Editor Who Published a Social Notice
as II Was Written.

YOu have never heard of John Lii.
He is meek and lowly country editor
at Macksville, Kan. Last week he
wrote up "A wedding in the community
for his paper. 1.-The Macksville Enter
prise" He did his best but the brides
father was dissatisfied because John
did not spread it on. The father OF the
bride came to the office of The Enter
prise and said that John Lii did not
know now to write up wedding. The
father brought in 2 notice which he
said would be satisfactory. He sald.
however, he wished it to run Just as it.
was written" Every editor in this
country has these requests and COM
plies with them by politely correcting
the errors of grammar and spelling and
construction and bad taste until the
article handed i'm is fairly presentable.
But John Llil--whO should have Car
negie hero medal-let the article left
by the brides father run Just as 1T
was written" and here is the way 1t
appeared:

Newspaper men al over the country
are with John Lii. If he is damaged
by the angry relatives of the happy
pair it should cost him nothing for re-
pairs. The profession should stand by
him. Every editor in this broad land
has promised himself that he would do
what John Lii has done. and every cdi-
tor has been afraid to do it when the
chance came. Oyama may be great in his
line. but while the editors of America

1t is not strange that little Nevada
objects to the census way Of estimating
yearly increase in population by the
percentage of average increase in each
pear of the last decade. AS Nevada
dropped from $1,000 in $50 to 1900 in
1900 Census Director North, puts its
present population at 33,S25. This Is
unpleasant for Neva5ans. as 1t as
sumes their state is on its way to de-
struction in point Of population, and
they insist stoutly that the contrary is
fact. They claim that irrigation is
making the desert to bloom and is at
tracing immigration. while recent gold
discoveries have brought several thou
sand new miners into the state. This
may all be true. but it is hard to make
people generally believe that the near
future will find more than enough peo-
pie left in Nevada to hold the offices.

The utter idiocy Of anarchy was again
demonstrated in that attempt to kill
King Alfonso in Paris. What in the
world would have been gained by the

as his death would have involved that

and popular ruler? OF course, suc3

After the children Of Israel had been

the wilderness they began TO crave
meat They cried unto Moses: "Give
us flesh to eat! Give us fesh? What
happened? The Bible says: There
went forth a wind from the Lord and
brought quails from the sea and let
them fall by the camp . as it were
two cubits high upon the face Of the
EARTH" This does not mean, as Mr..
Hastings declares, that the Lord by
an east wind piled up dead quails
about the Israelite camp two cubits
high. But 1t does mean that the east
wind blew the qualls, against their
will, straight toward the Israelites.
The wind was so powerful that the
birds, heavy Of body and short Of
wing, had to fly low on account Of the
tornado And as they few low the
men killed them. God answered the
prayer of Moses. He answered 1t in
