NEWSPAPER CALCULATIONS.

The New York World has been max
ing a fine fight against the newspaper
circulation liar. A bill recently intro.
duced in tho New York legislature
makes it q misdemeanor to misrepresent
the circulation of q newspaper or to
print lying figures. The World states
the case very patty in these words: "Ihe
bill to punish fraudulent misrepresen-
tations as to newspaper circulation is
so obviously just that no honest mind
can do otherwise than approve it. No
newspaper which is not engaged in
swindling its advertisers by false mis-
representations can be moved to oppose
the enactment of such a law unless it
be by the fear that after the passage of
the act advertisers might insist upon n
statement of circulation. That, to some
newspapers, would be embarrassing and
even disastrous. In fact only one news
paper SO far has had anything to say
in opposition. The bill is %eminently a
bill in favor of honest newspapers, and
when made law in California was
pressed upon the attention of our own
legislature by the World"
Curiously enough, the bill has met
with considerable opposition from some
Of the papers in New York state that
were believed to have had very large
calculations. The circulation of a news
paper is the advertisers only guarantee
that he will get his moneys worth, and
certainly there a be no legitimate OBJ
lection If no insists on knowing just
what he will get for the price. Alaw of
that sort in effect in Montana would
disclose the fact that The INDEPEN-
DEN has the largest bona tide %circula-
ton in the state, and at the same time,
would disclose interesting methods that
obtain among certain newspapers not
run as legitimate business enterprises.

THERE need be little fear Of cholera
this year if W. may take the word Of

completed, and the water is pure now.
