Fake Advertising.
In defining today more clearly
than ever before what constitutes
dishonest advertising
through the mails, the supreme
court held in effect that advertisers,
even though they give
purchasers value received for
their money, are guilty of fraud
if by exaggerated advertising
propaganda they have led clients
to expect more, relates a Washington
dispatch of April 24.
Officials declare the decision will
pave the way to scorces of
prosecutions and make possible
the enforcement of a much more
stringent federal supervision of
mail advertising.
The opinion was announced by
Justice McKenna, reversing the
district court in the southern
district of Florida, which quashed
an indictment against officials
of the New South Farm and
Home company. The indictment
charged unlawful use of the
mails in selling ten acre farms.
The Florida court held that if a
purchaser received the money's
worth, exaggerated propaganda
was not fraudulent. Justice
McKenna took the position that
it was an offense if the article
sold did not serve the purpose
represented, no matter what the
value might be.
In discussing what constituted
a criminal offense under the
statute .governing the use of the
mails, Justice McKenna said:
"Mere 'puffing' might not be
within its meaning (of this,
however, no opinion need be
expressed), that is, the mere
exaggeration of the qualities
which the article has; w.hen a
nronnsprt spllpr trnps hpvnnd thnt
and assigns to the article qualities
which it does not possess,
does not simply magnify the
advantage which it has, and
falsely invests it with advantages
and falsely asserts their
existence, he transcends the
limits of 'puffing' and engages
in false representations and pretenses.
"When the pretenses or representations
or promises which
execute the deception and fraud
are false they become the
scheme or artifice which the
statute denounces. Especially
is this true in the purchase of
small tracts for homes."
The case against the Florida
company goes back to the
Florida court for further proceedings.
Life.
Man comes into this world
without his consent and leaves
against his will. During his stay
on earth, his time is spent in the
continuous round of contraries
and misunderstandings. In his
infancy he is an angel; in his
boyhood he is a devil; in his
manhood he is everything from
a scoundrel up; in his duties he
is a ignoramus; if raises a
family he is a chump; if he raises
a check he is a thief, and then
the law raises him; if he is a
poor man he is a poor manager
and has no sense; if he is rich
he is dishonest but he is considered
smart; if he is in politics I
he is a grafter and a crook; if he
is out of politics you can't place
him as he is an undesirable i
citizen; if he goes to church he
is a hypocrite; if he stays away 1
he is a sinner; if he donates to
foreign missions he does it for
show; if he doesn't he is stingy,
and a tightwad. When he first
comes into this world everybody
wants to kiss hin>?before he
goes out they all want to kick ,
him out. If he dies young there:
was a great future before him. !
Life is a funny proposition after
all. ?Selected.

In a vigorous fashion Senator
B. R. Tillman Friday afternoon
expressed his satisfaction at the
decision of the South Carolina supreme
court in upholding the
constitutionality of the anti-eomi
pact fire insurance law, says a
1
rj* 4. ' r i I . >.
Washington news despatch. He
does not believe the lawyers in
the case will appeal to the United
States supreme court "unless j
those behind them have got more
money than sense."
With lively terms the Senator
condemned the practices adopted
by the Southeastern Tariff association
in charging what he described
as "unnecessarily high
rates." He charged that the association
robbed our people of
i large sums of money since the
war.
The suit was inspired largely, !
he charged, "by those newspa- I
pers of the State which are capitalistic
in their policies."
When his attention was directed
to the decision of the court,
he made the following statement:
4'I have for a long time thought
that the Southeastern Tariff association
was imposing on our
people and charging them unnecessarily
high rates?and that they
have robbed our people of large
sums of money since the war.
4,Like other New York capitalists
they think the country people
have no rights they are bound
to respect?and they think all except
New Yorkers are country
people.
"They have arbitrarily raised
rates without any reason and in
every possible way shown that
they were looking out for their (
own interests and did not care a
damn about the people who were
insured with them."

~ STUNG!
Mr P. L. Wagner, assistant
superintendent of the Millfort
Mill, says:
"For nearly 15 years I carried
$1,000 life insurance in one of
the fraternal orders at a cost of
$16.56 per year. A short while
ago I received notice that hereafter
my premium woud be
$28.32 per year. I declined to
pay it and have taken a policy in
the Union Central Life in which
I find that my net premium at
the end of the first year will be
$27.25 for $1,000 not including
premium lor disability benefits.
1 find that if 1 had taken a policy
in the Union Central at the
time I took the fraternal policy,
my last premium would have
been $14.80 and the policy would
now have a cash value of $158.00
if I decided t<> drop it. In the
case of the fraternal i>olicy, I
have nothing to show for all the
years of payment while my advanced
age makes mv premium
in the old line company cost me
$12.20 per $1,000 more than it
would have cost tne 15 years ago,
I have been stung, all right."
Travel "Old Line." It is the
safest and cheapest. Begin
when vou are young and accumulate
from year to year
against the day of disaster. Let
