OPINIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS.

When you hire a man to do a GER
tain kind of work for you, do you
hire him because of his belief in GER
tain things or because he is fitted to
perform the work to be done? Do
you ask him is he is wet" or dry"
Methodist, Catholic or atheist? Or
do you ask if he can be trusted to
do the work we'll? Nine men out OF
ten do and all should ask the latter
question in their private business.
Why not do the same in the mat
ter of the selection of public serv-
ants? Why not put aside the ques-
ton of the opinions of the candi-
dates before the people and look at
their qualifications. Look at wheth-
er or not they have been true to
their trusts with others. That is
the way business men do.
The writer heard a very success
full lawyer in the middle west once
say that his best clients were men
he had previously won lawsuits
against. They came to him because
they saw that he had served their
opponents well in previous suits.
Corporations do this not only in
legal but in other lines.
In Brainerd, Mimi, a few years
ago there was privately owned wa
ter plant which was poorly managed
and at swords points with the city
council, one of whose members, a
clerk in the railroad shops, was lead
er in the fight against the poor SER
vice. Did the water company make
it personal matter and fight this
mans reelection to the council? No.
They hired him to take charge of the
plant and he increased its efficiency
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Another instance: In the same
town a mayor who believed in eff
cheney rather than opinion appointed
a bartender as chief of police. His
first official act was to arrest his
former employer for violation of the
liquor laws. He is still chief and
making good.
In Ashland each voter should ask
regarding each candidate, not what
does he believe, but how ably will he
fill the position sought and how
faithfully. Has he in his own busi-
ness affairs proven honest and of
good judgment?
Do not grab at rumors of crooked
ness made against men as candidates
which spring up at election and have
not been heard of before. They may
be true, but the chances are that
they are false or colored. Because
a man is well-to-do does not mean
that he is a CRATER. He may have
made his money honestly. Because
he is poor does not mean a man is
honest. He may only have lacked the
opportunity to graft. The man to
suspect is the man who goes into
office poor and comes out well fixed:
not the man who is we'll fixed when
he goes in.

CHRISTMAS STOCKS.

Have you looked over carefully the
stocks that our home merchants are
offering for Christmas?
Those of our people who are ac,
customed to make considerable pur-
chases at stores outside of our town
have no conception of the manner in
which local trade has broadened ont
of recent years.
Several causes have operated tc
increase the business of our home
stores. The country is growing more
wealthy, and more money is in cir
culation here than there was a few
years ago. The merchant buys big
ger stocks because he is selling more
goods, and he consequently keeps
better assortments.
Furthermore, the home merchant
is studying the needs of his trade as
never before. Many man ten years
ago took what the salesman handed
out to him without much question.
but today he is putting in a lot of
time studying the bottom facts of his
business. He reads more trade pa
pers, he visits the wholesale houses
more frequently, he studies what is
being sold in other towns, he de-
mands a higher standard of durabil-
ity, and he sees goods with more at
tention to artistic merit.
The man who buys at home today
is getting a discriminating efficiency
in the service the merchant renders.
plus the security that comes from
buying of someone you know.
