business. The discrimination il
now in favor of the merchant,
and he needs protection from the
mai order house. Publishers
may as well grin and say they
like it,
One of the greatest injustices
praticed by the government is the
fact of the postoffiice department
printing and selling envelopes, and
at price below the actual cost to
the printer of the raw material.
Then add to the injury the gov
eminent deadheads the delivery
of the goods and charge up any
deficiency, real or imaginary, to
the second class postage accorded
10 newspapers.
And to top it all off some of
the sapsuckers at the head Of the
governmental affairs are urging
for an increace in the rate of post
age for newspapers "a rate, if
adopted. that would be the means
Of putting hundreds Of country pa
pers out of business. We don't
believe the people in general
would stand for this.
The fact is, the government
uses the mails with a free list,
which runs up into many millions
Of pounds, and the price paid the
ir1a1ii,,road for carrying Is Charged
up to the newspaper secondcIass
rate and noted as deficiency.
The dealing Of the departments
are unfair, for putting out COM
mercial work is not in line with
a square deal.
The only recourse perhaps is
for the country newspapers to
white out "big stick' and get
busy. 1t doesn't pay to have
everything one sided. Too much
is plenty, and not enough is
quite a few. Patience sometimes
ceases to be virtue. and there is
always last straw. -Pemberville

Does B!ackfoot Want It.

.a+ -. e..
We repeat question we ASA :
some months ago, but it applies to a
different body. When the press
club was to hold meeting at
Soda Springs, we asked the people
here if they wanted the next meet
ing at Blackfoot, and only two
persons in the community respond
ed and made any offers to help
entertain the "boosters' or show
them around. The response came
from the superintendent of our
state institution, and his wife.
They in turn were criticised by
one of our citizens, for offering to
serve meals and use the teams
and surrey furnished by the state,
for the guests of the locality, and
asked "What right have they to
use property of the state in this
wayN
The answer is ''l'he right of
common courtesy; the right of
common interest in business. F"
The editors are not asking any
thing. The wide awake towns
and localities are asking something
of the editors: namely, that they.
visit the locality, 60 out with cit
izen of the place and be shown
the resources of the locality and
on returning to their printing
offices, write it up and publish the
facts and give 1t out as free adver-
Using for the locality and the state.
All are benefited by it, unless it
is the editor, and he is in the
boosting business and is willing
to do the work. Blackfoot could
get a meeting of the printing club
by asking for it thru their repEs
sentatives, but not otherwise.
The Salt Lake Commercial Club
is coming into Idaho with a
special train, all one of their "Get-
aquainted" trips, and will visit
towns above and belowus. They
have made no arrangements yet to
even look out of the car windows
at Blackfoot, and, like the press
club probable will not until we
show something besides indiffer-
ence to the purpose of their trip.
Blackfoot owes it's existence and
much of its wealth and prestige

advantages, aud the residents and |
property owners and farmers

DEAD MEN CANNOT TESTIFY
Civil Suits Growing out of Enterprise
National Bank Failure.

Pittsburg. May 2S.-The civil suits
brought by Receiver Thomas Rinaker for
the recovery Of 1857, 1850, which is al
legged to have been loaned on notes of the
Pennsylvania Development company by

will be reached in the United States cir
cult court before the end of the week
Charles Lee Clark, who committed sui
eide while treasurer of the bank, was
also treasurer OF the Pennsylvania COM

tested upon the ground that the notes
referred to were never discounted in the

treasurer, and for this reason were found
in the bank when closed by the comptrOlz
Ter of the currency
Four suits to recover these alleged notes
are coming up for trial.
