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. j People's Forum j 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. ALICE HODGE SHEPHERD, Fort Valley, Ga. SALVAGE What are you working on now ? ” “A process for straightening corkscrews into bill files. II DAILY N — ‘ADVERTISE STEADILY.’ IS U. S. COMMERCE BOARD’S ADVICE TO RETAILERS Small Concern Should Run Ad Daily Rather Than Large One Once a Week. Washington, Nov. 3.—Small retail dealers should advertise consistently, if they advertise at all. This is the recommen dation in a pamphlet, “Small Store Advertising," issued by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. “Every merchant,” the de partment says, "must make himself known in order, to con duct a profitable business. This A village clergyman, on the eve of his departure to take up the post of chaplain to some prison, opened his farewell sermon by saying that he was going to make another and less tangible depart ure. He was going to reserve his text till the end. “All tfiese years,” he proceeded, “you have taken little interest in the parish, in the services and I fear, none in me. As you know, I hay* reluctantly accepted the post of prison chaplain. And now for my text: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Prince Obolensky, who recently married Miss Ava Astor, the late John Jacob Astor’s beautiful daughter, is renowned as dancer, musician and raconteur. At a dinner party in London the talk turned to hasty marriages, and the prince was ready with his anecdote. He said he had recent ly met a young married woman with haggard eyes and a drawn look .about the mouth. 44 They tell me, madam,” he said to hef, “that your marriage was a case of love at first sight. »» Quite so,” said the young wo man with a sigh. “If I had been gifted with second sight I’d still be in the bachelor girl elass.”— * 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 rim in the early days of his efforts -o rise to power in the state. 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.
