VOTE
Every citizen of the United
States, who is registered,
should go to the polls tomor
row and vote.
| No citizen can take any
comfort unto himself for an
indifference that keeps him
away from the polls.
Such an attitude towards
one’s own government is no
cause for pride.
It is an attitude rather that
deserves condemnation.
This is our government, a
Democracy operated by the
people.
Let’s make it an efficient
Democracy by securing the in
terest and vote of all.
THE WOBBLING G. O. P.
The most amazing feature of
the present campaign Is the blind
rank and fBe republican voters
who are being led to the Coolidge
hogs by the twin harlequins Im
potency and Special Privilege.
The country has already wit
nessed enough of the Coolidge
"sort of government to know that
it need not expect any real pol
icy during his occupancy of the
executive chair and proof of the
pudding is now as apparent as it
ever has been.
The Coolidge administration is
even now on trial for its life and
it is making no effort to improve
its potency.
It refuses to act when a stroke
of the pen would save the masses
millions of dollars a week on the
sugar bUl.
Moreover, the republican mem
bers of congress are daily showing
that they are just as inimical to
wards the policies of Mr. Coolidge
as they were when they scorn
fully overrode the president’s ve
toes last winter.
Proof of this statement is not
lacking as we may note the very
recent canvass of United States
senators on American entrance of
the* world court.
Remember that the republican
platform emphasizes the fact that
just as soon as Mr. Coolidge is re
elected this country is going to
join the world court.
Backing up the platform prom
ise, Secretary Hughes and Pres
ident Coolidge himself have been
promising that program without
any if and ands about it.
Hf The democratic party is the
only party in the United States
that has a*set policy on both do
mestic and foreign affairs.
Davis stands for a platform
whereby Americans would
their place at world conferences as
equals in rank to any other dele
gates.
The senators stand behind him
on that plank.
How about the republicans?
Look at their demoralization and
rawfishing.
And to think that any honest
American citizen endorses an out
it like the Old Guard.
TIN ENT QUESTION
200 applications for
kve been made under the
,;Fy
flexible provision* of the tariff
kw, and almost without exception
these are for advances on import
rates which will enable certain
group* of manufacturer* to
charge more for their product.
The additional duties thus im
posed on the tariff commission has
necessitated greater expense, and
the commission now asks for $1,
000,000 to enable it to go on with
investigations now under way.
Other manufacturers and deal
ers as well as many of the con
sumers of these products have
raised the question as to why
the tax payer shoulji be called
upon to pay the costs of investi
gations that may make him pay
again in higher prices, and in any
event only accrue to the advan
tage of a certain few, who are
seeking personal profit.
It is a pertinent question, for
there certainly would be no in
justice in requiring the lattqr to
stand the expense.
It may be that if this were
the case, fewer applications for
increased tariff favors would be
recorded.
COMFORTING THOUGHT
the ^fhe most comforting thought in
world is the assurance that we
live in an ordered universe.
There arc no accidents.
There are no chances.
Nothing happens except in the
regular course and order of
things.
The Creator of natural law does
not step out of His role to in
terfere with the natural law he
created.
He lets it “ work itself out in
perfect precision.
Meanwhile there are those who
entertain the idea that a goodly
part of the universe was created
for them only and persist in an
attempt to improve the work of
the Creator.
Then there are those who ig
nore the fact of natural law, or
any other law except the police
man’s club.
Great souls are scarce.
If you know some of them stay
close by them.
They are steadfast, dependable,
the great gifts of life.
ENGLISH WANT CHANGE
After 200 years Englishmen are
■
seriously discussing the proposi
tion to do away with the stdut
square jawed gentleman with a
square top plug hat, who has stood
as the symbol of John Bull.
It is contended that it is too
old fashioned and no longer typi
cal of their country,
A proposition to do away with
the symbol of “Uncle Sam” or
with his chin whiskers, or even
the pantaloon straps under his
boots to say nothing of the chim
t-----.
ney piece, would be regarded as
little less than sacriligious.
The symbol may be old fashion
ed but it’s so typical that noth
ing could ever agreed upon as a
substitute.

Editor, Griffin D^ily News.
Dear Sir: As a former Griffin
ite and having a number of old
friends through that section, I
was very much disappointed at
the opposition we had two years
ago in Spalding for the new coun
ty of Peach.
I know there is a sentiment
arninst the creation of any more
counties in this state, but this is
a case where a new county is
really needed.
My grandfather was a pioneer
of Griffin and I have hundreds of
relatives and friends there who ’i.
am sure would make an exception
in favor of Peach if they under
stood the situation.
If you will give us your support
I am sure we will win for some
how I have a “hunch” that my
old home town will say whether
we mjust win or lose.
Thank *you.

“All tfiese years,” he proceeded,

* PAYS YCWS
MRS. NELLIE TAYLOR ROS^
Widowed a few,short weeks ago
by the sudden death of her hus
band, Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross is
now awaiting the outcome of the
coming gubernatorial _i^ election in
v
Wyoming which may make her
governor, the post her husband
held and for which he was a can
didate.
Does House Work Calmly.
Calmly she goes about her house
work these days in her Cheyenne
home, trying bravely to erase
from her mind the tragic event of
his death while her friends—and
his—are winding up a whirlwind
campaign of a few weeks to elect
her.
She ha3 lived up to her asser
tion that she would not speak a
wo^d in her own behalf.
Unanimous Vote.
Mrs. Ross was nominated by
unanimous vote of the Wyoming
state Democratic convention Oc
tober 14, to succeed her late hus
band as a candidate.
Should she be elected her vic
tory will be dovfbly interesting for
two reasons. First she will be the
first woman governor of Wyoming,
the first state to grant suffrage to
women back in 1869. Second, her
three sons will be the only chil
dren in the world whose parents
have taken turns in being gover
nor of an American state.
Born in Missouri.
Mrs. Ross was born in St. Jos
eph, Mo. Her father was a Ten
nessee gentleman and her mother
a Virginia beauty. She married
Ross when he was getting his
start as a lawyer in Cheyenne.
Ross often told his friends and
'oUtical aides that it was Mrs.
Ross who spurred him on when
lefeats at the polls disheartened

is done in various ways, the
greater part of which is de
scribed as 'publicity,’ and of
all these ways, advertising is
the most effective. **
The purpose of the pamph
let is stated to be: “To en
able the owner of the small
retail store to make the most
economical and effective use of
the money he has available for
advertising. * ♦
Advertise Every Day, Advice.
“Although every repetition
of an advertisement costs
money,” says the department,
• 4 occasion, hit-or-miss adver
tising is usually a loss; where
as steady advertising of the
right kind is sure to be pro
ductive. The retailer whose
business justifies advertising in
newspapers will do better to
run a small advertisement
every day than to run a large
one once a week.
Never Let Public Forget.
"Never let the public forget
you. Never give even your
old established customers a
chance to forget you, your
store, your goods.
'.‘There are two points to re
member in this connection:
Y our advertising campaign,
whatever it consists of, should
be planned as a whole; do not
get out several booklets, let
ters or circulars and then dis
cover you are not presenting
your arguments in proper or
der or that you have neglected
the seasonal influences or some
thing else. r -
4 4 Also, if you are advertising
m a publication, call attention
to that advertising in any cir
culars you get out, so as to tie
the two together.
Identify Your Store.
“The other point is to identi
fy your store through a
a trade mark, an illustration or
a signature, so that every ad
vertisement will have some eas
ily recognized mark which will
remind the observer of all
other ads of your store. Tie
your ads together. Note how
the large advertisers use a
trademark, a phrase or a pic
ture.
Take Advantage of Seasons.
“At certain seasons and for
certain offerings of paerchan
dise, advertising announce
ments should appear more fre
quently than usual. A grocer
has only a few weeks to sell
strawberries, so he should ad
vertise them more frequently
than potatoes which he dan sell
always.
“Druggists should press their
advantage in selling remedies
for colds during the winter
months. During an especially
rainy April shoe dealers should
make frequent announcements
on rubbers.
"But whatever the season,
the goods or the medium used,
be consistent—do not have
spasms of advertising. H
