She moved away, n the words were

moment she felt only scorn for the
creatures who a clapped that inter-
probation upon her great RESPONSE

girls course through the room, easy to
trace by her shining blond head, and
the unusual righteousness Of her musli 4

During the height of the storm which
prevailed here last Monday. Nicholas
Wortendykc, assistant engineer of the
Jersey City water department. was run
down by a wagon in Broad street, OPP
posite the Prudential building, and sus-

stakes are tremendous. There is no room

Men or agencies must rise or fall by their

So, we make no contracts with our brilliant

There is a way to ~prove-easily and quickly
If we can sell more than others.
The proof can be given without any commit

The result may be worth thousands of dol

We have abandoned contracts.
Our business is solicited on one basis only
on the claim to outsell any other concern in the
field.
We expect to be compelled to make good.
That is why we pay our Copy Chief 1000

We combine our ability-mass our expert
cnce--to invariably fulfill our claim.
Then we abide by results.
Advertisers may come to tbs without any
commitment. They may start in a small way,
and expand when results are apparent.
They may quit us the moment another con-
Germ shows the power to sell more than we.
Thus we are held to the mark. We cannot
relax, for our accounts are ours only SO long as

man who pays rent or lives
under his own roof or who hopes to
live in his own house is asking them
They are pertinent questions and in
clude the demand of the middle west
for free lumber.
Why hasten the destruction of our
forests by a tariff on lumber?
Why increase our floods and soil
erosion by destroying our forests?
Why not leave the south its rich
heritage of forest wealth and let the
north draw from Canada?
Why make the north pay for long
hauls on lumber when a short haul
from Canada would save the people
millions of money in freight?
Why increase the cost of homes
furniture, woodenware. etc. and so in
crease the number of homeless tramps ?
Why do these things for the benefit
of a few millionaires who already have
more than they ought to have?
Why be fooled by the present slump
in the price of lumber (made on pur-
pose) only to be laughed at when the
tariff is settledo
Why not be statesmen and legislate
for the interests of the people?

of their own senators and congress-

TINE ACCURACY OF NEWSPAPERS.

A common lnomplaint is that news
papers stories are Inaccurate. Some
one gets more or less mention in con-
nection with a movement or cause than
The imagines he deserves, someone finds
himself linked to something he has
misspelled or fails to find her own in
the list of guests at Mrs. Hilife's re-
ception to the Daughters of Nebud-
chadnezzar the street number has
been written or printed wrong ETC. and
naturally concludes that the newspaper
IS a tissue of Inaccuracies 1t is time
to bring a witness against this in
dictment founded upon little things
Call James Ford Rhodes, the eminent
historian.
Mr.. Ford says that outside of official
acts in which the documents them
selves are the most certain source
of information the newspaper is the
best source of information in the COM
pilation of history. More, while the
documents are accurate and statistical
they fail to furnish the whole story
They do not uncover the motive. The
newspapers do.
Remarking upon the impulse of an
American writer in justifying the use
of newspapers as historical material is
to adopt an apologize tone. Mr. Ford
says, "it is somewhat curious that such
should be the case, for newspapers sat-
asfy so many canons of evidence. They
without knowledge Of the end, can not
bolster up any cause without making
plain showing Of intent. Their OBJ
ject is the relation Of daily events; and
&c their relation is colored by honest or
dishonest partisanshtp, this is easily
discernible by the critic from the in
ternal evidence and from an easily ac-
CURED knowledge of few external
facts"
The files Of any newspaper are his
tory, real history, gathered on the spot
p11lAlSu Oil LilS SdlIiS Gay. IL tlle
older citizens of Marshalltown and
Iowa would begin with the first files of
the T.-R. and follow the daily history
of men and things and events and
movements to the present day they
would find in them a marvel of histor-
acal perpetuation and accurate repre-
sentation OF each day as it came and
went. And this is true of other news
papers which make it a business to
give the news first and comment upon
1t afterward. Newspaper files are ex-
cellent evidence in court of law. The
mirror that a good newspaper holds up
to the throng of passing humanity
renders true reflection, the truer be-
cause 1t is hurried and must catch
every footstep and reflect every act Of
the community. 1t is a record of the
state and the nation. And above all
st Is alive with the heartbeats of the
day when it was written and printed.
It is the truest history because it is
actual life moving, breathing doing
alive.
Mr.. Ford has said a pleasing word
and true one. The daily press re-
port Is the essence of history.
