A mans home paper is worth more
to him than any other because it gives
him more facts and local news, besides
always working for the best interests
of the home community. When you
subscribe for your home paper and pay
for it, you increase the editors ability
to work for the development OF your
community, and assists in keeping him
on the true course OF self-respecting
independence.
The editor may read the proof of a
paper four times aud pass repeatedly
the same error without seeing it. All
newspaper men will tell you so. But
just as soon rs the press is started
and the paper printed in its complete
shape, there stands the error out in
front Of you so big that you can see
nothing else, 1t is Il strange tact. And
this is the reason it is so easy to edit
a newspaper after it is printed.

The prospect of getting and sending
bundles from distant parts of the
country so cheaply is fascinating.
But, after all. we should pay. the bill.
According to the annual report of
the Postmaster General for 1899, the
excess Of expenditures over receipts
was s6.610.776. The Parcels Post,
therefore, besides bankrupting the
express companies. would not pay the
government. The small stores in
every small town would have to COM
pete still more directly with city de.
partment stores.
1t is curious that these two ad-
dresses should be bound together, the
first one advocating subsidies and the
sec0od one denouncing a plan which
involves the application Of the same
principle.

fury. England has, with occasional
threats, done the bulk Of the water
way business. Mr.. Stubs believes
that the people OF the Uoited States
should encourage American foreign
commerce by passing laws which will
entitle the American ship.Owner to a
subsidy, which will make up to him
for going to sea in competition with
the English or German sea captains.
IL the English can do business at a
profit with protected America. there
is something deficient in the American
captain or ship-owner il he cannot
trade, and make money by it. with
free-trade England. Subsidies, where
the whole people get under one man
or corporation and boost, are increas-
ingly repugnant to the American
mind. IL the ocean carrying business
cannot be carried on by Americans,
unassisted BY their countrymen, as
the Englishman is unassisted by his
ceQntrymen, / hope the latter will
continue to do the business, as he de-
serves to.

"A Study OF Commerce" was delivered
By Mr.. J. C. Stubs before the Ma
ti0nal Association Of Merchants and
Travellers, in Chicag", on August q,
1900. Mr.. Stubbs shows that Amer.
can enterprise stops short on the
coast. We trade with other countries,
but foreign ships carry our imports
aud exports. Americans are keen
enough to carry on any business Ia
which there is profit. Only large sub.
sides from the American people to
snip owners can develop United
States ship tonnage. is it worth a

tiOos the United States is not q rival
Of England. Germany or France In the

In 1907 our foreign commerce was
valued at s246, $4,000, ninety-two per
cent OF which was carried; in Ameri-
can vessels. 10 1911, through the dep
relations of British and French cruis-
ers, IL had fallen away to tl14, ZIG, 800,
and the proportion carried in Ameri.
can ships was reduced to eighty eight
per cent. In 1914, the last year of
the war, the value OF our foreign com.
merce shrank to 10000, 600 and Amer.
ican ships carried only fifty-four per
cent OF it. In 1885 our foreign COM
merce. for the first time, reached the
volume Of 1907. Since then the ton
mage has not equaled the 1907 mark.

Of similar legislation by the United
