MISTAKE OF A COUNTRY EDITOR

Concordia, Kan, Gazette.
1t is hard for us country editors to
get the hang of city ways. We slept In
a room at the Copeland In Topeka with
4 short grass editor man and In the
morning we noticed him walking
around the room in a brand new night
shirt, which we presumed was the first
one he ever owned and was anxious
that we should appreciate it In all its
glory. when we asked him:
'BIll. why don't you dress?"
He said: II am waiting for my
clothes to cool off"
Waiting for your clothes to cool
OFF," said we.
Yep" said Bill II put my clothes
on that ere thing last night and this
morning IL seems TO be red hot
He had put his shirt and breeches on
the steam radiator ard had TO hang
them out of the window to cool them
sufficiently TO crawl into them.

AMBASSADORS EQUALITY.

Congressman D. J. Foster, who Is n
member of the House committee on for
eign affairs, has introduced bill to carry
out the spirit of American equality among
our representatives abroad by abolishna
the rank, title and grade of minister and
minister resident from the diplomatic
service. Congressman Fosters Idea Is
that all of our diplomatic residents abroad
should be known as ambassadors mas
much as they all perform precisely the
same functions.
1t will be noted that this idea is in har-
mony with the principle that Americans
are born and remain equal well as with
the theory Of our diplomatic negotiations
relating to the equality of all sovereign
nations the project is a worthy one,
and it ought to commend itself to our
national lawmakers.

of Vermont and who for a time was en-
the staff Of the Free Press, became IA

known to the present reading public CT
the three through his management or
Harper publications into which he has
injected new life and his ownership Of
the North American Review, as well rs
his editorship of Harper's Weekly, which
he is making one of the most influential
publications in the country,
Col. William l.. Brown, who has Just
died, was less known to our reading pub

MUST WE EAT COLORLESS BUTTER

AS a result of the rapid legislation
which is being enacted in State and ma
ton in these days it is a difficult matter
for the public and for the Individual to
say just when the law is being violated.
Now the good people, who have been ac
customed 20 inject the juice of carrot
into butter for the purpose Of tickling
the eye as a sweet flavor tickles the
palate, have probably not dreamed that
there could be any objection to this
procedure, by the health authorities.
1t transplres. however, that DR.. Wiley,
chief chemist of ~ department of
agriculture In Washington has made 4
statement to the effect that as he reads
the pure food law which goes into effect
the first OF next month 1t will be I'M
lawful after that date to use any color
ing matter whatever in either butter or
cheese. At the present time there is
probably not cheese factory or creamery
in the country, of which there are a num-
Der of thousands. that sends out uncolored
dairy products during the dry-foddcr
season.
The enforcement of this interpreta ton
of the regulation may serve to bring about
a remarkable state of affairs, even II it
does not neutralize the anti-oleomagarlne
law. 1t will be recalled that a law was
passed by Congress providing that oleo
products colored to initiate butter should
pay a tax OF ten cents pound. the OBJ
ject being to render the manufacture OF
spurious dairy products Improbable and
thus protect the darymen. II now color
less butter should be made the rule In
the winter season, 1t may become
possible to manufacture oleomargarine
in such a way as to cause 1t to resemble
"hay butter" and sell for such. In this
event 1t may be necessary to devise some
new method of taxing oleo out of com.
petition with genuine butter or som,
other way OF accomplishing the same
purpose.
1t will be interesting to note in this
connection that the department of agricul
ture will also enforce another regula
ton formulated by Congress, which may
tend to bring about a small revolution
1t has been customary for n century ol
30 on the part of butchers and farmer.
to use saltpetre In tho preparation o

that saltpetre is in itself INJURIOUS to health
and as a consequence meat packers ant
butchers and others whose products en-
ter into interstate commerce will not b.

After the war the News made a new
departure In American Journalism. and
came out as q one-ccnt newspaper, tho
first in the country. As result of this
move and It's able direction It's circulation
grew enormously and it soon came to
have half a million readers About
twenty years ago Colonel Brown became
prominent in politics, having been elected
to the New York Senate, and through his
newspaper work and his editorial service
he took conspicuous part in democratic
politics Of the Empire state.
Following the death of Publisher Wood,
Frank Munsey, the magazine man, Sc
cured n large interest in tho News. Tho
News as an evening paper had managed
to make a profit of something like 100000
a year but after Munsey got control 1t
went to pieces in a hurry Munscy had
an idea that he knew how to run n news
paper, though he had failed once with
The Continent. Colonel Brown was quite
sure that Munsey knew nothing about the
business. SO they warred and warred
Munsey made changes that were soon
evidenced by great falling off in cash
receipts. Then Munsey made it a morn
ing newspaper.
After a short experience In the morn

ture. SO he went back to the afternoon
hour of publication. This didn't revive
the falling spirit of tho paper. After that
Munsey tried compromise between

Colonel Brown owned 40 shares of the
paper and ne old not want it sold at public
auction. He appeared In court and asked
for an injunction restraining the sale as
we'll for a receivcrship. The court de-
ciied In favor of Colonel Brown and APP
pointed him receiver for the paper. Since
that time the Daily News had many VI
