NEWSPAPER IMPERTINENcE.

An item is going the rounds telling how Chicago reporter failed to get an interview from Colonel William Cody C'Buffalo Bill'O. concerning his divorce proceedings. To all the re- porter's questions he answered that he declined to talk about a woman, espe- c!ally his wife, even when twitted by the remark that she and her friends had talked unreservedly about him. The only surprising thing about the incident is that Colonel Cody did not lose his temper and slap the reporters s face. There are some things which the public has no right to know and a newspaper no right to inquire about
 It IS proper journalism is a case of this sort to record the facts-the filing of the suit, the allegations, of the peti- tion, the essential points of the evil dence and the final disposition of the case. Even then publication should be so phrased as to make it as inoffensive as possible. Anything more is unpar- donable impertinence. An expression from Colonel Cody, for instance, would serve only to satify a morbid taste for the sensational and the unwholesonle It would probably sell a few newspa- pers and encourage the soft-minded to look to the paper for further disclos- ures. That, of course, is the purpose of the publication of such matter, and that is what makes it so offensive making business of vulgarity and de- passing journalism to the plane Of the scandalmonger. This is the yellow Journalism which has done such infin- ite harm to the craft. It may be re- marked Tn passing that Mir. William Randolph Hearst, candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, is the chief exponent of this school of journalism, and it is pitiable to ob- serve that his financial success has made many rival newspapers descend to the same low methods. It ia a mat ter of cOngratulation that the south ern press is comparatively free from this taint. Southern newspapers are not so "enterprising." but they are eminently more respectable and their influence Is correspondingly greater.
 There is plenty of news without nos ing into personal scandals. There is ample heart interest in the common place incidents of life to make any newspaper readable. And the news papers that make themselves mediums of useful information rather than sew CTS of sensation may count upon the most enduring popularity. At any rate they will have the satisfaction Of knowing that they have bettered the conditions of life.-Houston Post

TONED INTO PORT
The Vanguard of the Returning Auto
 mobiliSts Arrives in Town.

Matt Bunker, driving along the Tempe road early yesterday morning came upon two forlorn looking indi- Viduals sitting by the road side, gag ing alternately toward Phoenix and to- ward balky automobile. At the sight of Mr. Bunker their faces lighted up and they hailed him. He did not at first recognize them for their count enances were buried in dust and whis- kers. He shied away for at that hour there were not many people abroad, no house was near and braver man than MT. Bunker would naturally have hesi- tated at the prospect of encountering an overwhelming force of tramps.
 But they called him by name and that reassured him. Approaching nearer he found that they were A. J.. Lyons and w C. Miller of Jerome re- turning from the territorial automo- bile tournament at Tucson. That is they had returned that far but for some hours had not been returning.
 They said that they constituted the vanguard of the northern automo- bilists from the north. The rest were spread somewhere between the cross cut canal and Tucson. Their machine had stopped about daylight and noth- ing that they could think of it had in- duced it to resume. They had tele- phOned to Phoenix but none of the ma chine shops were open and they were waiting for Phoenix to wake up.
 Mir. Bunker tied their automobile on behind his buggy and lowed it into port. Later in the day F. s. Foster and Mrs. Foster of Prescott arrived The other northern delegates are ex- pected at any moment. But at the same time their failure to arrive would not be uneXpected

ROULETTE

To Ia roulette
 My gaming pct
 l love to bet
 And do it yet. Merrily goes the ball around; A score of players note the sound. Now it's slowing, now it drops, They eagerly rubber" where it stops, Hoping that Dame Fortunes smile May light upon their little pile. But where is the sphere of white Gagged, after it's restless flight? "E. O. Lenn," the dealer cries. No one there; there's naught but
 signs.
 One man says. T played that last. Lasts don't count; that roll is past. Buy another stack and try To win. Of course, again you buy, For buying is most of the game, Losing's but another name. If you don't buy you cannot lose. To buy or not? For you to choose. Of course, you win once in awhile, That's the bait you to beguile. But watch the players; you will see That loosers more than winners be; But if a winning streak comes by, To make killing you will try. That play has just one certain end, Back to the bank your checks you'll
 send.
 And yet why will the Holsters play. Knowing the truth of what I say? Just can't help it, fascinated, Sure to lose as I have stated. Eacn minute they say, Q suckers born, And lambs are bred but to be shorn, And sure enough they do t here, Cleaner than any herders shear. They take the wool. off of the sheep. And do it sleek, you never peep. So back you go for another stack; There's a limitless number in the rack They'll all be there when you are
 broke, And not another thing tc soak. Don't thilx that this is all a joke For l was once A SUCKER.

Bound to be "Extras."


Actors frequently receive unexpected
proof of the realism of their art. This
story, which is reported from a Chicago
theater is like the story Of the artist
who painted fire SO wildly that a
servant threw water ON it.
Hamlet" was the play. In the gall
lery, two small newsboys were watch
ing with GREATNESS interest. The last
act was drawing to a close. The duel
almost dragged the boys from their
chairs.
Before their eyes the queen was poi
soned, Laertes killed, tn eloing killed,
Hamlet killed. On the final tragedy
the curtain Started down. The audi
ence was spellbound.
In the gallery sounded a clatter and
crash as one OF the boys bolted for the
door.
Come on, Jimmy" he shouted back
to his pal Hustle up! Dey'll be ex-

as real as news.

Scientific Railway SIGNALING.

device has been invented and
patented in Germany which will enable
train dispatcher to stop train auto
maticaliy after the train has passed
the signaling station.
Had such a continuance been in use
on American railroads, many of the
horrible wrecks of the past year might
have been prevented. It is not unfre :
have been prevented. 1t not unfre-
quently happens that owing to blund-
err on the part of some operator or
through the accidental failure of a
signal Light to work, or from the care
lessness OF an engineer, train rusliles
to its destruction. The dispatcher may
discover the mistake before the smash
up, but he can do no more than order
the wrecking train to the spot where
he knows the inevitable accident will
occur.
BY the use of this German device.
the dispatcher can operate simple
apparatus, attached to the rails, and
working by electricity, which will
come in contact with plate on the
engine and open the air brake valve,
stopping the train.
The report of the Interstate Com
merce commission shows that $500
persons We're killed on railways last
year. in addition to a large number
injured and MANNED. In single week
100 persons were killed.
Inadequate signal systems are to
blame for large percentage of the
dead. In view of the high Develop
ment of the modern railroad train, the
signal systems in use are surprisingly
inadequate. Congress now has before
it the recommendation of the Inter
state commission that a law be passed
to protect life on railroads. and it is
to be hoped that speedy action Will
be taken in passing such q mea-
sure
No system of signaling is adequate
which depends entirely on some mans
sobriety and attention to duty. In
this inventive age it should be posi-
BILE to devise an automatic check upon
the tendency of man to bunder. An
electrical appliance, after the fashion
of the German plan, might be amplified
so that the approach of danger would
be evidenced by the most efficient form
of signal--the immediate and automat-
c stoppage of the train.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
The Stock Market Seems to be in ;
State Of Quiescence.

state OF QuleScence.
| New York, March 7-Henry Clews
in his weekly financial letter says:
| Inertia seems to have settled down
on the stock market. both dealings and
| fluctuations having been confined
within exceedingly narrow limits. In
| vestors, market leaders. professionals.
and in fact all classes of operators.
are in a very conservative mood, de-
| termined apparently to await the out
come of pending events before engag-
| ing in commitments for the future.
Indirectly the war between Russia and
Japan is exerting a very potent infiu-
ence on the local market. On the con :
tinent and especially in France, an
important contingent have been taken
by surprise. Evidently they believed
war. could be averted, and. being some
what unprepared, the necessarily rap
i'd adjustment to new conditions is
decidedly inconvenient. 1t is among
these classes that losses have fa. on
most severely. causing more or less
anxiety concerning settling day in
Paris, where there has been a great
deal of forced liquidation. In other
quarters there is also apprehension
regarding. the QufatlOn oil the war ana
disturbances in thu balance of pswer in
Europe that might follow serious re-
verses in Russia. Under such circum-
stances the great bankers of tire world
are disposed tohavetheir funds in good
commando; not merely as a ma tier OF
safety, but also to take advantage Of
opportunities. Should the war be of
long duration, both Russian and Japan
will have to borrow extensively in the
worlds money markets, both nations
having already sounded london, Paris,
and even New York on that point.
Such possibilities naturally produce
very conservative feeling abroad.
where strong efforts have been made
TO prevent fall In government secur-
tiles, notably in Russia, in which an
attempt at Paris to prevent short
sales served to stimulate rather than
allay distrust. Rightly considered,
these conservative proceedings are
q safeguard against disaster in event
of emergencies; but they are incon-
venient to those involved in unsuc-
cessful speculation. and have alreadv
exposed several weaks spots and in
duced important failures.

State Association Composed of
Leaders of Various Agricul-
tural Societies Formed
WILL CONCENTRATE EFFORTS
The Organization is to Be Known as
The Iowa State Agricultural and In
dustriaI Leasue-object is to Pro-
mote Interests of the Farmers-Gen-
eraI State News.

| Des Moines, March mime of tn,
promoting agriculture in Iowa have
| banded together and organized the
| Iowa State Agricultural and Indus
/ trial League" in order to concentrate
| their efforts. The members of the
league will be confined to the officers
OF the associations.
The associations which have already
Joined the league are Iowa State Ag-
ricultural society, Iowa Improved
Stock Breeders association, Iowa State
Dairy association, Iowa State Horti-
cultural society, Iowa Corn Growers
association, Iowa Grain Dealers assoc
citation, Iowa Manufacturers associa-
ton and Iowa Brick and Tile associa
ton.
The following officers have been
elected: President, c. L. Watrous,
Des Moines; secretary and treasurer.
George A. Wells Des Moines. Execu-
tive committee, G.. l.. Watrous, Des
Moines: George A. Wells, Des Moines;
E. NJ. Wentworth, State Center; S. B.
Shilling, Mason City; Wilbur w.
Marsh, Waterloo.
The object of the league will be to
promote agriculture in Iowa. They
will work in harmony with the agri-
cultural college at Ames. One thing
will be to improve the grains. thus in
creasing the output of the state. Spe-
cial attention will also be paid to the
livestock industry.
Want Bills Passed.
Secretary George A. Wells stated
yesterday one Of the first things the
association has taken up is to assist in
securing the appropriations for the ex-
pertinent stations at Ames. 1T is
quite essential that the appropriations
be made" said Mr.. Wells. VIowa was
never more in need of assistance in
agricultural lines than now. The
farmers in the. northern part Of the
state are still suffering from the eff
fects Of floods and hail. The quality
of their grain is very poor, far below
the average. If they plant seed from
last years crop, they will not have half
a crop this season. The corn oats and
wheat is so poor it will not terminate.
"The department at Ames can not
send out the necessary circulars be-
cause they haven't the money. The
farmers if they do get new seed, are
liable to send to parts which have
different climate and the grain will not
grow we'll.
THE appropriations for the expert
ment station are merely investments.
They will aid in improving crop condi
tions and the increase in monies will
be felt by every business in the
state"
Secretary George A. Wells OF the
Iowa Grain Dealers association is now
comforting with the other officers rel
alive to calling the annual convention.
Some want it held here in April, while
others desire to postpone it until May
or June. A decision will probably be
reached in few days.
