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 humble and a 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 responsibility which Kipling struck in the hour of England's triumphant jubilee. 1 "This note is sounded by Mr. Harding himself in these fine and wise words upon hi3 victory: " 'It is all so serious, the obligations are so solemn, that instead of exulting I 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. " 'I am sure the people who have voted the Republican ticket will understand my feeling that I should make no unstudied statement of policies at this time, beyond the expression made throughout the campaign.' "Republicanism has won, won with a completeness that must v answer definitely many

doubts, many aspirations, many appeals by men ;

and women who opposed it. President Wilson has received from the country a vote of no confidence. It is of no use to consider the pathos of it or the justice of it. The verdict stands. It is so conclusive that all those who pin their faith 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 sobering. Power, vast power, has been lodged in the Republican party. Everything is handed over to it, without reserve. How is it to meet this mighty obligation ? "Not 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 its last great triumph in the election of Mr. Taft. The very humility of Mr. Harding, which opponents sought to criticize in the campaign, is the best warrant that Republicanism will seek in common council the balance that must transform its 1920 vote of faith into a reindorsement in 1924. "To hold up the hands of the president there must be a 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 'Recessional' can the great party of Lincoln live up to the great spirit of Lincoln."

All this patience, kindness and unselfishness brought their reward to tho political leader, playing their part in making McKinley one of the few presidents who have borne the triads of that most trying office without losing their temper.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

THE RUST AND DUST OF TIME No matter how beautiful anything is, there are always forces working to take its lustra away. Precious metals tarnish. The magnificent painting lias to be kept clean and treated from time to time so that its colors may not fade away. The world is familiar with the phrase that woman's work is never done" for hers seems to be a daily renewing of what she did but yesterday. Tho paint on our houses, the carpets on our floors, the bindings on our books all face the same hard condition of the rust, and dust of time. In like manner are our minds subject to this same never-ending process hich brings about decay and change. The man who stands still, the brain that stops thinking, the heart that Mops warming, each in its turn must faro the inevitable result of oblivion unless touched by that daily care and effort necessary to preserve its life during its allotted time. Lep.ve anything alone to itself and it will crumble! The rust and dust of time is inexorfblo. Like the moths that eat into Hie finest, fabrics while the owners laugh and play, so do these twin destroyers work their way. We must all keep keen. Merely to trust to luck means a heavy penalty Unit we shall surc'y be called upon to pnv. Through the rust and dust of time. Ut us try to be strong and watchful!

Five Minutes with Our Presidents

MAJOR WILLIAM McKINLEY IN THE CIVIL WAR

A learned judge in the west is in

vestigating the divorce evil. The j trouble with the divorce business is j that people seem to make much of j irivial affairs. One man even asked, for a divorce because his wife hadn't spoken to him in three years. The

court decided that what the man needed was not a divorce, but an alienist. If he had been granted a divorce that woman would not have been sinp;le ten minutes and there would have been a riot at the marriage license window. SHOULD MEN EE BEAUTIFUL "Should men be beautiful.'" asks a wll-knmvn writer on subjects of that sort. He advocates the use of corset belts and says that men should have sonic regard" for the rights of others and shcuM beautify their figures when possible. Personally, although having the misfortune to be born very lovely ourself, we are not lis a rule partial to beautiful men. Wo find some beautiful men in mythology, but none iu history. The batting average of the homely men has been up around 1000 since history began. A homely man has the nerve to do things because he doesn't care what happens to him. It 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 a young lady, cut off the customer's right ear. Now to a beautiful man this would have born a catastrophe, but this particular customer didn't make any fuss. "That's all right," he said when the barber apologized. "Go right on shaving. I have another car." Nobody would have (ailed Napoleon beautiful. They called him everything else, but not that. He was extremely bowlegged, and for that reason remained seated on his horse or behind his desk. Disraeli could not have secured a position as chorus men in a mtif-ical 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.

V : j Reader Please give a short account of the Mayflower. The Mayflower was the name of the vessel in which the Pilgrim Fathers, or the first colonists in New England, sailed to this country in 1620. Tho Mayflower was a vessel of 180 tons. It set sail from Southampton, England, August 5, 1620, in company with its sister ship, the Speedwell, but the courage of the captain and the crew of the latter vessel failing, both 6hips put back to port. Finally, on September 6, the Mayflower again set sail, having on board as passengers forty-one men and their families, 102 persons in all. They succeeded in crossing the Atlantic after a stormy voyage of sixtythree days. They intended to go to the mouth of the. Hudson River, but the captain of the Mayflower took them to Cape Cod. They landed at Plymouth, Mass., at a point where Plymouth Rock, a huge granite bowlder, stands at the water's edge. A complete and authentic list of the men

passengers who landed from the Mayflower is as follows: Isaac Allerton, John Allerton, John Billington, William Bradford, William Brewster, Richard Britterage, Peter Brown, John Carver, James Chilton, Richard Clarke. Francis Cook, John Crackston, Edward Dotey, Francis Eaton, Thomas English,

Moses Fletcher, Edward Fuller, Samuel Fuller, Richard Gardiner, John Goodman, Stephen Hopkins, John Howland, Edward Leister, Edward Margeson,, Christopher Martin, William Mullins. Degony Priest, John Rigdale, Thomas Rogers, George Soule, Miles Standish, Edward Tilly. John Tilly, Thomas Tinker, John Turner, Richard Warren, William White, Thomas Williams. Edward Winslow, and Gilbert Winslow. With these men passengers and heads of families came fifteen male servants.

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. tnacks, 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 road's 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 pt 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. Maliy was to have charge of the services.

"More short paragraphs!" howls one rf our readers.' All right. Here's a short one. Poets are born, but doubtless some of them wonder why.

William McKinley challenged and disproved the old saying that the presidency 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 lStf ? 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 ripened fruit of his patience. The truth is not well enough understood that this greatest of political prizes is not to be won by unbasbuil wooing. In reality, our highest office oftenor has sought the man. Sel

dom is it captured by those who seek ! it most as for example. Clay. Web- j ster, Casts Douglas, Seward, Blaine, I Sherman, Bryan. J The presidency also has a pleasir-.i i uo i r I vonomnnnoiniT o l .-r,--! 1 i - A full !

half of the presidents have received the White House as a consolation for their misfortune in missing lesser places. McKinley was beaten for the Spea1: ership by Thomas B. Reed in 1SS9, aiui he left Washington a defeated congressman only six years before he returned as president-elect. Had he been Speaker, and, instead of Reed, incurred the title of "Czar," or had he not been turned out of congress . . had he won those smaller honors, he might never have won the highest honor. A disappointment manfully born enlists popular sympathy, and the author of the McKinley bill entered the contest for the presidential nomination in 1S98 as one who had suffered martyrdom in the cause of the protective tariff. That cause was to McKinley more than a mere partisan dogma. As the son of a small foundryman in Ohio, he was born to an "infant industry" and he was brought up on it. Not unlikely the destined apostle of protection carried the dinner-pail from which his hard-working parent ate his mid-day meal, seated on a heap of pig iron at the flaming door of a blast furnace. And when the boy's schooling was brought to an end by the "hard timca" in the iron business, doubtless he heard the men in his father's trade charge all their troubles to the low tariff of 1S57. After teaching school a term or so, McKinley was called away from books to pass four years in the Civil war, that hard university which graduated the men who were to lead the nation through four decades. Having gone into the anny as a private in the regiment of another president-to-be Rutherford B. Hayes he came out at 22 a captain with the brevet title of major. Becoming a lawyer at Canton, O., again he found himself in the midst of industries in their struggling infancy. And for fourteen years he was the spokesman in congress of that Industrial district.

1843 Jan. 29, William McKinley, born at Niles, Ohio. 1861-65 In the Civil War. 1867 Became a lawyer in Canton, Ohio. 1869 71 Prosecuting Attorney of his county. 1871 Married Ida Saxton. 1877-91 Member of Congress. 1892-96 Governor of Ohio.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

LANDLORDS T am looking for a shelter for my dachshund and my wife, and I canter, helter-skelter, through the city's noise and strife. I would rent, some humble attic two miles higher than the street.

The young major, when he came to Canton, was a clean-cut, up-standing figure, genial in nature, but with a sober dignity. His readiness of speech, when on his feet, came from his practice of the art in debating societies of his school days. His habits also had been properly formed in his boyhood, when ho joined the Methodist church at 10, and grew up a youth who was as careful to keep his tongue as his collar clean. All doors m the little town naturally swung open with a welcome to "such a nice young man," and a major to boot. Although he was yet poor, when Ida Saxton, the banker's daughter, who had been to school in New York city, and who had just come back from Europe, smiled "yes" to him. while they were "taking a buggy ride," the banker smiled too. and made them a wedding gift of one of the best houses in Canton. It was from the front porch of this honeymoon dwelling that McKinley made his campaign for tho presidency in 1S96. McKinley's is one of the best an-.l one of the most pathetic love stories in the domestic records of the presidency. With the birth of her second child, the wife was left an invalid. The death of both her children within five years of her wedding day, utterly overwhelmed her nervous organization and her shatered health remained henceforth the constant object of her husband's tender care. Although he never could know from minute to minute when she would pass into a swoon, he made her his compainon on his travels. Once when he hurried home from congress, and the prysicians had given up hope cf saving her, his own ministrations and his prayers through a long night at her bedside, recalled her to life. The people of Columbus are eyewitnesses that while he was governor after his defeat for congress hi never entered the state capitol of a morning without turning to lift his hat in a smiling farewell to Mrs. McKinley, at her hotel window across tho street. By tho same testimony, ho sprang from his chair on the stroke of three every afternoon, no matter how weighty the business in hand, nor how many might be in conference wih him, and stepped to a window of the executive chamber, where he waved his handkerchief in greeting tc the watching wife. The same sentimental devotion continued in the "White House, where the president was always oiick to respond

What a Richmond Grocer said about

a Richmond

3ruggist

I WAS talking about Colgate talcum powder to Druggist Jim, who runs the store across the street. Colgate is an enormous advertiser. You see their advertising everywhere. Yet one of their salesmen was telling me the other day that Colgate's total advertising cost is only 2r . At the same time you can buy a can of Colgate's talcum powder for 18c, while practically every other brand of the same quality and quantity costs 25c and 30c. I am not particularly boosting Colgate talcum powder. I am simply using it as an example to show that it pays to buy products that the manufacturer advertises. Advertising enables the manufacturer to turn out his products in enormous quantities. At the same time it pays

the retailer to handle advertised "goods because he sells them so much more quickly. For instance, while Druggist Jim is selling a dozen cans of Colgate's and making 3c a can gross profit, he would be selling only three cans of some unknown, unadvertised product on which his sales would be 36c, while his total profit on the unknown, unadvertised product would only be 12c. It doubtless would take him longer in actual selling time to induce three customers to take the unknown, unadvertised product than it would to merely hand out 12 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 advertised goods.
