The Presidents of the United States.
The north has had sixteen presidents
and the south nine. The executive Of
fee has been occupied by northern men
a few days less than siXty-three years
and by southern men a few days over
ff%ty-three years. This is. based on the
supposition that Roosevelt will fill out
his present term.
Only two of the southern states have
furnished presidents, Virginia and
Tennessee. OF the northern presidents
three have come from the New Eng
land states, six from the middle states
and seven from what is now called the
middle west.
No president has ever been elected
from the territory west of the Missis-
sippi river, and only two men have
been nominated by the great political
parties from that territory-Fremont
Of Missouri by the Republicans in 1866
and Bryan of Nebraska by the Demo
Gratis in 1896 and 1900.
Divided politically, nine Democrats,
two Federalists, four Wings and eight
Republicans have occupied the presi-
dental office In the above l do not
include Washington, the first presi-
dent. It is unjust to assign the first
and only real nonpartisan president
Of the country to any political rarity

Col. Obiston Dead

A special from Denver states that
Col. Frank Obiston, pioneer Com
stocker, had died in Australia recent
~. Mr. Obiston, although it is many
years since mis- departure from among
us, will be remembered by all old
Comstockers. 1t was after him that
the Obiston shaft on Washington St.
was named. He left here about 70
years ago, and lived in Colorado for
most of the time since. He was an all
round good fellow, and the news of his
death will bring sad recollections to
the heart of many a one who remem
bers the "olden, golden days" of the
Comstock.-Chronicl
Frank Obiston was well known ir
this city where he had many friends
during the palmy days on the Com
stock. The old timers will regret tt
learn of his death.

The Crawford Primary.

There seems to be some objection to the Crawford primary election because of the heavy expense to the candidates. There should be no expense to the candidates so far as printing ballots and holding cleo tions are concerned. The plan should be incorporated into a gem eral primary election law and the primaries should be held at public expense.
 Under the present Australian ballot law there is hardly a possi- bility of a man being elected unless his name appears on the official ballot. Recognizing nominations the election law should go further and specify in what manner these nominations should be made and throw the same protection around the primary as it does the general election.-Bulletin.

How to Advertise

John Wanamaker, who is both an advertiser and newspaper pub fisher, and therefore competent to speak from either standpoint, is credited with the following: "There is only one way to advertise, and that is to hammer your name, your location, your business, so con stantly, so persistently, so thor oughly into the peoples head that if they walked in their sleep they would constantly turn they faces toward your store The newspaper is your best friend, in spite of your criticism. It helps to build up the community that supports you. When the day comes that the news papers are dead the people are near the edge of the grave, with no one to write their epitaph."
