Harrison Gray Fiske speaks in last
weeks Dramatic Mirror of the controver-
sy that has arisen between the Baltimore
News and certain theaters of that city
because the proprietors Of the paper re-
fused to admit that in buying advertis-
ing space the managers bought also the
opinions of its critic. MIR. Fiske says
briefly:
Commenting on the refusal of the Baltimore
News TO turn its reading columns 70 the
management of local theater in return for ad-
vertsing "favors," the Boston Transcript remarks:
..The proposition to which the News objects is
by means new original. 1t has been put
forward again and again in the same cold-blooded
and business manner. Every self-respecting news
paper refuses it, but there are some that do ac-
cept it, and they are easily discernible. The
humor of the whole thing is that it does no good
either to the manager who makes the bargain or
to the newspaper which ratifes it,.
The transcripts conclusion is absolutely cor
rect Equally futile is method OF influencing
the press that is not attempted so often but
that results similarly-the indirect bribery OF
critic.
There are but one two dramatic writers on
the press who have been serpentineiy ''fxed.r

Of their fragrant dishonesty is known to all who

appointed Governor General of Alge-
ria. NJ Cambon is commander OF
the Legion of Honor, most courtly
gentleman, and there are few more
subtle or resourceful diplomats in Eu-
rope. This is NJ. Cambon's first visit
to this country. In Washington the
French minister ranks first in import
ance of all the diplomats that came
from Europe. This is not alone be-
cause France is republic, but because
of the unbroken ties of friendship that
have lasted since the British were
driven over the sea. For the same
reason the Russian ambassador stands
second in rank at our department of
state. England ranks third, but since
the Sackville-West incident the Brit
ish embassy has lost lots of prestige.

Valuable Profits to Farmers.

Muncie.-Many people. who have be-
lleved that farmers do not share in
the beneficial results arising from the
discovery or natural gas in the Indiana
belt, will be surprised to know that
country people, probably more than
any other class, profit by it. Their
source OF revenue is from leasing their
lands to gas and oil companies. prices
for such agreements being good. An
instance, that shows just how mucn
they are benefited by this system, is
mat a representative of the Ohio and
Indiana Pipeline Company has Juse
completed distributing his quarterly
payment on royalties among the farm
ers in this county. The amount he
turned over to them was nearly $4,000.
In year the company pays out in
this county $4,000 Still, the farmers
retain The ownership and use of the
lands, giving the company only the
privilege of drilling wells wherever and
whenever it sees fit and piping the gas
away. As this is only one out OF about
d dozen companies that contributes TO
the welfare Of the farmers in Delaware
county for lease purposes. it can be
surmised what gas has done and as do
ing for the landowners in the rural
districts
