OUR EDITOR NOMINEE

If Warren G. Harding, republican
nominee for president is successful in
the coming election, newspapermen as
a whole, no matter what their political
beliefs, will feel certain amount of
pride in this election, because Mr..
Harding is a real newspaper man hav-
ing served in various capacities from
printers devil to owner and publisher
IF a paper Presidents have been
lawyers, soldiers, statesmen and pro-
fessors, but never has bonifde news
paper man sat in the presidential
chair.
Mr. Harding when boy attended
country school until he was IA years
old, when he entered the Ohio Central
College, from which he was graduated.
He was obliged occasionally to quit
school and do farm work, painting or
teaching to obtain money for his ed
ucation, but he continued going back
until he had completed the course and
won his degree.
In college he became interested in
journalism, and at times he helped
make his way by working for country
newspapers In his day, the country
editor was his own compositor, make
up man, circulation man, and business
manager
When Mr.. Harding was 19 years
old his parents moved to Marian, Ohio
and there his father purchased the
Star for him to run. He swept out
his own office and print shop and car
ried his own mail sacks to the rail
way station He worked hard and
put his savings back irto the paper
until it had more than SO employees
all of whom are stockholders in the
paper.
So, regardless of the individual pol
itical beliefs of the publishers ano
| newspaper men in the country they
will all admire the presidential aspir-
ant FOR being one of them and they
an admire the spirit which had carr.
/ led him from a struggling small towr
editor to likely president of this
great nation of ours.

A little boy came galloping down
the street. He was full of life and
spirits, but in the eXuberance of his
JOY he inadvertently bumped into a
passing man.
Get out, you brat-what h HIS
h matter with you?" he snarled, with
a terrifying glare calculated to put
terror into the heart of even a much
older. person.
The boy stopped, stared in a start
led manner for a moment, murmured
his excuses, and skunk shame facedly
away, crushed in spirit and sore of
heart.
And the uncontrolled passion of a
grown man did it,
Some day the boy may forget-and
he may not. The incident may remain
with him as long as life lasts. 1t Of
ten happens that way
Little happenings in the early life
of child often exert a strong influence
in the after life of the adult.
As the seed is planted, SO does it
often grow, and mature, and die.

As THE editor :
SEES IT.

A good citizen stopped Us on the
street few days ago. He had a case
of nerves. He. was peeved because
nothing ever happens in this town."
He will recover.
But his remark started a train of
thoughts in the editorial mind, and
we are passing them on to you, as is
the custom of our profession.
1t is true that nothing ever hap
pens in this town." and that is one of
its beauties, its greatest asset.
We have no murders, no riots, no
race disturbances, no class conflicts,
no rowdyism, no disgusting scandals
none of the numerous things that
happen so often in many other places.
we have class of citizens who are
law abiding, God fearing, patriotic,
and who respect the rights of other
people.
Our citizens are energetic, thrifty,
and are producers-not destroyers.
They are workers in the hive of indus
try-not drones.
Truth abounds, because it is a
community Of clean and upright peo-
pie who have nothing to hide from the
rest of the world.
It should be matter of pride to
every citizen that nothing ever hap
pens in this town"

Harsh words to apply, even to

We often speak in a light vein of
the manner in which some women
'primp." But if we thought more seri-
ously we might speak less lightly.
''Primping" is no more nor less than
the laudable effort of women to make
themselves appear attractive in the
eyes of other people.
We men are jealous of the personal
appearance of our own particular wo-
men, We want them to be beautiful
and attractive, and.refned, and not be
hind others of their sex.
~ We glory in the admiration that
others bestow upon them, and we en-
courage them to render themselves
pleasing to the world as well as to our
selves.
Possibly we are vain of our women
But we have reason to be vain-they
are entitled to it all.
Woman is the greatest and most
beautiful handiwork of the Creator,
and that which the Creator has made
beautiful we should endeavor to keep,
beautiful It's lustre should never be
dimmed.
"Primping," is an aid to attractive
ness, and attractive femininity is adj
mired the world over.
Let. the women ''primp." We like
it, as we love them.

A grand total of 53,O28 old tin
cans were gathered in the "Tin CAM
contest Monday and Tuesday and
piled on the vacant lot opposite the
post office from which the city force
can easily remove them to their
burial place. There were about
sixteen companies participating n
this contest and the one headed by
John Lewis Williams led all others
with the official score of 1867.
The Prize Winners
The prize winners are as follows,
winners of first prize getting $40,
second prize $3.50, and third prize
$500:
WHITE BOYS-John Lewis Will
Jams, score 1867, prize $40; Pat
Sudduth, score 1861, prize $3.50;
and James Boyd Eckford, score
11,136, prize $500.
WHITE GIRLS-Elizabeth Davis,

score 364, prize $3.50; and Gossilie
Green, score 293, prize $500.
There being only one entry in the

probably decide that there was no
contest and will give Odessa Daily a
consolation prize of $5 for her AZ
cans.
