Whenever a man gets his eyes
open to the fact that economy is
needed in public expenditure he
makes his first onslaught on the
publishers of newspapers, and
whenever lot of such men get to-
pether their economy always be-
gins, and usually ends, in an effort
to reduce the fees of the papers
for publications. This arises from
the fact that publishers of papers
SO soon become wealthy and accum-
ulate fortunes at such extraordi-
nary pace. But the time is not far
off when the publishers of news
papers will be driven to unite for
eelf-preservation and to see to it
that the men whose hands are con-
stantly raised against them are
kept where they can do no harm

Summer complaint is unusually

by the timely use of Chamberlain's

cines manufactured and which is
always kept on hand at the home

as free puff for the company, who

be within easy access of a physi-

The Pharisee element in Eng
land, who made the South African
crime possible, have had qualms of
conscience over the most uncalled
for and disgraceful war ever en-
tered upon by the British empire,
and are seeking the removal of
Lord Kitchener, their best soldier
and the mainstay of the army.
They are trying to make a scape-
goat out of the commander-in- chief,
who was largely instrumental in
saving the small portion of pres
tige that remains to the British
arms.

The probability that the Kansas

The probability that the Kansas
corn crop will be destroyed this
wear will indirectly affect the sheep
and cattle business of this state.
If Colorado farmers cannot get
cheap corn they cannot protitably
feed lambs, and present conditions
indicate that corn will he high and
scarce next winter. The sale of
cattle in this state is largely to
Kansas farmers who feed and pre-
pare them for the market. But
they will have no feed, and that
may affect the price of steers in
the range country.

1t is to be hoped that the strike
of the Amalgamated Steel Workers,
recently ordered, will be speedily
settled. A strike of long duration,
affecting such an important indus
>try, would be akin to national
aalamity at the high tide of our
national prosperity. Through the
intelligent cooperation of capital
and labor the United States now
leads the world in this vast indus
try, and it will indeed be unfortu-
nate if at this juncture few triti-
ing differences are permitted to
jeopardize our footing in the mar
kets of the world.

WHO LIES ?

The perverse creature, popularly
known by the sobriquet of "Soapy,"
who has the temerity to acknowl-
edge responsibility for a comedy
of errors called the Citizen, says
"swindling" was practiced in the
matter of the purchase of the fire.
works and candy on the Fourth.
That the Citizen lied on this, as
well as other occasions, is self
evident, because "Soapy" had no
means of information upon the
subject.
For the benefit of the contribu-
tors to the celebration fund, the
PILOT will state that Messrs. Pat
chen, Click and Ross, the commit
tee, jointly realized a profit of
thirteen per cent on the purchase,
which gave $4.35 to each business
house represented by those gentle
men, whose total contribution to
the fund was S32 and large
amount of labor. AS any reputable
business house adds ten per cent
to the cost of such merchandise for
store maintenance, it will thus be
noted that a net profit of three per
cent was made by these "swind-
lers," each of whom was equally
responsible for the outrageous
"swindling" of "Soapy's" fifty-cent
contribution.
The pain that is causing "Soapy"
so much agony Is not due to any
solicitude for the public veal; that
is quantity of which she is de-
void. 1t can be directly attributed
to jealousy and ill-nature famed
into frenzy by the successes of
others.

the graduating exercises of Balti-
more high school last week: "The
Rule of Right and Wrong" "The

almost awe-inspiring. The wisdom
that is bound up in those papers
now of course carefully preserved
must be over-powering. 1t would
be interesting, however, to know
whether there is among the authors
of those wonderful essays any who

A story is told of an old lady
who never spoke ill of any one.
"Why, she would have good
word for the devil himself" said
an acquaintance. When this re-
mark was repeated to the old lady
referred to, she said. "Well, we
might initiate him with profit in
his persistence" We can say the
same for the advocates of free
trade and tariff reform. Nothing
daunts them. Unfulfilled proph-
ecies do not dampen their zeal
Facts, though they contradict their
carefully wrought theories, mean
nothing to them. -Four years
more of Grover" and free trade
they told US would make the land
flow with milk and honey and we
would all be in clover. Well, you re-
member the GLOVER" This did
not daunt these fellows. They
went right on and told us that bad
as things were, they would be worse
if the country returned to protec-
ton. But protection came, bring
ing prosperity, and now they want
to shake it because, they say, the
country has become so well off I'M
der it, that it doesn't need it an
other hour.

MORE ROOM AT THE TOP.

A man whose chlef amDltlOn IL
is to govern the city of New York,
and who has been remarkably sue
cessful in realizing that ambition,
recently ventured to break the dis
Greet silence that has contributed
largely to his political success, and
give public expression to his ideas
on men and things in general. His
remarks did not TEEN with wisdom !;
on the contrary, they so closely
approached the commonplace as to
occasion wonder and humiliation
in the minds of the people that a
political adventurer of such dimin-
utive mentality should exert the
powers of a dictator over the pub
lie functions of the second greatest
city in the world.
1t is not surprising that the sue
cessful leader in a political move
ment, the methods of which glared
with fraud, should entirely mis-
understand the lessons of the pres
ent notable developments in our
industrial life; and he never made
a more erroneous and misleading
statement than when he said that,
owing to conditions brought about
by trusts and commercial combi-
nations, the youth of the country
no longer had fair opportunity
to earn a livelihood. 1t is a mat
ter of fact that one of the most
striking features of the existing
industrial era is the remarkable
prominence of the younger men;
the splendid opportunities open to
them, and the able manner in
which they are discharging heavy
responsibilities, which less than a
decade ago were supposed to fall
only upon much older shoulders.
In America at least, the present
is the epoch of the young man.
He is in great demand. If he
possesses good mental equipment,
and has character and common
sense to back his knowledge, he
will find that there are opportuni-
ties open to him, often at the very
outset of his business career, such
as the young man of an earlier
period would have considered
equivalent to the realization of the
goal attained only by years of
working and waiting.
In most of the great manufact-
uring establishments in the vicin-
ity of Pittsburg the highest posi-
tions of responsibility are filed by
men who have not yet reached the
prime of life. That such young
heads should be charged with di-
recting vast concerns, is traceable
to the amazing rapidity with which
new industries have sprung up
recently, and to the fact that the
existing keen competition requires
the energy and adaptiveness which
are the natural qualities of youth.
Only a few years ago there was an
overplus, especially in the techni-
cal trades and professions, of the
supply of qualified young men; but
today conditions are practically re-
yersed.
