The Danyille Times thinks that II
"every body who can, would pay up, there
would be very little complaint of hard
times" This is tue statement, As
sosn as times begin to get little hard
the "moned men" Chose who are able to
paw are the first to suspend payment,
thus precitating a "stringency in the
money market" A different course on
their part would avert such a result.

Good, cleaC newspapers are the best
medium for mercantile advertising. The
newspaper stays in tie house seven day;
in the week and IS picked up and looked
at scores of times by every member and
visitor of the household, and announce
meuts of merchants are closely read by
intending purchasers. Advertisements il
showbllls, programs and the various Other
catch-penny schemes may be read by Ar
individual here and there, but create nc
impression On the mind of the reader, and
money spent for that class of advertising
is practically wasted. A yearly contract
in a local paper, with the name and bnsi-
ness OF the advertiser constantly in it'
place, and the matter Of advertisement
telling a true story and frequently
changed is what attracts customers and
is worth vastly moro TO the merchant
than all other schemes combined.
Washington Ereaing Nacs If The
Southern new spapers were as vicious and
sensational as some of the Northern
journals are, they could fad in the recent
lynchings in Minnesota, Kansas and
Indiana the best kind of material fol
dissertations upon the general depravlty
and lawlessness Of the North. The lynch
ings referred to differed IN no particular
fIom those which occur now and then in
the South and elsew here. The victims
were strung up by excited mOOs, and the
action was condemned, in each case, by
"the better element" The existence Of
that better element is universally coz
coded, but it wouldn't be in the case Of
a Southern lynching. In that event The
furious Northern orators who make
profession of flaming the smoulderin2
embers Of sectional bitterness would
claim that the outrage was Endorsed by
the community in which it occurred. 1t
remained for Southern Governor Gov
Fishbsck, of Arkansas to take the tis'
radical step 10 the direction of the pre-
vention of mob law, by offering reward
for the Identification Of people engaging
in lynchiugs, in order that they might be
punished. We have heard of no similar
action on the part of the chief executive
of Indiana, or the Governor of Minnesota
or the director general of Kansas. This
Northern lawlessness IS shameful.
