WILL DAVIS TRIED FOR WHAT

The trial of VIII J. Davis, on the
charge OF direct responsibility for the
Iroquois theatre holocaust has begun
at Danville, Ill. whittier it was taken
on change Of venue from Cook county
III.
The newspaper which is hottest on
the trail of Mr.. Davis for a reason that
antedates the Iroquois disaster by
years, would have its readers believe
that Mr.. Davis is on trial for the muir
der Of 600 persons" The headlines
could be made no larger nor the accu-
sation stronger If the gentle. mild-man-
nered gray haired man who has tried
TO make the world brighter, merrier
and happier, had with malice afore-
thought set ABOUT shutting out the
lives Of coo innocent persons.
The jury and the Judge, If they take
the worlds view Of it. viii not hold
WIN Davis responsible for that terrl-
BILE calamity. He has shared suffering
and sorrow with those who lost friends
and kindred on that fatal day He
could not help it no more than the
mayor OF Galveston could have helped
the tidal wave or the mayor of Johns
town could have held the dam together.
Those to whom the Iroquois FIRE came
closest do not look for satisfaction, or
consolation in the punishment Of the
nominal director of that amusement
place Mr. Davis is not being pursued
by those who lost friends and relatives
ON that day. Nobody directly interest
ed is looking fer his life or his liberty
to ameliorate pang. He simply is
being made the subject Of bizarre
newspaper play which had its origin
in his assertion rather too petulant
assertion, perhaps-of his self respect.
If common sense has fair show.
VIII Davis will come out of the Dan
vile trial, unscathed and unrebuked.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, March 4.-WHEAT- her

today which dragged prices down a

TALK IS DEAR IN CONGRESS.


1t is estimated that congress spent
during its recent session in the neigh
borhood of 81 1000 600 600. and that in
passing and killing bills and appr0-
priations nearly 100000 words were
used
With very little mental effort it will
be seen that every time a congressman
opens his mouth it costs the country
just 500 For instance when Con
gresham Watson of Indiana rises and
says My constituents in Indiana are
voting for prosperity. for Betsey and
the baby" it costs the people of the
United States $1,000.
You could build a house with that
amount but the people seem to think
It is worth the money. At any rate
they are sending Watson back with
remarkable regularity
Senator Beveridge is probably the
most expensive man that Indiana has
In congress. in this respect When in
his speeches he is side tracked onto.
The midnight skies are frightened by
the lurid glare Of hundred hungry
furnaces. Thousands Of honest toilers
wend their weary happy way daily
to and from their homes, to and from
their work and the dinner pail is full
Never under the azure skies Of heaven.
never in the history Of man, has there
existed country so marvelously
wealthy as these United States and
yet you might just as well make
UP your mind that you are going to
have to pay $4,000 for what you have
heard and about half a million more
for what appears in the congressional
record.

SIXTEEN PAGES.
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES ca

point with reasonable amount of
pride to Saturdays issue. 1t consisted
OF sixteen pages and contained, be-
sides the news and features, 111T14
inches of advertising. No special ef-
fort was made To secure this adver-
tising. 1t came In the regular order of
business and was accepted at the err
rent space rates which are based on the
standard OF an actual, guaranteed,
sworn 10 circulation OF over 5000. The
basis OF advertising rates Is circuIa-
tiOn and the standard is rfeidly Observ-
ed in the Office of THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES and by its local and foreign
agents.
The enlargement of the paper for sat
nrday was not premeditated. III was
not until Friday afternoon that tie
management was confronted with the
necessity. 1t was seen then that bust
ness would have 10 be refused or news
sacrificed TO keep the paper within the
bounds of eight, or even twelve, pages.
The production of the sixteen page
paper called for no extra effort on the
part of the stan extra tax on the
mechanical equipment.
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES goes
supplied with the men and machinery
for such emergencies.
All the work, editorial, clerical and
mechanical ON that sixteen page paper
WAS done on Saturday. The first, or
"bulIdog" edition went to press nt the
usual hour and reached its readers in
the outlying towns and country places
Mt the usual time. The second, or reg
ular edition was the streets before
3 O'Clock.
The paper spoke for itself We IRE
satisfied with the way it was received
by those who buy it to read and those
who favor 1t with their advertising pat
rOnage.
The most gratifying part of the
achievement within the office is, OF
course, the public Appreciation, but
next and closest 10 that is the salts
faction that we have the means at hand
10 do extraordinary things with such
little effOrt.
1t will not be Iong-perhaps "a mere
matter Of Weeks-when the getting out
OF sixteen page paper will be mere
incident.
