A CLEANER DAWSON.

Tt is to be hoped that no one will
Judge the people of Dawson by the
appearance of Dawson's streets. Such
a conclusion might deprive as of any
claim to that condition which the phi
losopher says is next to Goodness.
And vet the dirty streets OF the city
are directly chargeable in many in
stances to those who carelessly make
the streets a dumping ground for
ashes. trash and refuse matter. We
ought to take more pride in the APP
pearance of our town than this betok-
ems. A little individual care and fore
thought would work wonders in max
ing a cleaner Dawson.
The News insists that such slOven-
ness be done away with, even If 1t has
to be accomplished by enforcing the
penalty provided by the city ordi-
nance against those who continue to
decorate the streets with garb more
fit for a cabbage patch.
Recently the provisions of this
ordinance were ordered strictly
carried out in the business portion of
the city, and a vast improvement has
resulted. There is no reason why it
should not be just as strictly enforced
in the residence portion of the town,
and The News respectfully appeals to
the city authorities to insist that no
more litter be dumped promiscuously
into the streets in any part of Daw-

TAKING TT TOO SERIOUSLY.

The Johnstown pa Democrat, a
COPY of which has reached THE NEWS
Office, is taking the burning OF the
lone bale of cotton at Fort Gaines too
seriously. 1t characterizes the act OF
our good neighbors in Clay county as
"Dingleyism gone mad" and in the
course of a lengthy and ''frenzied'
editorial on the subject says:
every protectionist in the coun-
try. to be consistent, should rejoice
in the cotton burning frenzy which
has taken possession of the uncon-
scious Dingleyites of the south.
Every bale of the commodity which
goes up in smoke is burnt offer
ing to the god of scarcity; and
this is the god before whose shrine
all the devout taritfites bow down
and worship. For plenty is an
abomination in the eyes of every
devotee of the protection joss. "A
cheap coat makes cheap man,
said Mr.. Harrison. 'Cheapness
is only another name for nastl-
ness, said Mr.. Mckinley"
Our Pennsylvania contemporary
should calm itself. There are millions
of bales left, and the flames won't
spread.

COUNTING.

A preacher at Latrobe, Pa. has
laid down some hard and fast rules
for courtship. He does not approve
of the family deserving the parlOr
when the young man calls, nor does
he permit of dark corners and dim
parlors. The hours for calling should
be from $50 to 1920, and with no adj
ditional half hours to say goodbye.
He does not believe that the young
people should sit close on the sofa, SO
engrossed in their happiness that they
forget the fight of time. "Courtship, "
he says, his as serious proposition
as the responsibilities of marriage. 1t
should not continue longer than seven
or eight months. 1t is the duty of
mothers to ascertain the intentions of
young men"
COurtship, it must be admitted, is
conducted most erratically. In no
other convention of life is there per-
mitted such free indulgen &c OF individ-
nal fancy. A reticence and a mystery
and dim light have been thrown
about it from time immemorial, and
will continue to be despite the fulmi-
nations of this unsentimental and sour
old preacher.

JAPAN'S WHITE ELEPHANT.

After one of the blO0diest and most
herOically defended sieges known in
history General StOssel, to prevent
further and useless destruction of his
valiant but small and exhausted band
of men, has surrendered Port Arthur
to the Japanese. The garrison which
originally consisted of 10000 had lost
Just half of it's force, and of the re-
manning half only 5000 were able for
duty. There were ZOO Russian
wounded and sick the japanese had to
take charge of and care for, and their
capture ofithe fortress, which cost them
$4,000 of their own men, puts white
elephant on their hands.
General Stoessel and his men have
proved again that Russia can well
count in her service some of the BRAY
est and best fighters of the world
They illustrated the blood and bone
and iron of the great race to which
they belong. Even after there was no
hope in resistance StOeSsel and his
men fought like heroes, offering their
lives freely for the cause of their
country In the face of priVatiOn and
death they did not finch as long as
there was the slightest possibility for
relief and the success of their arms,
and history records no defense more
heroic.
The fall of Port Arthur will affect
the war but little one way or the other.

THE country has read with deep in

and the tumbling of securities. There
has, however, been none of the appre-

country's prosperity. The fight is
viewed as a bitter struggle between

WHERE TO ADVERTISE.

Where to advertise so as to obtain
the best results at the lowest cost, is
a question OF considerable Importance
to business men, Experts do not hesl-
tate to pronounce the newspaper SUI
perlor to any other medium, and that
fact is worth knowing only a snort
time ago Mr. Nathaniel Fowler Jr, In
an address, before the New England
Dry Goods Association, discussed that
question, and he said, In part:
II wish to state emphatically and
without qualification, that the news

Using todium for the retail advertiser

WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH?

We notice that the Logan Journal
Is Joining I'm the hue-and-cry against
the Utah Light aud Railway company
This ls because II has drawn It's In
Formation 90 on the subject from the
papers that have been mIsrepresentng
Il from the beginning The Journal
by way Of enlghtening TIA readers,
states that one Of the propositions Of
the company was "the privilege Of
raising its maximum rate Tor electric
hight" Also that "the company want
ca franchise rights over any and all
streets at It's own pleasure" As one
of the good results" which the Jour
nal attributes to the agitation that has
been raised, II says This feature was
modified, land instead of raising the
maximum light rate &c was lowered so
materially as TO effect saving claimed
10 amount Go $4,000 year"
These statements OF the Journal are
merely echoes OF the untruths told
about the matter In certain salt Lake
papers and show the unrcliability Of
the journal that copies thcm Speak
