GRATING AND PUBLICITY.

New York Financier.-In view Of the
developments of the year to date, the
average clean minded American has
some reason for his belief that the
body polite is saturated with a spirit
Of grating, which word Is a mere
modern Interpretation Of the plain
English term stealing. Yet we cannot
see that there is occasion for the fore
boding that appears to prevail in most
gatherings where the subject is drs-
cussed The United States is not go
ing to the dogs because few thieves
have been discovered in high places
On the contrary the revelation and ac-
companying execration of wrong do
ing that are part and parcel of our
recent history afford the strongest evil
dence that to the national spirit the
thief is still as obnoxious and repug-
nant as at any time in our career as a
nation. If public conscience had been
hardened to a liberation or cynical in
difference Of .;navery and betrayal Of
trust, there might be reason for de-
spair, but who among those who read
Of the exposed or confessed wrong
doer is comfortable? The denuncia
ton and the contempt which such men
have encountered, irrespective of their
standing in society, make it plain that
the average citizen is honest, that he
still hates knavery, and when occasion
or opportunity offers will crush it out
as he would a physical pestilence that
threatened his or his neighbours home
Corruption, financial and political,
is not a new disease. History does
rot record nation that escaped it
entirely, but it does reveal that those
Which fought it survived longest. And
the United States :oday is fighting
corruption in high places as no nation
before has ever done. To the extremist
the difficulty of branding the evil-do
with the mark of conviction and sub
sequent punishment may afford ground
for despair, but court conviction i,
not ALWAYS the heaviest penalty. Pub
lefty is quite as effective in bringing
home to the evil doer the consequences
of any infraction Of the law given on

NEWSPAPER ADvERTIs!Ne,

Without pretending to dogmatize,"
declares a well known authority on
advertising, sit is safe to make the
assertion that there is no business in
the world that cannot be promoted
successfully by advertising
81 In the right mediums,
"2. With the right copy,
90. Given the right display.
a. Backed Up by the right kind of
work in other directions.
These are facts that every advertis-
er should bear in mind. Every ad-
vertiser," nowadays, means about the
same as every business man." for
competition is so keen that special ac-
tivity is necessary to make a mercan-
tile business pay as it should
Newspaper advertising is gaining in
popularity among business men and
the public is growing to depend on
the reputable newspapers for advice
az to bargains in mercantile lines and
advice on practically every question
Just as the newspaper is improving
as medium of news. SO is it growing
in its ability to give the advertiser
full returns for his investments.

their ingenuity. their 'go-ahead" spir-
1t. have made Wapello county and es-
pecially Ottumwa business like and
progressive. No pull can secure
membership in the association for any
one who has not lived in the county
the required number of years cannot
join.
May the Wapello County Old Set
tiers association live long and may it's
members prosper. The roll of dead
is growing longer each year and the
duties of citizenship are falling from
those older shoulders to the shoulders
OF their sons, while the duties of
strong womanhood are being passed
from mother to daughter. Let the old
settlers association be perpetuated,
one generation taking place of the
previous one. 1t will be means of
improving the standard of marhoon
and womanhood in the county, for it
will hold before the younger and more
active members always the example
of their elders, the real pioneers.

EXCEEDING ITS POWERS,
New York Press Evidently Has New
York Legislature Ratified.

Albany. N. Y. July 1.-THE Legisla-
ture, tonight, spent nearly the whole
evening in coming to the conclusion
hat its procedure in reference to the
allegations in the New York Press of
{, big LohbE," Doodle" and improper
political influences in the Hooker case
had thus far probably been in excess
of the powers of the joint session. The
final decision was that the case of
Editor Erwin Wardman and his asso-
ciates on the Press must begin all over
again under at least a new form Of
subpoena. Mi. Wardman was not call
ed to the stand, tonight.
Interest centered in the report that
the legislative leaders would attempt
the punishment of Editor Wardmar
for his refusal to answer questions re-
lating to his expressed belief that i'm
proper influences were at work in be-
half of Justice Hooker No such at
tempt was made. for the very jurisdic-
ton of the session was challenged at
the outset by Managing Editor Ham
messy of the Press in a letter of re-
fusal to obey the subpoena, and the
whole matter went over for at least
another day, after a discussion in
which the lawyers expressed remark
ably diverse opinions as to the legal
aspect Of the extraordinary situation.

RUSSlA'S POSITION.
intimates That Japan's Terms Must
Be Mild to Be Accepted.

St. Petersburg, July 17.-1.27 P. NJ
The Novre Nremya, today, prints the
following statement Of Russia's posi-
ton which may be inspired:
Russia cannot consent only to such
n peace as will not effect the dignity
or vital interests of the empire. To act
otherwise would be fatal to Russia
and would threaten all Europe. Eu-
rope no longer believes in Japan's as
surances that she will not restrict Eu-
ropean interests in the Far East. Even
in England and America the voices of
moral instigatorS can be heard in ia
vor of the indirect Interference OF the
powers to moderate Japan's demands.
Our plenipotentiaries must remember
that they must defend the interests not
only of Russia, but also of the other
Caucasian powers and they will find
moral support in Berlin, Paris, Wash
ington and perhaps even in London.
Our army in the field is much strong
er than It was Il months ago.
1.-THE Hamburger Nachristen pro-
poses that Europe intimate to Japan
that extreme demands will be resisted
by Europe in general. especially Ger
mary. This is n valuable statement. We
must ascertain the acceptable maxi
mum of our concessions to Japan from
the European point of view and act ac-
COrdingly."
