Tecountry, is no in the throes of a:peidn tial camipaigil, a full year in adv ance of the time wb1len candidates are usually nominated. This e arly activity wias insti gated largely by. the "grass roots" conference,,at Springfield injunae,, Which marked, or gave evidence of, a'.rebirth of the republican party and the discavery that it is not, as dead as the obituary notices would inidicate., IEverything nowv points to an aggressive and pos- sibly acrimonious campaig 1n, in 1936, with. the issue already handed to his opponents by, theý present President-the New Deal vs. thé Con.- stitution, the Supreme court and state's rlglttf. The matter of candidates will be uppermost in the minds of voters from now on. Not so much as ta whom they shall be as what they. shall be. It is no certainty that Mr. Roosevelt will be the naminee-of the deniocratic party, but it is highly probable. It therefore behooves the republicans ta exercise great care in the seîec- tion of their candidate, and to give much thoughtý to the type of man best suited to bring the gov- ernment back ta a sound and sensible basis of * operatioli by whch recovery tnay be had, not s0 tnuch from the depression as from the morass o debt and social experiment int whicb it bas beeti plunged. Upon that selection success at the poils may hinge. There bas been much vihification of industrial * corporations, their traducers losing sight of the fact thiat America is itself the largest and most important corporation within its borders, and the further fact that only, business men can success-:* fully motivate and direct any industrial or comm- mercial undertaking. 1The need of the hour is for a real business man to steer the ship of state. There bas been enough of rhetorical marvels, of dreamy tbearists, of law ment upon residential neighborhoocis is flot threatened, and attempt, through agreements, to secure such concessions as 'will render the con- templated improvements as unobjectionable as possible. This procedure wou1d doubtless- require a, give-and-take policy; but it bas the. possibility 1of resulting in .miore satisfactory settlemhents of controversies than are' usually o,çbtainable after long .lawsuits. Zoning laws are essential to the proper develop- ment of modern towns, but they should be flexible enougb to avoid imýposing hardships.upon propertv owners. STOP..SNIPERS In its efforts to maintain and increase property .values, the ChicagoReal Estate board is engaged in a campaign to put an end té tbe indiscriminate use of. signs and, éther advertising matter on building walls, 'trees,. lamp posts, sidewalks and other places. It is. conteided. that the unsigbtly appearance occasioned by the, practice inëvitably affects a4iversely the real estate market, in the neighborhood wbere it is permitted, A recent communication from t-he board states, in part : "Community civie leaders, merchants and pro- perty owners daily ame becoming more aware. o the thousands upon thousands cf dollars worth of neighborhood property that le being destroyed an- nuaily by the illegai practIce of' poster sniping.

Since these Interests flnd advertising an expedient means of proxpoting their' wares and enterprises, let themn use the advertising columns cf tMa cer- munity newspapers. or the legltimate outdoor bill- boards for this purpose. This le the dlgnified man- ner of publlcizing their objectives. Certainly the columns of the cornmunity nuwspapers w1117 prove m-ore productive and prebably more economical- than the unsightiy and ra.gged signe hanglng fror a tree, a post, a building: or a fence. Legitimate outdoor .advertislng agencies empioy only bill- boards a.nd properties speciftcally l'e-ased for thie purpose. So, . toc, conimtmlty newspapers devote, columns for this type of advertIsing.
