We would respectfully urge the vot-
for Stephen II. Snodgrass for Guy
councilman. He is young man who
is particularly well fitted for the posi-
tion. He is an elegant business man,
just such as is badly needed in t he
city council to attend TO the business
of the city in business like manner.
The success of the management OF city
affairs during the control by the dem
ocrats is owing entirely TO application
of business methods 10 public business.
A faithful and ELL :ient councilman
will be above playing politics in every
thing pertaining to his office but VIII
first serve the public interest and let
party be second consideration. such
"a man Mr.. Snodgrass will prove him
sell TO be. He never undertakes any
duty that he does not perform faith
fully and efficiently. Vote for Snod-
grass for the good of the city.
The city has advanced more in the
matter of good, substantial modern
improvements during the last i've
years than in twenty-five years before
and it is to be hoped that the good
work will he continued and to insure
this the voter should vote for Mr.
5nodgrass and the rest of the demo-
attic candidates for city council.

Senator Hale's recent comment on
"the frequent, protracted, and unnec'
essary absence of Secretary Taft from
his post of duty and Democratic crit
cisms of the Secretary for his absence
from his post on campaign missions,
have had their effect at last; and it is
said sthat Taft will resign. Why
shouldn't he? Why should he draw a
large salary while convassiug in his
private interest? Isn't il dishonest,
and unworthy of public servant?
Isn't it worse than com mon grating.

The demand made by the newspap-
ers of the county for the removal of
the tariff daty on wood-pulp and news.
paper has been giving the republican
standpatters in congress no little con-
Germ. The demand has been so urgent
and the evidence against the paper
trust has been so strong that the OBJ
jectors can only with great difficulty
keep dowp the movement. Promises
to Investigate, and TO act after the
election does not satisfy the newspap-
ers and even republican papers are
ridicuiing the promises and threaten
ing revolt. The Chicago RecordHer-
aid, q strong republican paper says of
the resolution proposing AN investi-
tion:
Who takes the resolution seriously?
Who Will take the investigation Sc
riously in view of its origin ahd spuT-
pose? Ii will be regarded as an inves-
tigation for "Buncombe county OILY"
The new trusl busters are in ne hurry.
Though there is "nothing doing" in
congress, it is not expected that the
work Will be completed before adjourn
ment. And then the national conVen-
tons will monopolize attention, and
no one will remember wood pulp AT
ter that the dog days will furnish an
excuse for a slow pace.
Our standps. friends intend to sex
ploitn the resolution in their "dee-
stricts,n &c point to it with affected
pride Us 2 statesmanlike substitute for
revision. They will run the risk of
hooting and jeering. Their little game
is too transparent. Their only serious
argument that they could not touch
wood pulp and paper without reopen
ing the tariff questlun-was gone when
it was shown that the admitted need
of forest-saving furnishe. complete
and convincing reason for treating the
wood pulp and paper duties as belong
ing to separate and distinct category
The house minority is on record as ac-
quies"ing in Snch treatment of these
duties. The anxious standpatters
know that telling quotations from
presidential messages and resolutions
of manufacturers and clubs and other
organizations were at their disposal te
| justify to all minds the singing out O
the schedule in question for revision a.
this time. They are reckoning without
the common sense and the humor o
their constituents.

"All know is that the president Is
undoubtedly sincere in his declaration
that he does not wish To- run again. He
is sincere in this, as in everything else
he says or does. If the Chicago conven-
tion stampedes to him, though, do
not know what his attitude will be.
But | an sure that if he has his way
he will not be the republican nomi-
nee.u
The above is from an interview with
Congwortn, son-in-law TO President
Roosevelt. Taken in connection with
the recent message to congress and
the presidents sialem-nt Of his regrets
at having made his election night
pledge not to run agaiE, it makes the
politicians guess. Objections 10 third
term evidently find no lodgment in
the Roosevelt brain. He is now sorry
that he said he would not take the
job again, and 10 plainly saying 10 the
people, "ii you want me, make me

prehibitionist who said to druggist
who would, on wink, "spike" a
glass of sous: "If you could put lit
tie rum in mine 'unbeanownst' to me,
