Mr. Editor:
Please allow me a small space in
your valuable paper this week to en-
dorse all that has been said in advo-
cacy of DR.. II. u. Stephenson s
candidacy for the Legislature from
this district. He is just the kind of
man. in my opinion. the people
should have to represent them in
the Legislature. A true and loyal
Democrat to start with. he possesses
that rare qualification of good sound
political sense. and with a good col
legiate training that will enable him
10 stand on his feet and espouse any
bill his constituents may place in his
hands for the welfare of this district
and those who oppose him will find
a foeman worthy of his steel.
feel that the Democrats Of this Legi
slarive district could point with pride
to DR.. Stephenson as their repre-
sentative in the next Legislature
one who will fill the bill in ever!
respect. with credit to himself anC
honor to his constituents. Let u
make his nomination and election
] unanimous.

Seven Years Ago Today.

Seven years ago today DR.. J. n.
Stone. the druggist. took charge of
the drug store of the late Henley T.
Jones. DR.. Store came from city
where progressive men had learned
the value of printers ink. and from
the very beginning he has been a
liberal user Of it. He is not a quit
ter at anything and he has not quit
using a goodly amount of that pan
acea for business ills. advertising.
OF course advertising alone Will
not make a business successful
But combine advertising with good
article. back it with honest methods
and square dealing. and they will
win every time.
The Gazette congratulates DIR.
Stone on his seventh anniversary.
on his success, and better still for
the reputation he has established
both as a druggist and as an honest.
square man. A community is rich
that has men of character as its Cit

Mr., Editor:
In pursuance Of my promise made
in my last communication on the
school question" I will give my de-
ductions as to the cause Of all the
rage manifested by the public gen
crafty when the recommendations Of
assistant superintendent were made
known
In undertaking to fathom the cause
of this howl, hue and cry, l was told
by the friends of the denoted that
not one of therH had been given the
slightest intimattion by the assistant
superintendent during the Whole
school year, that his work was not
satisfactory On the contrary, the
glad hand was invariably extend

given to younger and more brilliant
pedagogue,, maybe This recon-
mendation failed, however.
Next the principal of the NJ Street
High School was to be denoted and

meaner attempt to humiliate a man

with it. 1t was not made for the
good of the system. His presence
at this school could only embarrass
the principal and add nothing to the
working force; it savored of per-
sonaI spite and the School Board
would have made a grevious mistake
had they allowed it to stand.
\ woman teacher is recommended

er Every person with whom I have
talked who knows anything about
this teachers ability to teach, and
who is familiar with school work,
tessifes that she is an exceptionally
good teacher. Why denote her
Why beat around the bush ?" It
does seem to me that some person
connected with these schools should
meet these issues in manly way.
Next, we have to consider the new
appointee to the principalship of the
NJ Street High School. He is
highly recommended by DR.. Charles
z, living, president of the Western
Reserve University, as an instructor
in reference works, criticising and
selection Of books" also of biblo-
graphy. all of which is very good

recruit has knowledge of the book,

keep his hand there, that contains a

his second year, at the farthest, he
will be wiser, and will IN all liikeli-
hood willingly take himself back to

The failure of an appropriation for

source of complaint. Neither the

responsible for that.
