A TOWN BOOMING TRAIN.
Wouldn't $4,000 Worth of Newspaper
Space Have Been Better?

Space Have Been Bettor2
Recently 1T business men of Tulsa,
Okla, made q grand tour Of the east
in special train. the object being to
advertise the attractions and CONNER
clal advantages Of Tulsa to the gen.
eral public. The train carried a brass
band and q printing outfit, dispensing
music everywhere and publishing q
daily paper for free distribution along
with the music. The paper told of
Tulsa's greatness. In half dozen or
more Of the big cities, including New
York, the Tulsans stopped several
days to spread the gospel Of publicity.
The novelty Of the town booming idea
attracted considerable attention.
Not every small city, of course, con.
tains enough business men who are
willing to contribute their time and
money for such a publicity proposition
1t Is understood that each of the Tulsa
men paid his own way, the cost to him
being about $3.50 No doubt most OF
the men enjoyed the trip and gained
ideas for future profit to their own
business as well as to their town. But
there is another side to the shield,
which is pointed out In an editorial on
the subject In the Editor and Publish.
er Of New York:
"The committee having in charge
the Tulsa advertising expedition esti-
mates that the cost of the trip will be
about $4,000. If this amount had
been spent in legitimate and intelli.
gent advertising In the newspapers
how much more good 1t would have
done Thirty thousand dollars Will
buy big lot of space, which If used
to advantage would bring to the atten.
ton Of millions of people Tulsa's nat
ural resources"

With the passage Of the Bosworth-

legislature the proposition of good

bic ON horseback over the most pre-
cipitous road in the south to the seat
Of Harlan county.
The bill provides a constitutional
amendment to be voted on at the next
legislative election in 1909. 1t gives
each county power to assess . per cent
of It's total valuation for road repair
and building in distinction to the pres
cent. In the case Of Shelby county,
which now has but $4,000 for its 500
miles Of highways and pixies, it would
thus have S65O,O00, though for $780,
600 its roads could be well kept up.
The appropriation from Jefferson and
Kenton would be enormous.
Nothing is more serious to the
itinerant merchants or the immense
rural population of Kentucky than
roads Any politician who, like Gov
ernor Wilson, Travelled 10000 miles on
roads during a campaign, knows that
the hardships to be undergone are
really tremendous. Often Wilson was
so sore from the jolting on some noun
tain COW path that he would fall from
his horse and, lying down on a rock,
refuse to ride step farther until his
aching back was at ease. Once In
coming down a steep hillside in Letch
er county, made uncomfortable even by
the sure footed horse because Of its
disrepair and roughness, the animal
stumbled.
Gosh" gasped Wilson, "there near

Should the people ratify the Bos-

era of road building such as the peO- /

will be appointed and competent civil
engineers put in charge Of the work.

Of gravel alongside at frequent inter

The Wisconsin state organization

The Wisconsin state organization OF
the American Society of Equity has
arranged for pool of 1850, 600
pounds of tobacco and decided to shut
out from membership all growers who
refuse to enter such pool. It is pro-
posed to hold this tobacco until such
prices as may be stipulated by the
society can be obtained. This plan
may work all right with tobacco, a
product which can be kept in storage
for long period of time without de.
teriorating in value, but with potatoes,
onions and produce of similar nature
it is different.

issued by the Pueblo, Col, School
board forbidding football, the Central
high students appeared at school
dressed in kindergarten costumes the
boys in short pants carrying tops and
marbles, and the girls in short dresses
carrying dolls and Teddy bears: This
naturally created an uproar in school
and the faculty was compelled 60 dis
miss the classes. A school board that
refuses to permit its pupils to engage
in the invigorating, muscle-making
game of football should be kicked out

of place on school board.

The o n o n is q republican news
paper. We believe in the principles of
the republican party. William
Howard Taft is our choice for .presi-
dent. Besides being an ideal candi-
date himself: he stands for the policies
OF Theodore Roosevelt, and his elec-
ton means continuation of those
policies. We believe he will be elected.
It is: in our Judgment, for the best
interests of the wage earners, the farm
ers, the manufacturers and business
men generally that he should be
elected. But the democratic candidate
for the presidency, William Jennings
Bryan, although somewhat visionary,
is highminded patriotic gentleman,
and no man who believes in the prin-
ciples of the democratic party has any
reason to feel ashamed of him. In
this state the democratic candidate for
governor hardly ever mentions Mr..
Bryan's name. Are democrats who
are loyal to their national standard
bearer under any obligations to vote
for John A. johnson for governor?
