. SATURDAY. JANUARY 1. 1916.
.
Conference of Business Men Is
Held to Determine on the
~ Course of Procedure.
The directors of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau decided at a meeting Satur
day that they would renew their fight
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against the advanced freight
rates affecting Atlanta and other
Southeastern cities, which the com
mission permitted to go into effect
with the beginning of 1916, They did
pot announce any definite plan of at
tack, but a steering committee with
full power to act was appointed, as
follows:
H. E. Choate, Bolling H. Jones,
Clyde L. King, Willis E. Ragan, C. H,
Kelley, W. H. Camp, Ralph Rosen
baum, W. A. Parker, C. H. Candler
and H. B. Wey,
Attorney W. A, Wimbish, who rep
resented Atlanta in the fight, de
clared:
“We are golng'to continue our ef
forts opposing the increased rates
with renewed energy. We have no in
tention of quitting the fight until we
have won out.”
There was a report immediately fol
lowing the adverse decision Friday
that the courts might be resorted to
and an injunction asked to prevent
the railroads putting the new tariff
into effect, but Mr. Wimbish declared
that sucH action was not contem
plated yet. .
The decision of the Commerce Com
mission was that the rates must be
come effective SBaturday, as scheduled,
but that the case still would be open
for argument. The latter concession
is the basis of the hope still held by
the business interests fighting what
they term an unjust and excessive in
crease. ;

Former Congressman, Indicted as
Plotter, Tried to Interest Head
of Farmers™ Union.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers’ Union, Saturday
was congratulating himself that he
had beén dead to the entreaties of H.
Robert Fowler, former lllinois Con
gressman, that he join in “Labor's
National Peace Council” For Mr.
Fowler has just been indicted in New
York, with seven others, on charges
of conspiring against England and
her allies.
Mr. Fowlex paid a visit to Atlanta
several months ago, called on Mr.
Barrett, and endeavored ineffectually
to interest the Atlanta newspapers in
‘his “peace plan.” He was bent on
| having the influence of President Bar
‘rett in the work, and kept after him,
In person and by wire, for several
lweeks. urging him to deliver ad
d‘rlonoa in the interests of the coun
ell,
But Mr. Barrett had been “ap
proached” before. Ever since he has
been head of the Farmers' Union, pol-
Iticians, propagandists, Wall street
interests, cranks with cotton-holding
schemes, cranks with farming inven
tions—every variety of schemer
known to bugologists—have been
pestering him to join them In a
mighty movement to uplift the horny
handed sons of toll and separate them
from their bank roll,
And, though Charley Barrett is just
a plain, country kind of a man and
surprisingly willing to listen, nobody
yet has succeeded in persuading him
to burn his fingers on their private
chestnuts, And he kept out of Mr.
Fowler's scheme.

: 4
-An Ad 151
n vertising Creed
—Being the beliefs and practices on which is based The Daily
Georgian and Sunday American’s claim to your friendly
consideration for the New Year—and all the vears to come.
I BELIEVE, with one of the foremost Apostles of Adverfising,
That the first requisite of success is not to achieve the dollar, but to confer a
benefit—and the rewards will come automatically and as a matter of course,
That when advertising makes a successful sale it must also make a friend.
That falsehood makes for friction, while truth is a lubricaat.
That the fraudulent withers before the fact.
That rightzousness is a form of common sense. ~
That commerce is emineatly a divine calling.
And that business is the science of human service.
I BELIEVE, with one of the foremost Sales and Efficiency Exztrts,
That Advertising is a science, and the practice of it an worthy of one’s best
thought and effort.
That it pays to be a Booster always—a Knocker never—and to play the game
like a Gentleman.
And that it is better to advocate a good cause with little reward than a bad one
with big,
[ BELIEVE, with one of the foremost Advertising Writers,
That an Advertisement is great or little, as a whole, not because of certain
ragraphs.
?hat men forget the wording in a moment.
That they must not forget the impression.
That the greatest stories are most simply told.
I BELIEVE, with one of the foremost Public Service Corporations,
That “The Voice With the Smile Wins."”
That when talking through type, as with the telephone, it fiays to remember
that the smile on the face, the twinkle in the eye, are invisible to our audience.
That this being so, it l.swclltotryto%mthemlcandtwinklcinthctm.
And that a careful choice of words will enhance the value of what we say—
never forgetting that scolding is non-productive of quick results.
I BELIEVE, with one of America’s foremost Merchants,
That if there is one enterprise on earth that a “quitter” should leave severely
alone, it is advertising.
That to make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick like a
barnacle on a boat’s bottom.
That advertising does not jerk—it pulls. And that the pull, though gentle at
first, is steady and increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an
irresistible power.
I BELIEVE, with the Assoctated Advertising Clubs of America,
That truth is the corner stone of all honorable and successful business—truth
not only in the printed word, but in every phase of business connected with the
creation, publication and dissemination of advertising.
That there should be no double standard of morality involving buyer and seller
of advertising or advertising materials.
That as Governmental agencies insist on “full weight" packages and “full
weight”’ circulation figures, so should they insist on '“full weight” delivery in
every economical transaction involved in advertising.
I BELIEVE, with other wise men,
That life is what we make it—and that business is a big part of life.
That unless we are in it to win, it is better not to be in it at all.
And that the man who labors for the love of it is the man who is doubly paid.
That advertising is the fire under the boiler of business, and we must keep these
fires hot if we expect to attain and maintain success.
That one step won’t take you very far—~you've got to keep on walking.
That one word won't tell folks who you are—you've got to kccg on talking,
That co-operation is the most far-reaching business word in the English lan.
uage.
hat to live up to its full meaning is to profit by advertising’s mightiest power,
And that in agvcrmlng, as in all th!np.P:uccus has no foe but ‘fur—no limi
tations save those that are our own.
That, therefore, courage and confidence and ene in advertising are as sure
to winw-as sure to bring prosperity in this vear yi?lb and the coming years
~as the dawn of to-morrow brings a new day.
