E-sNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however.
Judge by results. and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
is many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper.

ing and religious exhortations and are
more than anxious to get back to Ala

genheim might wish to send the blacks
to Alabama, such action would make
the city of st. Louis liable for damages

pense. 1t seems now that they will be

Governor Tanner Is sworn to guard
