A DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.

The Bull Moose party at the meet
ing Of its state committee at Charles
ton last week elected Joseph Hand
Ian, Of Ohio county, as chairman. H!
Is an ex-Democrat and has fought
the Republican party all his life.
The avowed object OF the Bull
Moose committee in selecting an ex-
Democrat is to prevent the party co.
operating with the Republicans.
There is no secret about this. Ii
is believed and expected that Hand
Ian will do everything he can
against Republlcanism.
This is unfortunate, but it can not
be helped.
1t was sincerely hoped that some
man would be elected chairman who
would aid In unifying the Republi.
can party. However, this was not
done.
Handlan and his committee arc
opposed to lepublicanism.
Those who favor Republican prin.
ciples have but one place of refuge,
that is in the ranks of the grand old
party.
The place for a Republican is the
Republican party. He Is a stranger
any place. lse, and unwelcome. -

THE POWER OF PUBLICITY.
lRnston Globel

Boston Globe)
Advertising not only pays but its
value as news is coming to be more
and more appreciated. There is not
an enterprising corporation or
shrewd business firm that is not now
informing the public, through the
medium of advertising, what kind OF
new business each Is engaged in and
what are the prospects for the future
The old-timc methods of silence on
the part of public utility corpora
lions have been abandoned. Even
the Standard Oil company was final
Iy obliged to advertise its purposes
adm to authorize its managers to give
out interviews. No one is advertis-
ing to greater extent than the
heads of big transportation compa-
uics and those corporate bodies en-
gagged in the dissemination of intel
ligcncc by telegraph, telephone ami
wireless. These are sensible moves.
The public is intelligent enough
to appreciate all publicity based on
the truth. The youthful advertiser
succeeds all the time, and he is de
of all the increased patron
age he is sure to receive. When there
Is u lull in business from any cause
shrowd men of affairs get busy and

GOOD ROADS PAY WELL.

No community in the United States
should be without good roads. The
tax to pay for the building OF good
highways is a trifle compared to the
benefits OF first-class roads. 1t Is cs
timated that good roads add $40 an
acre to every acre of land through
which they run, while to build them
costs but n small portion of this
amount. Good roads mean saving
of time to the farmer and In the sec
tions where truck growing is TAX
ing the place of the large farms tho
good roads add to the value Of the
products. The man who raises veg
etables or fruit for market will find
that with good roads the express com

producers. This will eliminate tho

RIDING TWO HORSES,

The Times is endeavoring to per-
form the somewhat difficult feat o!
riding two horses at the same time.
This is impossible when the horses
are going in different directions, but
as the Democratic and the Bull Moose
horses are travelling in the same d.
rection, = are running mates,-thc
Times takes but little chances, ex'
cept the defeat of both its horses.
The Times will likely find that this
double team will not run as well as
either would singly.
