THE WORM TURNS.
Some Exaggerated Ideas Cor

1t takes money to run a newspaper.
st. John (Kan.) News.
What an exaggeratioh What a

thousand times; it is case of airy
fancy. 1t doesn't take money to run a
newspaper. 1t car be run without
money. 1t is ncG business venture,
1t is charitable institution, begging
concern, highway robber. A newspa-
per is the child of the air, a creature
OF dream. 1t can go on and on.
Any other concern would be in the
hands of a receiver and wound up
with cobwebs in the windows. 1t takes
gall to run a newspaper. 1t takes
scintilating, acrobatic Imagination, a
a half dozen white shirts, and a rail-
road pass to run newspaper. But
whoever needs money to conduct
newspaper? Kind words are the me-
dium of exchange that do the business
for the editor-kind words and church
sociable tickets When you see an
editor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying his bill and disgracing the
profession. Never give money to an
editor. Make him trade it out He
likes to swap

1t would overwhelm him. Money is
corrupting thing. The editor knows
it :-what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks.
Take your job work to some city Of
fee, and then come and ask for free
church notices. Get your lodge letter
heads and stationery printed out of
town, and then flood the editor with
beautiful thoughts in resolutions of re-
spect and cards of thanks. They
make such spioey reading, and when
you pick it up filled with these glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
so proud of your little local pa

But money-scorn the filthy thing
Don't let the simple, innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that
for solid trades people who charge for
their wares. The editor gives his
bounty away. The Lord loveth a
cheerful giyer! He'll take care of the
editor. He will get the paper out
somehow, and stand up for the town
and whoop it up for you when you run
for Office, and lie about your pigeon
toed daughters tacky wedding, and
blow about your big-footed son when
he gets a four dollar a week job, and
weep over your shriveled soul when

A puny child is always an anxiety

ally no reason why the little one should

stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition are not doing their

WHERE WOMEN RULE.
A Michigan Town Pleased With Its Female
Officials,

The town of Beatle Michigan, is the
first municipality in this country, il

government ntirely to women. AT
the election last spring woman was
chosen for every Office in Beatle from
the mayoralty down.
An observant and relia BILE newspa-

declares hat its experiment of wo.
man rule has been entirely successful.
1t has proved satisfactory to the men

would now change it if they could.

very interesting things about Beatle

matter as a joke and referred to the OPP

of this ridiculed ticket were in earnest.
They organized systematic campaign

they would manage the affair of the
town, a combination of households,
better. This argument, or something
else, convinced majority of the vot-
ers of Beatle and the women were
elected by handsome majorities, That
they have governed the town we'll is
admitted on all sides.
The town enjoys unusual prosperity
The streets are kept clean, laws en-

preserved, and the finances have been

have been kept down, but at the same
time many ne cessary improvement
have been made.

HAGUE CONFERENCE FAILS.
Looks Now as Though the Treaties Will Not
Be Ratified.

In diplomatic circles an unpleasant
suggestion has been thrown out to the
effect that The Hague conference has
resulted in complete failure, and that
even the limited program agreed upon
is never to be perfected. The basis for
this view is the fact that up to this
moment no notice has been received
that single one of the powers repre-.
sented in the conference has ratified
the three conventions prepared there.
The treaties themselves requir such
ratification. Only one of the three
treaties has been ratified by the Unit
ed States senate and even in that case
the formalities have not been carried
to completion.

The Southern train, due at the junction,

thirteen minutes earlier than at pres

train should be held fourteen minutes
