Public Opinion

In his speech before the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the
World at the British Empire Exhi-
| bition. Mr.. E. W. Beatty, President
of the Canadian PacificRailway, told
! of the expenditure of $67 100000
by his company since 1881, in the
colonization of the dominion by ad-
vertising. Mr. Beatty said in part
Therein lies the strength of Can
ada's position. Canada has had
the confidence to advertise, and to
keep on advertising because she
knows she has something worth
| while to offer" The expenditure re-
ferred to was probably not all ap-
propriated to newspaper space, but
since the days of Benjamin Frank
| lin the newspaper has been mould
er OF public opinion. Through its
editorials and news of the happen
| ings OF the day we are able to grasp
the meaning of current events and
even see enough of the future to en-
able us to prepare to meet situa-
tions that do not yet exist.
Then, the advertising columns Of
the newspaper are source of edu-
cation to those living in rural dis
| tricts. People in out of the way
places are just as familiar with hap
penings of the times as those living
| in the great centers of population.
The wife and motherA-the stabil-
| zer OF the home, upon whom the
| burden and responsibility for the
proper training and feeding of the
'amily falls, depends largely on
newspaper advertising in forming
opinions and making decisions.
Familiarity with advertising has.

thing that rings false. Therefore,
advertising copy of a genuine arti-
Gle must be free from exaggeration
it is to receive her favorable con- !
liberation. The most widely known

M. Cox. He was first nominated for
governor by the Democrats in 1912,
and was elected. He was made the
candidate Of that party in 1914 to
succeed himself, but was defeated by
Frank B. Willis, now United States
senator.
In 1916 he was again nominated
by the Democrats, his Republican
opponent being Mr.. Willis again,
and that time was successful. Two
years later Governor Cox and Mr..
Willis were again the candidates
and Mr.. Cox was elected, that being
his fourth campaign for the office
and his third election to the office
of governor.
But even Governor Cox's case was
not unprecedented. Joseph B. For
aker was defeated the first time he
was a candidate for governor. That
was in 1883, and George Hoadly was
his successful Democratic opponent.
Two years later Mr.. Foraker was
nominated by his party again and
that time he defeated Governor
Hoadly. In 1885 Governor Foraker
vas nominated by the Republicans
and he was again successful, defeat
ing for the office Thomas e. Powell.
Two years later Governor Foraker
was again nominated for the office,
that being his fourth consecutive
nomination for governor, but that
time he was defeated, his successful
Democratic opponent being James E..
Campbell.
Foraker and Cox jointly hold a
record for having been in four con-
secutive campaigns the candidates
of their parties for governor. Mr..
Cox was elected three times and de-
feated once. Mr. Foraker was twice
elected and twice defeated.
But both of them, like Mr.. Don
ahey, were elected twice after hav-
ing been once defeated for the Of
fice.-Columbu Dispatch.

Not Unprecedented

Since the election of Tuesday,
Nov A, resulting in this state in the
election of Governor Donahey to a
second term by surprisingly large
majority, the statement has fre-
quently been made that it is with
out precedent that person after
suffering one defeat for governor
should be thereafter twice elected
to that office.
Those who reach that conclusion
have short memories. Exactly that
thing happened in the political eX-
perience of former Governor James

inf session of the convention Of the Eastern Homeopathic Medical asso- citation that recent discoveries con- corning the function of glands of the human body had paved the way for production of the perfect man, while Dr. William II. Diffenback, an X-ray specialist, also of New York. added the assertion that by properly controlling the function of glands a fountain of youth will have been discovered. Failure of the glands to function, Dr. DiTcnbach said, was the cause of old age.
 By properly regulating mans glands" declared Dr. Fiske, 'wc shall not only be able to control his mental characteristics, but also his physical appearance. IL will be within our power to say whether he shall be tall or short, fat or thin, whether his voice shall be tenor or base.
 By increasing the action of slug gish glands and slowing down the over-active glands, remarkable re- suits have been accomplished and we are on the verge of even greater achievements which will mak pos sible the production of the perfect man."
 Dr. Difenbach expressed the opin- ion that control of the ductless glands was far superior to implanta- tion of monkey glands for the re- storation of youth to the aged.

 Laws that need clarifying through court decisions usually are poor laws When a legislative body passes a law 1t should be 90 clear in its in tentiou and effect that the meaning is undoubted But hundreds if not thousands Of The laws passed by the state governments and many passed by congress are so diffuse, verbose and contradictory that authorities and officials are al a loss what they mean and then require a test case tn the courts Q interpret them. Only Iast week a Baltimore judge referred to tbe dc6a1es In congress In an attempt to ascertain the meaning Of the No,stnad law regard ing grape juices and wine; and now we have inc income tax law taking the same trip through the courts in an effort to locate its meaning re- garding publicity.

HarLng, widow Of the former president Of the United States, died today at Marion, Ohio, Her passing should receive as much attention from the press and pubic as if she had died in the White House She was a good and true helpmatc 10 a worthy husband, 8 woman of charm and personality, and when First Lady Of the Land re- mained true 10 her ideals Of service and kindness to al,
 A little more than a year or so ago she presided in that dignined block Of stone on Pennsylvania avenue. Then an unl,lnd fate dealt its blow in a hotol room in San Francisco, and she went into retire. ment in her former home in Marion. The nation left her to her grief,
 Dr. Sawyer, the Harding family physician, also preferred to return to Marion. There he shortly after ward died. And now the last story Is written over Mrs. Harding.
 The rise Of the IEardings to pre- n4er honors in the nation was over long road, AS Warren c. Hard ing struggled toward the upper rounds of the ladder his wife was an ever-ready he)p and inspiration. The public was well aware Of her high oualities. Her memory will remain greou among Americans who recog- nized in Mrs. Harding the greatness Of womauhood.

 For some yoars prior 10 1914 there was small tn3uular,urlJE village in thc north part oj Bris' ol [ and d somewhat larger manufacture ing village in the south part Of Bur nngton, A large ma iori,y Of the in habitauts of inc torm'r village were !

SOME FOLKS RECEIVED LITTLE EDUCATION.

The Herald the other day printed a symposium Of illiteracy statistics, both in this country and abroad, with view 10 contributing docu- ment Of value to the observance Of Education Week
 Educators as a rule have been aware of these figures, but the gen. eral public, which rarely hal,s it's pace in following the paths of least resistance, has ben the victim of erroneous impressions as 10 educa- ton.
 The figures indicated that, con- trary to general surmise, we do not stand at the head of literacy na- tons, considering either the native born Q rall classes of citizens
 Surely the school systems Of Nor way, Sweden, Denmark, the Nether- lands and Germany are not superior to our own, Yet these nations stand considerably above even the figures applying 10 literacy Of native Amer jeans.
 The reason must lie in greater compulslon in school att@ulance in those nations. The laws Of all states enforce school attendance, but they differ greatly in effectiveness. l. can scarcely be possible that those com ing under the head Of illiterate ma tive born Amewcans attended pub lie schools without learning 10 read or write. The only surmise is that they didn't go 10 school, or dl1n't go regularly. or stopped going before they learned these fundamentals, Or what they learned had such slight grip upon their minds that they for got all they ever learned.
 Problems that interline the entire fabric of society are involved in a consideration Of this matter, If a child does not learn to read or write it is inconscquential 10 blame 1t on the child: the blame must rest upon the parents. A child cannot help its elders to the extent Of its entire abil- ity in farm work, hoy cannot go tc work in the pit Of g coal mine as IS stIll common in the enlightened state of Pennsylvania, or tots cannot work in cotton mills or help their parents in sweatshop tasks at home without running chance of forget ting how to do elementary reading
 There are mountain districts 1T this country where the little rec schoolhouse" is not conspicuous Children in these district grow UT as their forbears-with a minimum of book larnin'." They are more et' fectualy coached in the fcuds of tho neighborhoods than in the three Rs Such q condition should not be per ,7;+4r1 +n rnn+iuue.
 There are iuitcrate persons in al the states. but the optimistic note Il that they are decreasing in compari son with their more fortunate brethren.
