NEWSPAPER BLowHEADs.

For the past few days certain self
inflated newspapers have been making
all the noise they could with black
faced type about their rights. eXciH-
sive rights to print Commander

pole They have fiimhammed their
readers about heavy expenses y

The fact is that any paper that cares
to print Commander Pearys story is at

union of Chicago and Des Moines Tor
% cents a column The New York
Times, the Chicago Tribune. and
scores of smaller papers all over the
country have been blowing hard about
the reckless way they have been using
money. The truth is that the New
York Times advanced Peary $4,000
when he started and Peary gave his
obligation to pay back the money On
his return. The New York Times
wanted not only Peary's money. but all
the other money it could make and so
it peddled the story for anything it
could get from anybody who would
buy The warning" notices against
using any part of what Peary said We're
only cheap and buncombe advertising.
The New York World, the New York
Sun and other newspapers printed the
account just as soon as the New York
Times and the Chicago Tribune. All
the essential facts about finding the
pole were given by the Associated
Press several days ago. The pretend
ed copyright story is to advertise a
forthcoming book, and just enough is
given to make the reader want more.

HIDING THEIR HEADS.

The special legislative committee of
the American Bankers Association has
reported to the convention now in ses-
sion in Chicago condemning any and
all plans to guarantee bank deposits
but the public which occasionally gets
hurt in a. bank failure will continue to
clamor for some kind Of legislative
protection and bankers should not hide
their heads in the sand of a commit
tees report and think that they are
safely out of sight when the ground
swell of a public demand is following
them.
What the American bankers ought to
do is to provide from the wisdom Of
their expert knowledge a substitute
plan for greater security Tor bank de-
postts which shall be free from the inn
perfectations and weaknesses of the
present guarantee laws. For instance
the self devised security of clearing
house cooperation should be extended
ito county banks in some manner. 1t

One of the old-time conductors on

grew suspicious of written pass pre-
sented regularly by one of his passen-

the Office of President Guthrie and
said: "a farmer has been riding on
this pass for about year. Do you
want him to continue to use it?'

Outside Point of VIEW.

In these days of almost universal
prosperity. its very easy matter to
forget one class of our citizens that are
barely holding their own. This is the
wage Garner generally known as
salaried man. Compared with the day
laborer. his salary is about the same
as ten years ago, while the man that
performs manual labor is earning about
one-third more in wages. Men in bus
mess for themselves naturally are fig
uring increased profits necessary to in
creased expenses and present cost of
living. Professional men also can and
do charge more for service rendered
than was customary a few years ago.
Farmers as class and with few ex-
ceptions are making big money, both
on account of high prices for farm
products and the general advance in
their land holdings. But the employees
of all of our stores our railroad Of
fees, our depot agents. our travelling
men. in fact. all men working by the
month or year at a stated and regu-
lar salary. seriously face the fact that
a days labor has at leasta25 per cent
less purchasing power than ten or fif-
teen years ago. To illustrate take the
case of the average minister of the
gospel. He earned say $1,000 to $1,000
year, fifteen years ago. He gets the
same pay today. 1t now costs him at
least one-fourth more to live and sup
port his family And his case is typi-
cal of thousands of other wage earn
ers. which as remarked before comes
under the head of salaried men. That
| this class of men are fortunate in
/ having steady employment and sure
/ pay. does not alter the unfortunate
condition that exists They had that
same good fortune twenty years ago.
OF course there is a remedy. It's "to
cut the carmen. according to the
cloth" But how? AS men of family
they feel like buying clothes comparing
with others in the same circle In the
matter of house rent, neighborhood,
locality, is matter of necessity. The
education of their children is fixed
charge in the price Of school books
Modern custom implies that the bath
tub, electric lights and telephones are
necessities and not luxuries. And SO
on, there are a hundred actual neces-
sites in these days that were luxuries
fist is now as commonly employed as
a regular physician was twenty years
ago. No intelligent person can econo-
mise. that is indulge in real economy
along these lines.
But in the matter of food both eating
and drinking, the salaried man as wei
as the wage-earner can If he wishes
materially reduce family expenses. w,
are all eating high priced food, becaus,
we create demand for it. by SO do
