the present low duty of 10 per cent
there are practically no importations.
There is a point where we must stop
in cutting tariff rates, unless we in
tend to strike out the whole system
and become free-traders generally.
The truth is that there is 4 wild, un-
restrained spirit abroad, which would
recklessly, without rhyme CT reason,
turn down the whole system of pro-
lection and rend it asunder.

SUCCESS OF BRoOkINGS GIRL

We are pleased to again record the
success of Miss Lila Alton, one of
Bookings finest young ladies, who
has been studying music 1T Chicago
the past couple of years. She has
been selected by the Chicago Lyceum
bureau as a member of the Chicago
Ladies quartette, one of the best
known musical organizations in the
west and will spend the coming year
travelling with that company. At the
present time they are filling chautau-
qua dates and beginning in the fall
they will give concerts in the larger
cities of the country, going as far west
as California. The position is a fine
one, paying $50 a month and expens-
es, and that she was selected for
this famous organization is surely a
great tribute to Miss Lila's ability as
a singer. She will arrive home the
latter part Of next month for a few
days visit with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Alton, before taking up
her seasons work.

THE PRESS AND PROSPERITY.

The PRESS AND PROSPERITY
The Parkersburg State Journal in
giving a little lecture to the mer.
chants of its town says:
The prosperity Of the newspapers is
SO INTERVIEWED with the general condf-
ton of city, that one indicates the
ether. what would Parkersburg be
without its press? The papers do not
cf necessity make the town, but they
are a token OF what it is, an indica-
tfcn of its progress. He who refuses
to patronize them sets himself against
growth and enterprise.
The sinsple fact Is, the commerce
and upbuilding of Parkersburg are
much more linked with the condition
OF its press than is commonly suppos-
ed. This being true it certainly de-
serves support from all directions, and
particularly from the merchants and
the other business men. By support
ing it they help themselves first direct
Iy, and by promoting the city. also in
directly. There is no Improvement
proposed here, none to be carried out,
none established, but what as rule
is first suggested by the newspapers.
Attention Is now being attracted this
way for numerous enterprises by the
newspapers and they will keep ham,
mering away until some things are Sc
cured that most of the public believes
cannot be.

Robert Morris, that young man
who owns and operates half dozen
or SO weekly newspapers in Richie
county and helps run the Parkersburg
State Journal has become business
manager of the Parkersburg Dispatch
News, which calls for the following
comment from the Sentinel. Of Par
kersburg:
1--WE think We are justified in saying
that the State Journal and the Dis
patch-News have been ,syndicated, and
will hereafter be operated under one
management, though nominally sepa-
rate and distinct. Does this create a
long felt want?'
If it4enables both papers to make
money: We think it will fill long felt
want. and we congratulate the papers
ON the combination.
Morris is progressive newspaper
man and from the light thrown on the
by the Sent:nei 1t means that
he has practically brought about a
consolidation of these two valuable
properties and they are to be operated
under one management. The Dispatch
News announces, too, that from now
ON its Job department will be revived.
The State Journal job room will no
doubt feel much blessed by this ire
vival."
