NASHVILLE has fallen into a most
disgusting woman's rights fashion,
of late years, of parading it's women
to the public gaze on all special oc-
casions and making them glazing
part of their advertisements for
all festival affairs. The public
grew nauseated with it during the
Centennial, and now they are at it
again with their MAY Festival. !"
Why not give a business festival in
business way, and of course allow
the gentlemen to adorn their traps
with ribbons and flowers and beau
! tiful women, without publishing day
after day a committee of Madames
to do this, and a committee of Miss es
to do that, and repeating their
names over and over until they be-
come as familiar and common to the
general public as that Of some &C
tress, or leading lady in a divorce
proceeding, or any other notorious
trial. How can women expect mer
to worship them with that adula'
ton and ga.lantry, love and admi
ration as of old, when they forfeit
for public notoriety sake one o.
their sweetest charms, retiring
modesty. The HERALD protests
against the women Of the South be
ing used as advertising specialize
to attract crowds or draw trade any
where.

DR.. ST.. CLAIR MCKELwAY, the

regard to the editorial page: "Ad-

contradiction to the contrary not
withstanding, Is the most important
page OF the newspaper. The news
pages, by their fairness, their clean
ness, their intelligence and their en-
terprise, largely make evident the
ability and resources of the sheet.
But the editorial page reflects not
only the ability but the character Of
the journal; its virtue as well as its
vigor; its conscience as we'll as its
capacity; its courage as we'll as its
conscience. The editorial page in

it could not get along without the
news pages, but l also know that the
news pages would get along in limp
ing and hating fashion without the
editorial page. Recall newspapers
with poor editorial pages or with
none, but with bright news pages.
They may have vogue, but they do
not have influence. They may have
circulation, but they do not have
power. They may be able to say
things and spread things, but they
cannot do things, and cannot get
things done. And the exact meas
ure of their impotency is suggested
by the blare of their claims of
efficiency and of accomplishment.
Happily, these newspapers of blare
are just few enough to be as distinc-
tive as repulsive, and desirable to
differentiate themselves from the
general journalism that, at home
and abroad, was never more respect

REPUBLICAN,
CHAIRMAN.
DR.. Quail to Again Direct the County
Campaign.
THE CANDIDATES IN HARMONY
DR.. A. L. Giilars, Of POttsville, and James
MoElhenny, OF Mahanoy City, Were
Named, But DR.. Quaii's Re-
election Was Made IN
animous.

Pottsville, July 22.-In accordance with
the call issued by Elias Davis, chairman Of
the Republican county convention, and In
compliance with the rules Of the party, the
Republican nominees met here in the psrlors
Of the Merchants hotel this morning for the
purpose Of selecting a county chairman to
succeed DR.. Charles Quail Of Auburn, the
present incumbent.
Each Of the ten candidates nominated At
last Mondays convention were present and
evinoed much interest in the selection Of a
leader for the campaign. Besides the candi-
dates many prominent Republican leaders
from different parts Of the county were noted
about the hotel corridors. They all realized
that the sueeess Of the ticket depended ma
terially upon the wisdom exercised by the
party nominees in selecting chairman, one
who possesses the qualification Of party
leader, is aggressive and has the faculty OF
keeping the party united.
The party rules give the chairman author
ity to select two secretaries, treasurer, a
reading clerk, an executive committee OF
! fifteen members selected proportionately
| from the four legislative districts, and a com.
mittee on naturalization.
The nominees went into session promptly
at 10 o'clock and remained in conference
until after ~ o'clock. Three candidates foI
chairman were presented. DIR. Charles Quail
of Auburn James McElbonny, Mahanoy
City, and DR.. A. L. Gillars. Pottsville
The present incumbent, DR.. Quail wal
selected. The name Of Daniel Duffy wa.
not presented. Several of the nominees wer,
anxious that he should be selected, but Mr.
Duffy refused to serve because of busines
pressure.
Chairman Quail will not announce his ap
pointment of secretaries and executive com
mittee until next week, probably on Wednes
day. Charles A. Snyder will probably b.
one of the secretaries.
The selection of chairman was made oil
the first ballot, after which the candidate
and chairman outlined plan for an aggres
sive campaign. This occupied most of tn,
time of the conference.

Personally Ingersoll was a Jolly good
fellow. His good nature was notable. He
seemed to have fear OF nobody. He used
TO say that he never disciplined his chill

a portion of the evening playing bill
liards with Walston H. Brown, his SON

seemed to be in better health and
spirits when he retired than he had
been for several days.
Yesterday morning he rose at the
usual hour and Joined the family at
