OF knocking Lewis down. he has never
shown that he could permanently

AN effort is being made by the ma

amendment to the railway rate bill per,
uniting newspaper publishers to receive
compensation from the railroad com
panies for advertising in the form OF
transportation. We do not believe such
a movement would be endorsed IN this
section of the country. Trade advertise

desirable and are usually eliminated by
the permanently established weeklies
as the tendency is to place every depart
