that is the whole trained force in the United

Why is it that SO many cities and towns
do not have their names plainly shown on
the railroad stations? While travelling
have often noticed this oversight. MANY
times | rush by place after place, some Of
them very attractive in their residences
and others full of Industries, and am inter
ested in their names. If the name appears
at all, too frequently 1t is in small faded
letters. tucked away at the end of the sta
ton almost out of sight. Are not the rail
roads or the people of these communities
interested in giving the information TO the
public? One can always readily read the
signs of the express company and of the bic
business concerns along the railroad, be.
cause they realize the advertising value OF
signs large enough and plain enough to be
read.
Up in the hills of New Hampshire is the
quaint, old city of Keene, with wide streets
bordered with stately elms. The CONNER
cial Club of that town, with real Yankee
Keene.ness, knows that 1T pays TO adver-
Use" and has erected at the station a sign
which gives the town name in big, clear-cut
letters. 1t also states that railroads from
four directions center in Keene, that it is
only 80 miles from Boston and 210 from
New York. Then follows the population and
a list Of the manufactures that make the
town thrive. And with commendable fore
thought the club, through the sign, tells the
stranger the advantages of the town-cEeap
electric power, pure water, best of factory
sites, tax. exemption and, strahgest Of all, in.
dustrial content. The last Is the Keynote of
Keene's commercial growth.
The remotest town can at least see that
a sign is on the depot or can re-paint the old
one. Travelling should be a Stimulus to ones
civic pride. An obsefyaht person can learn
what other progressive places are doing,
and on returning to his home city be able
to institute helpful reforms and improve

Why Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt should be nominated
for president Of the United States because
ii is TO the interest OF the United States to
nominate him, and therefore in the inter-
entg 81 the Republican party.
There will be no pussy footing on any
issue Roosevelt has raised.
The platform must be a~ntihyphen.
II must be for a policy of ample and thor
ough preparedness, to the end that Ameft
cans Of whatever creed may be protbcted IN
their right the world over.
Such a policy should be adopted as the
best way in which to maintain honorable
peace with all the world and avoid war.
The new period that is opening In our ma
tional life-the higher, broader purposes
and responsibilities we are to face as a ma.
tion-4wif stand in history as another Kocse-
yeIt period-a new and greater service to
his country by the man who as president did
10 much before. 1t has not been Necessary
for him to bear d title to vision the nations

ahead and so clearly, to arouse it to its dan
gers and its duties while others silently
