then brought this libel and took away

Every man in every town during the course of lifetime has to ask favor of an editor-not an exception to this rule says an exchange. A man may escape doctor, keep clear of the courts, but once in lifetime, at least, every man has to go to the newspaper to have certain piece put ina death notice, marriage notice, etc., to have a certain piece kept out or to have his name printed in, or omitted from, some item. It is therefore to your in- terest to treat the editor fairly. He desires to be fair; he would rather do the right than the wrong thing; but if you give him kick, the dent of it may be found in the top of your own hat some day and you will never know how it got there. Don't you think you are immune; don't think that providence has especially favored you.
 Your time will come. and when it does come, it will be fine investment if you have friend in the editors office.

The war upon protection to Ameri- can industries and American labor is certain to be renewed in the coming presidential campaign. The demo- cratic leaders have already announced that this is to be the leading issue of the campaign. They have so indicated in their discussions in congress and in every state platform that they have thus far adopted. To all intents and purposes they have sidetracked every other question and have gone back to the old fight on the tariff.

A lawyer in a courtroom may call a man liar, scoundrel, villain or thief and DO one makes complaint when court has adjourned. If a newspaper prints such reflections on a mans character there is libel suit or dead editor. And this must be owing to the fact that people believe what an editor says; what lawyer says cuts no figure.

That the American nation is not made up entirely of workers is shown by the total, 29,073, 233, which is only one-half of the population of 10 years of age and over and about two-ffths of the entire population. Still, the proportion of workers has increased almost 3 per cent over the former statistics.
