vertising, but IT also proves that they
are not familiar with the first prin-
ciples OF advertising, or else they
wouldn't continue to waste the money
that might proftably be used to tell the
public Of their store values, thru the
| cheapest and most efficient channel OF
advertising In the world--the news
paper. Every town the size OF Winter
set wastes enough money each year on
these so-called advertising stunts to
very materially enlarge the trade vol
ume OF the nation If rightly expended.
WHY NOT A WRIGHT COUNTY
MAN?
IClarion Clipper,l
Down in Webster City it Is reported
that Senator ID. c. Chase will not run
again owing to the fact that he has
had two terms Dame Rumor has 1t
that RUDE McF'erren. representative
from Hamilton county; Eugene Schaf-
ter, Of Eagle Grove, and III. w. ENEMY,
Of Eldora, are possible candidates to
succeed Chase. The senatorial district
is composed of Hamilton, Hardin and
Wright counties.
For years everyone has known that
Chase has been ambitious to go to
congress, and whether he will have
courage to tackle Frank Woods is the
question. 1t Is certain that the pres
ent congressman made woeful mis-
calculation concerning the sentiment
back home when he went wrong on the
war issue. Chase, being a shrewd poll
.tician, will make the most of the mis-
to1. ..
Trust Chase for that.
But TO get back to Wright county
and the state senatorship, it looks like
each county will have a c iidate for
the senate. The name o. .neny will
not strike terror here, but. neverthe-
less, there is no need to go to sleep at
the switch, and a little careful plan
ming might be in order In this county.
WHY DANIELS. M'ADOO, EFT AL?
Jefferson Bee.]
At this time when President Wilson
is asking OF congress unlimited men,
resources and authority to make our
armies most efficient. and congress and
the people are responding with unex-
ampled patriotism in furnishing our
commander-in-c chief with all that he
wants. why does he retain as his cab
met advisers and chief executive Off
GERS such weak individuals as Daniels,
McAdoo and others who might be
named?
The Bee has recognized no political
distinctions in our national affairs so
far az the conduct of the war is con-
cerned, We don't care whether Il man
IS republican or a democrat. so long
as he Is the most efficient man for his
post. But we do object to muddlers
and incompetents, with which the cab
met is Low VIGOROUSLY overloaded.
Daniels Is nice mana country edi-
his ability and training in
naval affairs is MI. He is not only a
round peg In IA square hole--he Is with
out the first symptom of fitness for the
job he holds. He COM
me- nds no respect from those who are
trained in naval affairs, and he In
spires no confidence in them. The same
is true OF other cabinet members tho
In lesser degree.
In this crisis the national government

merit and capabiItiy. 1t ought to be

run its affairs. President Wilson Is
great head to the concern. There are
none better. But he can not do it all.
The head OF great business enterprise
surrounds himself with the ablest as
slstants that can be had, A mans te-
nure OF position depends upon his abil-
!ty to deliver the goods. and upon no
other consideration. This is the rule OF
efficiency.
Politics ought to be forgotten now
and the incompetents should make way
for men OF real parts in our govern
tnent affairs.
