The Country Paper.

The Duluth Evening Herald has a
few words to say regarding country
newspapers that are strictly to the
point. The Herald takes as a basis
for its utteranceS the recent action
Of the Minneapolis Tribune in asking
the country newspapers to pay for
their exchange copy of the Tribune.
The Herald says:
ga Twin City daily newspaper is
wrestling with what it calls its lex
change problem" and has prepared a
set Of figures showing what it cost to
maintain an exchange list and at
tempting to prove that it is impos-
sible to conduct it without charging
! newspapers that seek exchange cOur-
tesies price for the privilege of
going on its subscription list, that
price being about half its regular
rate.
Apparently it is the sO-called
country press" that is agitating the
Twin City publication, and which it
seeks to charge stated price for
receiving the paper. In short, it is
wearied Of its exchange list Of country
newspapers, and seeks to limit it by
making the country editor pay for
his paper.
NOW, the Herald values its country
exchanges quite as highly as it does
any Others on its large list of exchang-
eS. Indeed, il it came to a choice Of
abandoning its general exchange list
throughout the country at large, or
its list Of country papers in the terri
I tory in which it circulates, it would
certainly choose without hesitation to
keep its country exchanges.
"The country editor may occupy a
humber place on the stage Of the
worlds theater, but it is not less use
full than that of the city brother.
Through the columns of his news
paper he breaches loyalty to his home
community and the home state, and
he reflects public opinion in his vic
Unity much more clearly, in many in
stances, than the metropolitan editor
does of'his community. In too many
Instances the city newspaper is hedg-
ed about by business alliances that
make its utterances something less
than free; in politics. if it is party
organ, there is generally much less
independence than is found in the
country newspaper.
"a metropolitan newspaper that
aims to serve its territory can hardly
do it without the assistance Of its
country exchange list, for the papers
on that list can generally be depended

''This is a free country" you know

Of men ought to have the right to

they like. We agree with you and on
the base of this fundamental principle
of freedom we are organizing our
selves and our friends to a con-
sumer'S organization in order to
producers, including dealers. This is
now quite criminal resolution ac-
cording to your article. You have

Socialist association agreeing during
the months of December, January
and February to use ourselves and to

following businesses" -then these
enumerated.
Is here promised anything more
than to use and to recommend GER
tain businesses? How can you then
then tell that this paper was deal
whereby the signers bound them
selves to the sOciallstic idea? And
then you try to mislead your readers
by telling that "as soon as the real
aim of the paper was discovered, a
large number had their names taken
out" No truth. There has been no
one who had taken Oft his name be-
cause he discovered something"
One minister with his wife and five
clerks in a store liked to have their
names away for some time because
Finn clerks in other stores had arous-
ed people against this organization
and telling even so rough stories that
the socialists will hang every one not
signing their paper binding to social
ism. Then there WAS one girl more
whose boarding house keeper COM
PEELED her to take her name out. This
was the large number and the bal

To Remove a Tighf Ring.

A very simple way of removing a
very tight ring from the finger is to
take a piece OF small cord or wrapping
thread and push one end of it under
the ring. Then, taking hold OF the
other end Of the string, begin winding
around the finger from close up against
the ring to the very tip of the finger.
Then, to remove the ring, take hold
of the end of the cord that was slipped
under the ring and unwind the cord.
As the unwinding progresses the ring
will be carried along with it and re-
moved without difficulty.
