One of the

Of the happy homes of to-day is a vast
fund Of information as TO the best methods
of promoting health and happiness and
right living and knowledge of the worlds
best products.
Products of actual excellence and
reasonable claims truthfully presented
and which have attained to worldwide
acceptance through the approval Of the
Well-Infomed Of the World; not of indi-
viduals only. but of the many who have
the happy faculty Of selecting and obtain
ing the best the world affords.
One Of the products of that class, Of
known component parts, an Ethical
remedy, approved by physicians and com
mended by the Well-Informed Of the
World as a valuable and wholesome family

and Elixir Of SIENNA. To get its beneficial
effects always buy the genuine, manu-

munit8 st our primary election THE
year. IN this respect We ere IN line
with the general trend Of things
| throughout our country.
Abraham Lincoln said ''You can
fool some Of the people all the time,
and all Of the people some Of the time,
but you can't fool all the people all the
time" An insincere, dishonest, or inn
moral man will sooner or later be ex-
posed and then humiliation and shame
will be heaped upon him.
Some men may use the cloak of re-
form to conceal their vileness, but they
should not discredit a good cause. Was
not Judas Iscariot one OF the ''Twelve?"
Others may seek to ride into Office on
the crest of the wave of moral reform,
although they are utterly unworthy of
the position, but was there ever a party
or organization that did not have among
its adberents some who were untrue or
disloyal to its principles ? This fact is
a sad commentary on human nature but
nOt.an occasion for abandoning the cause
of right.
There are many weak men in both
private and public life who cannot re-
The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1908-10-09

One of the hopeful signs of our times
is the popular demand for consistency
in the opinions and conduct Of men in
public life. Under our form of govern
ment public sentiment is a potent fac
tor for righteousness or wickedness.
The average office-holder is governed
more in his official acts by what people
think than by his conception Of official
duty. Hence the Importance Of public
opinion.
Furthermore, the enforcement of law
depends in a great measure upon the
wishes of the public. Conscientious
officers entrusted with the execution of
law soon become discouraged in the
performance of duty when the people
clearly show that its enforcement IS OBJ
nOxiOus to them.
The process of developing in the pub
he high political ideal is very slow and
tedious. A few men become possessed
of a passionate desire to see right tri-
umph over wrong Through their infiu-
ence and endeavors others have this de-
sire with them and gradually it filters
down to the average man of the street
whose opinions are formed by coEver-
sing with his own comrades or with men
slightly IN advance Of his mental devel-
opment. II is, therefore, a great tri-
umph for the right when public opinion
makes it hazardous for a man in public
life to adopt shabby methods or be
guilty Of double dealing.
During the last few days the purging
power of public sentiment has been IL
lustrated in the cases of Senator For
aker and Governor Haskell. Their rec
OrdB were such that they could no longer
serve in q conspicuous way their respec-
spective political parties. They had In
CURED the public disapproval for their
conduct and so were a burden to their
parties whose only hope of success was
to be relieved of them.
On the other hand Charles E. Hughes
was renominated as Governor Of New
York, although the leaders of the re-
publican party were not favorable to
such action, simply because the people
believed in his sincerity and ability, and
to ignore their wishes meant sure defeat
Of the party.
That q healthy growth in popular
sentiment toward a high ideal for all
men in public life is evident in our
country at the present time, cannot be
denied by a careful observer. We had
examples Of this fact in our own COM

ABOUT ADVERTISEMENT. 1 -
The Perambulating
Showcase

The newspaper is huge shop window,
carried about the city and delivered daily into
hundreds of thousands of homes, to be exam
ined at the leisure of the reader. This shop
window is unlike the actual plate glass show
case only in one respeCt-it makes display of
descriptions instead of articles.
You have often been impressed by the
difference between the decorations of two
window-trimmers, each of whom employed
the same materials for his work. The one drew
your attention and held it by the grace and
Cleverness and art manifested in his display.
The other realized so little of the possibilities
in the materials placed at his disposal that un-
less some one called your attention to his
bungling you would have gone on unconscious
of its existence.
An advertiser must know that he gets his
results in accordance with the skill exercised
in preparing his verbal displays. He must
make people stop and pause. His copy has to
stand out.
He must not only make a show of things
that are attractive to the eye but are attractive
to the peoples needs as we'll.
The window-trimmer must not make the
mistake of thinking that the showiest stocks
are the most salable. The advertiser must not
make the mistake of thinking that the showiest
words are the most clinching.
Windows are too few in number to be
used with indiscretion. The good merchant
puts those goods back of his plate glass which
nine people out of ten will want after they
have seen them.
The good advertiser tells about goods
which nine readers out of ten will buy if they
can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the win
dow, just as the showcase is but frame for
merchandise pictures. Awindow on a crowd
ed street. in the best neighborhood, where
prosperous persons pass continually, is more
desirable than one.in a cheap, sparsely settled
neighborhood. An advertisement in news
paper with the most readers and the most
prosperous ones possesses a great advantage
over the same copy in a medium circulating
among persons who possess less means. 1t
would be foolish for shop to build its win
dows in the.alleyway- just as much so to
put its advertising into newspapers which are
distributed among "alley-dwellers.

Killed By Lightning.

Elias Valdez, a young man
about q years of age, was struck
by lightning Sunday night near
his home at Capulin. He spent
the evening at the house of his
uncle, Hilario Valdez, and left
about 9 o'clock to return to the
home of another relative, Andres
Romero, about a quarter of mile
distant. The family supposed he
had concluded to remain all night
with his uncle and no uneasiness
was felt because of his failure to
appear until Monday morning.
Search was made and his body
found, badly disfgured, on the
bank of Hot creek, along which
his homeward route lay. A small
hole in the skull seemed to indicate
where the lightning had struck
him and the electric fluid passing
down inside the body tore out his
tongue and made a torn wound
in the abdomen as it quit the
body.
The funeral was held Tuesday,
burial being at Capulin. The
young man was highly respected
in the community and member
of prominent family.
