We have failed to hear one man

dnn1m to fame is brute force, is prob
ably as unpopular a champion as the

One of our onsistencies is the
fast that we will rant in season and
porations and big institutions gener-
ally, and then be almost willing to
lay our lives at the feet of any big
AOncern which shows a tendency to
establish itself in our midst, all of
which means that when natural re-
soairces are to be developed, or a USE
mi article manufactured and mar
keted on big scale, it must be done
by something more than a small and
inexperienced concern. We are glad
to have the men with big money
build railroads into undeve1oped ter
rltory, and foster industries in our
state or our community. 1t is true
that they should not be allowed to
waste our resources, or to gain con-
troll of them at a figure less than
lair, and it should be seen to that |
they do, they should have the same |
treatment and the same support that |
any small concern gets. Theodore
Roosevelt once said: 1--WE must re-
member always that most of the men
who are responsible for the manage
ment of these. great corporations, and
who have profited thereby, have made
their fortunes not as incidental to
but to benefiting the com
as whole"

The Star-Mirror is in receipt of
copy for a two-inch advertisement for
a bly, corporation. With the advertise
newspapers, would bring to
the Golfers the munificent sum of SO
cents per day, came the suggestion
hat we might give the concern +" a
pretty good story" covering the mat
er advertised. We are overwhelmed
~ such liberality.

Inying President Harding on his trip =
ize him up as a pretty good cam
,aigner. They say that he just acts
natural and is putting across talks II
which inspire. confidence. 1t pays any p
nan just to act natural in his deal Il
1gs with the public, whether he be r,
resident OF the United States or the ii
ublisher of a country newspaper.
IS a matter of fact it was probably y
he Harding experience as country u
ewspaper publisher which brought tt

ithout a great deal of trouble, and

Governor Smith of New York has
cided according to newspaper dis
Ltches, that he will be a contender
r the democratic presidential nom
alton, on moist platform. If
NTH should secure the nomination,

any thousands of democrats who II
,uld have to choose between their
