AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM.
The Harrow Times as an advertising medium is recognized bv the
business men and it appreciates the patronage so generously given it
in this w eek \s issue.
This would not he given were it not for the fact that the Times goes
into so many of the homes of this county and covers every nook and
corner of it.
It. therefore, feels grateful to its hundreds of subscribers, who by
their support and patronage enables it to command the patronage ot
advertisers.
A paper without readers is worth little to those who wish to adver
tise and a paper without advertisers is worth little to its readers.
They are both essential to make a paper useful and beneficial and
meet the demands of 1 lie public.
O
NOT THE ADVICE DESIRED.
Dr. Fiank Crane’s advice to grasp a big idea, find a vast issue, give
yourself to it, spend yourself in it and bring greatness to your life is
not the advice the politician and office seeker desires.
This advice will apply to statesman, but there are so few of these
at tHe present time to heed it.
The present day politicians and office hunters are anxious to
grasp an idea, hut it is an idea that will enable them to appeal to the
weaknesses and prejudices of men and not for the good of humanity.
The sole object of 1 his class of men is to grasp an idea that will give
them notoriety and land them in official position.
HAS POOR OPINION OF HIMSELF.
When calamity or misfortune strikes one we dislike and we rejoice
in the calamity or misfortune, we detest our own littleness and self
ishness and cannot help hut feel our smallness and lack of true man
hood. What a poor opinion a man must have of himself, if he is cap
able of a serious and manly thought, who rejoices in the illness and
physical brakedown of President Wilson.
If a woman can wear a ring for two or three years why could she
not wear a dress for two seasons .’ This would help greatly in reduc
ing the high cost of living.
O
If the boll weevil will stop the reckless spending of money and
learn us to economize and think more seriously, it will be a blessing
rather than a curse.

O
Both sides are claiming victory in the big steele strike now in pro
gress all over the United States. It is unfortunate for our country at
any time to have these upheavals, hut particularly so under present
conditions.
O
Alexander Berkman, alleged anarchist, concluded his term in the
Atlanta federal prison Wednesday and has returned to New York.
He and Emma Goldman were convicted of conspiracy to abstract the
army draft. Miss Goldman served her sentence at Jefferson City. Mo.,
o
The man who rejoices in the illness of President Wilson is not made
of the stuff which broadens the conception of real manhood, which
causes one to he magnanimous, even to one he dislikes, when that one
meets with misfortune.

war between i rganized labor and the greater part ot the iron and

O
THE BOLL WEEVIL AND POLITICS.
(The Jackson Progress-Argus)
Says a fellow the other day. sez he. that the boll weevil in Butts
county i- going to account for a tremendous erop of candidates next
year. He based his opinion on the fact that poor crop years always
bring out a full force of candidates. The boll weevil being responsible,
in a measure, for crop conditions this season, this gentleman stated
that next year's array of political talent would be large, varied and
complete.
This gentleman’s reasoning may he good. Without the boll weevil
there would have been a good bateh of favorite sons. With the boll
weevil this number willing to serve may be increased. The only way
to tell is to wait and see.
All of which is more or less interesting as tending to show t hat the
day has passed when the office seeks the man. Now the candidates
wok the office and use megaphones to let the voters know their hats
are in the ring. < ompetenoy, ability and fitness to discharge the duties
of an office don’t count for as much as they did formerly. Too many
voters have come to think of an office as a means to “helping some
needy fellow out.”
With boll weevils and candidates both running at large next year,
' the only salvation seems to rest in an early primary. We’re for an
tarlv primary, and believe the majority of voters share this opinion.
