ADVERTISING CHAT

Prof, Woodrow Wilson. historian,
economist and capable head of Prince
ton university, told the bankers
aSSembledat Denver that they should
advertise. In speaking of this matter
TO that conservative class, Prof. Will
son by interference told business of
whatever type that the way is through
the channels of publicity.
Advertising of the right sort-the
intelligent, persistent sort-with
merit in the article offered, whether
it be banking facilities or rubber
boots, matches or merceriZed silk or
sole leather, will bring results. Ad-
yertising, like the newspaper and the
telegraph, brings the people of the
world closer together. Prof. Wilson
sounds an old note in new way.
The scource of the suggestion, too,
is especially valuable.-St, Louis
Times.

we hope mother will regain her
health. We find that the altitude
here IS too high for her and are adj
vised that southern Michigan, in the
famous peach belt, has the ideal
climatic conditions and proper alti-
tude for her, heQce our move. We like
Spokane very much in many ways and
we have made money in our timely

LET US HAVE
CLEANER STREETS

Sometime ago the REPORTER pub
lished an article relative TO this street
cleaning PROPOSITION, and likewise
stated that Members of the Civics
Com. Of the Federation had called
upon our merchants and business
men To elicit their interest in cleaner
streets. Business men and mer
chants in general readily complied
with the requests made by the FEEDER
alton and are doing all in their power
to keep the street clean and free from
unsightly papers. But the question
is, are our business men and merchants
wholly responsible for the uncleanly
appearance of our streets? The above
query was put to the reporter
this tmurning bV one of our
leading merchants, and on taking
cognizance of the nature of the litter
the wind had garnered in heaps
oefore his place of business, we were
compelled to answer him negatively.
None of the rubbish bore any evidence
that it eminated from his shop. We
have cone to the conclusion that the
only solution of this problem which
is harassing the Civics Com. and Others
who are trying to keep the streets
clean rests with the city council. An
ordinance should be passed forbiding
the promiscuouS distribution on the
streets of hand bills, dodgers,
circulars, phamplets etc This is
the nature of the rubbish with
which our streets are Uttered
today. Ninety-nine out of every
hundred scraps that you may pick up
in the gutter are of this description.
The only way 10 abate this nuisance
is to prevent its being done, and to
punish the offender when caught in
in the act.

BOYS CAMP ON
LONG ISLAND

1t appears from the evidence thus
far revealed that most of those young
boys were members OF a gang who
were organizing a camp of deSpera-
does who had established headquarters
upon Long Island just above the
Green Bay g Western railroad bridge
where they would meet on Sunday
and talk over matters OF interest to
the members. They had commenced
to build "dugout" half unoer and
the other half over ground where they
would camp, shoot at targets, read
novels. eat chickens and enjoy from
tier existence. For this purpose they
needed guns, reyolvers, knives am
muuition and things TO eat. The
next question vas, how are we going
to obtain these things? They had no
money, therefore stealing them was
suggested. How and when could this
be done? The gun store of d. NJ.
Huntington was where all these
articles could be found. Next, was
how the robbery could be accom-
plished. Mr. Huntington being, a
fireman, fire was suggested that
would oblige him to leave his place of
business aud go TO the fire and dur
ing his absence they could rob his
business place. These suggestions all
came as result of dime novel read
ing. Their organization consisted of
Leo Caine, captain; Earl Helms, lieu
tenant; and Henry PodawIltz and Leo
Sells, slaves. They expected to add
to their membership by inviting other
BOYS to come up and see the camp
aud outfit. None of their parents
had any knowledge of such a place.

THE PAPER INDUSTRY

The people Of this community are
deeply interested in the paper indus
try. The operation of the large mills
located here means employment for
many of our citizens and such employ
ment means happiness and prosperity
for the entire community.
In common with all corporate inter
ests, the paper industry has been the
subject of criticism and attack during
the past year, but is the only industry
which has been singled out for direct
attack for political reasons.
The tariff plank in the Democratic
National platform demands 1.-The
immediate repeal of the tariff on
wood pulp. print paper, lumber, tim
Der and logs, and that those articles
be placed upon the free list" 1t is
the purpose of the supporters of this
plank to open the American market
to the foreign paper manufactured.
The effect of this, it is conceded,
would permit the foreign producer to
absorb substantial portion of the
American market. During periods
of depression such as we have been
passing through recently. our home
production exceeds the demand and
the result has been to close the mills
with consequent loss to capital and
labor. This condition would be highly
aggravated through the foreign COM
petition which free trade in paper
would bring into eXistance.
The Republican platform promises
revision of the tariff schedules ION
the basis of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of
production at home and abroad, to-
gether with reasonable profit to
American Industries"
1t would seem that community SO
vitally interested in the prosperity of
the paper industry Should have no
difficulty in determining which party
platform to support.

HOW ABOUT OUR BOYS?
What Shall we do for Them to
Make Them Better Men
When They Grow up?
IContributed.l


We have in the past allowed our
school boys to loaf on the streets eve
nings and gather in groups at street
corners and restaurants where they
are in the way of these who have
business to attend to.
We can see them smoking cigarettes
and fixing upon themselves the to-
bacco habit before they are half
grown or have established physical
constitution strong enough to with
stand the baneful effects of the nico-
tine poison.
We have put the slot machines out
of the saloons ~ but have left them
in the drug stores and restaurants
where our small boys meet and are
allowed to get s'soft drinks" and
learn their first lesson in gambling.
There are those who sell to our boys
a low grade of "Wild West literature
in which they find stories of outlaws
and oesperadoes that excite their i'm
agination and leads them to desire to
be the heroes of similar exploit.
sWhen they have acquired the to-
Dacco habit, a desire to gamble, aud
a taste for "soft'' drinks with the
stories they haye read they are easily
lead to steal, to commit burglaries
and acts of incendiarism 10 order to
secure money to crafty their newly
formed habits, and in doing this they
are only playing the part of the heroes
they found in their "Wild Vest
literature.
1t is lamentable, fact that not
only the late fires but more than two
thirds of all our cases of larceny and
burglary are committed by our school
boys. 1t has been proven by prison
statistics that about 90 per cent of the
professional criminals started in their
life of crime while they were yet in
their teens, and if boys or girls pass
through their teens without having
started any vicious habits the chances
are 10 to l that they will never con-
tract any of the vicious habits.
The group of boys implicated in the
late cases of larceny, burglary and in
cendiarism represent only small
fraction of the young depraved out
laws of our town. The moral de-
pravity of our youth is certainly
alarming, and who is to blame for it:
Primarily the parents Of those chill
dren who have failed and even re-
fused to keep them home evenings
Our city officers are to blame in al
lowing young boys to gather in loafing
groups on our street corners evenings,
and by failing to enforce the laws and
ordinances that have been passed fol
their protection.
Our Federated Women's clubs have
done and are doing much to beautify
the city, but is that more important
than their duties as wives and
mothers in protecting the mora
character of our boys and girls?
We have erected fine school build
ings that are well equipped with
apparatus and competent teachers, ant
we have been taxing ourselves heavily
for their maintenance, but what will
all the learning of our schools amount
to. if their moral training is neg
lected? Can we allow part of ou
school children to contract contagious
