The Great Campaieners.

The school of instruction in this
campaign has been conducted by the
newspapers. Electors who went to
the polls with knowledge of how to
vote are students of the newspapers
The time has come in this country
when the newspapers are the great
campaigners. Without their aid what
the most conspicuous and eloquent
stumpers say cannot reach far Dur.
ing this campaign a few have heard
Taft ana few have heard BRYAN,
but the millions have taken instruct
ion from the newspapers. The news
papers are foremost as political edu-
Gators. They go everywhere, reach
all classes, appeal to all interests. re-.
present every class. They are the
disseminators of detail information.
They explain the circle and the alb
sence of the circle; how to mark the
ballot, where the individual voter is
to cast his ballot. explain when the
polls will open and when they will
close.
They deal in the primary things re-
lsting to the election. and they deal
in all the arguments intended to in
fiuence opinion. They are the carry
alls of our politics. They begin early
and stay to the last. They are mega.
phones to cry in every mans ear,
Are you reigstered?" and with in
crease of emphasis they cry, "Vote,
vote!" They are the great campain-
ers. The candidate goes on for a time,
with or without his voice, but the
newspapers go on forever, and are
never out of wind. They do not cease
because of abuse. Voters who know
nothing except what they have pick
ed up from the newspapers may be as
ungrateful as dogs, declare that not
a word in the newspapers can be he
lieved. that they are corrupt. bought
as sheep in the SHAMELESS. and yet the
newspapers go on teaching in all
grades of public opinion They are
not infallible: some are bad, and
some are good. Evil does not gain by
publicity, and the truth lifts mp it's
head in the light of day The news
papers are foremost in patriotic ser.
vice; they are the teachers of the
people-the saviors of the country. -

"IJnder Southern Skis"

Tuesday night, Nov. "a. and is GER

prone to leave the theatre alone, ex-
cept when an attraction proved
worthy is offered for their patronage.
On these occasions our city proves it.
self equal to any other of its size in
the point of attendance and apprecia.
tion and the well known merits Of
"Under Southern Skies" will be GER
tain of drawing full house of our
very best people. This delightful play
is now in its eight season of undimin-
ished popularity and is conceded to be
the very best play of Southern life
which has been presented to the pub
lie in many yeras. So much life. fun
and gayety is interviewer with the
strong and peculiarly Southern story
which forms the basis of the play that
the interest of the spectator is never
allowed to flag. This undoubtedly is
one of the secrets of the great success
achieved by the play. Evrey effort is
also made by the management to keep
up the standard of the attraction from
season to season. Every performance
is as thoroughly and carefully given as
was it's first presentation before a me-
ropolitan audience. Nothing is slight
ed that can add to the enjoyment or
satisfaction of the audience, and this
is another reason why lrage houses
greet the play again and again as Of
