THE LOCAL PAPER.

In newspaper work as well as else
where "distance lends enchantment to
the view" Many people imagine that
the paper published far away is for that
very reason better than the home paper.
But this is often not the case.
Every one should be deeply interested
i'll the home paper-support it heartily.
The newspaper is the greatest means
for spreading knowledge i'll existence.
1t is the one means, the only one, that
reaches all the people with knowledge,
and hence is at once school, professor
and textbook combined.
The newspaper, more and more, is
catering to the tastes of all classes. Its
editorial policy may be for one party or
denomination, but in its pages will be
found vast variety of opinions on all
kinds of subjects The secret of the sue
cess of the great dailies is this-that
they have opened their columns to all
kinds of ideas. | am sure that this is
the method and purpose of all local pa
pers who know the trend of things and
appreciate the situation.
The editor who would admit nothing
into his pages but that which agreed
with his own views would certainly be
out of place and not succeed.
AS the forum where opinions and
theories meet and clash, lose and win,
the local paper is great institution,
and is destined to have still greater
future.
Along the two or three lines limited
above--via, % greater variety, (2) more
literary finish, (3) greater accuracy in
statement, whether i'll argument, de-
scriptiOus or reports-the newspaper of
the future will develop, and editors ev
erywhere axe planning and working i'll
these directions. Now, the reader is not
always aware of the great difficulties
and large expenditures necessary for
such improvements. Hence his Cor herr
warm cooperation is of great value.
Too many people, for example, do not
appreciate the fact that notice, an
nouncement, report or article written
for the local paper should be we'll writ
ten. We dash off paragraph of news
and hand it to the editor with not much
care as to its accuracy or its graceful
ness of diction. In writing the most
commonplace of announcements we
should be az careful as in preparing an
essay that is to be perused by a critic.
Again, there are hundreds of good
thoughts cherished in every community
that never get into print. If these sin
cere and capable people would write out
theis dearest opinions, putting them in
crisp, clear, terse and smooth sentences,
editors would be glad to publish them.
These are only few Of the many
ways that we, dear reader, can help the
editor, and we owe it to the cause of
human progress to do so.

trial fields proof that the principles he
advocates are correct. Experience has
demonstrated that the representative
system is as useful in business as in gov
ernment. For the last 20 or 80 years III
many large industries in England all
questions of conditions of work have
been settled, without strike or lockout,
by ''joint boards, P" "boards of concilia-
tion" or Arbitration boards, on which
the associations of employers and en-
ployees have both been represented by
delegates duly chosen and empowered to
legislate for their constituents, and ON
these boards the employers and employ
ees have always had an equal represen-
tation. In our country also and in Bel
gium such boards are known and have
met with equal success, but the practice
of justice with us has been neither so
long nor SO widely extended as in Eng
land, and, strangely enough, employers
here, instead of instinctively recogniz-
ing that this is the only solution of the
difficulties of the "labor question" as
sumo tone of arbitrary ownership and
proclaim their right to issue orders
which must be obeyed.

Description of the Place Where the
Ex-Governor Breathed His Last.

The camp comprises several unique little
log and board buildings The view from
them IS beautiful. One can look out over
the little clearing 10 the beach and across
the river.
The cabin In which the ex-governor died
Is built OF boards, while all the others are

room by curtains are the sleeping apart

one enters the room. is the room which Mr.
nuttun occupies when he is at the camp.
This very rosey little room has always been
at Mr. EussellS disposal. and he has orcu-
pied it each time that he has been at the
camp. In this room the ex-governor died
while peacefully sleeping.
The room on the opposite side Of the
chimney is Ms. Buttons room when in
camp, and here colonel Hrr~v r. RussnlL.slse

the ex-governor silently and painlrssly
passed into eternity Ia the middle Of the

IA very attractive Appearance On the rustic
vrranda there ar" louHging chairs and

con light that points out haven to any be-
lated fisherman or hrHlderrd traveller.

Ice cold milk should be avoided by'cyclists

Avoid all sweetened drinks when riding.
Tney serve only to increase your thirst.
An order has been issued in the District OF
Columbia forbidding the carrying OF babies
on bicycles.
At a conservative estimate, 2500 people in
Atlanta Ga, are riding now, and the num-
Der constantly increases.
One of the latest bicycle fashions in Lon
don is to attach a bunch OF flowers 60 the
front part of the machine
1t has been remarked that the value of
second hand wheel depends upon whether
you are trying to sell it or buy it.
Wheelmen should be careful not to over
ride ut this season of the year, or they Will
suffer consequences in the way OF illness.
In some Berlin high schools special rooms
have been opened for the storage of bicycles
of those pupils who wish to use the wheel.
Mrs. A. E. Rinehart, an enthusiastic
wheelwoman of Denver, Col, has achieved
distinction by riding ten centuries in ten
days.
The number of bicyclists In England is
estimated at 5000 In 1886 England had
sixty-eight bicycle factories; to-day there
are over 700.
When you take your bicycle to the sea-
shore be sure to take good oil rag and oil
along with you for frequent rubbings Of the
bright parts of the wheel will be found
necessary to counteract the effect of the sea
air.
Roumanian bicyclists must have their
names and addresses not only on their ma
chine, but also on the glass Of their lamps
so that they may be read at night. Cyclists
in the streets Of Bucharest must ride in single

The Oregon and Washington people
are much concerned about the threat
ened advent of the Russian thistle,
which is on its way both by rail and by
river from Idaho. Near Pendleton,
Oregon, where it has got lodgment,
they are watching it with the utmost
vigilance, with what results is to be de-
termined. Every farmer or other per
son who thinks he sees Russian
thistle should kill it on the spot and
send portion of its remains to the
nearest experimental station for iden'
tifcation. Whoever neglects this
precaution or strives to "hush up" the
presence of the pest is public enemy.

that there are 256 towns and cities in

bound volumes in the free libraries
has increased in three years from D
