The Power of Paint

TXTHEN the small boy writes composition on paint
Wv he usually starts out thus: "Pant is what you
put the wall to it up. There great many
kinds of paint--white paint and red paint and blue
paint and green paint, and great many other kinds too
numerous to mention"
Did you ever write like that? Maybe it was not
about paint at ALL but something else which treated
in just that style We plead guilty. and the chances are
you guilty too.
Well really, there kinds of paint than the
small boy dreamed Of and it is used to cover up
more things than he had idea about. But the
one thing going to endorse in this article is the
power of paint to up unsghty walls and beautify
them We can not endorse it face covering, no
matter how skfuly applied. And it certainly does not
preserve face like it does fence.
Spring is coming "Cean up and paint up should be

renovator in the world for woodwork. Washington S

And the paint is here, and you would have
to rake columns with tine-tooth comb to find the

phases of the operation of the local school system.

we had any association declined to continue cry

Expediency Not Principle

@ ONE years just before the Republicans ios con-
troll of Congress- had the pleasure of an interview
with Hon. W. NJ Brantley then member of Congress
from the eleventh district about certain action OF the
Congress on important matter
Canddy we astonished at the position taken by
the Republicans, and expressed our surprise TO Mr..
Braney, adding, "Why they violate one OF the cardinal
principles of the Republican party when they did this
thing"
principles of the Republican party" repeated Mr..
Brantey "There is no such thing. The Republican
party is and always has been of expediency, but
never of principle"
How often since we have watched the great truth
demonstrated The present attitude of the Republicans
against the league of nations is but expedient policy
adopted by them because Mr.. Wilson endorsed it.
Fortunately however some Republicans are bigger and
broader than their party and Mr. Taft seems to be one
of these AS he has already lost his surplus weight we
can say of him. "May his shadow never grow less

Headlines and Real News

W~HERE be doubt that headlines inter
i esting feature of any paper and when they are
artsticaly gotten up and any degree accurate
lining the in the columns beneath they have much
value.
Often however, the headlines misleading, and are
not at all justified by the real facts contained in the art
Gle below them.
So often pick up paper of certain type and find
box-car letters announcing something very sensational
and when go read the piece, find that have
been faxed
The only real harm done by this practice arises from
fhe fact that good many people get their news from
headlines only, and never read any further. AS

it, and then thought of another. That
