COMMEMORATE NEWSPAPER MERGER"

The Pioneer notes, with much
favorable interest, the recent con-
solidation of the Akeley Tribune
and the Akeley Herald, which now
appear as one large, newsy, breezy
paper, under the combination"
name of the Akeley Herald Tribune,
and we wish to congratulate those
interested in getting the two publ
cations together, backed by a joint
stock company, with fair capitali-
cation, and placed under the man
agement of a leader among the all
around newspaper men and printers
of the state-Charles F. Scheers.
For some time prior to this latest
move, there have been two papers
published at Akeley, and neither Of
them were receiving patronage that
would warrant the continued exist
ence of both. Someone, who deserves
the thanks of the good people of
Akeley, got the conflicting publica-
ton interests together, and the
merger" resulted.
Now, all that is necessary is for
the Akeley people to stand solidly
behind their paper, so long as that
publication is issued in the best in
terests of all; and the result will be
gratifying, all around. But a word
of advice to both the publishers and
the patrons might not be remiss:
The patrons of the Tribune Herald
should not expect too much for
nothing from the publishers, and
should be given to understand that
a printing office is the poorest place
in the world for the sharpening of
edged tools referring especially to
the grinding of personal axes
On the other hand, the publisher
should exercise a due amount of
discretion in the contents of his
columns, in that he does not show
undue favoriteism and is not too
strenuous in his correction of existing
evils as they may appear to him; be
charitable.
This is said in the kindest spirit,
and if followed will do much to do
away altogether with activity of
factions which exist in every COM
munity.
The writer has been acquainted
with Charles F. Scheers for more
than fifteen years; and we know
him to be one of the very best
printers, all-round newspaper pub
fishers, and above all booster" of
the thirty-third degree who is a
desirable power in any community.
Congratulations are due both the
promoters of the new Tribune Herald
and the people of Akeley on this
latest newspaper move.

EXPANSION OF RACES. BY Charles
Edward Woodruff. AM. MD mem
ber of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, etc.
New York: Rebman Company.
DR.. Woodruff has assembled in this
volume an immense amount of interest
ing and important information relative
to the human race. considered from the
largest point Of view, that OF world
population. 1t. is, in fact. an exhaustive
anthropological study of one of the
reasons for migration, war. pestilence
and famine. This is of particular i'm
portance to American leaders at this
time. when our interests have been car.
ried beyond the original continental
limits and we are working out proc
lens. partly our own and partly those
of other people. in distant possessions
DR.. Woodruff believes that our expan-
sion to the Philippines is but a part of
the course of human events and lie
holds to the theory that the retention
of the islands may be our future neces-
sity. His work Is inspired by the gen
eral acceptance of the Malthusian doe
trine. He attacks the myth of aa-
climatization," holding firmly to the
belief that the white man cannot i've
in the tropics save at on enormous ex-
pense and by the adoption of artificial
expedients. Yet the white races are

dependent upon the tropics to a great
extent. and one of the chief problems
in world economics is to utilize anu
develop the tropical resources without
seriously draining the vital forces Of
the directing races. The work is con
ceiyed in a broad spirit and contributes
valuably to the study of the question.
FRAUDS AND SWINDLES. A Graphic
Description of Some of the Most
Dangerous Frauds and Swindles That
Are Frequently Met With by the Man
in the Street. Compiled and edited
by r. r. Fuller. Washington: Hay
worth Publishing House.
Mr.. Fuller has assembled series of
outlines descriptive of the various means
by which trcksters undertake to get the
money of others without giving value in
return. In order to prevent the volume
from growing into vast proportions it
was decided to present only leading types
of the two general classes into which all
swindlng schemes fall. those of conf
dence'' and those of substitution" Prac-
ticalIy all trick games by means Of which
foolish and unwary people are separated
from their money are based upon two
principles of imposing upon the good
faith of the victim or of actually and
ysically deceiving him by some method
of manipulation. A reading of this book
will undoubtedly be of service to those
who ave not by nature sufficiently eau
tious to protect themselves from all the
wicked wiles of men.

THE WHIRL: Romance OF Washing
ton Society. BY Foxcroft Davis. IL
Illustrations by Harrison Fisher and
B. Martin Justice. New York: Dodd,
Mead & Co.
A novel of Washington society must
have a modicum of diplomatic environ
ment. a dash of congressional influence
and one well defined adventures. If a
villain can be introduced in the form of
a scheming lobbyist or member Of
the large family of the. malefactors OF
great wealth. so much the better for
the tale. Mr.. Davis novel has all Of
these elements. and in the main CON-
bined effectively. His interest, however,
is divided between two sets of people
whose careers are not necessarily as
socated, and the story shifts from one
point to the other toward the close in
a manner to dull the focus. A highly
dramatic climax is reached in Senator
Marsh's sensational withdrawal from
public life to shield his wife, a sacrifice
which is rendered futile by the fact
that at the same time he leaves her and
thus exposes her to the unmistakabie
condemnation of the world. Incident
