and these he S in duty bound to ap-
ply in all matters that come before
him.
HIS OWN JUDGMENT
But there is a wide zone in which
he must act upon his own judgment,
and here he ought to have the aid Of
intelligent, conscientious and faithful
advisers. The law provides these to
a certain extent in giving him a cabi
net and the vice-president ought to
be made member of the cabinet eX-
ofiicio in order, first, that the Presi-
dent may have the Lenefit of his wis
dom and knowledge OF affairs, and
second that the vicepresident may
be better prepared to take up the work
of the president in case of a vacan
in the presidential office There
ought to be cordial relations also be-
tween the president and those who
occupy positions of influence in the
coordinate branches of the govern
ment in which the chosen representa-
tives Of the people labor together to
give expression to the will of the vo-
ters.
HIGHEST PLACE IN THE WORLD
But the Preidency is the highest
position in the world and its occupant
is an important factor in oil national
matters. If he is a devout believer in
our theory of government. recogniz-
es the constitutional distribution of
powers, trusts thoroughly in the peo-
pie and fully sympathizes with them
in their aspirations and hopes, he has
ain opportunity to do a splendid work;
he occupies vantage ground from
which he can exert wholesome in
fuence in favor of each forward move
mont
"The responsibilities of the Office
are so great that the occupant ought
to be relieved of every personal ambi-
/ tion to prove worthy of the confidence
, of his countrymen; for this reason he
ought to enter the position without
thought or prospect of second term.
FIELD OF SERVICE LARGE
While the burdens of such an office
are heavy, and while the labors of the
office are exacting and exhausting, the
field of service is large, and, measur-
ing its greatness by service, a presi-
dent by consecrating himself to the
public veal can make h'nself secure
in the affections of his ,ow citizens
while he lives and create for him
self permanent place in the nations
history"

Local Candidates

Smvrna enjoys the privilege of
voting for set of men on the Re-
publican ticket that should meet with
the approval not only of the party
but of all good citizens working for
election of efficient men to office.
M Edgar Spruance for Register of
Wills is fully qualified to fill that
position and if elected will be found
attentive to his duties and personally
acceptable to all. Mr.. John P. Hud-
son. who has so we'll filled the office
of Levy Court Coroner is a candidate
for reelection. IF efficiency in the
performance of duty and the knack
of doing things" count for anything
the people should realize that he is
the right man for the place. Mr..
A. E. Jardine for Representative is,
as every one knows, fully qualified
and there is no doubt that his per-
formance of the duties as represent
ative as have always been shown by
Mr.. Jardine in connection with the
business interests and as President
of the Board of Trade, will demon
strate to all his peculiar fitness for
the Office. Every knows that his
efforts in this town have always been
earnest to the building up of our in
dustries, endeavOring at all times to
give employment to all laborers, tC
the improvement Of navigation of our
river, to bettering the condition oi
the farmer by the best transportation
faculties, at all times in every move
ment to assist and aid not only the
municipal improvements but entering
personally into other matters where
by others have been given a helping
hand to better their conditions. Rob
ert E. Cantwell for assessor, Richar
E. Long and W. B. Start for Inspec
tors are good men and can be relic
upon. l predict the election q
these men and feel satisfied that ou
people will never regret the trus
placed in their hands. VOTER.
Smyrna times., 1908-10-28

This time next week the result
of the election will be known. The
issues have been expounded by both
parties and lively campaign has
been waged. Aside from the Ma
tional and State tickets, the voters
of Duck Creek Hundred have pre-
sented to them two excellent tickets.
The personal of both are such as
claim attention, but in voting our
citizens must look back of the good
candidates and consider the principles
and the party they represent. The
communication of Vovter'' in an
other column tells what the Republi-
can organization has to present and
it is we'll worth considering.

Why wouldn't it be a good time
before freezing winter weather sets
in, to scrape the mud and dirt off the
macadam section of Commerce street
and replace all the stone crossings.
The Street Committee should make it
their business to better the conditions
of this street. In its present condi-
tion it reflects no credit upon the
