment and
inatcrial'comfort than elsewhere these
are the benefactions coincident with
Old Glory's advance. Well, therefore,
may the, Americanism of Scrantou and
its surrounding community pay tribute
today to'.the birthday of the Stars und
Stripes.

tion It Is evident from the perusal of
our state exchanges that the defeat of
Elkln at Harrlsburg has not endangered
the election of his successful competitor.
The supporters of the former have,
without exception so far as we can
learn, followed his manly example of
prompt acquiescence in the conven
tion's choice.
They are for Judge Pennypacker be
cutisc they are Republicans, to whom
party success is more Important than
individual preferment; ami, because
they are thoroughly committed to the
proposition that the place to decide
differences in ambition Is within party
lines. They are for Judge Pennypacker
also because they have never had other
than the highest respect for his char
acter and ability and, In their prefer
ence for another for the office to which
he Is aspiring, they made no reflection
upon his own high qualifications. They
recognize with pleasure the disposition
ff the judge and of his principal sup
porters to cultivate harmonious rela
tions and are ready, to meet conciliatory
overtures half way.
The future is theirs to make good the
expectations disappointed by Wednes
day's vote and they are content to bide
their time, without prejudice to pres
ent party interests and without any
faltering In the necessary task of ad
ministering to the Democratic party in
November next the worst licking In its
variegated history.

Leonard Wood, while governor of Cuba,
and at the request of the Cuban advis
ers In his cabinet, appropriated $10,000
of Cuban money to pay for the distri
bution of literature in this country
clearing up the misrepresentations of
the opponents of Cuban reciprocity. It
undoubtedly was a great crime. If it
had not been committed the beet sugar
trust might have had things its own
way and nobody would have been sub
stantially the wiser. The opportunities
to censure General Wood have been so
few that it is not surprising that the
Democracy is making the most of this
one.

Washington, Juno 1,5.
EXPORTS OF manufactures show a
decided improvement in tho record
of foreign commerce of the I'nited
States for the- first ten months of
tho present llseal year. The report of tho
treasury bureau of statistics shpwlng the
detailed exports from the United States
by articles during the month of April
and during the ten months eliding with
April shows a marked Improvement in
tho record of manufactures exported. The
exports of ninuuracturos for the month of
April, 1002, are $1,500,000 greater than those
of April of the picccdlng year, being !S,
P(il,::u1, against 'l,llii.2T9 in April, 1901, and
forming 3i!.." per cent, of the total exports
In April, 1902, against 2H.1 per cent, in
April, 1901. For the ten mouths ending
with April tho exports of manufactures
are $."::,S20.S0n, against $.WJ,307,fi for the
corresponding ten months of the preced
ing fiscal year, a reduction of about
J.1,r00.000 for the ten months. This would
Indicate that tho total exports of manu
factures during tho full fiscal year which
ends with the present month will fall lit
tle, if any, below those 6f last year.
An examination of the details of tho
exports shows that the small reduction of
J.1.."iiiO,noo which exists at tho present timo
occurs chiefly In manufactures of Iron and
steel, tho exports of which are JSL'.SSS.IGI,
ngnlnst SKt.S.S, comparing the figures
for ten mouths'o'f this year with those for
the same months of -the preceding year.
Thus the reduction In exports of Iron and
steel manufactures alone. Is much greater
than the net reduction in total exports of
manufactures. Indicating a marked gain
In other classes of manufactures. 'In iron
and steel, however, the figures for thn
month of, April show a marked improve
ment over those for earlier mouths of the
.year, being ?0,"a),(,i.t, against JU.OSI.'.'il in
April, 1001, In Iron iind steel exports the
principal reductions in the ten mouths
occur In pig iron, a decrease of nearly
f.'!,niw,0o0; steel rails, nearly S:.,00n.o0O; and
metal working machinery, nearly $1,000,000.
In other articles of manufacture, which
some months ago showed a marked re
duction, there has been a derided reac
tion and a return of normal conditions.
In manufactures of copper, which during
the early part of the year showed a very
great reduction, the figures for ten
months fall but $:l,00A,0oo below those of
the corresponding months of last year,
while those for the month of April are
nearly .'J.'i.OOO.OOO greater than those for
April. Will. Exports of mineral oil, which
also showed a decrease during the earlier
part of the year In comparison with thn
same mouths of tho preceding year, are
for the ton months ending with April,
lfl02, nearly $8,000.0(10 greater than those of
the same months of 1D01, while the quan
tity exported is about SO.OOO.mM gallons
greater than In tho corresponding months
of tho preceding year. Exports of paraf
fin, which showed a material reduction In
tho early months of the present fiscal
year, are for tho ten months ending with
April. Sl;r,00,(i00 111 excess of those of tho
same months of tho preceding year, Thn
largest Increase, however, is in exports
of cotton goods, which for the ten months
ending with April are , l::ii,.!70, against

Increase In the exports of cotton goods Is
chiefly tn China, to which the exports
were largely suspended In 1001 owing to
the disturbances then eslstmg In that
country, but are also much larger than

I TAKE IT that tho question wo are
considering is the comparative vnluo
of quality and quantity In nuwspnper
circulation tis relating to newspaper
advertising. Tho advertising man, us a
rule,' in n pretty shrewd Individual, and
If ho has had experience Is generally ablo
to Judge correctly those mediums which
produce the best results. As It Is very
dlfliciilt to trace direct results from ad
vertising hi any particular paper, It la
of the utmost Importance that advertisers:
should bo aide to know' what papers best
leach the class of renders who' ore most
opt to become Interested hi tho announce
ments which they make,
Reaching the Buyers,
I would not make light of papers hav
ing largo circulations, but quantity alone
counts for very little. There nro mer
chants' who seek to get Into the homos
by having Inserted Into reputable news
papers their advertisements printed on
separate sheets, and, while largo num
bers of these inserts are thus circulated,
It Is doubtful whether that kind of cir
culation Is of any value whatever. The
advertiser Is seeking the Individual buyer,
not merely tho Individual reader; but the
man who, reading tho paper, has thn
means to become a purchaser, if persuad
ed that ho desires tho article offered for
Bale. Plvo .thousand Indians on the Wcst
drn plains might read an advertisement
of the Sti'lnwny piano nnd not ono would
be sold as a result of that publicity. Ten
thousand factory girls might ho Impressed
with the attractive announcement of
Iirother Daniels' Chicago limited train,
yet not 11 single ticket would bo pur
chased by them. Lord Timothy Dexter
took a cargo of warming pans to the.
West Indies, lie could not sell them. Ho
had taken them to tho wrong place. Ho
did, however, remove the covers and sold
them as sugar scoops. It Is of the ut
most Importance to roach tho people who
can buy. In mopt cases the papers hav
ing tho largest circulation are those
which sell for tho lowest price. It Is but
fair to assume that tho people who buy a
paper because It Is cheap, in the majority
of Instances, nro thoso who arc limited
in their means. They are people who
must have tho necessities of life and not
tho luxuries. The bulk of advertising Is
for tho sale of luxuries and not necessities.
.Different Kinds of Newspapers.
Newspapers are made for the public.
They must cater to the requirements of
every reader. If they do not, they are
without readers. The editors and publish
ers who can best understand the public
wants and meet them nro conductors of
the most successful journals; but no ono
newspaper can meet the requirements of
an entire community any more than ono
religion would suit all cjasses of voters
under Its banner. Different classes of
Individuals require different kinds of
newspapers. As the expert fisherman
knows the klnd.jjf ball to use for tho
particular kind of fish he is angling for,
so tho publisher must know the kind and
quality of paper to make for the constit
uency he is seeking. It Is natural that
every publisher should desire us large a
constituency as possible, but In his anxi
ety for numbers lie may find that he is
gaining in readers among ono class of
people and losing readers from another.
He may add to his. circulation in quan
tity, but ldso In quality. Ho may cntch

After nil, the local advertiser knows

generous amount of quantity.

Fixing Advertising Rates.
I'nduo stress has been placed on the
value of largo circulation; even some of
our good liiends among tho advertising
agents have sought to reduce advertising
to nn exact science and to fix rates for
advertising on the basis of so much pel-'
lino per thousand of circulation. You
cannot measure newspaper advertising as
you do cord wood. Yon cannot, fix rates
that could bo made applicable to all
papers, because conditions aro so differ
ent. An Influential paper of .',000 circu
lation in a small town mlsht be of more
value to nn advertiser than a paper of
ten times that circulation In a largo city.
Tho quality of the paper and tho charac
ter and standing of the people who read
it are factors, in my Judgment, of far
more Importance than tho question of
how many papers are printed,
Who Are the Readers?
It is not su much tho number of papers
which go out of the pressroom which
should bo carefully examined, ns the
fact where those papers go to and who
aro the people who read them. Aro
papery hastily read and thrown away?
Are they purchased to help pass away a
few moments' ride on a car, or aro they
delivered in tliov homes to bo euiofully
read by each member of the family? Aro
they read as wo would read a handbill
or aro they read for information and
Instruction, to become tie source of our
knowledge of contemporaneous life? Tho
higher tho mere literary quality of 11
newspaper, tho smaller will bo its circu
lation. The masses of the people do not
require such a paper nor could they ap
preciate it. It Is not necessary, how
over, for n newspaper to become pedantic
or scholarly tn havo a high grade of ex
cellence, but it is possible for a paper to
bo ubly edited, to be alert and enterpris
ing, carry all tho news, to use .such Illus
trations us will make clearer tho text,
to be up-to-date hi every particular and
yet maintain that high degree of quality
that will bring to it such it lnrgu number
of readers that advertisers will generally
use Its columns and tho revenues of tha
paper will be such that tho best talent
nnd the finest mechanism can bo em
ployed in tho production of It, Yet such
a paper must necessarily bo limited In
circulation, To meet tho requirements of
Its readers It must carry all tho news of
the world and of tho einuit.ry nnd in ad
dition a largo amount or local news, so
ciety events, obituary notices, sports,
movements of bade, politics, religion and
a hundred other subjects In which their
readers nro personally Interested. If
tlmo was eliminated In delivery of such
a Now York paper to Chicago It would
not sell In that city, bocnuso tho local
news that would bo of so great vuluo
hero would bo of no vnluo there.
Quality and Quantity.
Tho paper or quantity can publish an
editorial at 8 o'clock In tho morning at
Now York ami sell In largo uumbors In
tho nfteruoon In ftoston. Tho paper of
quality could not, Tho paper which
makes any protonso whatever to It's qual
ity Is very much restricted, It cannot
print objeotlouublo advertisements, If
It did It would bo debarred lioni tho best
homes. It cannot print advertisements
of fako concerns, because Its readers ex

It cannot make statements reflecting on
