invest their funds in it?

La PrenSa,

One reads much in the papers and maya
zines about paper in Buenos Aires, La
Prensa, that quite outshines our most insti-
tutional American papers. La Prensa is a
free doctor, lawyer, library, forum, hall,
museum and hotel. The paper occupies a
81, 600. coo building, which is wholly utilized
by the paper proper and it's various institu-
tons. La Prensa has as good a regular news
paper plant as any paper in the world, cir
culates $4,000 copies daily and cleared $780,
600 for its oy ners last year. One attractive
feature of the building is a restaurant where
the twenty-five reporters and the five editors
are fed at cost. There are some editors and
reporters in the United States who do better
than that, however they take their meals at
the cost of somebody else

Truly, there is need for endowment OF
the public schools, as T he ournal
has once before suggested. Suppose some
good millionaires were to endow the pub
lie schools Of Minneapolis with $1,000, OO0
the income to be devoted to increasing the
pay of teachers. 1t might yield $4,000
year. That would add $100a year to the
salaries of 400 teachers, or $50 year to
the salary of each Of the 800odd teachers
that look after the $1,000 school children
Would not that money be as well in
vested as those great sums that are pro-
vided so lavishly for the emolument and
comfort and ease of the professors in the
great universities?

II is the most competent that ever rep

league as an arc light outshines a tallow

Omaha asks is that the Western league

One of the oddities OF the great national

day, when the Chicago Nationals with one
hit scored two runs. and the Brooklyn team
with five hits scored no runs. On Sunday
Brooklyn shut Chicago out, on Monday the

reversed the order and shut Brooklyn out.
