'WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1928 POWER OF ADVERTISING Beyond all question the most potent crea- .tor of business demands is the newspaper advertisement, Millions upon millions of "dollars are expended every day in the stores of the country because well written adver- 'tisements have directed public attention to convenient, becoming, attractive, useful, ornamental and suitable merchandise, The sale of all necessities, all luxuries, all in- - dulgences, is more powerfully stimulated by the newspaper advertisement than by any other agency, Only hunger, cold and naked- ness are comparable to the advertisement - @8 a promoter of sales----and even purchases * of food, fuel and clothing are directed more , largely by the business columns of the press * than by any other influence except immedi- ate necessity. , The largest stores in our greatest cities - have been built up by their advertising, * their persistent and clever invitation to the public in the press to share in their bar- gains, Imagine what would happen to daily " sales of merchandise, real estate, theatre tickets, insurance, books and other things, ' if newspaper advertisements were prohibit.

Bit of Verse WHERE THE NORTH BEGINS You tell me you're a stranger: | From lands that lie afar, = You ask me where the: North begins And what its boundaries are, The North is not an area, & It's not 8 piece of land, . The North's a spirit and a life, Which you must understand, Up where the handclasp's stronger, Far from the city dins, Up where the smile' lasts longer, That's where the North begins. Up where the sun shines brighter, Where worries easily end, Up where the snow lies whiter, You're in the North, my friend, Where every man's a fighter, And no one quits the game, Where the bond of .friendship's tighter, And honor's more than fame, Where you feel the fresh wind blowing pine woods clean and pure, you find the trout streams flowing 're in the North, for sure, :i3 g hearts are aching, men walk broke, orld's still in the making, hearts carry hope. 13 dt fellows don't mind giving, #sk not creed or name, s fun of life is living, worth the game, the camp at daylight, was breaking forth, your deer at twilight? you've really known the North, piel the bacon frying, where the big trout swims, without half-trying? where the North begins. Bef fh ; \. --By Rev. E. C. Hunter. -- NOT SEVERE oven, i (Mail and Empire) Hotelling, the who murdered Dovothy Schneider, has been sentenced to life imp-'s- onment at hard labor in solitary confinement, The punishment was as severe as it could be made, and in effect worse than death. if ecar- ried out, but the judge declared that the details of the murder '"'a!- most convince me we should have capital punishment in this State" Capital punishment has been abolished in ten States of the Un- fon, and their example has un- doubtedly tended to modify convie- tons in other States. The fear of death seems not as great and widespread a deterrent as it once was, and 'this is one of the rea- sons for the Increase of erime which causes concern to thought- ful people in the United States. We have a few men in Canada accused of crimes as heinous as that confessed by Hotelling, and if they are convicted they should be sentenced to death and the sent- ence should be carried out, Life for life is as good a law as It was in the days of Moses, THAT OLD HANDSHAKE (Fromy the St. Catharines--8tan- dard) The Kingston Whig-Standard. commenting on infury sustained to his hand by President Coolidge, rs a result of too much hand-shakine asks when will people leave off expecting notable peonle to submit to this and sungests that a *cour- teous bow will do Just as well." Whereat, the contentious Strotford Nearon-Hera'd remerks: *"Wron~. brother, you're wrone. That hand shake is part and pareel of po!'t cal life: usa~e has made it so, on" the habits of generations can't be dropped like woollen socks In spring." There have heen many men nwe their success fn public life to the manner in which they shook hende of friends and those whom thev met, Sir John A, Macdonald wa- a pastmaster in the art, and there are many men still living who re- member with pride how they shook hands with the old chief- tain, Senator John H, Fisher, of Paris, *handshook'" himself for several terms, into the Ontario Legislature, and later "handshook" the late Hon. William Paterson out of publie life. There is no donht that the genial Senator got into the Senate by the same mnrethod, because he never could make a serious speech, The most popular man in the British Empire, the Prince of Wales, Is an adept at the cordial handshake, and there is a wide difference, something which is felt in the heart, in the manner In which certain peonle grasp your hand, The politictan who hes g "lammy, perfunctory wav of shak- in? hands with a constituent had boiter practice up a better ap- preach, He loses, And fit might be remerked In pessing that ex-Mayor Jacob Smith, the men who bro'e all mayoralty term records for this city, poseses- ses the art to an unusual degree.

THAT MELLOR CAS™ (From the J{n~ston Whig Stan- dard) The Toronto Teleram fin the course of a three-column artic'e zeverelv condemns the lizht sent- ence given by Jud~e Mclean of Picton in the Mellor cese. and compares it with a sentence of ten vears and thirty leshes given to "Bob" Cook at Orangeville, In nr similar case. In commenting on the editorial eriticism Attorney- General Price says: "All that the Crown eould dn was to prosecute. The Crown did co, apd the man was found gullty. The question of santence fis one for the judge. He had the oppor- tunity eof giving him five years and he gave him the equivalent of about 18 months There is no re- view of the judge's discretion When the case was first brought up the Crown felt that the disposi- tion of it was inadequate, and laid a more gerious charge, which in- voived preof back over three years.

The case was Michigan man The case, tried, the best counsel employed, and Mellor was found guilty. The court sentenced the prizomer. The Attorney-General's Department has done everything it could." Evidently there is a difference between the sentences ¢f a county judee and those of a magistrate While the Attorney-General savs he is unable to interfere with the sentence of Judse Mclean, did he not recently ask for the resiena- tion of a magistrate in Lindsay, and was mot one of the reasons given that he was dissatisfied with the sentence given im a case by Magistrate Pradford?

One obvious explanation is the nroximity of the United States.
