If they keep on investigating
Lorimer, they will soon make the
people believe that he is being
prosecuted and turn sympathy in
his favor. He may be guilty of
bribery as charged. but there has
been so much perjury to convict
him, the public have no confidence
in the entegrity and truthfulness Of
his prosecutors.

Should the decision of Judge
Sanborn declaring the Minnesota
state law fitting the passenger rate
on the railroads at cents per mile
invalid, the states will become but
mere dependencies of the general
government without the power to
make laws for their own govern
ment. 1t is to be hoped that the
supreme court will reverse the
decision that the states may not be
robbed of their right of local self
government, not inconsistent with
the federal constitution.

Big Ed made up for the beating given
him by Master Russell in Chicago The
onslaught seemed to unnerve Mr. Ford

So long as land was plentiful and
cheap intensive farming was out of the
question. Farmers found it cheaper
and more profitable to cultivate large
sress in somewhat superficial manner
than to go to the expense OF extra labor
and fertilizers that intensive farming
demands. But with the rapid growing
population and steady advance in farm
values farmer and gardeners will sooner
or later find that it will pay them better
to get twice the number of bushels of
grain from an acre than spread that
number over two acres.

Some magazines are exploiting the
wonderful precocity of some children.
ard the parents of these children have
been airing their methods by which they
haYe enabled the children at the tender
age of ten or twelve to absorb as much
or even more, wisdom and knowledge as
the average person can do in twice that
number of years. 1t is all very enter
tanning and interesting, no doubt, but in
all probability the methods if generally
applied would end in failure. The very
rare instances of precocious minds that
keep their strength and elasticity to
mature years only go to show that the
Admirable" Crichton's and Lord Ma
cauley's are very few and far between.
Usually these phenomenal youthful
minds degenerate into learned ounces.
Anyway, the great majority of people
will continue to prefer that children
shall be children to enjoy life in childish
manner and develop naturally along
mental and physical lines, and not at
the early age of ten talk like old men of
seventy.

THE NEED OF A WEEKLY REST.

Whether for good or ill the popular

who works seven days in the week is
physically and mentally burning the
candle of life at both ends.
This has always been true. In the
height of the great French revolution
when its leaders declared that every
thing savoring of religion should be de-
stroyed, the observance of Sunday was
officially abolished and one day in ten
was substituted as day of rest and en-
Joyment. A very few years sufficed to
show that the change was injuriously
affecting individual life and consequent
ly national life, and return to the kind

business and social life was not so siren

gree, in nervous and other ailments.

Is this the same Henry c. Stuart.
who, when trying to square himself
with his constituency, for fastening the
present constitution on the people of
the State, without allowing them to
vote on it would defend the suffrage
provision by the following reasoning
The man who does not personally paw
his poll tax should not be allowed to
vote?
If it is why this change of front?
Did the provisions of the constitution
regarding the poll tax back fire and is
this the reason that the honorable gen
tleman wants the poll tax of his con-
stituents of Russell paid out of com

ference to him about their being "al-
lowed to vote" in the case where he or
the machine needs the votes.

The local retailer can apply a lesson
from this to himself. If those mail or
der houses spend so much mopey to get
one new customer, why should a retail
er not make an effort in the same direc-
ton? Why should he not adopt the
same means of attractive salesmanshlr
on paper? If he can bring even one
new customer a week to his store with
an expenditure that is many times be-
low what a mail order house has to nav
Tor getting the same results, il is worth
while paying closer attention to this
successful method of selling. If he can
influence more than one customer. and
1t would be poor local newspaper adyer-
Using indeed that could not do that, he
would be accomplishing far more than

paid selling experts. And as a business
man, he could congratulate himself on q

the cheapest salesman on his force.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 8, 1911.
THE RUSSELL COUNTY CASE.

In our issue of April 9th, we repub-
lished an editorial from the Bristol
Herald Courier under the caption
Election Corruption in WISE" in
which they said:
Judge II. A. W. Skeen, of the circuit
court of the counties of Wise, Lee and
Dickinson, is said to have served notice
on the people of those counties that he
is going to put stop to election frauds
within his jurisdiction. He
has also notified the treasurers of the
counties in which he holds court that he
will hold them responsible for any ir-
Irregularities in the payment Of poll taxes.
He will not permit the payment of poll
taxes in bulk, by any one person, and if
a treasurer receives money from any
person in that way, he will be required
to investigate the matter and determine
whether or not the money was paid by
the persons against whom the polls
were assessed.
Success, therefore, to Judge Skeen
and to all other judges in Southwest
Virginia who may move against this
dangerous evil.
The Republican in commenting on the
above congratulated Judge Skeen on
his stand and hoped-yet feared-that
his example would spread throughout
the Ninth and that by a cooperation of
the courts with the county officers we
would have what every good citizen
devotedly hopes for-an honest cleo
ton.
What happens, however? In Russell
the treasurer finding the poll taxes of
some of the voters being paid Gin bulk
by one person" out of a common
fund" and not out of 1.-The means or es-
tate" of the taxpayer, very properly
refused to put them on the voting list.
The voters took the matter into court,
in another circuit, and the judge did not
take the same view as Judge Skeen as
to permitting the payment of poll taxes
in bulk and consequently ordered the
names to be placed on the voting list.
A word to the independent Demo
Gratis. Let them not think this move is
only against the Republicans. 1t is
strictly a machine move and directed as
much against the Democrats who are
tired of machine rule as against the
Republicans, and its sole aim is to
strengthen and perpetuate the ignomin-
ious machine rule that now disgraces
the State.

The chances are that if you go into
almost any store in a country town, at
the present time, and tell the store
keeper that his cheapest salesman is
his advertisement in the local newspa-
per, and he will laugh at you. He will
laugh because he does not know what
craftsmanship means. 1t is the mere
showing of his goods to any customer
that has the good luck to come into his
store, according to his lights. He does
not realize that it is possible for custom
ers to be enticed to his store to actually
demand goods that they never thought
they wanted before.
1t is comparatively easy matter to
sell woman or man goods when you
have them in your store and can lay the
wares right in front of them. In such
case much more than nine-tenths of
the selling act has already been accomp-
lished by the coming of your customer
to the store. Even then a salesman
who can get big results in the store is
classed as high-grade, and his salary,
no matter how large, is considered a
reasonable expenditure and, in many
cases, cheaply spent.
To cause a customer to have a desire
to come to your store, where no desire
existed before, requires salesmanship of
a high order. Such craftsmanship makes
new customers-builds your business
and lays, in short, the foundation of
your fortune. No retail business of
modern times can make a great success
without such salesmanship-wit in
other words, the proper utilization of
space in your local newspaper. Consid-
ering the results this kind of q sales
manship obtains, it is the best and
cheapest you can buy.
This efficient use of space in your To-
cal newspaper has been called sales
manship on paper. If you fill the space
with forceful matter that will create
attention, cause conviction and bring
results, you have an addition to your
sales force that may surely De called the
best promoter on your staff. The re-
suits that are obtained from this sales
manship depend on the selling ability
used. But no matter what results are
obtained, the quality of salesmanship
necessary is much greater than that re-
quired inside the store.
The big mail-order houses reckon that
they must pay so much money for every
inquiry they get. The amount of this
sum is ascertained by dividing all the
money spent on advertising and selling
literature by the number of letters re.
ceived in answer to the same. This re-
fers to inquiries only. Not every in
quirer becomes a customer. The secur-
ing of actual customers costs more. The
money that has to be spent to get one
new customer by those concerns would
astonish the local retailer. 1t is USUALLY
not less than the amount spent on sew
eral weeks advertising by the average
local storekeeper. The craftsmanship on
paper that is necessary to do all this is
the finest that can be got for money and
1t is considered cheap at the enormous
price paid for it because it is engaged
In building up big mail order business
with new material.
