OUR NEIGHBOR-ANB THE MISSION TO
ST JAMES

The Telegraph of Saturday, publishes the fol-
lowing extract of letter from Mr.. Richie, by
way CT sustaining its allegation of a desire his
part, to represent his Country at London.
Under date of April l1th, 1929, Mr.. Richie says,
II seize the first leisure moment to acknowledge
your acceptable favor and speaking of the appoint
ment of editors to office, proceeds:
'''Fake from the people the liberty Of the press,
and the freedom of elections, and you place them
much at the feet of the President than | ever
wish to see them in this country. But how can we
directly accomplish this object than by show
ering offices upon members of Congress and upon
the conductors Of our journalist True, would not
prohibit the President from selecting the first Ia
Tents in the nation for his very highest Offices say
his Secretaries, or FOREIGN MINISTER'S of
the highest grade, or Judges of the Supreme Court;
but with these three exceptions, ozone othersssSike
me at this tme) could wish him to keep his
hands off from the representatives and the cent?
ncls of the people. would tGbOo both ofthem with
these limitations. If President coutd find n
franklin, TO ctDthe him 1ciM the functions nj n
PieRiP0teatiary, 1 would permit hun to take him
from the Press, but not to place him in suhordi-
nate and sectional Office, which he might find a
thousand qualified TO fill. Bat you prescribe the
editors thcn-aud so 1 would, quod hoc; but pro-
scribe them no more than l would member of
Congress"
With due Difference TO the Telegraph, we think his
inference of MIR. RS diplomatic ambition is rathcr
siolent. The sentiments of his letter are correct
tile discrimination is just-and if the Editor of
the Enquirer had possessed the independence
to address Jackson with such language, we should
have thought more respectfully of his frrnness.
We do not perceive from this letter, any prepon.
derating desire for Misson-it is barely possible
hat when he speaks of Franklin, the Editor OF
the Enquirer may have had Tho. Richie in his
minds eye, the Franklin Of tho Press of
this our timo-but the sentiments of the letter
are credablc to the understanding and the patriot

TO OUR ADVERTISING PATRONS

We have determined to reduce the price of An
nnai Advertising from ffty to forty dollars, paper
included. We are induced to do this in conse
qnence of the frequent complaints of the cxorbi
fancy of the charge heretofore. We had no hand
in establishing the rates; took them as we found
them, and so long as the present inadequate price
of subscription for the Daily Paper exists, the
charge for advertising must be proportionateIy
high, to afford any remuneration to the publisher
We are fully aware. that in reducing the price of
advertising at present, we are cutting off all hope
OF Proiit' TIL change takes place in the price of
subscription There is not we believes daily pa
per of the size OF the Wing, printed in the U.
States, under eight dollars year, except in this
city; and when state the fact, that the paper
alone on which we print, costs more than one half
of the subscription price, it at once be seem
that it cannot be published for the present price
with any profit.
