'.INaIr Deadly

Printers Ink gives an example of
hotch-potch by papers whose makeup
is controlled, not by the publishers,
but by advertising agents:
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2S.-Ex-Senator James
G. Fair, the bonanza millionaire, died of
asthma at ll:45 tonight at Lick House.
In the nick of time the cooking was saved
by using DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder.
James Graham Fair was born December 3,
1881, near Belfast, Ireland. He came to this
country in 1913. and in 1867 formed a partner
ship with John w. Mackey, |. c. Flood and
William S. o Brien, the famous bonanza firm
He was elected United States Senator from
Nevada March 4, 1881.
The worst part of the whole business
is-the agents who thus disigure the
sheets also dictate the prices the
publisher shall charge for the deface-
ments.
The ultimate results of the practice
are (D publishers abdicate control of
their own property, and (2) disgust
their patrons with the nauseating
sandwich of illegitimate with legitimate
reading matter.
1t is all wrong, and until papers that
indulge the distortion shall reform they
should strut up about being "the best
papers," etc., on the planet.

1t Will Not Down,

A short while ago the JOURNAL
stated that the republicans are more
decidedly favorable to the silver idea
than the democrats.
The Cumberland NeoS disputed it
and, as usual. set out to establish its
contention by citing something ex-
traneous- something Senator Voorhees,
had said or done.
But when the gold bond resolution
came to vote in the House of Repre-
sentatives two weeks ago SO democrats
voted for it, 81 against it, and 81 re-
publicans voted for it and 63 against it.
In brief, the democrats were nearly
equally divided, but twice as many re-
publlcans voted against it as for it.
There is no escape from one con-
fession-it is an extremely trouble
some question for both parties, and it
is no use for any party paper to dis
guise it, especially the Ne,os.

PrOSpectuS,

The Homecoming report that the price
of mining will probably be restored to
80 cents ton April | sounds like the
old catch had begun business this year
ahead of season.
The old price restored would be a
good thing undeniably, but in face of
the fact that the men who have to sell
the coal are trying to "get together
and see that it sells at u profit on the
present cost as represented by the
wages paid for mining, transportation
and other expenses is not very aus
picious of an early raise of any item
of cost.
Indeed, the situation in market looks
more like the object of the statesmen is
to keep wages from falling below 10
cents
1t is wrong, therefore, to give cur
rency to improbabilities and inspira-
ton to delusive hopes.
When the 80 cents comes, if ever, it
will arrive in advance of rumor.
1t will never come after; and, gen
tlemen of the Noble Orders, both of
North America, as sure as you are
born to die, it will neoer, NEVER,
NEVER come as an answer to a
strike!
