The Spirit of Victory

The Chicago Post, commenting on the victory
won at the polls Tuesday, writes as follows:
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, an hum
BILE and contrite heart
''The vote by which Warren G. Harding has
been elected president of the United States is of
such tremendous proportions that it brings into
the joy of victory the note of restraining respon-
sibility which Kipling struck in the hour of Eng
lands triumphant jubilee.
! "This note is sounded by Mr.. Harding himself
in these fine and wise words upon his victory:
"'It is all so serious, the obligations are so
solemn that instead of exultng am more given
to prayer to God to make me capable of playing
my part, and that all these calls to responsibility
may meet the aspirations and expectations OF
America and the world.
81 am sure the people who have voted the
Republican ticket will understand my feeling that
| should make no unstudied statement of policies
at this time, beyond the expression made
throughout the campaign
"Republicansm has won, won with com"
pleteness that must answer definitely many

doubts, many aspirations, many appeals by men
and women who opposed it. President Wilson has
received from the country vote of conf
dence It is of no use to consider the pathos of
it or the justice of it. The verdict stands. 1t is
to the democratic theory of government cannot
question it. The people had a set task to do and
they did it-without malice, we believe, even
with regret that the doing of it struck at the sick
man at the White House. But it had to be done
and was done with the clean cut that is the real
est mercy.
'"The completeness of the victory is SOLDERING.
Power, vast power, has been lodged in the Re-
publican party. Everything is handed over to it,
without reserve How is it to meet this mighty
obligation?
mot with arrogance, not with contempt OF
the minority, not with disregard to justice and
right. For that way lies to disaster that came
to the party when it won it's last great triumph
in the election of Mr.. Taft. The very humility
of Mr.. Harding, which opponents sought to crlti-
cize in the campaign, is the best warrant that
Republicanism will seek in common council the
balance that must transform its 1870 vote OF
faith into a reimbursement in 1924.
'"To hold up the hands of the president there
must be cabinet made up of men of the first
rank The congress, which fortunately is safely
Republican, must work with him. Through all
and above all, there must be no riding of the
vote of power to extremes that inevitably bring
their own punishment. Only in the spirit of
Kipling's 'RecessonaP can the great party OF
Lincoln live up to the great spirit of Lincoln"

The young major, when he came to
Canton, was a Clcan-cut, outstanding
figure. genial in nature, but with {.
sober dignity. His readiness Of speech.
when on his feet, came from his prac-

his school days. His habits also had
been properly formed in his boyhooG,
when he joined the Methodist church
at 10, and grew up a youth who was
as careful to keep his tongue as his

Good Evening
BY Roy x. Moulton

A learned Judge in the west is in
vestigating the divorce evil. The
trouble with the divorce business is
that people seem to make much or
trivial affairs. One man even asked
for divorce because his wife hadn't
spoken to him in three years. The
court decided that what the man
needed was not divorce, but an
alienist If he had been granted a
divorce that woman would not have
been single ten minutes and there
would have been a riot at the mar
rage license window.
SHOULD MEN BE BEAUTIFUL
should men be beautifully" asks
wcll-knOwn writer on subjects of that
sort. He advocates the use of corset
belts and says that men should have
some regard for the rights of others
and should beautify their figures
when possible.
Personally. although having the mis-
fortune TO be born very lovely ourself,
we are not as a rule partial to beautl-
full men.
We find some beautiful men in
mythology. but none in history.
The batting average Of the homely
men has been up around 1000 since
history began. \ homely man has the
nerve to do things because he doesn't
care what happens to him. 1t doesn't
make much difference.
A man was getting shaved one day
and the barber. looking out Of the
window to note the passing Of young
lady, cut off the customers right ear.
Now to a beautiful man this would
have been a catastrophe, but this par
ticular customer didn't make any fuss.
That's all right" he said when the
barber apolOgized. Go right on shaw
ing. | have another ear"
Nobody would have called Napoleon
beautiful. They called him everything
else, but not that. He was extremely
bowlegged, and for that reason re-
NAMED seated on his horse or behind
his desk. Disraeli could not have Sc
cured a position as chorus men in a
musical comedy if his father owned
half the show.
Homely men deliver the goods.
Beautiful men do not. and, come to
think of it, we don't remember of ever
having seen one of the latter.
More short paragraphs" howls one
Of our readers: All right. Here's a
short one.
Poets are born. but doubtless some
of them wonder why.

Memories of Old DAYS
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

The board of county commissioners
ordered the opening of South n
streets across the C. & o. tracks, as it
was thought that it would be Of vast
benefit to the National Automatic Tool
works. The railroad company appealed
the action to the decision of the court.
The roads action it was understood,
was not based against the factory, but
against the principle of having another
crossing, thus adding to the liability
of accidents and increasing the cost
OF maintainence of the road.
Announcement was made Of the
opening meeting of the big evangelical
campaign, which was to be held in this
city during November. The meetings
were to be held in the East Main
street Friends church. The Rev. Manly
was to have charge of the services.

What a Richmond
Grocer said about
a Richmond
Druggist
"

the retailer to handle adver-
tised goods because he sells
them so much more quickly.
For instance, while Druggist
Jim is selling dozen cans of
Colgate's and making SC a can
gross profit, he would be selling
only three cans of some un-
known, unadvertised product
on which his sales would be 36c,
while his total profit on the un-
known, unadvertised product
would only be 12c. 1t doubtless
would take him longer in actual
selling time to induce three GUS
toners to take the unknown,
unadvertised product than it
would to merely hand out II
cans of Colgate's to customers
who know what they want, and
ring up the money in the cash
register.
If you want to make your cash
register jingle, handle adver-
tised goods.

The paint on our houses, the carpets

In like manner are our minds sub

which brings about decay and change.

William Mckinley challenged and
disproved the old saying that the pres
idency casts its shadow on no man
but once and that if the chance be
missed then it will never come again.
Twice the Republican nomination
seemed to be within Mckinley's reach
in the national conventions of 1898
and 1892. Each time he put it away
content to wait his proper turn. when
he did not have to shake the tree to
bring down the ipened fruit of his
patience.
