Let's Be Fair
During the past few weeks we have
several times heard our home mer
chants criticized for the prices the)
charge for their goods.
The home merchant does not
charge a higher price a much higher
one than he did before the war. He
is compelled to do so or go out of
business.
He is paying enormously high
prices for all goods in the wholesale
markets.
He Is paying Increased freight rates
and cartage.
His help costs him more money
and his overhead expenses are great
er.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to
pay a heavy increase in the cost of
conducting his business.
Added to this, he is under an ad
ditional pressure in paying the high
cost of supporting his family and him
self.
All of this must come out of the
business, and this can only be done
by charging a reasonable percentage
of profit over the wholesale cost of
his goods.
The home merchant can not afford
to profiteer. Were he to do so he
would soon be trapped and would
thereafter be a dead one in this com
munity. Prices are high abnormally high
but we believe the home merchants
are as reasonable In their charges as
can be expected under existing con
ditions. Let's be fair and consider
both sides before we criticize.
Every voter in Morrow -county
should register for the coming elec
tion, if not already registered. No
more important election has occurred
in many years. The registration
books will be open only a few days
more. During the few days remain
ing, keep this matter in mind and do
not fail to place your name on the
list. Then study the questions the
peope must settle at the election, and
on election day go to the polls and
vote. If you do less, you are not do
ing your full duty as a citizen. We
should demonstrate to the world that
our form of government is a success,
by taking an active part in shaping
our governmental affairs.

A Mighty Difference !
There is a mighty difference In the
measure of culpability of a cheap,
sharp little ward politician attempt
ing to mislead the public by distor-i
tion and misrepresentation and a like
distortion and misrepresentation by a
Presidential candidate.
No one places any confidence in the
professional ward politician. He may
do or say anything to carry a point
and little importance attaches to it.
The reason Is that men do not look In
his direction for character, and start
ling utterances without character do
not make .a ripple In the community.
But the Presidential candidate, thi
actual nominee of a great party,
stands out with us as a great figure,
a man ot rock-ribbed character, a
man ot superb dignity, to whom lit
tle acts, small petty acts, the acts ot
the sharp little ward politician in
matters political, would be abhorrent
and impossible.
Because ot this ideal of the man
selected by his party for the first
office In the land, because of this ideal
which mirrors the composite of our
Presidents from Washington to Wil
son, it is shocking to see Mr. Cox de
scend to demagogic levels in his fight
for election.
In what he has said of Republican
campaign funds the brazen, blatan,
way he has said it has written him
down as a person wholly unfit to be
President of these luited Slates; has
written him down as a man ready
tn delude and mislead that he may
gain advantage over his opponent in
the Presidential race; has written
him down as indifferent to facts auJ
to the verities of the situation; has
written him down as a sharp little
man without bigness of soul, bigness
of vision or appreciation of the great
role he Is playing as the nominee of a
great political party for President of
the I'nited States.
The tacts as disclosed before the
Kenyon campaign committee annihi
late the Cox charges of the Republi
can corruption fund; the facts show
that the money so far received by the
Republican campaign committee is
only a trifle over a million dollars;
and getting it in small contributions,
as Mr. Hayes hopes to do, is not big
with promise for even the necessary
amount to run a national political
campaign.
No one knows better the falsity of
the "slush fund" charges he has been
making than Governor Cox himself;
no one knows better than he that the
quota figures of the drive artist mean
little in truth; no one knows better
than he, a shrewd business man, that
it Isn't withia the bounds of possi
billty to raise fifteen millons of dol
lars in small contributions for cam
paign purposes; no one knows better
than he that the attitude of the whole
country in the matter of campaign
outriliutions for both parties has al-iou a road and there is promise of a time. At th 1915 convention of the whore they will spend a few weeks
ways bevu "Let New York Pay," and
knowing this his slush fuud accusa
tions were downright dishonest.
