THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

There ought to be democratic
weekly newspaper in every county;
where there is no such weekly, one
ought to be established. 1t does not
cost much to start or to conduct a
weekly newspaper. 1t can be owned
and edited by the same man. The
country weekly has far more influ-
ence in proportion to its circulation
than the city daily, first, because it
has behind it a person who Is known
to the readers and whose character
adds force to his words: second, be-
cause the weekly is read with more
care. The country weekly comes
much nearer reflecting the senti-
ment of the community than the
large daily. In fact, in every contest
between the unorganized masses on
the one side and organized wealth
on the other, the big newspapers are
generally on the side of organized
wealth, and this fact has become so
notorious that candidates are often
elected with practically all of the
daily papers against them.
In 1896 when nearly all of the
great dailies deserted us, the week
lies were faithful because they were
near to the people and shared the
opinions and aspirations of the null
titude, says Bryan's Commoner.
The editorial page of the demo-
cratic weekly ought to be large
enough to present briefly the demo-
cratic side of the questions upon
which the people are thinking. Hav-
ing local as well as general politics
to consider, the country weekly can
not of course give the attention to
national questions that a national
paper can, for a national paper does
not have to devote any space to To-
cal questions, but each issue of the
country weekly ought to contain a
discussion, however brief, of the
more important questions before the
country.
The country weekly ought also to
have a Washington letter-not a
letter sent out by some unknown
correspondent, who, being paid to
advance some secret interest, fur
nishes his stuff for nothing, but a
letter by someone who is known as
democrat and who sends out relia-
Bile news.
The weekly newspaper ought to
DISCUSS candidates and platforms so

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.--"I have just

John R. Walch, recently convicted
of misrepresentation of the funds OF
the wrecked Chicago National bank,

Walchs' attorneys appeared be-
fore the court today to argue the
motion for new trial. The aged
financier, although broken in health
and fortune, is still confident that
he will yet be acquitted and main
tains the same determination that
enabled him to rise from an Irish
immigrant lad to a multi-mi llionaire
and the owner of railroads, banks

the City In 1900.
One of the rules Of war passed by
the former conference at The Hague
formally forbade pillage. William T.
Stead tells how he questioned a China
man who was present at the relief OF
the legations In Peking in 1900. In re-
ply to Mr., Stead's question the man
said: Every one looted. But every
body did not loot everything. Each
had his special field of pillage. The
japanese, for instance, looted only the
rich people and places where there
was much silver They looted from
the public treasury and sent their
fellows, came late. and there was moth
ing left for them to loot but furniture"
But did all the contingents pillage"
asked Mr.. Stead
''The Americans were the best. They
+, did not pillage. General Chaffee threat
ened to shoot any one who did. So
they only took watches from people in
the streets. The Cossacks and the Sc
poys were the worst. But everybody
helped themselves"
"Then you had to deal with the real

CITY FINANCES
ARE REVIEWED
COMPARISON SHOWS BETTER
MENTs AND EXPENSES FOE
PAST THREE YEARS-ORDIs
NANCE LIST EXTENDED @&

The city council last night receive
ed the report of City Clerk Nicker-
son, showing the general financial
condition of the city. A comparison
of the permanent general betterment
for the period covered by the pres
ent system of accounting shows as
follows
For the nine months ending De-
cember 81, 1905, $6,165.42.
For the year ending December 81,
1906, $12,349.71.
For the year ending December 81,
1907, $21,1S87.61.
The special improvements for the
same period were: 1905. $5,905,17:
1907, $59,411.2S,
A comparison of the operating ex~
penses for the same periods shows:
For the nine months ending De-
oember 81, 1908, $47,123.66.
For the year ending December 81,
1909, $65,697.64. ~
For the year ending December 81,
1907, $77,626.76.
It Is proper to explain that all OF
the improvements in the water de-
partment were to be from the pro-
ceeds of the bond issue, but the fail
ure to sell the bonds has caused this
large expenditure to fall upon the
general working fund of the city.
Unless this Is replaced, 1t Is doubt
full whether the musicipal revenues
will be sufficient to operate the city
for the coming year.
