THE NEW COINS AND BILLS

The changes now being made in the
designs of paper money and Of the
five cont piece arc received with some
derision by humorous, parasraphers.
Nevertheless. every man who ever had
much to do with the printing business
will be pretty sure to welcome the pro-
posed changes as soon as they appear.
Any printer with an eye for crafts
manship would say that the designs of
American coins and paper money have
looked about like the printing that
used to be put out 25 to so years ago.
Any man with an eye for form
should see how great an Improvement

and commonplace drawing CT the old
copper. The slender and graceful let
toring tho suppression Of needless de-
tail so as to throw attention on
the central features, and tho graphic

a design of which Americans nay well
be proud.
II you look over the types CT a print
shop, you can detect the old faces by
their coarse shading, and the stiff
monotony of their box like right ang-
les. The fat letters on tho old coins
and on the present paper money are
like these old type faces. A coed prin-
ter would scarcely care to turn out

Although the people Of that common
wealth refused, at the last election, to
repeal the death penalty, exceptional
efforts were made to influence Cover
nor West to commute the sentences.
Among those who interested them
selves was Mrs. Charles D. Wynne, of
klamath Falls, who offered to give her
life that the murderers might live
The sincerity of the woman'a letter
makes it apparent that she is not
aware that the governor could not ac-
cept the sacrifice, and, therefore the
letter proves a sermon and should be
read by all those thoughtlesl people
who believe legal execution to be right.
Here it is:
Governor West, it is a terrible
thing to take human life," she says.
Suppose that the people wil!-d tnat

do it? Then think of tNo man wnvs
duty it will be to send those souls to
eternity. Suppose the people willed
that you should stick knife into each
of those five warm, throbbing hearts,
and have the warm blood squirt over
your hands, could you ever cleanse the
stain? Is 1t not the very same SIN
to hang them?
Suppose you took a wild bird and
put it into cage and then tortured
it and finally when it was stupid with
fear, killed it. 1t is the same with
those men. They were put in a cage
and have suffered thousand deaths
since their sentence Once those men
were tiny babies You knew what
they were. Their mothers loved and
fcndled them, the same as your mo-
ther did you. Are their mothers alive?
If SO, think Of their anguish CT soul at
the fate of the little boys they held
upon heir knees. Are their mothers
dead? Think of what might have been

places and think of your mother. y

THE APPEARANCE
OF PROSPERITY

One of the reasons why advertising
has enlarged so much during recent
years, Is that alert sellers of mer-
chandise realize that business to
succeed must carry an atmosphere of
success about it.
The man who walks up to business
office in soiled clothes, with his face
unshorn and his boots dirty, may have
good qualifications for the job for
which he asks. But the chances are
that he gets turE,6 down simply on
his appearance. He looks as if he had
been failure in what he had prev
>iously undertaken. This may seem a
superficial way for an employer o.
labor to judge OF IN applicant But
he simply has to Judge of mans true
nature by such exterior signs as he
can detect and usually these tell the
story correctly.
The public judges Of a merchants
! character, of his enterprise and relia-
bility, by similar exterior signs. First
and foremost they consider his DISPOSE
ton to tell about his goods by adver-
Using.
They feel that man who does not
advertise is net in the game, if in
deed they think of him at all. They
think that he does not have the Ell
terprise to keep up with the ordinary
methods by which a merchant serves
the public efficiently.
They question, too, whether his
goods are of such standard character
that he can afford to guarantee their
quality and good, value through the
publicity of advertising. 1t looks, too,
as If they were being sold at prices
that could not be made attractive
to the buyer If publicly described.
A good sized advertisement, big
enough to look as il firm were on
the map and in the game, has just
the effect on a business that is given
to man by wearing good clothes and
presenting brisk, alert. and wide
awake manner. 1t indicates prosper
ity. and suggests that a merchant has
record of having given satisfaction
to the public.

Steubenville, Ohio, December 5.-In- dictments growing out of the grand jury investigation into charges of vote buying in Jefferson county during the recent election are to be returned to- morrow morning.

 association and also the meeting of the Alabaam Cotton Seed Crushers' associa- tion.
 For a number of years I was actively engaged in the cotton oil business, durir g which time I learned that MT. Ashcraft Instead of ''robbing the poor farmer" was more often robbed. I use this expression not as indicating any dishonesty on the part of the farmer, but to indicate results from oil milling. Many mills have II earned 6 per cent during the past ten years, and I know some that have never declared q dividend. Should MT Aderhod have any idea of selling his farm and in- vesting the proceeds in the oil mill business he will be overrun with offers to sell either stock of an etire mill property. I make this statement advisedly, though I have no interest in any oil mill and am there fore not in any position to sell him ex- cept as an agent or broker.

to give up the honors of a iudgeship.
 Mighty Few men care to lead forlorn hope And though conditions may change in four years, any way right at this time when leadership is needed 10 keep the remnants together and prepare them for the future, the leadership of the republican party does not hold out any great promises.
 Anyway they are going to have a get together" conference, and the President is going to give them the benefit of his advice and perhaps it will amount to something. There may be some life left in the g. O. D. yet, and it will be interesting Co see what all these great specialists agree upon, If they agree, and what course they will follow to restore the lost vigor and power to the once greatest factor ill our nation al politics
 It is quite evident that there Is no intention upon the part of those who deserted the party for the bull moose to return to the fold any way soon. As the new party recruited the most of it's strength from the republican party and hopes to bag the remainder, or at least they boldly declare that it is their in tention to do so, it would appear at this time that there is small hope for either of them to displace the democratic party in power, unless the democratic party itself furnishes good reasons for being displaced, and no one Is look ing for them to do so. Their enemies hope they will do so, they do not ex- pect it.

NS|DNA ALLEN SHOT
 ME, 7 SAID JUDGE

Wytheville, Va, December 5.-"Sidna Allen shot me. sidna Allen killed me-" were the dying words of Judge Thorn ton L. Massie as he lay shot down by the Allen clansmen in the Carroll courthouse last March, according to the testimony today, of Coroner Nuckols of Hillsville at Aliens trial here The defendant is accused of killing Commonwealth Attorney Foster, but the court admitted the testimony over the objections of counsel. Allen has been found guilty of second degree murder for Massie's death
 Testimony also was introduced to the effect that Floyd Allen. who was on trial when the Hillsville shooting oc- cured. had threatened to shoot up the court and kill Judge Massie if he was convicted. Counsel for the de- fense entered the exceptions to this tes- timory and the evidence regarding Judge Massie's dying statement
 Twenty-Five witnesses had been ex- amined when court was adjourned to- day. Most of the testimony was similar to that given by the witnesses in pre- vious trials growing out of the shoot ing

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The suggestion made by MT. Chappell Corey some time since relative to the ap- pcintment of Senator Joseph F. Johnston to the secretaryship of the treasury, by MT. Wilson, is an admirable one.
 Senator Johnston's qualifications Tor that post are superior by reason of his long business training in connection with large private interests, the results of which were practically demonstrated dur Ing his career as governor. While the state was not pinched in the preservation of its fostered interests by the slightest hint of penuriousness, and while its dig nifty throughout was maintained, the treasury was guarded with scrupulous care by Governor Johnston and kept in a healthy condition. It's condition at the close of the gubernatorial career reflected on him great credit. He has just the ap- titude. the habits and the peculiar ability for the national treasuryship, and it would be gratifying to his numerous friends to see him appointed to that position and become member of the cabinet of Presi- delit Wilson.
