The telegram from our correspondent
at Slmla describing the opposition Of
fered by Russian influence In Persia to
the further development OF the Quetta-
Nushki route between India and Persia
Is fraught with many important and
critical Issues. The route In question
has been opened UP by the Indian gov
eminent as affording preferable and
practicable" alternative channel for
trade between India and the CONNER
cial centers Of eastern Persia, as COM
pared with the older route which APP
proaches those regions from the Per-
sian port OF Bandar Abbas. But the
chief and very formidable obstacle TO
the further development Of this route
Is to be found In the persistent and
growing opposition Of Russia. Russia,
by virtue OF the loan contracted at the
beginning OF last year, has acquired ef-
fectiye control ever the customs sell
vice Of Persia. II may be that II would
be wise, prudent. and expedient TO pun.

ests which It might cost us too dear to

WILL MAKE A TWO CENT
RATE
Roads Opetating From Chi
cago to Comply With
Michigan Law.

Officers of the railroads operating
out of Chicago into Michigan are pre-.
pairing to reduce their passenger rates
to two cents per mile to comply with
the law in that state fixing that as q
maximum, which will go into effect
the first day of next year.
For several days rate clerks repre-
senting these roads have been in con-
ference in Chicago making prelimi-
nary arrangements for establishing
the new schedules. Tariffs have not
yet been actually printed or agreed
upon in the hope that some delay may
be had in putting in the lower fares.
A general reduction of passenger
rates from 3 to 2 cents per mile will
mean immense financial losses to the
roads operating in that state. There
appears no disposition, however, fur.
ther to fight the new statute and it 10
probable that the lower rates will be
announced soon.
The Michigan Central is the only
road that would be exempted from the
new law If its officers saw fit to take
advantage of their rights. The COM
pany is operating under special char
ter which exempts it from statutory
reductions in rates. Stockholders of
the Michigan Central will hold spec.
ial meeting in Detroit seen to consider
the advisability of giving up the old
charter and reorgenizing the company
under the general railroad laws of the
state.

Yankee Notions Abroad.

Several enterprising Americans
are now preparing or projecting
large hotels in London, to be
managed on the American plan
and with all conveniences to
which Americans are accustomed
to at home, but which they cannot
find at English hotels. This nov
ment amounts to declaration
that the number of Americans in
England are expected to be large
at all times. Apparently our So
cial conquest of that country is to
proceed equally with our CONNER
cial victories. .-Phila. Ledger.

A Newspaper Problem.

No matter what care may be used
in the preparation of copy for a daily
newspaper and no matter how care,
fully all the multitudlnous items NAV
be watched which go into the paper to
make up the whole and complete his
tory of the twenty -four hours which it
depicts, it is never complete and never
perfect. 1t is as near so perhaps as
human mind and human ingenuity
can make it, but the paper has never
been printed yet on which the publish
or could not look back with some feel.
ing of regret or criticism, seeing here
and there where improvements could
have been made. This item might
better have been left unwritten, or
that item might have beea made more
complete and perfect. All newspaper
makers know this. All newspaper
makers know also that while they
must necessarily depend upon the pub
lie for information which they arrange
and place before their readers they are
liable to gross imposition at times. In
many instances their experience has
taught them what to accept and what
to rejecl, but the best are often caught
OIL what may appear to them to be per
fectly legitimate and innocen. news
items, but which in reality are matters
of grave injustice to certain parties
and turn out to be a sly method the
giver of the news" has of venting his
spleen or perpetuating what he may
think is good joke, using the paper
as q vehicle for the purpose. The
Daily Courier, in common with every
other paper IN the state, has had these
experiences. 1t is useless to cali at
tention to them by particularizing the
cases, but they have occurred and in
several instances have embarrassed
the office and have made the paper
guilty of inflicting wrongs on inno-
cent people. The remedy for such a
condition is hard to find. 1t leads to
distrust of all facts given to the re-
porters for the papers, yet no matter
how much they distrust they can hard
ly escape being caught occasionally.
When the world can be cleansed of
smart Alecs and practical jokers who
revel in what they believe to be hum.
orous hits at their friends, and when
all people become honest, then such a
condition may never arise. But until
that time comes, and we do not see
any signs of it at present, we will have
to jog along in the same old way, trust.
ing to luck and what good Judgment
we may possess to keep FREQ from thes e
impositions. That is the way we look
at it. Maybe someone can designate
surer and better method to stop it. -

There is no quality more pro-
ductive of happiness in the every
day affairs of life than an ability
to see the humorous eide of q
problem. Nothing else will SO
brighten up the hours or days
chat are filled with little anxieties.
Nothing else will SO quickly dis
sipate a food of tears or an out
burst of temper. Nothing else
will so relieve the strain and
bring rest to tired nerves. The
sense of humor sheds light upon
thousands of little events which
otherwise often lead into dark
difficulty. Try the laugh as a
peacemaker, as sedative, as a
method of government for the
children. It is when judiciously
used more potent than fairy's
wand in adjusting the disagree
able trifles of life. It drives aside
the conditions which tend toward
trouble. It has even been known
to effect physical change result
ing in complete recovery when
death was apparently but few

Mo. Valley, Ia, Nov. 6, 1900. Editor
Mo. Valley DAILY TINES; Dear Sir
In recent issue of your valuable
paper I noticed an item copied from
the Persia Globe in which the enter
prising editor of that sheet ventured
to say that there are q number of
young men in his town who, after q
hard days work husking corn, would
throw the wrestling champions Of
Dunlap, Logan or Mo. Valley. l wish
TO state that we held q tournament
here not long since, open to all amateur
wrestlers of Harrison county, and
that offered expenses to any wishing
to come here and compete, this offer
being advertised fully six weeks, and
I cannot understand how they over
looked their opportunity to demon
strate their ability to throw these same
champions.
Now, while am not authorized to
speak for Logan l have not the slight
est doubt of their willingness to enter
q tournament, and If Persia will give
q tournament and offer the same in
ducements l offered can guarantee
entries from Dunlap and Mo. Valley
to prove conclusively which atmos-
phere is productive of the best Drawn.
Now, Persia, it is up to you. What do
you say?
Trusting you will give this your
consideration Iremain
Yours Respectfully,
