III you live in Adams County you
should't think OF getting married un-
til you have gotten some wedding
stationery at the News Office.
You can have Copperplate, Royal
Script or plate Gothic and COMPLETED
work that will please you in every
particular.
Wedding invitations and announce
ments and other similar stationery
stock are carried by the News Office in
its stock room aud the work can be
delivered to you promptly. First class
up-to-date work will cost you no more
at the News Office than you would
have to pay for Indifferent work at
Offices where the material and machin.
cry do not permit OF good work being
done.
One OF the most important points
about the printing OF fine work like
this is the press work. A poor press
man will be sure to spoil the job even
il he has high grade ink, new type
and good press to work with. Don't
trust a poor pressman.
1t is said that one-half of the
world does not know how the other
half live. 1t is equally true that one
half the earth's inhabitants are at q
loss to fathom the motives or com.
prehend the conduct OF the other
half. A business man, in the habit
OF meeting his obligations promptly
and paying all bills on the first OF
each month or more frequently can
not comprehend the fierce indigna-
tion OF customer, who notified OF an
obligation incurred "a year or two
previous abuses the merchant for so
much as mentioning the debt.
What merchant desires most is q
large volume OF trade and he ought
not to antagonize customers by in.
sisting upon their paying their &C.
counts. A merchant would become
immensely popular if he never in

to "pay up"
Geo. B. Cortelyou, who has just
b,en appointed Secretary OF Com
mcrce in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net, got the position not because OF
fitness, but because, as the Presi-
dents private secretary, he made
good use Of his time in compliment
ing his employer. Cortelyou is a
stenographer "A player on must
cal instruments-not the sort OF a
man for place in the cabinet. He
is more suited to social functions.
The new place in the cabinet should
be filled by a man who has made
himself conspicuous in business al
fairs. Cortelyou is so smooth and
oily that his politics are not known.
He was sort OF valet to William
Mckinley, and sustained the same
relation to President Roosevelt. His
appointment to the new place in the
cabinet has caused some surprise
among those who think they think
Though the politicians OF Congress
are not with President Roosevelt, the
people unquestionably are. The
presidents independence OF political
bosses, especially those of the Senate,
is approved by the people. Politicians
have been accustomed to con.
slider themselves "the whole thing"
for these very reasons the people
are more attached to the President.
The arrogance Of the Senate and
Senators is the one thing in our pc.
litical system that is yet to be
brought under correction.
An esteemed contemporary argues
it would be a more practical pro.
cedurs to arrest parents for per-
mitting their children to be ON the
streets after 8 than to ring q curfew
bell. On that same principle licences
should be issued to saloon patrons in.
