That earthquake Wednesday morning was simply sim-ply the jok caused by California going for Wilson. It is said Democratic dogs now have to wear mu..les several sizes larger. Many a fellow will have to cut down the cost of high living to square his election bets. Let's keep hammering' away at the community club idea, till we land it. The community that fails to espouse its school interests is a dead one. The home and school organization deserves the united support and patronage of the public in the Lyceum course made possible by that body. The man who stops his subscription to his home paper because of political differences should .take at least a night-school course in Americanism. But the aforesaid home paper jogs right along. o THE STATE RESULT. While the News would have considered Bamberger's Bam-berger's chances for the governorship exhorbitant to the visit of the man who "knows how it all happened hap-pened and it is "Hail Simon." This is Utah, Bamberger Bam-berger is governor, proceed with the game. o : COMMISSIONERS ON JOB. Elsewhere in this edition will be found an ordinance ordin-ance providing for the immediate muzzling all dogs in comunities not covered by town-ordinances. The action of the comissioners in thus promptly dealin with the situation is worthy of the thanks and comendation of Beaver County residents. u HOME TOWN LOYALTY It is to be regretted that the spirit of loyalty to the home town did not, in the recent election, outweigh out-weigh partisanship sufficiently to elect home-town candidates, in the home-town precinct. The democrats demo-crats voted 163 straight partisan ballots, while the Republicans cast only 63 partisan tickets. o THE NEWS AND THE RETURNS The News takes pardonable pride ' in the fact that it acted as practically the sole news purveyor for Beaver county, on election night, supplying Mil-ford Mil-ford with special telegraphic service, announced at the Utah Theatre, at the hotels and by bulletins, and giving the county at large, including the county seat, constant returns through its special telephone service. This innovation took time, energy and money, but nothing is too good for News patrons, and we believe our efforts are appreciated. o ADVERTISING A FINE ART. Those who read Nels Darling's little talk on advertising ad-vertising in this week's News will be struck with the truth of the statements therein made. In one of his lectures, Mr. Darling charges the merchant with "using one kind of language in the newspaper and another kind to the customer." He means that the average merchant talks naturally to the person in the store and stiltedly or in stero-typed stero-typed way through the news columns. The secret of successful advertising, then, is to be natural, conversational, not dealing in platitudes or hackneyed phrases. Be sure you know what you have to sell the public, then tell them about it in simple language, giving prices and all necessary details. de-tails. Another suggestion of Mr. Darling's is timely. Have your copy filed with the printer in plenty of time for him to give you an artistic, mechanical job. Many a good readable advertisment is spoiled by poor mechanical get-up. Give the printer a chance to do himself and yourself full justice. o PROMISE THEM ANYTHING Germany has reconstituted Poland as a Free and independent nation while the best the Czar could offer was a King, who was to be under the suzerainty suzer-ainty of the Russian ruler. This is one of the very few occasions that Germans Ger-mans can point with pride to their love and liberty and respect for the rights of small nations. But what led the Germans to make this great diplomatic move at this particular time? Are'they expecting the Russian forces to be back there in the near future or are they endeavoring to convince Belgium she made a big mistake by refusing the right to Germany to pass over her land unmolested. And at just about the time when conditions look blue for Rumania. A call was made for Poland to furnish an army for Teutonic purposes at the same time that the Teutonic Teu-tonic Gcverment proclaimed an Independent Poland. Evidently the limit of German promises has not been reached but it is hoped that all nations will soon realize how dooiIv she keeps them. o THE LATE ELECTION. The presidential election, just in its last stages, has been beneficial to the country in many ways. In the first place, the closeness of the result shows that the people have been thinking carefully and conscientiously. When you get a nation to using us-ing its brains on its ballots, it speaks well for that nation. Regardless of political faith, the voters should exercise their franchise. The election shows that the people have been thinking and voting. The only regret of the Republicans is that, apparently not quite enough of the voters thought as they did. Another result of the election is that there has been brought out, during the campaign, such a full discussion and analysis of both Democratic and Republican Re-publican policies, as to educate the voters as they have never before been educated along political lines. A significant fact in the result is that the West has decided the contest. Even though that decision was for Democratic success, it puts the West in the list, to be considered and not overlooked by the East. Taking it all in all, while the apparent result has been woefully disappointing to Republicans, the campaign has been beneficial to the country. o MUZZLE OR KILL THEM. While the recent order of the local health board, concerning the muzzling of dogs has been pretty generally complied with, there are a few owners who evidently consider rabies as an insignificant ailment ail-ment and the health board's order as a joke. Rabies may be contracted from even a playful bite of a dog, before the dog shows any signs of the disease. A person or an animal may be bitten by a rabid animal and no symptoms of rabies develop for weeks, months, even years. That is what makes it so danerous and so hard to cope with: A dog may be bitten by a rabid coyote, and show no signs of rabies for some time. In the meantime you may playfully put your hand in his mouth and have the disease transmitted to you through some break in your skin. It is safest to take no chances, whatever. The cases of rabies developing in 'Beaver Bottoms, Bot-toms, makes it imperative that all dogs from that section be muzzled at once. A resident of the Bottoms Bot-toms comes to town and his dog follows him. He may have been bitten by a rabid coyote or by another dog with the disease and he may bite a Milford dog or a Milford person. It is not enough to keep the dog tied up, he should be muzzled as a protection to other animals and to people among whom he runs. What is gained by' Milford muzzling her dogs when animals from a locality where rabies is known to exist may come to Milford or other localities and endanger the lives of people and animals? n WE ARE GOOD LOSERS. Apparently, at this writing, President Wilson has been re-elected. That this result would be a distinct dis-tinct disappointment to a Republican newspaper, goes without saying. The News has consistently and vigorously urged the election of Mr. Hughes, believing, as it still does, that Republican principles are the safest for the country, but now that a majority of the people of the country have seemingly decided in favor of Mr. Wilson, Wil-son, the News takes its editorial hat off to the magistrate-elect and accords him all the credit due the victor in one of the closest races for the Presidency the country has ever seen, and all the honor' due the Chief Executive of the best country on earth. The fight has been a bitter one, but the people's voice is law. It is the part of all loyal Americans to now bury the hatchet for the comon good of our country. We believe that the contest has shown the Democratic party some of its mistakes and that the coming four vears will see sorhp 0f these mistaken mis-taken policies correcitd. It is not American, neither neith-er is it "square" to hamper the President in any way during the coming four years, by constant and unreasonable un-reasonable criticism. Give him all the chance he needs to develop and execute his policies for the new7 term, at the end of which period there will be time enouh to gnow what those policies are to be and also thein merit or demerit. Let all Republicans be "good losers." remembering that the Chief Executive, Execu-tive, be he Demochatic or Republican is the President Presi-dent of the whole country after all. !
