The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-04-08

The four newspapers of Denison.
the Review. the Bulletin, Die Zietung
and Der Demokrat have mutually
agreed to live up to the new postal
regulation with all strictness. This
is done not only cause it is the law
and tritiing with your Uncle Samuel
is always risky thing. but because
the publishers are of opinion that
strict enforcement will in the long
run be of great benefit to publishers
and readers. The publishers recog-
nize that they will lose some sub
scribers. Some people are taking
half dozen papers now when they
can hardly afford to pay for one.
This is of no benefit to the publish
err and certainly is of no benefit to the
readers purse.
Nothing in the wide world is cheap
er, to day than reading matter. Fiji
tytwo issues of the Review with it's
Magazine Section. giving all the
news of an entire county is the great
est bargain for Crawford county folks
that could be offered them. There is
no reason why such a paper should moi
be promptly paid for and Uncle Sam
says it must be paid for within :
year. Competition often forces bust
ness men into poor business methods.
The publisher under the old system
felt that he must carry subscriber
indefinitely. for if he did not, hi:
competitor would and he would lose
circulation while his competitor
gained. Under the new system h,
who reads must pay and one canno
avoid payment simply by jumping
from one paper to the other.
As we said last week we congratulate
ourselves that so far we have made
net gain since Jan. LIST, but even if W,
don't close the year with as man,
readers as we opened with, we shall
at least have received payment TO
honest work done and our list will
be roll of honor.

DENIsoN GIRLS SUCCESS
New York Paper Tells Of Una Hog
kins' Work in the Far West.

The following clipping from New
York paper will be of interest to Mrs.
Hopkins Denison friends In addi-
ton to her work as decorator she
also writes for a number of maya
zines and has made name for herself
in that way also:
ga notable example of finding
way or making one is that of Mrs.
Una Nixon Hopkins. of Pasadena.
California. 1t was through accident
that she discovered her vocation. She
lived in an old house that was far
from beautiful, and when she made
known her determination to make it
an artistic dwelling her friend s
laughed at her. But she persisted.
When the house was finished the re-
suit was even better than she antici-
pated. and as neighbor after neighbor
dropped into see the result of her
labors. each one found something to
admire. Finally. one said: "What
will you charge to do my house
over?" Quick as flash came the
thought: Here is my opportunity. -
and from that day to this Mrs. Hop
kins has never known an unemployed
hour. Gradually her clients in
creased, and now she numbers among
them the wealthiest people of Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles. She is paid
large sums for her work, and when an
interior is done it is a satisfying pic
ture. so we'll do the colors blend.
Mrs. Hopkins has gradually en-
larged her field. by taking contracts
to build and furnish residences. She
takes delight in making over ole
houses that architects have said could
not be made habitable. and several OF
the successes have been along These
lines. Before taking a contract fol
a job of this kind she forms picture
in her mind and works until it is pro-
duced. No trouble is too great fol
her to take and she often spend;
weeks hunting the shops for soms
shade or texture to give the needed
bit of sheen or color to room. II
is largely due to this capacity fol
trifles. that Mrs. Hopkins owes hel
success.

If Congress has not been taught a
lesson by the HillTower incident. it
should have been. No country of our
professions pays its diplomats so poor
ly as does the United State. And
it is we'll to bark back only few
years to show that the world position
of the United States has grown out
from under Congress. In 1898. the
United States was accredited only min
listers from foreign Governments in
other words, we were only second
raters. and unworthy of ambassadors.
Then came the Spanish War, and
Europe sat up quickly. Ministers
were elevated. there was lot of
quick shifting and then other nations
than Mexico were represented here by
ambassadors. Of course, by reason of
diplomatic usage we were compelled
to send ambassadors in return. Here
is where the difference comes in.
Great Britain pays James Bryce. her
ambassador to Washington $50. 600 a
year. and the British Government
owns the handsome building which
houses him. 1t is en- Connecticut
avenue, the fashionable promenade
thoroughfare in Washington, and is
worth probably 5000. COO. Nearly all
other European nations own their
embassies and legations here, and
they pay their ambas sailors and min
listers salaries which make it possible
for poor man to accept such post.
But not so the United States, in the
front rank of world powers. 1t is
notorious that none but the richest
can accept posts of Importance. Poor
men are barred, yet none would say
that poor men are not capable. Many
have notion that diplomatic post
is only meant for chance to shine
socially. but as a matter of fact, they
are of vastly more Importance thar
the layman ever knows.
There have been several bills pre-
sented in Congress to provide for the
purchase of embassy and Legation
properties abroad. and it is to b.
hoped Congress will see fit to preclude
the possibility of repetition of sucl
an incident as the Hill-Tower affair
which was brought about solely be
cause Mr.. Hills is not rich man.

TO INSPECT PLANS
 SALT RIVER BRIDGE
Berkeley Engineer Spent Two Days Considering Proposed Construction

Raphael x Basford of Berkeley Cal. representing Charles G. Sheely a Denver conuactor who pays particular attention to bridge and foundation construction, left for the coast last night after a stay of a couple of days in Phoenix He came here particular ly to inspect the site and the prelim- mary plans for the bridge across the Salt river at the foot Of Center street or wherever it's location shall be de- teTmined upon. That site seems to meet with the most general favor as it will be more convenient for the south side interests across the river from Phoenix and it would seem. Trac- ticalIy as beneficial to the eastern end of the valley. MT. Basford expects to return again in about a month.
 The need of this bridge is apparent to all and has been for many years and it is believed that when built it should be a permanent structure and one that will be constructed with the view of accommodating an electric line as well as a roadway for wagons and automobiles. The plans as they have been dra VII at this time call for a bridge of nine spans, each 106 feet long. the bridge with its approaches being 270J feet long Concrete founda- tioUs are contemplated and the floor of the bridge is to be twenty feet wide.

A PROPER WARNING.

Mir. Bryan either cannot or will not distinguish between a warning and a threat He persists in regarding the former as an attempt at coercion. Yesterday again he sought in his speech at Newark. Ohio. to make cap itaI out of an alleged statement by railroad official that in the event of the election Of the democratic can didate there would be a reduction in the wages of railroad employees. That statement. if made. was what the man who made 1t believed to be fact. an inevitable accompaniment of conditions which he assumed would follow the election Of NIr Bryan.
 Railroad men as a rule are not ac- tive or partisan party men, In that respect they are like all other busi- ness men who care less for the name of the. party in power than they do for the effect of it's policies on the country. If the effect of the republican policies are likely to conduce to bus iness activity railroad men are likely to be republicans; otherwise, they are likely to be democrats. We have said that railroad men are like other business men in this respect and so are farmers, mechanics and all other thinking men Hard times is too much of a strain on the party loy- alty of the average man.
 The railroad official who uttered this alleged warning was therefore presumably in earnest about it and if uttered at all it was uttered in a spirit of lrfendIiness to railroad em- pIoyes. It might be admitted for the sake of argument that his fears were unfouuded and that the conditions he dreaded would not follow the cleo tion of MT. Bryan. But if he feared they would it Was his duty to his em- pIoyes Co warn them and ask them to assist in averting what he honestly believed to be a calamity which threatened an.

The purpose of the attorneys for Harry k. Thaw to free him from the consequences Of his murder of Stan ford White is so palpable that it is hardly probable that any court would seriously and soiemuly consider the proposition to send him to Pittsburg to testify in the trumped-up bank ruptcy proceedings. A legally insane criminal would hardly be a compe- tent witness anyhow. If this move should succeed. in similar circum- stances a convicted murderer might be removed from the very shadow of the eaIlows.

We can hardly believe that a ma jority of the voters of Maricopa coun- ty will neglect the opportunity to se- cure the services of such a man as George N.

manner in which to carry out our little joke
effectively. First, the vehicle was to be
rolled to the centre Of the level and that

a great deal of manoeuvering, we finally

We lifted the heavy thills and let the

momentum to go by itself. Then we let go,

Away went the wagon, at lightning speed,
