Ask These Questions
- III NJ - Iournal


On the two hundredth anniversary of
the birth Of Benjamin Franklin, who was
a great printer, a. well as a great phioso-
pher aud diplomatist, State Senator Raines,
one of the leaders Of the Republican party
in New York. took occasion to say: Il
almost wish the art Of printing had never
been invented
The same VISA has been expressed by
every rascal who has lived within the
sphere Of an Independent press since the
art Of printing was invented. There has
never been anybody who was doing wrong,
who was expressing others, who was mis-
using trust funds, who was manipulating
the markets. who was corrupting Legisla-
tunes, who was getting rich by graft in
politics n In business, and who was seek
in wealth or power, or both, By ways that
are dark aad tricks that are vain, who did
No, hate and fear the influence of types
The newspapers are guilty Of a good
many otfeBs,s against truth, good taste
and good morals. Bu; when we are most
provoked by ihem let u, stop for a mo-
mrnt and consider these questions.
What kind Of world would this be
withou, the newspapers
Would good government be possible in
the United States without the newspapers
How would you Ike to live in the city
1t New York If the art Of printing were
abolished

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March s, 1906
Last bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance
to cross continent to 10. warm wave to 9,
cool ware 10 II. Next disturbance will
reach Pacific coast about II. cross west Of
Rockies by close of 10, great Central Valleys
IA to I6, Eastern States II. Warm wave viii
cross west OF Rockies about II, great Central
Valleys IA, Eastern States l6. Cool wave
will cross west Of Rockies about Is, great Cen
tral Valleys IL, Eastern States l9.
This disturbance will develop more than
usual intensities; ali weather features will be
more prominent than usual. Temperatures
will reach the top for this month as this dis
turbance approaches. Rainfall will Increase
aud will be greater for next two weeks than
for past two.
This warm wave viii cause general thaw
farther north than is usual and will promise
an early spring but the month will close cold
and the alternating freezes and tha~s will not
be good for winter wheat. We are approach
ing aseasonofunusually variable crop weather.
so radical that corn, wheat, potatoes, fax.
grass and cotton will depend on the nature of
the soil 70 greater extent than for years past.
Some kinds OF soil will not pay for the seed
and / again advise farmers not to sell good
corn for less than so cents.
The success of crops this year will depend
so largely on the lay of the land aud the quail
ity of the soil that | cannot give good advice
in general letter except TO say that good
crops will be produced where the soil fits the
crop weather; that the corn crop viii be one
fourth short Of last year and that wheat viii
not come up to the average. Potatoes will
not make more than half a crop.
Ny forecasts for January were fair for most
parts of the country west of the Mississippi
but as a whole were not good east of that river
The error was clerical aud not the fault Of the
method. For February my forecasts proved
TO be good enough for any purpose. They
were abou, so per cent good according to the
Clayton rules which are so strict that so per
cent. is practically perfect.
The third scientist of mole has acknowledged
the merit of my work and hope soon that
these higher authorities will publicly indorse

Fortune Spent in Liquor.
From Pearson,s Magazine.

According to figures furnished by the gov
eminent Bureau of Statistics, there are con
sumed in the United States in one year about
40, 600, 900 barrels of beer, 9S, 600, 900 gallons
of proof spirits, and 80, 100000 gallons Of
wine. These drinkables, sold at retail, take
out of the pockets of consumers in single
twelvemonth the sum of 81 ,454, lis, 1858. 1t
is q good deal of money, aud one is tempted
TO consider what it could accomplish if it we're
put TO really useful purposes, instead of being
practically thrown away.
1t would provide 5O0,0 families, or q
500, 900 people-more than the entire popu-
lation of the States of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Maine, North Dakota and
Montana-wiIh comfortable homes, clothing
and provisions for II whole months To each
family it would give $3.50 for provisions, $50
for clothing, $50 for shoes, $40 for newspa
pers, magazines ard books, $50 for church
and charitable purposes, and would build for
each family house costing 81, 500, with $3.50
to furnish Titus bestowing upon each Que
of the 500, 900 families 81, $50, aad leaving
balance of 1894, lis, 900 TO erect 52.S18

She Sent All The News.

Knowing the aversion of her husband
to letter writing the wife of a Chicagoan
thus admonished him on his departure on
a recent eastern trip
Now, John, as neither noy the child
ren can accompany you, you must be eyes
and ears for us, and drop us an occasional
postal card, telling us anything of interest
you may see and hear. Don forget, will
you?
As husbands, do, says the Chicago
Tribune, the husband promised, and took
his departure. The next morning his wife
received postal card containing the fol
lowing message: Dear Wife: reached
Pittsburg all right. Yours aft. -
Though disappointed, she excused the
brevity of the communication on the ground
that her husband was doubtless pressed for
time Two days later, however, another
card arrived, bearing the startling an
nouncement: Here | am in New York.
Yours ever.
Still later another: II am indeed in
New York. Yours
The wife swallowed her disappointment,
and, being good at retaliation, seized her
pen and wrote: Dear husband, the chill
dren and l are in Chicago. Yours
\ few days later she wrote again: "We
are still in Chicago. -
In her next letter she grew little more
enthusiastic She wrote
Dear Husband Here we are in
Chicago. repeat it, sir We are in
Chicago.
?. S.-We are, indeed.
In due time John reached home, and
fearing perhaps that his poor wife was af-
fiicted with some sort of dementia, FASTENED
to ask the meaning of her strange mes
sages. For answer she slipped into his
hand his own three postal cards.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander. she said
1t is to be hoped that John profted by
the lesson.

Her Voice at Her Funeral.

The voice of young woman singing at her
own funeral was the novel experience of
mourning relatives and friends at the obse-
quies of Miss Minnie Nelson, I'LL Kenmore
avenue, Chicago, February 10.
The voice, beautiful soprano, was repro
duced from photograph, into the receiver
of which Miss Nelson had sung short time
before her death the old hymn, Nearer, My
God, to Thee" In addition, a sacred song
and a plaintive ballad were heard, the original
