REFERRING to the idea that pre-
walls among tnat advertising doesn'
pas, except when the "write-ups'' ar
free, the Laddonia, (Mo.) Herald edi
torially says:
Some people don't seem to be at
all backward about ask 'ng an edi-
tor to write something that is
virtually an advertisement gratis.
Did yeu ever stop to think that
an editors columns is bis stock.
What would the groceryman, dry
goodsman, butcher, baker or far
mer think, should the editor go
and ask for so much Of their wares
and products? A newspaper does
more free work for the town and
Community than all other busi-
nesses.

IT seems according to letters receiv-
ed from China that the Jelly-tish EN-
pire is turning once more to the Unit
ed States as being the only friend 1t
has left on the map. This is largely
due to the action OF President Roose-
welt In remittine part Of the Boxer
indemnity, the blood money that was
exacted from China at tbe time Of
the Boxer Rebellion for killing for.
eigners and putting the allied powers
10 the expense Of sending an expedi-
tion 70 Pekin to keep order In the
country.
The indemnity exacted was far be-
yond the actual outlay Of the powers,
and after China bad paid several ir-
stallme It's and time had softened the
resentment of this country as time
does in almost all cases, the President
announced that he was willing to re-
NIT about $40, 900, 900 OF the indemnity
still due the United States. This was
last spring The announcement was
made Just at the time that the Ohm
ese Minister, Sir Ohentung Liam
Cbepp, started back home. Since
then the boycott against American
goods 10 China has quietly died out
and now that China Is In need OF .
friend, she is turning to the Unitec
states The trouble that China hndi
herself in now is principally will
