A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Never did the great common
people have such a chance to
to their own as now. The big
interests have for years been f.
nancing the campaigns and then
claiming the right to dictate to
the successfulcandidate in which
they have generally been success
full.
Governor Wilson positively re-
fuses to accept any Of their mon
ey, but is looking to the people
to furnish the necessary funds for
the expenses Of his campaign, so
that when elected he can take
the Office amenable to none but
them.
In this splendid address to the
editors at | ouisville last Saturday
Chairman Johnson N. Camden, of
The Democratic Campaign Com
mittee, laid especial emphasis
on the people taking advantage
of their opportunity and by help
ing to pay the expences of the
campaign, keeping the rich men
from doing so, and give the DEM
agogues no chance to in1ame the
masses against the rich. 1t will
increase their love for country
and be a test of enlightened and
patriotic manhood. If they fail
to do so next campaign may see
the old order of things resumed.
Let u.s., !" as Mr. Camden says,
ION our part uphold Woodrow
Wilson and see that he is not left
to the humiliation Of of asking his
personal friends to pay him out
of debt"

One hundred and fifty of the
electors who were nominated by
the regular republican state con-
ventions in the various states Of
the United States have announc-
ed that, if elected, they will cast
their votes in the Electoral Col
lege foi Mr.. Roosevelt. With
this state of fact existing, and
the hopelessly divided condition
of the party, it is worse than alb
surd to claim the slightest hope
of Taft's election.

The man who has confidence in
and in the resources Of
his country generally succeeds.
DR.. S. r. Collier is one of our
citizens who backs his judgment
with his money. He believed,
Notwithstanding the failure Of
others to find it. that there was
oil in Morgan county. He put
his money in the test well at
Camel City and the result is a
good producer. We sincerely
congratulate him on his success.
The purpose of this is not to eu-
logic DR.. Collier. Such men
do not need it. But we do de-
sire to illustrate, by him, what a
man can do who has confidence
in himself and is not afraid to
act on his judgment.
There are scores of other
sources of wealth and employ
ment in Morgan county that are
lying dormant for the reason
that nobody is seeking to devel-
op them; and there is not the
risk in them that is in the oil
business. none of our citizens
seem willing to get behind them.
We could have a railroad in West
Liberty in twelve months if the
citizens really wanted it. We
could have macadam roads al
over the county if the people Of
the county were willing to bond
the county to build them. We
could have factories and other
wealth producing enterprises il
we would work together fol
them. But we are afraid to take
the risk.
The people look only at the
taxes to be paid for building
good roads and overlook the fac
that good roads would make i
far easier to pay the taxes; they
fail to consider that good roads
would increase the value of theil
farms, give them a market 70,
products and give them employ
ment for their teams during tn,
season Of comparative idleness.
Wake up, men! Let's imbibo
a little faith in our ability to d
things and concentrate our ener
gies toward making town ant
county what they should be.

The November election is less

1Ure do we remember Of seeing
so little interestmanifested in a
presidential election. The regu-

Taft winning. The Progressives
know that it is folly to even
think of landing Roosevelt and
the Democrats seem to be con-
tent to just let Wilson drift in on

The merchant with a good
head advertises EXTENSIVELY and
persistently, his customers COM
eth from far and near. His
wares and. merchandise are
sought after and he waxeth fat
and wealthy. His place Of bust
ness has busy and prosperous
air and the sheriff hath no exc
cutlons against him and the
drummers avoid him not. Veri-
ly, his days are filled with peace
and prosperity because he adver-
tises muchly with printers ink.

But there are a few country
newspapers who haven't good
heads. Witness: those who do
not have the backbone to demand
fair compensation for their SER
vices. They let merchant, man.
ufacturer and patent medicine
agent beat down the price OF
space until their business is on
the ragged edge, boost schools,
churches and individuals inces-
sanity and receive the reward OF
frequent cussing for not print
ing a better paper.
Not so with the publisher with
a good head. He realizes the
dignity Of his calling, demands
and receives just remuneration
for his services and conducts his
newspaper in such a manner as
to cause everybody to regard il
a gentleman.
Such newspapers are doing
more good for the uplift of hui
manitS1tha any other force, anC
this influence has been acquired
because the public has been mad
