The management OF The Republic

the past two years to .aroyide for the

hum. Tho circulation of The Re.

A Mitchell shoe dealer was real
" surprised when he began securing
! number Of mail order from SO to
100 miles away, through his adver-
lisement in The Republican.
It is impossible for any advertiser
70 estimate what it is worth to him
to reach every day these people who

ells After these people have read
their advertisements for months or
years, they come to feel that they
want to do business with them. The
Republican is the medium through
which the up-to-date business man
Of Mitchell can cement himself to
the people in all the territory around
about the city.
When a crowd Of 1000 people as

comes an imposing gathering. But
a total Of 1920 consumers are
reached every day through The Re
publican, for it is universally esti-
mated that every copy of a newspa-
per serves five consumers. If it
were possible to assemble 49, 600
people in n throng and speak to
them in behalf of MitchelFs stores,
1t would be considered a great un-
dertaking. But The Republican does
more than that. 1t goes into the
homes of that number, it is read by
the fresides, and any message to
these people through The Republi.
can is certain to be received.
The Republican wishes to express
Its appreciation of the very effective
efforts made by the various young
women who took part in Its contest.
They include a splendid lot of young

TRIALS OF AN ALDERMAN.


Alderman Finley, OF New York, IS
tired OF his public duties and wants to
90 back on the police force, OF which
he formerly was an efficient member.
His salary as alderman is $4,000; that
of policeman is $1,4OO; but he pre-
fers teh smaller pay. This is what he
saws AS alderman get $4,000, but
when YOU have taken out he price Of
picture.show tickets, and what you
spend buying cigars and Kinks for con-
stituents and helping out the poor IN
your district, there is nothing in It,
I'd rather be back pounding the pave
ment. guess am too honest to be
an alderman"
What is true OF New York is true OF
other cities. Until a man holds public
office and experiences the unusual de-
mands made upon his purse, ne little
realizes what he is expected to do out
side of his official duties. 1t Is the
same story in the legislature OF most
States, particularly in city districts
and districts tina are close. Some say
that congressman has even a worse
time. The situation is likely to i'm
prove but little, for the poor we have
with us always, and the tribe oil
spongers and grafters is not lessening
appreciably.

The people OF the United States are
not going to lose their confidence in
President Taft because Of some IN
fellcitous speeches that he may make,
or because they canont always agree
with him in his opinions. The best
OF men, II they are conscientious and
outspoken, will sometimes say things
that are not politically diplomatic or
things they should not have said. we
do not ask perfection from them on
this score. What we do ask Is that
their purposes shall be sound and true,
their conduct honest and their aims
conducive IN the main to the general
welfare. :.
The longer Mr.. Taft meets, one aft.
er another, the responsibilities that
confront him and the more the people
see into the workings OF his mind, the
more they must respect his Qualities
OF head and heart. All Of US disagree
nj times with what he says; all OF US
at some time or other wish he would
do things differently. But In the main
not only the causes that he advocates
hut his mental attitude toward the su.
preme things in government, must
command the sympathy and support
Of public sentiment at its best.
See how high-minded and sensible
he is about our duty toward Mexico;
our antipathy toward anything that
savors Of aggression; our immortal
dream of universal eace; our repug'
nance to the laws delay and hope Tor
judicial reform. Toward a better
banking and currency system, toward
1.-The enforcement of law on rich and
poor alike, toward te -ahlleviaton Of
excessive tariff burdens, and toward
the wise and honest legislator OF what
ever party, his feeling is precisely that
which characterizes, and should char
acterize, the thoughtful and right
minded citizen.

act of w. e. Chiffon and his associates
relative to the debt claim, has been In
the interest of Virginia andtnot in the

His PERSONAL organ has been foul,mai
licious and criminal. Its attack upon
the governor Of West Virginia has de-
liberately miscopstrued his motives

his actions and all apparently for no
other purpose than for to help force a

PLEASURE IN SMALL QUANTITIES

Half the 10y Of life comes from get
ting the good out OF things as we go
along. Some OF us are always putting
off our enjoyments. After a while we
expect to take o rest, see a friend or
read book. But after while never
comes. The good time We are look
ing forward to lies as far ahead as
ever. All life is spent in meaning to
overtake and enjoy 1t. Meanwhile we
toll, drudge and grow old, passing by
with an unseing eye the happiness we
might get out OF every day. Yes, ev'
cry sordid, commonplace day has It's
wealth of enjoyment for us, If we only
took the trouble to get 1t out. There
are dozens of simple pleasures which
we might enjoy. Ten minutes every
day with fascinating book; fifteen
minutes Of bright, intelligent CONVEX
sation with the home folks on some
otehr subject than the sordid details.
Of making ends meet; a few minutes
in an art gallery, Just to look at one
good picture, these are some OF the
little everyday happinesses we might
take, and don't, not because we are
too poor, but because we haven't
thought them worth while. We are too
busy aiming at some big, expensive
pleasure In the future. Make up your
mind, then, that the big pleasure will
always elude you. We shall never en-
Joy life until We learn to enjoy the l
little happiness Of every como rnnplaee
day as we go along

drew three cards and the Colonel said,
in a nonchalant, bored manner, ne
guessed he would take one. Then the
betting began and grew fiercer and

the stranger raised him back again.
Finally Lyon called.

ID Chiffon and W. A, MacCorkle, has
been fora number OF years persist

state okdWest Virginia owes and Will
6e compelled to pay the State of Viz.
ginia several million dollars. 1t
lfeached this idea as far back as the
legislative session Of 1907.
1.-THE representatives OF the Virginia
debt commission, who have visited
Charleston, have Invariably made the
ONCE Of Chiton.MacCo & Chiffon
their headquarters.
Joseph Chiffon, the senior member
Of this firm, and the elder brother OF
W. 3. Chiffon, can be heard on the
streets of Charleston every day urg-
ing the settlement OF the Virginia debt,
on terms favorable to Virginia.
In an address at Martinsburg, W.
Va, Senator Chiffon held up his hands
81 holy horror so to speak, and de-
nounced those West Virginians who
have been vigorously and mistakenly
stirglng that the Virginia debt claim
should be resisted as long as 1t Is prac'
ficai to resist It. Senator Chiffon has
suddenly developed great fear OF re.
phdiation, although in his personal and
political career the senator has never
shown any hesitancy in reputation OF
any obligation which he found 1t con-
Henlent to repudiate.
