WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
1t would save them many dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out of the business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re
sponsibllty for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu
tion in his hands-out In the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy.
er of his goods, with the dealer. and
with himself
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements, offer.
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility. and when these infe.
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered In connection
with National Lead Company's adver.
tlsing of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri.
ty in White Lead Is proved to the
most skepucal by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free TO
any address blow.pipe and instruc.

THE REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

We call attention TO our two spe-
cial communications from Chicago
giving an account of the Republican
National Conye ntion. We were about
TO write an editorial expressing our
sentiments with reference to that
Convention. but upon re-reading the
letters which we publish We have
decided TO simply say to our readers
that they express our sentiments.
Now. let US put up ticket In North
Carolina, from Governor down. OF
the same high character as Taft and
Sherman, and then look for an able
and vigorous campaign manager as
Taft is now looking for one for the
national campaign, and North Caro-
lima Will line up in the Republican
column next fall.
1t Will be noticed that the Repub-
llcan National Convention did not

We have not heard an estimate Oh
how much Mr.. KItchin's forces have
put into the Canvass. but IL In hardly
probable that they have stood by and
watched the proceedings without
turning loose some OF the flthY
incre.
We have certainly fallen upon
strange times when the representa-
tlyes Of what was once a great party
can buy up their party With money
and liquor. Oh, that We could per
Ish the thought. but how can we
when be have the evidence from
Democratic authority. But here Is
the most serious question yet. The
salary of the Governor is only 81 900
a year or 5000 for the four years
term. II will cost the occupant OF
the mansion at least $4,000 a year
To live. and this would only leave
him $4,000 at the end of the four
years. Suppose a candidate Is elect
ed Governor whose nomination had
cost $4,000, from what source
would he or his supporters get re-
turns on their money? This Is a
question that will very probably
cause the voters to sit up and take
notice.

TAFT THE CANDIDATE.
Continued from Page ~

up to where Roosevelt stands, but
it at this time refuses to go any
further. The one dramatic and sig
nificant episode of yesterday, indeed
of the whole convention, was the
splendid and plucky, though futile,
endeavor of radical Wisconsin to
point the way to future reforms
farther advance than any yet propos-
ed by Roosevelt. Defeating all of the
Wisconsin proposals by overwhelm-
ing majorities, the Republican party
said in effect: What Roosevelt has
done we endorse. That is conserva-
tive now, because we make it so.
But We shall stop right where we
are. SWe want no new paths of re-
form for us to walk in. We have
in hand now all we can follow"
And the triumph of Roosevelt is
that he, who abdicated four years
ago because he was afraid he would
be called revolutionary, socialistic
and a crusader, is now conservat-
ism; and La Toilette and these hardy
young men from Wisconsin and
South Dakota are the radicals of the
end of the Roosevelt administration,
buot not of the Roosevelt era. That
is a triumph, indeed, because 1t is
actual, Intrinsic, enduring progress
Roosevelt is a success in history not
because he has been President, not
because he has named his successor
but because he has made an era OF
the republica and given his name to
it.
Great and general was the admir-.
alton for the performance of the mer
from Wisconsin yesterday. Few
sympathized with what they were
trying to do; many admired the
manner in which they attempted to
do it. Every one recalled how they
were kicked out of the convention
of four years ago. They were kicked
out because Theodore Roosevelt hal

A subscriber writes to inquire
whether we think DIR. Cyrus Thomp-
son OF Onslow or Hon. John w.
Fries, of Forsythe is the best man
to nominate for Governor. In reply
We have to say that either would
be an admirable one, but no matter
which one of them should be nomi-
mated for the head of the ticket, that
ticket should contain the names of
both. A ticket made up of such
men can be elected this fall, pro-
vided the campaign is vigorously, in
telligently and honestly handled. OF
course. we have the curse of the
patronage machine element that does
not want Republican victory, and it
is more difficult to whip this element
inside of the party than it is to whip
the disorganized Democratic party.
