THE CALIBRE OF THE GOVERNOR
REFLECTED IN HIS ACTIONS


The recent action OF Governor Nc
Govern in removing Herman L EkerI
from the office of Commissioner o
Insurance, for pretended political ac-
tivity in the speakership contest
on the part of Mr Ekerh, is another
great mistake of the Governors His
political ascendency has been reach
ed and he is ON the down7grade. He
will never reach the U. S. Senate
goal.
His first great mistake occurred
at the Republican National conven-
ton II Chicago last summer, when
he betrayed Senator La Toilette S
interests in that convention for self
qualification and in the interests of
another candidate
His second mistake was when he
allowed himself to be re-nominated
as a Republican on the State ticket
and after he was safely re-nominated
by that party announce his allegianc'
to the Third Party or Bull Moose
party. Such treachery is bound to
bring his downfall.
His third mistake was commit
ted last week Wednesday in his at
tempt to remove Herman L. Ekern
from the office of Insurance Com
missioner upon so slimpsy an ex-
cuse of political activity upon the Sc
lection of a speaker for the Assem-
bly, We will wager that Mr.. Ekern
was not nearly as active IN that con-
test as the Governor was himself.
The Governor, apparently, is looking
for trouble and he VIII find plenty
of it before this session is over with.
Herman L. Ekern is admitted to
be the best Insurance Commissioner
that has ever graced that office. In
his removal the people of the state
suffer a great loss thereby.
The people will not submit to such
an outrage and We don't believe the
State Senate viii consent to the
Governor action in this respect. If
the published reports are true in re-
ference to what took place in the eS
ecutive office on the part of the Gov
ernor he acted more like a hot head
ed ward politician, than a states
man possessing executive discretion
and ability When q man start
downward he a0DaarS IN accent ey-
cry opportunity that is Offered and
the Governor appears to be living
strictly up to the rule We shall watcf
Developments in this Ekern matter.

PUBLICITY IN NEWSPAPERS

NJ. ". Cresak, yice-president Of
Hart Schaffner & Marx Of Chicago,
IN an article in the Chicago Sunday
Tribune, says:
advertising is a business by itself
it reflects the character and policy
Of the store, and unless il is done
right a wrong impression will be Civ
en- which only time and change can
eradicate An advertisement IN a
local newspaper is a salesman talk
ing to many people at once and if
done poorly it creates a worse i'm
preston than poor clerk who comes
in contact with only limited por-
ton of the public.
THE accepted mediums OF advertis
ing are newspapers, Booklets, per
sona1 letters, street cars, etc. Show
windows are often called advertising,
but the word really means those forms
of publicity addressed to all the
people, including those who do not
pass the store or come in contact
with the men who conduct it.
A merchant can afford to spend a.
bout 4 per cent of his sales for ad-
vertising. On a capital of s. 900 and
annual sales $50, 900 his outlay should
be about $500 per year He should
not try to thinIy cover the whole
Fl old of hct+nr +ro II,
on a few and cover them we'll.
If the capital employed is $1,000
the rental advertising expenses,
etc, suggested above can be multi
pied by two; $4,000, by four, and so
on up"

STARTING z DIARY.

january First has always been the
faVOrite date for beginning diary,
which was once about the most pop
ular gift on the Christmas tree.
There is always something inviting
about the fresh emptiness of a di-
ary's pages. As you look ahead thru
these blanks, life looks like new coun-
try, untrodden, delightfully."- porten-
tious with big things you hope to do
and unforeseen experiences, all to be
recorded therein.
The modern form of journal, com
pact, with a few lines set apart for
each date, the same amount for the
ordinary day at the office as for the
day when you are married, repre-
sents all that this hurrying age cares
to record of its history. The real
old time diaries bullying with heart
throbs were built ON fat blank books
undated, with illimitable space for
the chronicle of emotions.
The fine art of keeping diary is
too little attempted in our hustlng
days With active young persons the
entries soon dwindle and scatter
after the manner of a boy hero of
Susan Coolidgeis:-
Jan. 10-Forgit what did.
Jan. 12.-Pleasant. Went skating.
Jan. 14-Forgit what did.
Jan. 17.-Stormy-
Jan. 20-Forgit what did.
Jan. 25.-Forgit what did
Youthful persons of seriously in
prospective habits must have been
influenced by those standard example
the DIARY of Miss Thingumbob'' or
somebody else, formerly found on
every book shelf. These ominous
volumes bound in black, partly a story
of times of Iaborious toll, were still
more a record of morbid consciences.
You read about the funerals attended
melancholy contemplation and over
critical self examination.
Perhaps these bilious records led
to decline in the habit of diary keep
ing And this is an age of anitci-
patton rather than retrospect. Even
the ootogenarian may read the base
ball scores rather than dream of
the past in the chimney corner.
A diary need never be morbid. A
we'll kept journal written in CHEEKY
style keeps alive many golden hours,
and will give our lives human interest
to our grandchildren.

how quickly these companies felt

PRETTY GIRLS PLAY
TO CAPACITY HOUSE
IN FEMININE FARCE

Pretty girls, whose technique ranged
from the heavy lines of Sarah Bern
hardt to the easy laughter of Mary
Marble, delighted their friends by the
amateur presentation of a real play, "A
Girl in Thousand" at Gable hall last
night.
And yet 1t was not amateurish at
that The girls of the cast are students
Of expression in the Atlanta Conserva-
tory of Music, and some of them have
ambitions that include the professional
ootlights-justifiable ambitions, too.
Gable hall was crowded beyond its
capacity. A play by the conversatory
students is always an event in Atlanta.
SO much was proved last night.
Miss Verna Ruth Harris, as Vivian
Glendon, was the girl in a thousand"
a very delightful heroine. But no one
is to be selected above the other for
excellence of work. The girls all
pleased their audience, in moods of
laughter and of tears-laughter most of
the time.
