who wishes to make a record that will
re- elect him, should not neglect so
obvious an opportunity to see justice
done and save the money Of the tax
payers.
John j. Hamilton, former publisher
Of the Des Moines News and later
principal owner Of the Inflated wo-
mans dollar daily, which he attempted
to establish In Chicago, is one of the
principal promoters of a new venture
to print magazine supplements for
Sunday papers.
Sixty families from Linn county have
formed a colony in Minnesota and Will
take up dairying, growing potatoes,
OF the field once covered by the pin
cries" offer big chance for the class
whose limited capital seems to preclude
going into farming" on large scale.
This territory is being too much
neglected.
The news items in many weekly pa
pers recording the organization of
companies to manufacture cement
blocks, etc, is one of the concrete
statements of q. prosperous condition in
the towns referred to.
Eastern railroads are issuing manu-
ais of etiquette to their trainmen. If
the custom comes west. as many worse
eastern customs do, the first rule for
conductors should read: When plain
drunk Is convinced that his mission
on earth is to render himself disagree
able or dangerous to passengers the
conductor will approach and swing
hard on the jaw; aided by the brake
man he will then politely proceed to
manhadle the p. d. into quietude and
quiescence. Etiquette requires that he
shall be assisted by the train crew
and such passengers as may offer their
services. This is considered the haut
ton In the cultered centers of civiliza-
ton, and is not to be neglected by self
respecting trainmen who desire to live
up to the requirements of polite US
age"
"Scotty" Brown, whose spectacular
trip attracted so much attention and
brought the miner the notoriety his
soul craved has gotten thru with the

The ST Paul Dispatch has discon-
ued its Sunday edition and predicts
that the Sunday paper will disappear
and give way to "saner journalism"
There is good reason for the predic-
day edition outside of a meager amount
of real news is to carry advertisements
that might as we'll appear in Satur-
day issue and to act as a vehicle for
mixed collection Of stuff that is coll
Elaborated mainly to furnish pure
ments. The present monstrosity consid-
cred from a news standpoint is a sort
of swtll cart filled with broken rem
nants of soured leftovers most of which
isn't worth warming up and unfit for
mental food when 1t Is.
Out in Spokane it Is said that those
who are making the loudest cutlery
against Billy Sunday are those who
will be least affected by any movement
that may result from his meetings. It
is probably the same everywhere. In
the anti slavery agitation it is histori-
cal that the poor whites upon whom the
burden of slavery rested almost as
upon the negro were the loudest in
their denunciation of the abolitionists
and in defence of an institution that
made and kept them in class despised
and downtrodden. Sunday may be all
that his enemies allege but it is hard
to see how or where he can hurt the
men who are most vociferous in their
fear of vulgarity and graft.
