'..- To catch butterflies
you must reach out after
‘better than a handbill in
> catching business. It is
the net that counts.
The net is the news-
paper. This reaches out
to all the people and
scoops them in. Experi-
ence of several génera-
tions has shown that the
newspaper is the best
- businesg-bringer.
Take, for instance,
this paper. (Most peo-
ple take it) An an-
nouncement in this pa-
per goes into the homes
of the people whom you
must reach if you get
the business you are
after.
There is, indeed, a very much larger net that 8COOps in

BILLY SUNDAY.
5,000 people in Los Angeles, and fol-
lowing are some of the things he said,
among which are great truths that no
man can get away from, reason and
argue as he will:
“I am the sworn, uncompromising
enemy of the liquor business. I am
not against the dealers, but against
tanned and made into a big bass drum.
Then T want her to go about beating
that drum and declaring: ‘My hus-
band still lives. He hasn’t quit fight-
ing the liquor traffic.
“T challenge any man to show one bit
of benefit that has accrued from the
liquor business. Whisky is all right in
its place, but its place is in hell, just as
quickly as you can get it there. I defy
any man to show me a community
where they have saloons where the rate
of taxation is lighter than in a ‘dry’
town. There is just one prime reason
why the saloons have not been knock-
ed into hell, and that is the false state-
ment that they are needed to help
lighten the taxes. The saloon business
has never paid. It has cost fifty times
more for the saloon than for the reve-
nue derived from it.
“In New York City, at Five Points,
there is a spot that was as near like
hell as any spot on earth, There are
five streets that run to this point, and
ers and the churches and the schools.
Give me back my boys?’
“One hundred and ten thousand men
die drunkards every year—twelve per
hour, 300 per day. One man will
throw his hands to his head and his
life will go out like a burnt match,
Another will ery, ‘Mother! Mother!
and stagger into hell. Another will
leap in front of a train; another will
Advertising.
The expense accounts of the Cone
nellsville candidates point a moral con-
cerning legitimate political advertising
properly placed, which is to say in the
newspapers.
The candidates who advertised most
liberally got the most liberal majori-
ties.
This was not a mere circumstance.
It is a rule which has held good on
former occasions, and which is gener-
ally infallible. Shrewd politicians per-
ceived the value of newspaper cam-
paign advertising some time ago, and
the fact that more and more of it is
done from year to year is sufficient
evidence of the fact that it has demon-
strated its usefulness. .
Political advertising in the newspa-
pers is worth more to a candidate than
any other kind of printer’s ink, and
certainly a great deal more than money
spent on “workers” who do not work,
and that species of dishonest politicians

None of the Acts above cited contain:
repealing clauses, and are, therefore, all
in force where not in conflict with one
another. Wherefore, the Acts taken
together, provide for the burial, at the
expense of the county, of the body of
any honorably discharged poor soldier,
sailor, or marine who served in the
army or navy of the United States dur-
ing any of the nation’s wars.
By the Act of 1908, the county may
pay a sum of fifty dollars to bury a
poor soldier, sailor, or marine who-
served in the army or navy of the
Urited States during the late rebellion:
or any preceding war.
