THE International Paper Company
has cut wages 10 per cent. The news
paper publishers recently showed that
concern was founded upon the tfr'fF that
it had raised the price of paper to the
consumers, and thst the wages it paid
were small. And nov those wages are
cut 10 per cent, though there is no re-
duction of prices or of duties. During
the fall the employees will be imPlored
to vote for Taft lest the terrible democrats
should reduce the tariff, and that. OF
course, would reduce their wages. For
the latter they have not had to wait for
a democratic victory.

EXPRESS co. 10 LOSE BUSINESS
Express companies have just awaken
ed t. the fact that they are not likely to
carry any email silver coin for the gov
ernmert this year, thereby losing $50,
900 In charges. All OF this is because
of an amendment slipped into the sun
dry civ apprOErat on bill at the last
session of Oorgnss by John Wesley
Gaines, Tennessee foe Of corporations,
who hiss Just been defeated by trast
money fjr denomination.
Mr.. Gaines amendment provides that
one.half of the $50, 900 apIrOpris-
ton for the transport ,lion of coin shall
be expended for registered mail. 1t was
supposed that the express companies
would gtt The remaining $50, OOO. Since
then Mr.. Daskam, chief Of the bureau Of
public moneys, has ruled that the law
means that $50, 900 should be expended
by registered mail before any part of the

charges. II is believed at the Treasury
Department thtt IS the charges for reg

1T takes all kinds of people to make

Likewise a great city.
This is a cold, cruel fact.
The committees that have been Out
this week in the interest of a greater
Chickasha are thoroughly convinced
Of the truth of this assertion.
II any one thing is calculated to
try the nerve Of man more than an
other It is that Of going forth in the
interest Of the city in search of large
contributions to a great enterprise.
II the citizen who passes through
such an ordeal comes out Of 1t alive
and with a fragment Of faith in man
clinging to his think tank he is good
enough TO go up higher
With a proposition placed before the
man OF ordinary business sense which
without long deliberation must bring
from him-if he Is honest-a confess
sion that in less than twelve months
after location It will add in profit
to his holdings at least 80 per cent,
It would seem that he would be willing
to give one-half the advance estimated
to insure its coming.
AT least calculation one would think
that the property owner would give
10 per cent of his holdings where
he was convinced that his property
would double in value or even advance
25 per cent within twelve months.
We say that a sharp, shrewd bust
ness man should figure that way
But how prone to err" is man
when estimating man.
One man having big possessions
gives literally.
Another who has big possessions
gives BlnBeIll.
One Of the medium property hold
ers gives tenth of what ne could
afford to.
Another of the medium holders
gives sparingly.
One of the light property owners
gives his tenth and never murmurs
Another small property owner gives

Some men, upon more mature de-
liberation, have already signified their
intention to double or treble the

One citizen who had been put down
by the committee for $4,000 has
doubled the amount, making his con

would realize at least estimate double

welt has stood In the chief pulpit in
the land proclaiming the gospel Of
''decency" and righteousness. He
hasn't yet turned from the error of
their way all the sinners in this great
country, but he doubtless feels that
he has done enough for the present in
the home field" to justify him in
turning his attention to the benighted
dwellers in foreign lands. Just at
present he is trying to bring Joe Pu-
liter and several other hardened sin
ners to the mourners' bench, but he
hopes TO have this batch stirred off
before he turns his guns on Africa.
Just picture the scene for a mo-
ment--
In the midst Of the dense Jungle are
gathered the dusky savages, in alb
breviated costumes suitable to the eli
mate and the prevailing fashions of
the land-Hottentots Kaffirs, Sene-
gambians and all the rest of the black
tribes, who have assembled to hear
the great evangelist whose coming
has been heralded by large posters
and flaring newspaper eds; upon the
rude rostrum stands the preacher,
even Teddy the Terrible himself. with
his ferocious looking teeth, his eye
glasses adjusted, his brown face
adorned with his most terrible frown,
in one hand his trusty Winchester and
in the other his huge war club The
sight of the preacher himself is enough |
to make all the savages on the conti-
nent fall down and plead for mercy.
The preacher begins, without
text
Hey, there, you miserable heather,

THE PROHIBITION WAVE.

The wind is blowing toward prohi-
bition. 1t has started in the South
and is rapidly developing into hurri.
cane whose avonging wings presage
disaster to the saloon in many a city
and community-perhaps in entire
commonwealth. The saloons have
sown to the wind and are reaping this
whirlwind of destruction. So many
of them have become dens of vice and
evil that it has brought the entire
traffic into intense public disfavor.
The decent saloon man who respects
the law is SO vastly outnumbered by
the kind that reaches out after every
dollar into the very sinks of degrada-
tion. that he will be overwhelmed also
in the general oataclysm. The saloon
must go, and even the advocate of
high license-to which class the Lea
der has always heretofore belonged
are prone to say "amen." Everybody
knows that liquor dispensed as a beve-
rage disseminates evil to an extent
far greater than the good it may do
the temperate man whose system may
require an occasional stimulant. The
only valid excuse for the existence of a
saloon is the rather sordid one that it
provides revenue for community by
indirectly taxing its patrons, many of
whom contribute in no other way to
the support of municipal government.
Yet the general taxpayer might better
shoulder a heavier burden and do
away with the saloons support. pur-
chased as this assistance often is at
the price of wrecked homes and ruined
lives. "Blind pigs" may afterward
flourish for a time, but the "blind
pig" is unlawful and unlicensed, and
the community is not responsible for
its existence. Insofar as Weston is
concerned, the saloons here are no
worse. perhaps better, than they are
in other places, but enough unpleas-
antness has occurred to indicate the
patent fact that their presence can
scarcely be described as desirable.
They will have hard struggle to keep
above water upon the approach of the
prohibition wave. ~ Weston Leader.
