Forty Years Of Entertainment and Good
Fellowship.

A book which is unique both in sub
ject matter and in interest, and which,
as matter OF course, could have been
written by no one but it's author, is
George p. Rowell's Forty Years an Ad-
vertising Agent" recently published by
The Printers Ink Publishing company,
New York The history Of newspaper
advertising in the United States as a
systematic business proposition is pretty
nearly coincident with Mr.. Roweu's
years of business activity, beginning with
the time when in 1865. at the age OF q,
he and Horace Dodd started an adver-
tising agency in Boston. There had been
advertisers and advertising agents long
before this time, but Mr. Rowell was a
pioneer in the work OF giving to the
writing and placing OF advertisements a
definite form and substance OF its own.
Mr. Rowelrs book is distinctly and con-
stantly reminiscent in form. Ho has
lived his life with eyes and ears open
and evidently has nad a very good time
doing IL. He has seen men as they are and
he has no scruples about reproducing the
exact impressions which they made on
him, but his good nature is so mucn a

great that nobody suffers in character or
repute by the telling. Mr.. Rowell's rec
objections OF newspapers begin with the
caledonian Of st. Johnsbury and the
North Star OF Danvi1le which were the
local papers OF his boynood in Caledonia
county and as they follow down through
the years they embrace all the news
papers and magazines with which the
present generation is familiar, and many
others Of prominence in their day which
are now dead or in obscurity. 1t is as
good as a play to read Mr.. RowelTs
running comment on the long line Of
patent medicines which have been ad-
vertised into prominence, had their day.
and then have given place to others no
better. and. We hope no worse. Equally
racy and entertaining are MS notes at

gives the book a local flavor to find
James Fisk, jr., with his 'resplendent
warehouse on Wheels and later in his
commodore's uniform, included in the list
in a familiar way.
Mr.. Rowell's book may not come into
prominence for general reading. but it
will always possess an intimate interest

brings them into intimate contact VITA

Secretary Of the Navy Bonaparte ad-
voeates an appropriation this year for two
l6,OO0-ton battleships, and in case Con-
gress does not see fit to provide for such
ships he urges the construction of one
19.4OO-ton battleship, which would be
larger and more powerful than the Dread
nought, the 1s,00O-ton battleship which is
being built by England. other recon-
mendations are for two scout cruisers. to

two submarines. cost $500, 900; one gun

cost 100000. The secretary's estimates
for construction aggregate $23, 800. 900. The
chief item is $4,000. 900 for the two bat
tleships recommended. The cost Of the
two proposed scout ships which Secretary
Bonaparte said were not indispensable is
estimated at S4.OOO,OOO Since the sec
retary made his recommendations the
House naval committee has voted in favor
of one battleship, to be the most power

The free distribution Of seeds from
the agricultural department via the post
office department is a form OF petty graft
which might largely be eliminated by
having seeds furnished only on application.
Now each member OF Congress has a
right TO send a certain number OF pack
ages, and he naturally avails himself OF
the privilege. 1t is an easy way for a
congressman to snow a large number
OF constituents that they are remembered
by sending them packages of seeds, and
the result is that people who never owned
a foot OF ground and who never raise
anything but their voices are remembered
with seeds and the seeds are never used.
A total OF 100000 packages are sent
out from Washington each year, and 1t is
estimated that the cost of handling the
packages by the post office department
alone is $25O,O 900 year.

Senator Knox Says Railroad Rate Bill Is
Unconstitutional.

Senator Knox OF Pennsylvania. for
merly attorney general of the United
States made his first set speech in the
Senate Wednesday. when he argued that
the Hepburn railroad rate bill is un-
constitutional. He declared that the bill
permitted an administrative body to
make orders affecting property rights, but
that it gave no right to the property
owners to test the lawfulness OF such
orders in the courts 'in a direct pro-
ceeding," denied the right to challenge
their lawfulness in proceedings to en-
force them. and penalized the property
owner (the railroad) $4,000 a day II ID
sought supposed remedy outside OF the
provisions of the bill He said that the
bill to be constitutional must make
specific provision for court review Of the
orders OF the commission. lie argued that
by Incorporating a provision for notice
and hearing before a court grants an in
junction against a rate set by the COM
mission, the Hepburn bill can be made
effective without danger. as far as con-
Germs this provision. Of being declared
unconstitutional. This is clearly to be the
basis OF the compromise between the
conservative Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis who believe, with Senator Bailey
that the power OF the courts to grant
temporary injunctions may be abridged.

The correspondence between Congress-
man Payne of New York and Congress-
man Mccall OF Massachusetts, is a plain
indication that nothing will be done at
the present session of Congress toward
revising the tariff. Mr.. Mccall believes
the time has come for readjustment Of
the schedules adopted in the enactment OF
the Dingley law nine years ago, but Mr..
Payne is not in favor Of revision at the
present time as he thinks Congress
is not prepared to review the schedules
in that calm judicial frame OF mind so
necessary to the proper preparation OF a
tariff act at a time so near the coming
of the Congressional elections" Mr..
Payne is chairman Of the House ways and
means committee. before which a tariff
bill would come. and his opinion regarding
revision is likely to be authoritative. Tariff
revision win come. sooner or later, and
the work ought to be undertaken while
the House has good working majority
OF Republicans The Democrats have
twice won a national campaign with the
tariff as an issue. II the Republicans de-
lay too long they may again hnd their
power gone.

A family row came near TO ending in a
fatality at the McGurn farm in Lon
donderry Friday. 1t is alleged that Mr.
McGurn was struck with an AK by his
wife, the blow cutting his ear and the
side OF his head and a part Of the blow
falling upon his arm, which was broken.
Two sides OF the story are told. McGurn
claims he quarreled with his step-son
Bennie Thrasher. and that after giving the
ak to Mrs. McGurn, as he was planning
to leave, she struck him with the weapon,
and as he fled from the premises
Thrasher, who had shouted, II win shoot
him." discharged a gun. Mrs. McGurn
and Thrasher claim that McGurn struck
Thrasher with a stove hook, that he
rushed toward Mrs. McGurn with the AK
but that she took IL from him and struck
him with it. They declare that no shot
was fired. The grand juror has been
investigating the case, which will be left
with the states attorney for prosecution

Mitchell issued a signed statement in
which the district presidents Joined with
him. A strike of from 17s,000 to 3S4,500
soft coal miners besides $780, 900 antnra-
cite miners seems inevitable on April l.
The final vote in the conference was on
the motion offered by President Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers to restore
for two years the wage scale Of 1903,
which would have been an increase in
wages Of 5.55 per cent. The operators OF
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio defeated the
proposition, although the operators of
Western Pennsylvania and the miners Of
four states voted for the proposal
Secretary w. B. Wilson of the United
Mine Workers said that there was no
likelihood of anything further being done
toward a settlement and that this
meant suspension Of work. Operators
representing about one-third of the coal
production of Western Pennsylvania
Ohio Indiana and Illinois offered to pay
the advance demanded by the miners and
urged the men to accept the desired pay
ment and to continue work in their mines,
even though other mines should be idle.
The wage scales OF all miners, both
anthracite and bituminous. will expire on
Saturday except those in Tennessee and
Alabama, where the scale viii expire in
September.

states. who are opposed to paying an in
crease in wages, VIII, it is reported, adopt
resolutions asking President Roosevelt TO

Arizona is coming right up TO the front

or relatively, ever has been made before

Arizona would step to first place among

The Mutual Life Insurance company has
begun a suit against its former president,
Richard a. McCurdy, for the recovery Of
$S,STO,OOO. The allegation is that this
amount of the funds OF the insurance
company was improperly diverted by him
in his former official capacity. Judge
O'Sullivan told the grand jury that its
members must decide themselves whether
the contributing Of insurance funds to
political campaign committees is a crimi-
nal offence on the part OF the men in con-
troll of the companies. District Attorney
Jerome took issue with the court, and a
clash followed in which the district attor-
ney declared the courts decision placed
Cornelius N. Bliss and George b. Cortel-
you in the position of receivers OF stolen
goods. He also asked Judge OSullivan
to sit as a magistrate and hear a case
against George w. Perkins, but the court
paid no heed to the protests and argu-
ments Of Mr.. Jerome.
