The Election is Over.

The general election has passed into
history and it's results must be accept
ed by all as final. Those candidates
who were successful at the polls are
jubilant while those who were defeated
feel disappointed. We fully agree
with the 'Times" that the proper
thing to do is ''to forget it" but in
doing so we desire to reply to state
ment in last weeks Times to the effect
that "for mud throwing, the campaign
waged by the republican committee
this year, beats anything on record. )"
We are willing to leave this matter to
the people themselves but would like
to call the attention of the Times to the
fact that for over two weeks the re-
publican candidates, and the committee,
submitted to attacks by our democratic
friends through four different news
papers of this county. Much of the
matter contained in these attacks was
rot" and written for campaign effect
solely. Finally forbearance ceased to
be virtue and we went after them.
Some things were said on both sides
that obviously ought not to have been
said, but so far as the republican COM
mittee, or the Journal, is concerned we
said nothing that we are not prepared
to support, if necessary, and if some
of our remarks were a little warm it
must be borne in mind that ''in fighting
the devil it is sometimes necessary to
use birthstone. Now, if our friends
are willing to call it square we are, and
here is our hand.

George B. COrteIyOu.

The announcement from Washington
that the president intends to advance
George B. Cortelyou from the Post
master Generalship to the Secretary
ship of the Treasury, on March 4th,
next, ought to awaken every young
man in this great commonwealth to a
realization of what awaits the honest,
energetic young men of today, who
like Mr.. Cortelyou, serve faithfully and
well in whatever position their lot
places them. Only few short years
ago Mr.. Cortelyou began his public
career as stenographer of the staff
of the great department over which he
now presides as chief. Transferred
thence to the Executive staff, yet only
a stenographer, his promotion from one
important clerical position to another
has been most rapid. His cabinet ca
reer began with his appointment as
Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
which he subsequently resigned to be-
come national chairman of the Republi-
can party in 1904. His executive ability
displayed in that campaign won for
him the post he now occupies as post
master general of the United States
from which he will go to the depart
ment of the treasury. This last post
will be to him the most severe test of
any to which he has hitherto been SUBJ
jected. 1t requires ability of high
order and thorough understanding of
both the theory and practice of bank
ing, and it has usually been held by
experienced fnanciers. While Mr..
Cortelyou is not, so far as we know,
specialist in financial matters he is an
honest, energetic young man in whom
the people have full confidence and he
can be relied upon to do what he thinks
is best for the interests of the country.

the contending lawyers, with heaps
more in sight for them. Surely such
a business life is far greater failure
than that of the man in business who
merely fails because he makes no
profit.
Business Mans Greatest Trial
"I was asked the other day to name
what I regarded as the business mans
greatest trial. The question was
sprung so suddenly that / had to stop
and reflect before making answer.
These thoughts rapidly fitted through
my mind: Are goods the greatest tr1alE
The answer came, no. The world Is
full of all sorts of wares ready to be-
come his for COIN. Are warehouses
or stores or shops for the conduct of
his business his greatest trial? No,
because price will obtain the best to be
found anywhere.
Is capital his greatest trial? No, be-
cause the worlds vaults and treasure
houses are full to overflowing with
gold begging to be employed at a
moderate profit. Are customers his
greatest trial? No. because there are
millions of them waiting to be served If
they are but honestly and well served.
What, then, is his greatest trial?
And the answer came, men-plain,
everyday men. The business mans
greatest trial, after all, is to find and
keep men-men who are safe, men who
are dependable, men who know how to
do things and can be trusted to do them.
Never in the worlds commercial his
tory was there such a dearth of cap
able, dependable men as at this very
day and hour. Not because there are
fewer of them than ever before; quite
the contrary, there are more of them
than ever before. But because the de-
! n,and is greater than ever before and
the supply has not yet equaled the de-
mand.
Great commercial revolutions have
taken place in the last decade or two.
