We desire to say a few words to you on this auspishious occashion concern ing our circulashion. For some time past our circulashion has not been what it ought to be, but we have refrained from saying anything in the hope that 1t would improve. Being as we have not noticed any improvement, so to speak, we have decided to write a burning ed itorial on this subjeckt in the hope that perhaps it will do some good. When we started e Bingville Bugie some 30 years ago We had in the neigh borhood of 100 subscribers, including them who was paid and them who was not, also extra copies of the paper which we printed more than was necessary to go round At the present writing our cir culashion is close to 200. While the in crease of 100 subscribers in 30 years might look like big thing to some peo- pie it does not look that way to us. It seems that in return for the elbow grease and mental anguish which we have expended on the Bugle in that De- riod of time our circulashion ought to be about 250 or 300 souls all told. This circulashion seems to be modest esti- mate of what we ought to have and we have decided to bend our efforts lords that goal, as you might say-we will bend our efforts even if something breaks.
 We have accordingly thought up scheme as we laid awake night after night by which we hope to increase our circulashion until we have all the sub scribers we can handle The success Of this scheme depends largely on the |, spirit with which our present subscrib- CTS enters into 1t which we hope they will do with hot enthusiasm. We make therefore the follering proposishion to lyou-let each of our 200 odd subscribers volunteer to each one agree to get for us new subscriber who has not hereto fore took the Bugle, but rather has bor- ried 1t from his neighbor. This is not asking much for our army of subscribers to do and if they get right to work and do it we will double our circulashion from 200 to 400 subscribers in a short l while without any effort on our part, as you might say.
 l If any one of our subscribers come to us and asked us to do a small favor for them like this we would gladly do it and we nacherly would expect them to do as much for us. Let us be neighborly and help one another The most impor- tant part of this scheme is that each new subscriber shall pay in advance-uness they do this they are worthless to us and we don't want them. We already have enough subscribers who are back on their subscripshions without adding
 our burdens. We trust this scheme on )ur part will meet with your hearty ap- proval and that the Bugle will shortly be able to boast of not only the biggest cir culashioh in this end of the county, hut
 ,f a circulashion almost as big as any
 Yours for the success of this scheme,

Wes Woodruff and Clem Hines went af- ter suckers up Snake Crick tother' night in a boat. They made a big light by wrapping rags around a green sapling and pouring oil on the rags and lighting it and then they stuck this in the forraro end of the boat and Yves he stood up behint the light with a spear to spear the fish while Glenn he poled the boat along slow through the smaller water. The light shows up the bottom of the crick ana blinds the suckers which remain stash- ionary. as you might say. until they are speared.-
 Well, the boys was polling along quiet like when suddently Wes he says, Hold her steady. Clem-heres a. reglar gee wholloper right ahead of the boat-must be a foot long anyhow!" Glenn he stuck his pole into the mud and helt the boat and Yves braced hisself and struck at the fish with all his might missing the fish and losing his balance and falling head first into the water hich was awful cold. To make matters worse Yves up- set the torch which also fell into the crick and went out leaving tbem in total darkness. Glenn was so startled that he pulled out his pole and the boat drifted down stream and when Yves come up stutterin and splutterin he hollered to know where the dognashion the boat was anyhow and Glenn he said, Here she be-" and Wes started to wade tords the sound of the boat in the darkness and waded into a hole over his head and had to swim ashore wet to the skin and madder' n wet hen. The way he cussed Glenn was awful Yves said 1t was Clems fault that he fell in and Glenn said 1t wasn't. One word led to another until Yves called Glenn a liar and Glenn poled the boat ashore and they had a fist fight in the dark. Neither one could see to hit very straight. but wes got the worse of 1t and hollered Enough" as loud as he could holler. wes then walked home and Clem got into the boat and poled back down to Bingville

Speech of President
 to Editors Of Nation.


 Norfolk, Va. June 1o.-Before the National Editorial Association at the Jamestown Exposition today, President RooseveIt delivered an address which was received with enthusiasm.
 The President spoke as follows;
 It is of course a mere truism to say that no other body of our countrymen wfeld as extensive an influence as those who write for the daily press and for the periodicals. It is also truism to say that such power implies the gravest responsibility. and the man exercising it should hold himself ac- co,,ntable. and should be held by others accountable precisely aas If he occupied any other position of public trust. | do not intend to dwell upon your duties today, however. save that the need or cur people is vital
 1t is essential that the man in public fife and the man who writes in the public press shall both of them, if they are really good servants of the people, he prompt to assail wrong doing and wfckedness.f But in thus assatling wrongdoing and wickedness, there are.

AAo"olu DlluSe, IN MS excellent "HiStO-
ry OF the Carnegie Steel Company" to
which | am much indebted is through
out stanch admirer and champion of
Mr.. Frick. Speaking of the profits of
the company, which rose from $4,000
OOO the year of the strike to S21.-
100000 in 1899, Mr.. Bridge observes
(page 295):
1t is believed by the Carnegie Of
hcials, and with some show of reason.
that this magnificent record was to
a great extent made possible by the
company's victory at Homestead. From
that time on the company profted
by the heavy investments it had made
In labor-saving machinery, and prices
got so low that one year when the
Carnegies made over $4,000,00O, their
chief competitor, the Illinois Steel Co
had upward Of $1,O00,00O loss. Bv
1897 the cost of steel rails on the cars
at the Braddock mill was only s12 a
gross toni"
The admiring exclamation point is
Mr.. Bridges. Whatever saving ac-
crued to the company from its victo-
ry at Homestead has now been capital
lied and is outstanding in the form
of stocks and bonds. So there is lit
tie fear that steel mill labor will re-
lapse into the scandalous state of
earning SIS a day. The necessity of
paying interest and dividends on this
capitalization stands in the way.

any extraordinary return upon our

order to get this much we must keen
on paying the monopolistic price for
steel rails.
