Friday, March 6, 1925 Frederick Kbert, first president of Germany, since Wilhblm was deposed, died in a sanatorium in Berlin Sat urday morning following an opera tion for appendicitis. Kbert rone from the ranks. He was the son of a tailor, became a saddler, then edi tor of a Socialist paper in Bremen; for a short time managed a hotel In the same city, and then cKairman of the executive committer of the Social ist party. Without a "vice presi dent" ready to take tht; chair auto matically a? the head of thv nation, in the United States, there is mtich wonderment as to just whac couvae events will take in the next few ivcejw. I)oe? Advertiniug Pay? Here is some stuff, .credited to the Kansas City Club News, so good??'that is passed on: Advertising has made the Victrola Dog famous. It has put Gaatoria. down your throat, left bristles in your gums, and then came along with a Uubberset and.took them out. It has put Sozodont, Pebbecco, and Pepsodent on your teeth. It has put a Gillette against your hayfield. It has put Murine in your eye, sold you Tuticurn for pimples. Pears for the bath, and Ivory for the tub. It lias put Arrow collars around your neck and Ingersolls around your wrist. It has jammed yourrfeet in Hole proof sox, put Paris garters on your legs and Tiffany rings on your fin gers. It has worn out your jaws on Wrig ley's and posted you on what to buy to cure corns, warts and bunion-, and ingrowing toenails. Go anywhere you want to, <!.> any thing you wish, and advertising ha had a hand in it?absolutely. And then some people ask "Does advertising pay?" TJ*t*v VV??rk 'I ?m?

MountiTn Womorial - ii . - - ? t 4Kii_ Association should not sometimes have some differences of opinion and even some friction, during the course qf years of dealing with each other. On top of all this, we have in the Stone Mountain situation one <>f the k ! * * -? 111* t producers of friction and discord Imaginabltv -scarcity nf fund* to carry out the plans and purposes of either. Manyv a man and hia wife might testify that lack of money is sometime* a producer of domestic friction and discord, because neither can do what the other may expect and tho skimping and the embarrassment often creates a case of "nerves" that makes one or the other sometimes .too "touchy." No one can doubt that the Stona Mountain .situation has. been fraught with elements conducive to discord. Neither side can see nor appreciate the other's viewpoint at present. Both parties to Uiiu?PJ,U rover sy are "fight ing mad." Kach is gunning for the other. Kach blames the other. One does not have to strain his imagina tion to see that each side makes out a prAtty good case for itself. We find It not difficult to sympathize wi the viewpoint of either party. Hut the situation is deplorable. The country's feeling*, and that of the South particularly, wo opine, is not so much a feeling of sympathy with or censure of either side of the con troversy as of keen regret that any thing should have occurred to halt progress on the magnificent me morial. Nothing like it oyer has been attempted before and-completed it would be a memorial unique and out standing in the world. ,\Vhat can be done now to clear up thr situation and let the work proceed we do not know, but we are sure that the whole country v?ould wish that the gigantic enterprise might be pushed to com pletiommd we believe that most peo ple would prefer thpt it should be carried to completion by the man wh.o conceived it and whose mind has cre ated the magnificent memorial image that has not yet been shaped in the atone of the great mountain face. The controversy has brought the memorial and tho need for funds to prosecute the work to the attention, of 'he people of the South and tHir whole country in a forceful way, and li. is not unlikely that,'if the two partie.-v to the quarrel could make j peace and settle down once again t > j the great task, the necessary money i might be forthcoming in greater am ? pkwss than heretofore. it ton i 1 j much t? hope that a middle ground ! may he found, that compromise may j be effected, and t-hat the work may j proceed without the delay of finding i another .sculptor who would have to ! start all over again largely and take j months it' not years to do again a j part <<f th.it which already has been done ? \ It would be far better if a change were made in the personnel of the association backing the movement than that the magnificent project it self .should suffer. The undertaking is greater than any man or woman in the Stone Mountain Memorial As sociation, greater than the associa tion it.M'lf, grcutei than Horglum. And the public has little interest in j which nidf to the controversy is right j o w run1,' :t ?> compared to its keen j interest in the consummation of the j giganti. .tr*?
