Not Enough for a First Class Coun-

of the newspapers are sold for
dollar q year, and with few excep-
tions the plants in which they are
printed are covered with chattel
mortgages-and always will be-.
The Reporter is among the class
which believes that, unless in ex-
ceptional fields, no county paper
can be sold for one dollar year
without loss and possible increase
of debt. The publisher may exist
by very hard work and travelling
for wholesale houses, and for years
keep his paper alive. The editor of
the Reporter knows that at $500
and $3.50 rate for years it was hard
work to make the paper a success
even with some outside business to
assist in maintaining it free from
encumbrance, and then only within
the past ten years has it been
self sustaining. Once in while
subscriber thinks that because
another paper is sold for $1OO the
Reporter ought to meet the competi-
ton. But we want to be frank
such price is not competitive-it
is absolutely ruinous and simply
leads to the constant turning of the
grindstone to live, which the Re-
porter does not wish to do. On this
subject the Rockville, Indiana,
Tribune published in town where
cut-throat competition induced the
papers all to 90 to the dollar
price and necessity drove them back
to the $3.50 rate, has this to say,
with the full endorsement of the Re-
porter, and we hope that every one
of our readers will go over it care
fully two or three times:
Five years ago, under circum-
stances that compelled it, the Trib-
une re luced the rate of subscrip-
ton from $3.50 to $1.00 a year.
7 is was business necessity, the
result of cut-throat competition of
a third paper, with which we had
nothing to do. We knew then and
have known all the time since that
the price was too low to afford an
adequate return to the publisher.
Zone dollar a year for a good
county paper is not enough. It is
possible to publish county paper
at this price only where the field is
particularly favorable. If Parke
county or Rockville had double the
population, affording an opportunity
for largely increased patronage, a
one dollar rate would perhaps be
large enough to yield an adequate
return. AS it is the money realized
on subscription falls far short of
paying the running expenses OF the
paper. No county paper is on a
profitable basis when subscription
fails to pay expenses. This is a
we'll known business principle
among newspaper men. The editor
of the Tribune has devoted his en-
tire life to it's development, and
finds after years OF steady work that
the satisfaction of printing a neat,
newsy and not altogether unknown
newspaper, is about all he has got
out of it. Surely man is entitled
to something beyond mere glory,
if he brings to bear even small
degree of ability in his chosen pro-
fession. Many lawyers, for the
work of few days or weeks, will
receive more money than we have
accumulated in twenty years. -

One of the impressive features Of the
present political campaign has been the
remarkable exodus of coIoTed voters from
the Republican ranks. In every State and.
in fact. in every city and town where there
is large proportion Of colored popula-
tion, Democratic clubs composed exclusive
ly of Afro-Americans have been formed.
It is confidently expected by the Demo-
cratic managers that this element Will
prove to be a potent factor in determining
the result in those Atlantic Middle. and
Middle Western States which are ordi-
narily ciassed as doubtful, and in some of
which the coIored voters are sufficiently
numerous TO hold the balance of power.
As means Of encouraging the Demo
cratic sentiment among the colored voters
the National Committee is extensively cir
culating the full text OF the letter written
by Bishop Turner who is at the head of
the colored Methodist Church in the United
States. in which he declares in favor of
the election of Bryan and denounces Nc
Kinleyism and imperialism
Bishop Turner's letter follows:
I am declaring my preference for
William Jennings Bryan for President be-
cause he represents the same broad prin-
ciples that Abraham Lincoln espoused and
I believe it will be for the benefit OF my
people 10 vote for MIN. AS Abraham Lin
coin was friend to the coIorad race so is
William Jennings Bryan.
All OF this silly sentiment Of adhering
10 the Republican party because of Lin
coins proclamation of emancipation is mis-
applied. The Republican party of Lincoln
and the Republican party of Hanna are
distinctly things apart. Lincoln is dead.
but his principles of personal liberty still
live, and verify the mantle of Elijah never
fitted the shoulders of Elisha as perfectly
as Lncoln's mantle fits the broad shoulders
of Bryan.
Lincoln never harbored a trust. He
never believed in governing without the
consent OF the governed He never he
heVea IN grinding down the rights and
privileges OF the common people He
never faIled TO accord honor where honor
was due Now how can anyone recon-
ellie the party principles of Lincoln with
the party principles of Hanna and
Roosevelt

the Republican party has aIwavs mas
queraded as wolf in Sleeps clothing

Physician Says the Playwright " as
Drurged and IItre-ted.


HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. z1.-~Charies
H. Hoyt was drugged and neglected" ae-
cording to Dr. Harry McManus, who Eas
been the guest OF the playwright here
since his release from retreat for the
insane in this city. He has the evidence.
he says, and he is prepared TO prove it
None of his old friends wo, III recognize
! Hoyt today. He weighs 100 pounds. his
health is superb, his color Is that of an
athlete, and he sleeps and eats as far
mer's boy might. His faculties are untIn-
paired; he has perfect grasp OF MS busi
ness affairs. which are being conducted by
his friend and ally, James Lyford
Mr. Hoyt's condition at the time Of
his commitment to the asylum. said Dr.
HcManus, was due chiefly TO drugs and
partly to neglect. Up TO that time he had
received practically no treatment for his
physical condition. His attendants not
only neglected their duty. but whenever
they wanted TO get rid of the care az their
| patient for an evening or SO taey drugged
him.
The men themselves have so boosted
in the village where Mr.. Hoyt was. They
were very frank in saying that they had
a way Of fixing the old man whenever
they wanted to be temporarily rid Of their
cares for an evening to go to ball or
some other amusement
The medicine they gave him has been
analy%ed and it shows a large proportion
Of morphine. I am convinced too from
additional evidence, that the effort TO con-
fine Mr. Hoyt in an asylum was the re-
suit Of a conspiracy. Certain facts
brought out by an examination OF Mr.
Hoyts financial affairs leaves no doubt
of this in my mind
DR.. AcManus left for his home last
night, and it is believed that Mr.. Hoyt
will soon find himself able to take a trip
to New York.

his pistol.
Black men on the battlefield have all
ways been brave. In every war our ma
tion has waged the colored man has shed
his blood willingly.
In the war of the revolution Crisnus A
Attucks, a colored man, was the first to
die on Boston common. During the war
OF 1872 Gen. Andrew Jackson praised the
Yaior OF the men of color at the battle of
New Orleans Fifty thousand coIored men
made way for liberty and died in the civil
war. The gallant Ninth Cavalry rode 100
miles through the binding snow, Christmas
Eve, 1891, and rescued the beleaguered
Seventh from an Indian massacre. They
fought and died in Cuba, and nursed the
fcVeT-stricken soldiers at the risk of their
lives. And they are now forced to fight
their own colored people in She Philip
pines. All this they have done for their
country's sake, and it is left for this vita

Roosevelt, to accuse my people OF being
