Good Roads Advocate Is
Presidential Candidate,

west Virginia, once known as Tic
state without modern road Is fast
;coming to the front in securing the
best types Of highways. The last few
years has seen bond issues amounting
into millions of dollars for building
better roads in this state.
When Coleman du Pont, nov. a can.
didate for the Republican nomination
Tor President OF tho United States,
lrst told the farmers Of the country
mat they were spending about 90
cents for every mile they hauled q ton
over poor roads and that this cost
could be reduced TO s cents per mile
on good roads, they were astounded
and slow to believe It. But du Pont
proved 1t to them. He put It up to
them as business proposition. And
that one statement OF his has done
moro than anything else to give i'm.
petus to the good roads movement.
Du Pont is one OF tho foremost bus.

OF this country have about decided
that 1t takes the same high class sort
OF business man to run the country's
business that II takes to run private
enterprises successfully. Unusual In.
terest attaches to du Pont as he Is the
first distlnctively business man who
has been cnsidered seriously for the
presidential honors for more than a
half a century. OF tho eleven presi.
dents since Lincoln died, not one had
the slightest business training.
Du Pont has been everything from
n day laborer in the coal mines to
head of one Of the greatest industrial
corporations in the world. He has
been banker, a farmer, a mine op.
orator and builder OF railroads and
has been signally successful in every.
thing he has undertaken. 1t has been

to ask for news and get joke on po-
litical candidate in return, is. to say
the least. disheartening. The tobac-
co chewing does not stop for the read
ing of the joke either.
Not infrequently the woman reporter
has peculiar experiences. People are
not always to be found where she has
been told they will be found. They
are not always in their offices either.
What would you think if you went
where you had been told certain man
was to be found and upon opening the
door you were confronted with an
empty room, with a davenport in one
corner. cards and pictures covering
the walls, and in one corner saw a
huge gun? Such a reception is un-
usual, but not impossible even here in
Columbia. However when the man
sought is found he OTTER has nothing
to say His part of the conversation
consists of rather hesitating "No."
Undertakers Show no Surprise.
Undertakers are sources of news
which are as available to the woman
reporter as TO the man. They give
their news in an accustomed manner
to the woman reporter. They are new
er astonished when she appears They,
and many other business men are nev-
er too busy to give news, and the re-
porter is never disconnected by their
manner. With them, answering ques-
tions seems to be part of their daily
business, and they attend to it in the
same courteous manner with which
they attend to any other business.
They know that Business thrives best
in the atmosphere of courtesy
Kipling has written a verse called
The Reporter to this effect:
Il keep six honest serving men.
(They taught me all knew
Their names are What. and Why.
and When,
And Where, and How and Who"
These serving men are the questions
of the woman reporter, but she seldom
gets the opportunity to ask all of
them here in Columbia, for the average
business man tells what he wants to
tell in a quick, concise way, and that
is all the reporter gets. Courtesy and
pleasant manners make up the atti-
tude of the average business man to-
ward the woman reporter H. A. S.
