lives up to them. The business of saw

veloped it from a small local sheet of
a few hundred circulation to thoroly
Representative newspaper, than which
no city in Iowa. the size of Washington

all in such field is unusual; to
make it the unqualified success which
Mr.. Payne has done, shows abilities of

him make a record in his new field

Half the paper money circulating
in the west, according to an Omaha
man quoted by the New York Tribune,
is nasty and dangerous to health. He
justly adds: ut is filthy lucre in "a
literal sense. Why can't we have clean
money? What's the use of handicap
ping prosperity? Printing doesn't cost
much. We ought to have a money fac
tory somewhere west of the .Missis-
sippi. New money should be on the
bargain counter of all the western
banks. If the bubonic plague ever
strikes this country our paper currency
will beat all records of rats as germ
carriers. A dollar bill can do more
than ten rats. 1t moves in better So
ciety. The one dollar bill will make
the bubonic plague as easy to get in
the homes of the rich as in the novels
of the poor"
