There is nothing new or startling in
the tariff ideas enunciated by Cover
nor Johnson. The governor loves to
indulge in glittering genera]ities in
pointing out wrongs that should be
righted and evils that should be
remedied, but he is very careful not
to antagonize any of the special inter-
ests that stand ready to contribute the
sinews of war to promote his political
ambition

Big, brainy Dan Lawler of st. Paul
has filed for the democratic nomina-
ton for mayor of that city. It is said
that Boss O'Connor does not regard
Mr.. LAWYERS candidacy with favor,
and if that is true it means stiff
fight at the primaries. AS a lawyer
and an orator Mr.. Lawler has few
equals and no superior in the state.

Federal pure food commissioners
have at last solved the perplexing
question, "What is whisky?" They
have decided that whisky is whisky
and that all limitations must be
labeled as such. To simplify matters
the government could attach the regu-
lation skull and crossbones poison
label to imitation and "pure' whisky
alike and feel sure that no mistake
had been made.

The Commercial West speaks a
good word for the New York banks
as follows: "The country will never
appreciate the debt it owes the
bankers of New York for work done
in the last three III months. 4Itis quite
the custom in districts of the west to
speak of New York as wall Street, ,
but such limitation is entirely outside
the fact. The bankers of New York
stand out nspicuously at the present
time as real bankers. They have cut
the legal 7reserve oven $50, 600, 900 in
order to furnish banks throughout the
United States with currency, when
such shipments were refused by
reserve centers in the west. Had the
bankers of the west been as liberal
as have the bankers of New York,
there would be but little currency
scarcity today. There are banks in
the west holding as high as so per
cent cash. sa&

Papers Are Published for More
Persons Than One.

The Aulander correspondent of the
Rich Square ROanoke-ChOWan Times
has n truer conception OF the func-
tions OF a newspaper and the diverse
interests and tastes which it must
cater to than the average person, we
think. Writing in his department
last week he said this:
Some people object to a whole lot
of things in a newspaper. Some
Others want different things. many
don't know what they want, still
more could run a paper better ac-
cording to their own opinion than
those who are in charge. But it is a
good idea to leave such things to the
Judgment of the editor. as in nll like
lihood, his experience in the work has
shown him a good deal more than
outsiders are ever likely to learn.
Just what is needed in the matter OF
news and other articles. lfyou don /
like to read about your neighbor's :
cOmings and goings, turn to oanOther
page and read something you d" like.
Other people might want to know
what is happening to the people they
know and they must be pleased as
we'll as you 1t would be a hard mat
ter to suit everybody, and, as to
what to print, leave that to the
editor anyway-it's just possible
that he knows little more about
that than you do. Not until we
study the business as the editor has.
will we be in position to tell him
what ought and what ought not to
be printed.
