Fremont (Nebr.) Tribune: The
man who pays his bills promptly and
cheerfully is jewel. The one who
is always mad about it and insulted
can be endured, though he deserves
to be broken on the wheel. The one
who persistently refuses to pay what
he owes, though he promises cheer
fully and pleasantly TO do so, is a
curse to the world, an exerescence
who hasn't the manhood to pay his
own freight down the stream of time.
The discharge OF financial obligations
is the beginning OF honesty.

OUR NEIeHRoRs' OPINIONS.


Keota Eagle: The Oskaloosa Her,
aid says wood pulp has been placed
on the free list and as consequence,
print paper has advanced in price and
is going to advance still further and
stay advanced. The new list We saw
figured the same rate on wood pulp as
the Dingley law. did, but admitted it
free under a lot of questionable pro-
visions. The Herald says: I'VE do
not pretend to know very much about
the tariff question. but this one item
in which It is concerned, proves the
theory that it has always worked on,
viz: that the tariff has little to do
with the regulation of prices, and put.
ting articles on the free list tends to
deplete the national governments ex-
chequer without benefit to the consum-
err Now we have 1t. A lot of us
greenhorns have had the idea for
years that tariff tended to make the
price higher to the consumer and put
the coin into the pocket of the manu-
facturer instead OF the government.
But according to the Herald we are
mistaken on every point. If the Her
ads diagnosis of the tariff is correct
the best thing for us printers would
be to have high tariff on wood pulp
since admitting it free increases the
price That would make the price
lower and if it WASH low enough, slap
on a little more and keep it up until,
after a while We would get our paper
for nothing. The Herald has the ques-
ton solved.
q
Burlington Hawkeye: The Oska-
loosa Herald was one of the few pa
Eye in refusing to ask that wood
pulp be made an exception to the re-
publican protective policy by placing
it on the free list. The Herald held
to the position that as long as the
government needed a tariff for reye-
nue., the newspapers should pay their
portion of the tax" But was it a
tax" in the true sense of the word,
and did it increase the cost of print
paper? Congress reduced the rate
from sc a ton to $3.50 and now the
price of print paper has advanced. 1t
is Opportune for Herman Ritter, the
New York democratic newspaper pub
Usher, who as chairman of the News
paper Publishers Association, flooded
the country with appeals Tor free
pulp. to rise and explain things. The
republican publishers who refused to
sacrifice party principles for their own
(supposed) selfish interests can look
other republicans in the face without
blushing with shame.

Oskaloosa Times: That there should
be objections on the part of any OF
our merchants TO contribute towards
the movement for better roads sur
rounding Oskaloosa is indeed surpris-
ing. A farmer friend of ours told us
only last week that the lack of good
roads was sending hundreds of farm
ers TO the smaller towns to trade and
dispose, of their products, and hun
dreds of dollars worth of grain is
sold in Wright for every dollars worth
sold in Oskaloosa. Whether this is
strictly true or not we do not know,
but II it is it only emphasizes the ne
cessity for better roads to induce the
farmers to bring their grain to this
city. The good roads movement
should be given all possible encour-
agement

Keota Eagle: The return from the
average chautauqua in Iowa this sea
son seems to be shortage financially
but an optimistic opinion in the local
papers that another year will make 1t
all right. The real trouble that is
putting the rollers under smalftown
chautauquas is that they lack much
talent that anybody wants to hear.
The average program is about one
star and aweek OF sticks. And they
can't fool many of the people very
long.

while patronage from the country
and nearby towns Is not what it has
been in other recent years. Then, too
1t is doubtful If the talent is up to
the usual average. There is not
drawing card in It like Bryan or Book
er Washington or BILLY" Sunday or
Mrs. Booth. And that's one of the
puzzles of chautauqua arrangements.
The first sowing of talent has ripened
and been cut down and it is exceeding,
ly difficult to get new crop. A good
way to revive the tagging interest
and. to get the people awakened would
be to coax the conservative element
of the country to take the platform
next season people with the mission
of optimism in their hearts, people
who can see good things in the civil
i2ation of today and who will preach
the doctrine that everything is not
going to the dogs SaN

State sunday school Convention Notes


An important question to be settled at
the convention will be that of a per-
manent location for the headquarters
of the State Sunday School association.
There is apparently some feeling that
the headquarters should be removed to
Topeka.
In anticipation of large attendance
upon the convention the various rail-
roads which reach Topeka will pro-
vide extra coaches on incoming trains,
day.
There will be a meeting of the en-
tertainment committee representing
the various churches of the city, ap
pointed to provide places for the dele
gates to the State Sunday School con-
vention, this evening at Gemmell hall,
Central Y. NJ. c. A. building. The
chairman of the committee urges a
full attendance. Free entertainment is
not to be provided for the delegates,
but the people of the city are asked
by the committee to entertain visiting
delegates at the uniform rate of 81
per day for lodging and three meals,
or soc for lodging and breakfast. The
committee is pleased that so many
have responded to the request to open
their homes, but more places of en-
ltertainment are needed. 1t will re-
quire a great many homes to provide
for 1000 or more delegates No fear
| is expressed that Topeka will be lack
