600 pounds OF the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear

best of the London supply.

NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn is Stupid,
Is Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance Of the man who
arises to the minor heroism Of a cold
bath has been complained of by less
heroic folk who arise to a tepid or
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock OF cold wa
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim to immortality.
1t lacks moral sufficiency and is too
much made Of by the cold bather.
Another arrogance Is given consid-
Grafton by the Rev. Walter Dwight.
S. j., in America. 1t is the
OF early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. As a rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set"
appearing to believe that they move
on a higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being, no.
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into it. has felt the strange spiritual
affiatus, the moral patting on the back
in consequence thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done for
a naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight is remorseless The
early riser is the least intelligent Of
mankind.

WHY We FAVOR HAMMOND.

We are in favor of Congressman w.
8. Hammond for governor because we
consider him the best qualified of the
candidates on the ballot to fill this
high Office. We do not believe that
any Of the candidates opposing him
are rascals or crooks. On the other
hand they are honest gentlemen who
are exceptionally clean men of the
different groups to which they belong.
Those of the minority parties are men
Of strong convictions who are willing
to sacrifice themselves for the pur-
pose of bringing their principles to
the notice of the public. When an is
sue becomes sufficiently popular the
big politicians are usually on hand
ready to adopt them.
Congressman Hammond was called
to become candidate without any self.
seeking on his part. He won the
membership in Congress in a repub-
lican district by his progressive atti-
tude on public questions and by his
remarkable devotion to duty. In this
day and age it is refreshing to find a
man in public life who thinks his con-
stituents has the first claim upon him,
and his personal interests are secon-
Diary. Mr.. Hammond will go into the
governors chair splendidly equipped
to administrate the office and will give
the several departments the cleanup
which it appears are necessary per-
iodically to maintain the best eff
cheney in popular government. Natur-
ally, we would have preferred to see
Mr.. Hammond more outspoken on the
liquor question. On the other hand
we do not believe that the no-license
cause is going to suffer should Mr..
Lee be defeated. II we wished to
make our vote count exclusively on
the prohibition issue we would vote
for Mr.. Calderwood, the Prohibition
nominee.
