A FEW
WORDS ABOUT

1t used to be that the quality of

much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it Is necessary for business

RocseveIt's Lead Increasing.

The announcement that the Roose-
welt button is selling in five times
the quantities of the Parker button
is significant. but it will not surprise
anybody. 1t is what was popularity
expected. just as are the advances
in the odds on Roosevelt in the bet
ting. The manufacturers report that
Roos evelt is far ahead in the button
selling. and they w 10 politics in
their business. In the South Parker
leads Roosevelt on this test. but in
all the rest OF the country Roosevelt
is ahead, and in the country at large
he is far in the lead. e Virginia
is one of the States that some of the
Democratic leaders say they expect

Roosevelt is three times as popular
as favorite son Davis, and six times

A DEFICIT CHANGED TO A SUR
PLUS.

1t is-tc be hoped that Il Democrat
ic friends who nave been worrying
SO much abott the alarming deficit
which seemed to pile up rapidly dur
ing July and August, While the neces-
sary expenditures of the Government
were being disbursed, will take note
CT the fact and present that fact to
their readers, that there was a surplus
during September of some $4,000, 600.
In other words DIR exceed
ed our expenditures during the month
10 that extent. reducing he deficit
which had accrued to somewhat less
than $500 900. 1t is possible that
the ,lnusual expenditures of October
will preclude the treasury from
showing a surplus for this month,
ard yet so rapidly have u
increased of late thai it seems fair to
predict tina at the end OF the fiscal
year there will be a very small if any
deficit whatever. We s our Dem

LESSON:

DO he newEtax Iawseduce taxa
tor?
Yes.
But the Democfats say thatthey
don't and aremaking an awful noise
to demonstrate their proposition.
What shall L do?
ASK them for the facts and figures.
VIII they give them?
NO, tEay can't. They will simply
talk you to death but they will deal
only in buncombe.
What is buncombe?
Another name for CUFF, which
forms h greatest part OF the Demo-
cratic argument in this fight.
But can you show me how the new
laws reduce taxation?
Yes, that's easy. The Republican
have abolished s~ix-sevenths of the di-
rect State taxes and in two years the
State levy will be only 5 cents. The
maximum county levy is reduced
from % cents to so cents. The levy
for the building fund for school Dur-
poses is lowered from 40 cents to 20
cen is. so, g and 20 make SIS cents OF
a reduction which cuts the total levy
of s1.7o in half. That is what the new
legislation does and my figures don't
lie.
But why don't the Democrats tell
me that?
Because it doesn't suit their pur-
poses and they are hoping they may
deceive the people long enough to
get back into power.
Do you think the people will be mis-
led2
NO. They are just as wise to-day
as they were in 1896 and 1900.
