There was lots of fight in the delegates at the recent national re publican convention but Jitflc ora tory that could be considered as anywhere approaching that heard at several previous conventions. The lack of oratory however was doubtless due to the fact that there jvas no Ingersoll, Elaine or Conk Jin among the delegates. At such a time it is well to re call the efforts of previous orators on similar occasions. In 1876 Robert Q, jTngersoll in placing Blaine in nomination, referring to his work in congress during the re construction days said: "Like an armed warrior, like a plumed knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the American Congress and threw hie shining lances full and fair against the brazen foreheads of every defamer of his country and maligner of his Jionor. For the republican party to desert such a gallant man now is worse than if an army should desert their general upon the field of battle," Roscoe Conklin's first sentence placing Grant in nomination for a third term in the convention of ?88o was a striking one. He said: "When asked whence conies our candidate, we say, from Appo mattox." There was a piece of cami^ign doggerel at the time which ran something like this: "Do you ask what state he hails from Our sole reply shall be jHe hails fronj Appomattox And its famous apple tree." National conventions have af forded opportunities for a number pi great speeches in the past and he coining of many striking phras es. It was at a national conven tion that the late General Bragg said of Cleveland: "We love liipi for the enemies he has made." This vear seemed to present an op portunity but nothing unusual from an oratorical standpoint was said. The Tribune's quill-driver does iot agree \yith us 01) our sugges tion that in the event of the county primary being abolished and the terms of county officials extended to four years that it might then be advisable to make a person inelig ible for a 'second term. He thinks fi good official should be retained jndefinately. Special emphasis however is placed upon the ground that it keeps a poor county offic ial's nose to the grindstone all the ^ear by reason of the jn-roads made upon his salary by circulat ors of subscription papers, sellers of dance tickets, pop corn venders, £tc. In fact this part of the argu ment would have looked good tin ker the caption, "How it Hurts JVIe to Give." When the ambassadors from the Roman senate took to Cincinnatus Jiis appointment as dictator, they found the grand old patrician fol lowing the plow on his Ijttle farm iear the Tiber, but alas, when the messengers look the news to Taft of his renomination at Chicago they found him playing golf with Charles and Robert. It is true we may shiver around more or less during about ten jnonths of tjie year but we of the Jean variety have certainly got the laugh on you fat ones along about July and August.

The only chance the republican party has of breaking the solid $outh is with the high cost of liv ing- -^Atlanta Journal. "Laugh and the World Lauflhs With Yoiu" The poet was right—there is nothing so catching as joyous laughter. Next to a kiss a laugh is the most popular thing in the world. The supply of kisses is limited, being largely controlled by a fair but capricious trust. The supply of laughs, however, is practically unlimited so long as you don't get too grouchy to look for them. One reason for the remarkable success of the Chicago Record Herald is its daily recog nition of the value of kindly, whole some fun. The "Alternating Cur rents" column of S, E. Kiser, the humorist and poet, is one of the brightest things in American jour nalism. And there is always a smile or a good laugh in Ralph Wilder's cartoons, bringing a cheery greeting as you pick up the paper each day. But it is in the Sunday Record Herald that one finds the most chuckles. The colored comic sec tion is full of laughter for young and old, and these amusing iilus tratkms are free from the vulgarity and mischievous suggestions that have barred so many comic sections from refined homes. Then there is always a lot of high-class humor in the Sunday Magazine of the Re cord-IIcraid, led by Sewell Ford's inimitable Shorty McCabe stories. The delectable Shorty and his red headed rival, Torchy, have become so popular that one or the other now appears in a funny yarn al most every Sunday. The Record Herald has the right idea. Clean humor doubles the welcome of a good newspaper. U. S. Land Office Filings. Filings at the U. S. land office for wpek ending June 26: Frederick Wientjes, Mound City S. D., SE 1-4, 26-26-78.

The time has passed when automobiles can be sold to you on their appearances or claims. This is a day when you and every purchaser must be shown what the car for which you pay your money will actually perform what it will do. Beware of an automobile salesman who attempts to beguile you with a pleasing story. Tell him to show the goods and prove to you that his cars are wcrth the money. Find out whether his car is a real car or only an assembled automobile built to sell. You have a right to your money's worth, but it is up to you •to see that you get it. Deeper than all appearances, there ^re a few expert tests which Sught to be applied to every car. Who makes the car? Is it an as—mbled car or made frcm to bottom by one manufacturer? What kind of a guarantee is on it? Does the manufacturer respect his own product with a real guarantee, or does he want you to take the chance? What do parts cost you and how conveniently can you get them How many cars of this make are in service and how many are giving satisfaction? Questions like these go deep into the heart of the case, and if you put them rigorously upon any car you will find out with a certainty whether or not that car is worth its price. We are selling Studebaker E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" cars because we know that, dollar for dollar, their equal is not sold in the market today. The records of many thousands of •'pars in all kinds of service have convinced us absolutely. E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" cars are built to run, and because they run they sell. If we cannot prove to you under the most searching test that Studebaker cars are absolutely the best automobile values in the market, we do not want your business but we can prove it, and your neighbors who drive these cars will tell you the same thing. Be an expert when it ccmes to buying a car. You can, by getting from us some further ideas on real tests of an automobile. Clip the attached coupon and send it to us now because we have something new to tell you which you ought to know, whatever car you have in mind.
