SUPPORTER HOME PAPER
Merchants Urged to Back the
Local Press

An appreciative view of the
home newspaper is given in the
Office OutGttcr of Chicago, from
which we make the following eX-
tracts;
Many good town isn't worth a
cent because tie local newspaper IS
neglected, Many a good merchant
dising center is dead because the
m.n in business treat the editor Of
the newspaper rs an object of
charity. This is wrong. The
local paper is The greatest thing i'll
the community. 1t should be sup
ported. 1t should be read and
patronizcd. The merchants who
think they are clever and smart
when they slip one over on the
local paper make a big mistake
Every dollar YOU take away from
the local newspaper i'll schemes and
knocks hurts the town. 1t hurts
business, and, most of all, it hurts
the merchants who indulge in it.
Whatever else YOU merchants do,
patronize your home paper, Don t
tell me it has a small circulation.
Don tell me that YOU reach ten
times as many people with less eX-
peusc using circulars. Don spring
any of those time worn gags on
me at all. Stop standing i'll your
own light. Get behind the local
paper and push it for all YOU are
worth. | don t mean push il to

position where it ought to be, and
as sure as you are alive YOU will
push your own business up with

Spokane Pays the Bill

The victory of the Spokane dele
CATION in the recent legislature in
securing an appropriation Of $50,
600 to aid III the entertainment of
the delegates to the National lrri-
CATION congress to be held here
next summer, is not so much of a
victory after all, when it is consid-
cred that in order to secure this
appropriation it was necessary for
the Spokane Legislators to vote for
other appropriations, many of them
having little merit, which may cost
the taxpayers of this city two or
three times as mitch as il would
have cost to contribute the $50, 900
out of their own pockets without
asking for The assistance of the
state.
Never in the history Of II asling-
ton have the appropriations at a
single session of the legislature so
far exceeded the estimated revenues
and one of two things must be cX-
pcctcd as a result. Either taxes
must be greatly increased next year
or the state must discount its war
rants in order to conduct its bust
ness. In either case the taxpayer
will be the man who will have to
suffer and many members Of the
last legislature may have a hard
time to explain to their constituents
when they seek reelection. Spo

they get it every member of the
family wants his turn to see what
it SAYS. Ads, and all are read. If
the merchants of a community will
educate the PEOPLE to look in the
newspaper for their announcements
the people will read the papers
more ard greater will be the re-
turns.
There i, no alley so long but that
has It's ash barrels, and there is no
knock SO powerful or subtle but
that il reacts. DO yourself favor
and keep UP your end by support
ing the local newspaper, and sup
port i. for all YOU are worth.

the local papers do 10 help their

Clean Up at Once

Now that spring has arrived-is act
ually upon us two weeks in advance of
what we generally expected would it
not be Il good idea to inauguratc an era
of general cleaning W: The back
alleys all over town are actually filthy
and in some portions the streets are
little better. Yard fences are down,
the sidewalks broken up--in dilapi
dated condition generally-t front
yard full OF old boards, while the back
yard is ormamented with old tin cans,
broken table ware aud refuse matter in
general. 1t is just as easy to keep
things in order around the home as it
is to do otherwise and a CONFUSED state
of affairs eventually breeds contempt
for order a home kept neat, tidy and
orderly, is The home Of sweet temper
and kind words.
What is true OF the home IS also true
of the business house. Order and de-
corum should prevail in the business
house and everything kept in its place
and in order, otherwise confusion only
prevails
Clean W. Set the lome, bushes, or
otherwise in ordor. Make your place
attractive.
Clean up the alley in the rear OF your
place and the street in front OF it,.
Make your place of business home like.
You say it is Il great task to do so,
and so il is, but it pays y hundred cents
on the dollar inst the same.

Thanks co Billy Goodyear.

1t will be remembered that to-
wards the close of the campaign
last fall Billy Goodyear forced
Judge Poirdextcr to declare with
evident reluctance, that he would
II elected to congress, oppose the
tributary rules of Uncle Joe Cannon
and his congress. This will aC-
count Tor his recently voting with
the democrats and small handful
OF republicans in favor of amending
the rules. But for his campaign
pledge he would doubtless been
found snugly cuddled up beneath
the downy wings of Uncle Joe, as
were his two colleagues, Cushman
and Humphrey. For his heroic C)
stand against the rules let us all
return thanks to Billy Goodyear
But suddenly there shined
around about him light from
above:
And he fell to the earth, and he
heard voice saying unto him:
Miles, Miles, why persccutest
thou mc?'
And he said: Who art thou,
.ord?' And the Lord said: i
am Uncle Joe Cannon whom thou
persecutest it is hard for thee tc
kick against the pericks And he
trembling and astonishcd said:
Uncle Joe, what wilt thou have
me to do?' And Uncle Joe said
unto him. Arise, and go unto
my republican bosses, and it shall
be told thee what thou must do. y
And the men which journcyed
with him stood speeches., etc,
etc, etc.

We want TO ask our republican
friends, not the ones who hold the
offices, or those who expect to do
so. but YOU who do the voting be
lieving, like ourselves III the poll
cies looking to the general welfare

we want to ask YOU, III all candor.
what YOU think of the action of the
legislature just closed And we
want to ask YOU if it is not the
republican party which is respon-
sible for it, and if not then what
party is'
Do not answer this question I'M

the question over, and while doing
so disabuse your mind of whatever
bias or prejudice YOU may have in
favor of this or that party Garry
it home to your freside and figure
it out as YOU would business pro-
position.
Its appropriations reach the
enormous sum of $40, 600, 600, or
very nearly so. In speaking of
this extraordinary expenditure the
Spokesman Review has this report
of the work:
1t exceeded all previous ses-
sions in amount of money appro-
priated, provisions being made for
the expenditure OF approximately
$4,000, 600. Part OF this total
will, however, be made up by the
disposal OF land recourCes and the
issuance of state bonds"
Think OF it. Having to issue
bonds in a state that has been pay
ing the enormously high taxes that
the people have here, and blessed
with good crops all the while. If
we had magnificent state institu-
tons to show for it there might be
a shadow Of excuse for it. With

Let us sit down and figure for a
moment. There are about | 500
900 people living in the state in.

sum amounts to about 81 per head
IN the way of taxes. Allowing five
persons to family, this means SIS
tor the head of each family to paw

the county and school tax. The

land owner, as their holdings are
such that they bear the brunt of
taxation.

slstent supporter of Gov. Hay in

Joseph B. Healing Puts His
Principle Above Honors
of Office Holding

The Roosevelt arrogance has lost
to the service OF government a good
man. United States Attorney JOS
eph B. Healing OF Indianapolis
has resigned his Office rather than
participate in the pros c c utlo II
against Delevan Smith and Charles
R. Williams, of the indianapolis
News, for criminal libel in Connec-
ton with publications concerning
the Panama canal and railroad.
Mr.. Kealing's letter declining to
serve longer is one worthy OF study
In his letter he very aptly brings
out the point that every man shouId
be tried at home and not be carried
away to be tried where the coldi-
tons would be prejudiced against
him, as would be the case Ill " assn
ington where the government
prestige could, and no doubt would'
mitigate strongly against him. fol
one who preached the square
deal Roosevclt's action III the
matter looks very much the oPpo-
site. In his letter declining 10
serve longer, MIR. Healing says;
Sir: beg to inform YOU that

An Honest Lawyer.

In these days when 50 many
lawyers stand ready to accept a re-
tainer on either side and to present
an argument in favor of any prop
osition it is refreshing to find a
man who is willing to resign an
Office rather than enter upon a
criminal prosecution which he be-
licvcS to be unWarrantCd and dam
gcrous to the public.
Mr.. Joseph b. Healing, who
resigned the Office OF United States
district attorney rather than prose
cute in the government libel suit,
acted well. Mr.. Healing would
have found it embarrassing to have
remained in Office with the libel
suit on his docket and, plainly, he
is not the sort of man who could
have made an argument in favor of
that unjust cause.
\ word of advice to Mr.. Taft:
Instruct your attorney general to
dismiss these proceedings against
the New York World and the IN
dianapolis News. Everything is
to be gained by dismissal much is
is to be lost 10y continuing a pro-
ceedin9, which is bound to tcrmin-
rte in a farce. The Commoncr.

Within the past month two
Thirty Day Houses have opened
doors in our city to compete with
legitimate business houses III the
sale of goods. These people who
are here today and somewhere else
tomorrow should be made to pay
we'll for the privileges enjoyed. If
they advertise a bankrupt stock of
$50, 900 they should be assessed
for that amount and made to pay
the tax thereon before exposing
their goods for sale.
We know nothing about the two
"Thirtv Day Houses recently
opened here-onc on Fourth and
the other on Main street, but as a
rule such houses are only out to
fleece the public, and they sell for
spot cash, whereas, your home and
regular merchant will extend
credit if you are deserving, and
when he does so, he certainly has
a right to consideration at your
hands. The Dawn may be over
jealous in matters of this kind, but
one thing sure, it has no space to
sell to such people at any price.
