Won X Prize.

Friend Fenner LaughinghouSe. treasurer of St. Francis county, local representative of the New York Life Insurance Company, d hard and faith ful worker, a jolly companion and an esteemed and popular citizen is off on a lark, and he wouldn't tell us about it. But editors have way somehow of finding out things, and by putting this and that and these things tOgeth- CT we have the whole story. 1t seems that the company which Mr. Fenner | represents expects its agents to do a certain amount Of business. and talk | ing everything into consideration it allotS so much work to each represen- tative, and then it offers prize to every one Of them who writes cer- tain per centage over and above the allotment
 This year the New York Life In- surance Company made the usual al- lOtment, and promised d free trip and all expenses to all agents who made certain per centage over that amount. NIT. Laughinghouse is one of the forty three out of that vast army of agents who secured a prize in the way of Il weeks pleasure and entertainment in the great metropolis of the United States.
 MT. Laughinghouse will return Monday, and should receive the con gratulations of his many friends upon his excellent record. We eongratu- late him i'll advance, and hope he will always win.

Lest you waste some more of your valuable time, when you ought to be carrying on active operations against the "ehemy, ill resoluting against me, allow me te say to you now that l am not going To be .bluffed' from doing my duty by any of the buldoZing tactics being adopted by some of the guard. l know am trying to do what l conceive to be my duty, while II K your opinion that my action is spite work.

 Personally, l am friendly to the membership of the guard, but as all organization it opposes me because 1 am trying to keep in force the law and keep it's fingers out of the state treasury, as the bill for S25.0 was not legally passed. and this opposition k To be expected.
 As you stalk forth on days of pub lie celebration to martial music, flash your stainless sword at an imaginary Toe, and exchange smiles with maidens, blushlng behind their fans, you look well, but the taxpayer, who looks at the procession, fails to see where he comes in for any benefit. l have been deluged with letters from these men, who pay the fiddler while you dance, commenting my action in this matter, and some from your own section would be interesting reading to you.

lican candidate, withdrew in favor of
ex-Mayor Hewitt, the Democratic can
didate, as a patriotic duty, and even
then, George was not defeated by a
very large majority. When George ran
again for Mayor of New York about
| ten years later, he was opposed by an
almost united press, and had he not
died during the campaign, there is ev-
cry reason to believe that he would
have been triumphantly elected.
A just consideration rof these and
other cases will lead to the conclusion,
not that the press is without influence.
Indeed rightly considered they show
that the press has its just infuence-its
strong and preponderating influence
within it's sphere But these apparent
contradictions of their influence simply
emphasize the fact that there are other
means of reaching and influencing the
public than through the press. They
prove that the human voice in its vari-
Gus grades of oratory and hortatory Of.
flee, has not lost its place or its power,
as we are sometimes led to suppose.
A close examination of all of these
campaigns, except perhaps that of Will
liam r. Hearst, will show that they
We're campaigns of oratory and public
meeting. In the case of Carter Harri-
son, he was a man of handsome pres
ence and virile and robust physique.
He had voice that was musical and
rich, and style of public address that
could adapt itself to every surrounding.
His physique enabled him to make
many addresses each day and his pres
ence and his addresses were an instant
and a complete refutation of much that
was said against in the newspapers.
The result was that during the cam
paign he addressed fully as many voters
as the newspapers reached, and he had
that advantage of them that the per-
sonal presence has over the written or
printed word sent out at a venture,
7 In Mayor Pingree's campaigns and in
those of Tom Johnson and Henry
George there was much of the same
conditions and so also was there in
Mayor Schmitz' campaign. In the case
of Hearst, his papers reach an element
of voters which is very large, while the
feeling of protest against things as they
are, which seemed through the insur-
ance and other Investigations to be-
pretty bad, doubtless brought him
many votes.

If the story told by Mcneil the sailor
from the British ship Brenda is true,
that he jumped overheard beyond the
entrance to the channel, in the presence
of the captain of the vessel, what shall
be thought of the captain who made no
effort to rescue him from what was
clearly imminent danger of death? 1t
would look as though the captain had
in this given evidence of an indiffer-
ence and callousness that adds extreme
probability to all the stories told of his
hardness and cruelty as a master. What
is one to think of master who seeing
man jump overheard in the open
sea, in a shark infested region and
leaves him to his fate. What would
have been the captains moral res
possibility if the French sailors had
not happened along in time to have
rescued the man?

There are two old cannon at the
Post Office corner which, in their time
have done yeoman service in prevent
ing fiery untamed hacks from running
over pedestrians. A new concrete
sidewalk is now being placed there
and the old guns will be no longer re-
quired. They are simply worth in
trinsically so much for old iron, but
they passes a larger value for those
who care to remember the old times.
Once the guns were mounted on the
old fort which stood at the foot Of
what is now Fort street. Would it
not be as well to preserve these relics
of the past and mount them on the new

from the quarantine regulations en-
