SENSIBLE TALK.

Natchez Democrat.
In discussing the newspaper bust
ness the Montgomery (Ala.) Adverti-
ser expresses the following very SEN
sible opinion: Southern newspapers
have as a rule been run too much as
public property and not enough as
business enterprises. A newspapers
space is It's stock in trade, and the
public should be educated into not
expecting the proprictors to give it
away to everybody and every thing.
When the truth is more fully realized
and acted upon there will be more
newspaper successes. The public, in
days gone by, has made newspapers
and newspaper men a sort OF by-wOrd
for poverty, but newspapers are learn
ing to correct this impression. The
public is largely to blame for the csti-
mate it has too frequently formed by
outright begging OF all sorts OF favors
from publishing enterprises in their
reach and by getting their cheek re-
wardcd. People should be educated
out Of this habit. AS fast as newspa-
per men teach their neighbors that
newspaper space costs money and Ia
Dor to produce and has a market
value, Just that fast will the public
respect the undertakings at their
doors as a business enterprise worthy
of support. Then the average man
will no more think Of boldly begging
for newspaper space for his individ-
ual benefit than he would think OF 60
ing into a clothing store and display
ing the cheek to beg for a hat or a
coat, or into a grocery store and ask
ing for a barrel of flour or a side Of
meat. True enough IA newspaper
must not be run as IL money-making
machine, purely. That is calculated
to exclude conscience, liberality and
enterprise. But it should not carry
the idea to an extreme. 1t should be
conducted so as to yield sufficient in
come to enable it to pay its legitimate
expenses, to pay its workers good
wages and to leave something for a
profit to its Owners-in other words,
just like any other proper business en-
terpriSe."

Mr.. Albert E. Turner, one of the
well-known book men Of the United
States, and the representative Of a
mammoth publishing concern whose
plant Is located at Rahwah, N. j., in
an interview a few days ago said:
THE one book whose sales 60 on in
creasing year by year, and which
leads all other publications by hun
dreds Of thousands Of copies, is the
Bible. Where do they 20? l give it up.
You can 20 into hu ndreds OF homes
and never see the Holy Book, but
nevertheless the demand never slack
ems. Generally speaking, the bust
ness is in a flourishing state, and the
publishers can't turn them out fast
enough. Right nov there is no book
enjoying a specially heavy run. The
Heavenly Twins and 'Trilby' were
the last to score big hits with the
reading public. The Twins sold up
to 100000 copies, but to-day both it
and "Trilby' are a drug on the mar.
ket. People have stopped asking for
them, and dealers coul d'nt sell them
at any price. As to cheapness It would
seem that the limit had about been
reached. Dealers are now selling
standard works at 81 1.2 cents that
not many years ago sold for 90. 25. The
department stores, by adding books
to their wares, have also been a con-
siderable factor in the reduction OF
prices"

idahO's Invalid Laws.

The supreme court OF Idaho has re-
fused to grant hearing in the case Of
the fee bill. This is the case wherein
certain laws OF the state were declared
invalid because they were not passed
in conformity with the requirements
OF the state constitution. In its de-
cision the court says:
The constitution requires certain
things to be done in connection with
the passage Of any and all laws. 1t is
true that the doing OF these things are
matters of procedure But by what
right shall any one be permitted to
say that any OF the things required by
the constitution to be done are insig-
nilicant and may therefore be omitted.
Has any one more right to say that
one OF the things required by the con
stitution is insignificant" and may be
omitted than he has to say any other
thing required is "lnsignilicant" anc
may therefore be omitted? II the righ'
to ignore one provision exists the
right to ignore all exists. If the court
must wink at one violation OF the con.
stitution, it must wink at other viola
tons Of it. II the court must approx,
one violation OF the constitution i
must to be consistent approve othe
violations Of it. We must be subjec
to the constitution, or else be subjec
to the whims of those individuals VIII
treat the sanctity OF the constitution
, as Fictitious" and its provisions a
