September Events.

events a monthly illustrated mag
azine published at Washington, D. c.,
will make it's initial appearance early
in September This magazine will deal
particularly with those national affairs
of which the people have but slight
knowledge, and should be read by ev-
cry good American. The first number
will contain an article on The Nation
al Banking Act which clearly shows
that this legislation is responsible for
the financial troubles of the people to-
day; the article on the Personal Rem
iniscences of the U. S. supreme court
is one of the most interesting articles
ever published concerning that august
body.
The opening chapters of the article
on "Our Government. Its Origin and
Development" should possess unusual
interest for every reader; the article
on the Waterpowers of the South pre-
sents a new phase of the forestry
question. and shows the intimate rela-
lions existing between the forests and
the people; no community is without
some direct interest in this great prob
lem. The fiction is bright and inter-
esting, and all in all it is a magazine
that should be in every home. Send

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
New Field Situated in Pike County
Southwestern Arkansas.

New York, Aug. 12.-Unless all signs
and expectations fail Americans may
soon be wearing diamonds found on
American, not English soil. This state
ment is made op the authority of DR..
George T. Kunz, probably the foremost
authority on diamonds in the country.
He has just returned from careful
two months investigation of the new
field, which is situated in Pike county,
in southwestern Arkansas.
Only when it is stated that there is
no other locality in the United States
where diamonds are found "in place"
can the great significance and import
ance of this discovery be understood.
In short, the new region is the first
real American diamond field to be dis
covered. It's 500 acres are owned by
Arkansas men.

there was nothing suspicious about the
discovery. A native, who could not

LOCAL PAPERS AT $500 PER YEAR.

! Advancing costs have struck the
| newspaper offices of the small towns
| until the question of increased sub
| scription prices has become the star
number on editorial convention pro-
grams. Print paper has gone up q
per cent within the last two years
and fully Is per cent within the past
ten years. Printers who used to work
twelve hours per day for SO per week
| now get $25 in the cities for seven
hour days, and the boys and old mer
left at home in the small offices mus,
have $12 per week. Girls who once
set type for 81 and SIS per week, must
have SO now, and are almost impossible
to find at that. The printing of a
newspaper is like a manufacturing
business in the advance of costs, but
it's selling price is as fixed as the
price Of postage stamps.
However, if publishers were as
acute and as brave as manufacturers
they would go to a 50 subscription
price for their weeklies and semi
weeklies and then give their subscribe
ers two dollars worth of service. In
towns where there are too many pa
pers they would combine. Local news
is the easiest thing to sell of anything
that is printed. If one puts enough
of it into a newspaper the subscrip-
ton price can be placed at 50 per
year without injury to circulation.
A local paper good enough to Cir
culate at 50 subscription price would
be an asset to a town fully as valu-
able as any Carnegie library. Com
mercial clubs could afford to bonus it,
but of course they would not. Public
spirited citizens would benefit their
communities by endowing it, but they
never would. A tax aid would be
money as well spent as tho invested
in interurbans, but, of course, none
would be voted. The 50 subscription
price, however, would make such a
paper self sustaining, and every citi-
zen would be forced to patronize it be-
cause of the merit in the newspaper
itself People turnout the country
would take it from choice and bust
ness men would patronize it at first
class advertising rates, because people
everywhere were buying it for the pur-
pose of reading 1t. The local publisher
who will have the nerve to come to
81 price and give 50 worth of service
will profit according to his wisdom.

WANTS TO END TROUBLE.
President Would Put Interstate Car
riers Under Federal Control Only.

Washington, Aug. 13.-President
Roosevelt proposes to complete his
railroad and corporations program dur
ing the coming session of congress and
to end the agitation. In conferences he
has had with high officials of his adj
ministration during the last few days,
the president has explained the inten-
ton in no uncertain language and to
carry 1T out he needs the co-operat ton
of railroad and corporation interests.
The former now are consulting among
themselves with a view to reaching an
with the chief executive.
Prosecution of the paper, turpentlne,
tobacco. powder, oil, and other trusts,
proposal in two of the suits that re-
ceivers be appointed to dissolve combi-
nations, and the enormous fine levied
against the Standard have convinced
the corporations that not only must
they obey the existing law, but they
may expect legislation curtailing the
unlimited powers they heretofore have
enjoyed.
The spectacle is presented today. OF
railroads which vigorously fought the
rate policy of the president flying to
him for protection against the states.
and were it not for the heavy punish
ment inflicted by Judge Lands of the
federal service upon the Standard, this
would be the course pursued by cor
porations The matter is pressing
one for the Interests" because the pres
ident has begun the annual message he
is required to submit to congress when
it shall convene in December. His cor
poration and railroad policies We're dis
cussed by him with Attorney General
Bonaparte during their conferences
last week in oyster Bay, and also will
be considered with Secretary Taft
when he reaches Sycamore HILL
One reason why the president and
the railroads as we'll are anxious to
end the railroads agitation is found In
the association of jurisdiction over car
riers by the states. The interstate
commerce commission has decreed that
the interstate rate shall not exceed
the sum of locals, but there is such
bewildering mass of rates not only for
passengers, but for freight that rail-
roads, to say nothing of the federal
government. hardly know when they
are under state or federal law. 1t is a.
condition of chaos that the president
anticipated. He proposes to restore
order as far as he can by making in
terstate railroads subject only to feder
al control thru the method of ma
tional license law.

The German Press.

"The German Press" isl a very in
teresting article by Austin Harrison
in the August End number of the North
American Review, showing the divers
and intricate ways by which the i'm
perial government controls the press.
To quote:
For such as are not acquainted
with the status of the various German
newspapers few explanatory words
may be useful The German press
financial; all the rest being practically
but pale refiexes Of the leading organs
and without much influence or interest
to the foreign political public. There
is no Times in Germany, and no Book
Club. But the semi-otficial press is
quite as we'll Informed on foreign af-
fairs as any English newspaper. and
tho not SO enterprsing, is quite as in
structive and quite as accurate.
Most important of these is the
North German Gazette which is the
official organ of the foreign office and
speaks with papal knowledge and in
fallibility Its functions are mainly
negative. and its most obvious purpose
is to issue semi-official denials, to
correct some German organ or other
which has offended, and to give the
tone generally to press and people.
This it does in a sort of running COM
mentary on events, and occasionally,
but only occasionally, by means of a
small leader which has the official i'm

Origin Of Sedan Chair.

Perhaps some expert in the Siamese
language will tell US what is its word
for sedan chair" When the king of
Siams ministers, protesting against
his majesty's favor towards motoring,
suggested recently that "the royal Sc
dan chair was always at his disposal
1t is improbable that they used a word
of the French town.
For it is from the scene of Napoleon

takes it's name. and perhaps remote
posterity will suppose that it had some
connection with that event. But Sc

THE COST or PRESENT AFFLuEncE.

on so land with nothing but a team
and a pair of overalls, should take a
trip to some new state where the

even when $40 land goes to 500 earns
about all that is acquired. A full

related over and over again at old
settlers picnics, can yet be had by
Visiting new country. A two weeks
vacation at roughing it along the
banks of some pretty stream will
hardly paint the picture.

STATE VS.. LOCAL FAIR.
Davenport Times.)

The fairs that come close to the
people of a county are the ones that
are held at home-not the big ones
at some distant city. AT the local fair
everyone takes his best products to
compete for the prizes. Everyone is
interested, for the exhibitors are
known. They are not specialists in
some branch of agriculture or stock
raising-these exhibitors are all-round
farmers as rule and what they ex-
hibit shows what may be done by the
average. energetic and progressive
farmer The big fair is the place where
the exhibitors are specialists. Their
exhibits teach lessons of course. but
there is not that intimate and personal
interest associated with them that per-
meates the county fair Then, too, not
everyone may go to the big fair: only
a comparatively few attend. The in
spiration to be gained from the ex-
hibits reaches relatively few people in
any particular community. But the
influence of the county fair is felt
thruout the whole country for thou
sands of people. who could or would
not go farther away, attend the county
fair for at least one day. If any fair
needs encouragement and support be-
cause of what it does for the people, it
is the home fair.

SELF MADE OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Old age pensions would relieve
| world of suffering, but in very large
measure would prove so paternalistlc
3 as to discourage thrift. There are
ways now by which old age pensions
can be provided, each man for NM
Self, and there could be many other
avenues opened which would invite
men to travel in the same direction.
Once having undertaken the journey
/, the net result is a far better cltlzen
I than any pension system would pro-
duce. altho old age pensions are not
ITO be wholly condemned.
For instance, the man who gets ~
ner day manages to raise family ana
nav his bills. If his wages should go
1 to SO per day, at least SO cents per day

m seven years time it would buy
Il home and stop rent. In another seven
years 1t would pay for second house
and lot which would proceed to pay
thh owner a pension of SO per month
B This pension and the SO cents per day

other house and lot which would pro-
coed to pay another pension Of $40
per month. "A wage worker who began
to invest SO cents per day at the age
Of 30 years would now have his own

and insurance out of his wages.
Workmen whose wages had reached

yvorkmen whose wage is only $3.50 per
