We are often brought in contact
with wealthy, or comparatively veal
thy people, who resort to all kinds OF
tricks and schemes in order to win
the earnings OF the poor man. In
speaking OF this class Of "money loan
ers," Word and Works says that the
tricks and schemes played by our
wealthy citizens to evade the laws are
wonderful. 1t is so very difficult to
enforce the laws that touch the purses
OF the rich that il has passed into a
proverb that "If man has money he
can do as he pleases." We hear it
said again, "The rich have always run
things and always will" And we must
admit that they always have. If the
state passes a law cutting interest
down to eight per cent, money loaners
will charge "bonus," provided the
scarcity of money compels the bor-
rover to pay it. If the courts con-
denim that practice, he will have no
money OF his own, but possibly he
can find some if the prospective bor-
rover can offer sufficient inducement.
So he loans Jones' money and Jones
loans his. Neither have any of their
own to spare, but each thinks he
might find some if paid for his trouble.
Thus the law is evaded. If the state
attemps to tax notes or mortgages,
the creditor inserts in the contract q
clause that the borrower shall pay the
tax. Thus the intentions OF the law
are thwarted. Instead of tightening
the poor mans burden, and p putting it
where it properly belongs, it only
makes it heavier.

nISUSE OF THE RATCHET.

There is a tradition that one may
employ Ratchet in the chopping
down OF a favorite cherry tree. The
boy who first did this not only escap-
ed the licking he deserved, but was
taken into the arms OF his father, be-
cause, seeing the futility OF fib, he
told the truth. George was caught
with chips all over him, and George
was shrewd lad. There is perhaps
no living boy who has not at some
period OF his career adopted similar
tactics. Sometimes it works, and
sometimes it doesn't, for the old man
occasionally knows a thing or two
himself. However, this particular
incident was embalmed in song and
story and gave the Ratchet sort OF
standing, Lately the instrument has
been directed towards reform of the
recalcitrant saloon-keeper, through
chopping holes in his bar. This, too,
has had tendency to exalt the sta
ton OF the humble tool, and miniature
hatchets are worn as emblems by
maids and matrons who could never
WELD the real things without chop
ping their own thumbs.
But there is such a possibility ae
abuse of the Ratchet privilege. For
instance, at North Yakima one man
has carved the sky-piece OF another
man, clipping from it a considerable
fragment Of skull. This in itself
would be regarded as reprehensible,
but when the fact transpires that the
ARRAY grew out of a quarrel over an
unpedigreed dog it must be viewed as
adirect reflection upon the dignity of
the Ratchet. The implement that
has been immortalized in history,
that is even now making artistic hicks
in the current historical page, is SUBJ
verified to vulgar purposes when it is
made to participate in dog fight.

Publicity is what advertising gives
to the business enterprises in which
the people are engaged. Point out to
us the business that has increased and
grown with the country or even beyond
and we will show you a judicious and
continuous advertiser. Even the bust
ness houses of Ritzville will attest
such to be the fact. 1t is the constant
judicious advertiser that gets there
This fact is illustrated every day in
more ways than dozen. The finest
show in the world might come to
Ritzville unadvertised and its enter
tainment would be given to few
stragglers; but let fake show even
come that is we'll advertised and the
house is crowded. Advertisements in
these columns will keep our business
men before the public. Try it and be
convinced.

1t is with regret and sorrow that we
learn Of the death OF dear friend in
Oklahoma who has read the News for
three years and Indignantly refused to
pay as much as a single copper. tits
not 80 much on account OF the few
pewters that we Worry, but the thought
of that mans eternal doom makes us
shudder. II it is true, as some bibli-
cal students contend, that there is
special apartment prepared in Tar
taras for those who deadbeat news
papers, then indeed, has our Okla
homa patron gone to "his last roast
ing place" Better get square with
the printer before it is everlastingly
too late. Ii you follow the example
of this Oklahoma man, salt-peter
won't save you. Even the forgiveness
OF the poor newspaper which you beat
in this life, won't wipe out your sin.
There is one little thing that will
cost only trihe, that will do much
toward adding interest to the farm,
attaching the children more closely to
it, and giving to it and to the avoca-
ton OF farming sort of quiet dignity
that will unconsciously exalt every
member OF the family. And that lit
tie thing is naming the farm, and let
its owner procure letter paper with a
printed head on it such as other bust
ness and professional men have, to do
the family writing on, says the Farm,
Stock and Home. The card should
also be on the envelope. A little
thing like this will prove pleasing
and possibly profitable advertisement.
1t will give assurance that the farmer
whose name it carries is progressive,
to-date and is proud of his farm
ard his avocation. 1t will make the
delivery OF his own mail more certain
and prompt, stranger correspondents
will never be misled by possibly indis-
tinct writing into installing the name
of the writer; in short, there are many
advantages in it that are too self-evi-
dedt to require enumerating.

RITZVILLE, MARCH Is, 1901.

A woman calling herself Rose Marie
has written a book against divorces,
but advocating limited or experiment
tai marriages which may be dissolved
after a certain time if the union turns
out distasteful to either or both OF the
parties. Rose Marie thinks that seven
years is about the proper period which
should elapse before the choice is
made between a continuation of con-
jugal blessedness and termination Of
domestic wretcheduess. In the latter
case it is to be without prejudice to
the man or the woman, both having
returned to them all the legal and
social privileges which they possessed
before the marriage took place.

By most men the rosy dreams of
youth are never realized. The work
men must always far outnumber the
employers, more than 100 to l. The
man who puts off the practice of
economy, waiting for time when it
will be easier for him to deprive him
self OF certain pet luxuries, learns
when it is too late that the has passed
the point where he can demand OF the
present that it shall help provide for
his future. Among all the acquaint-
ances we have had not one spendthrift
among them has retired from bust
ness successful man. Possibly you
may look upon that word spendthrift
as one that cannot be applied to you.
You may think it applies only to one
who foolishly throws away fortune.
If you will turn to your dictionary
you will read that he is spendthrift
who is improvident and wasteful. The
word applies with equal force to the
man earning ten dollars a week and
to him who has thousands. There
are no miracles in business career.
The man who wins success has toiled
early and late with all his powers of
body and mind. He has been subser-
Went to his ambition. He has push-
ed aside, because it was the first step
toward success, every habit and desire
that stood between him and his goal +.
No man was ever numbered among
the successful ones unless he was wait
ing and prepared for Fortune when
she knocked at his door. She has
never yet been known to wait for any
man or boy to prepare himself for her
company. We know of no one habit
that SO thoroughly moulds the charac-
ter of a young man as the habit of
economy. 1t gives him strength of
will. 1t teaches him to look beyond
an action to its final result. 1t con-
tinually reminds him that the pure,
sweet, innocent pleasures of life are
almost to be had for the asking, and
that Satan is not only cruel but an
expensive taskmaster.

Newport weekly independent., 1901-11-29
THOMAS c. GILLIAN.

At ten o'clock Wednesday morning, November 6, 1901, Thomas c. Gillian, a respected and popular business man of this city, died at his home in East Newport, after sickness of four weeks to the day, from an attack of malaria typhoid fever, from which at one time his recovery was thought as- sured, but only to be followed by the relapse of last Sunday.
 Y The deceased was born May II, 1871, at Weldon in this county, where he lived until three years ago, when he entered the employ of Wolff & Gold man. For the past two years he has been in business for himself, in which he made success.
 He was married in 1896 to Miss Mat tie Revell of Auvergne, who with three children,Joe Revell, aged three years; Thomas, aged two, and infant, are left to mourn the loss of a husband who was dutiful and loving, of a par ent who was kind and affect;onate. There are brothers and sisters too. who weep over the departure of the deceased and to them all is extended in this sad hour of trial and aff1iction, the sympathy of the community.
 MT. Gillian was an honored mem- Der of the Knights of Pythias and consistent Christian who had profess ed his belief in uniting with the Meth odist church. Death, the reaper of all that is mortal, has claimed another of our citizens and the head of family. and though it may seem hard to loso one beloved, to us is given the assur- ance that inscrutable as are the ways of an wise Providence, He worketh all things for the best.
