Business Circles ArCrieved.
Throughout Washington's business cir
cles the announcement of the noted ed
itor's death came as a saddening blow.
Although for several years practically
retired from active participation in busi-
ness struggles, Mr. Noyes had an i'm
mense acquaintance among local business
men.
His ''squareness@ and intutive charac
ter reading could not be better illustrated
than by the. story Of an interview pub
Iished in his paper. and absolutely denied
the next day by the prominent public
official supposed to have granted the in
terview
Mr.. NOyes sent message TO the city
editor requesting him to send him the
man who wrote the interview. When the
reporter entered, Mr. Noyes glanced up.
Seeing it was a man In whom he hid
implicit confidence he merely asked:
Did you write that interview
Yes" said the reporter.
That's ALL said Mt. Noyes
That afternoon Mr.. Noyes published on
the editorial page Of the paper the sub
stance of the denied interview. the sub
stance OF the denial, and underneath
brief editorial paragraph to the effect
mat the interview was absolutely correct
in every detail.

Republican Favors to Publishers.

\ Washington newspaper announ-
ces with striking headlines that the
Republican congress has granted
great boon to newspaper publish
ers, who have been suffering from
tie enormously increased price OF
print paper.
Representative Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock, owner annd editor OF the Oma-
ha Record-Herald, who has made the
best fight in behalf Of the newspa-
per publishers of the United States
on the floor Of the House, said In
his first speech on this subject that
the eXturtions of the Paper Trust
had Increased his white paper bills
$4,000 a year. Mr. Hitchcocks pa
per, though prosperous and influen-
tial is not one of the greatest in the
United States. He himself would
not put it side by side with the
Chicago Tribune, the New York Her
aid or the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. If the eXtortions OF the paper
trust meant an additional expense to
him of $4,000 annually, what must
they have meant, and what must
they now mean 10 papers circula-
tinng over a hundred thousand daily
and 100000 Sunday.
And If one paper in Omaha was
effected to the extent of $1,000 a
year by the paper trust, how con
vincing is the devotion of the Re
publican party to the newspapers
which have served 1t so royalty and
iwell when 1t is willing to appropri
ate $4,000 for an investigation into
new materials for making new ma
terials for making paper-an inyes
