HOGS BRING
A HIGH PRICE
EIGHT DOLLARS A HUNDRED ARE
PAID FOR BEST GRADES OF
PoRkERs AT CHICAGO.

Chicago, June IA. The highest
June price for live hogs since 1882
was established today at the Union
Stock Yards when the best porkers
sold at eight dollars per hundred.
With the exception of 1902 this is the
highest price recorded for any month
since the Cuhady corner in pork IN
1893, when live hogs sold at $s.75. The
prevailing high prices are due to un
usually light receipts of hogs at all
western packing centers and the ex.
tremely high price of grain last year.
prompting many farmers TO dispose
of their stock rather than pay exhor-
bitant prices for feed stuff.

Japan Guards Against Paper Famine.

The Japanese also have looked
over the contents of their industrial
stores and have decided that some
thing be done toward conserving their
remaining supplies of raw material
for paper making.
In Japan, paper is used for almost
everything from the silver-fgured
partitions cf the Buddhist temple to
the rude hut walls of the laborer;
from the silk-like vestments of the
priest down to the rainproof shield of
the traveller. In fact, the ingenuity of
the Japanese is only matched by the
varieties of uses to which paper may
be adapted
The work of the United States Gov
ernment toward determining the
amount of paper materials used and
the source of future supply, is being
followed by the Japanese, according
to an advice from U. S. Consul John
H. Snodgrass, at Kobe The immi-
nence of the danger is apparent from
the fact that the Japanese authorities
have requested the paper mills de-
partment of the Mitsu Bishi Kaisha
to take over some 1900 acres of the
bamboo forests of Formosa.
1t is known that the bamboo tree
has been the raw material from
which the Japanese have recently
made the larger portion of their
paper products; so it is thought that,
by introducing the improved methods
of forest cultivation and harvesting,
this tract of woods will furnish yearly
100000 bamboos, adapted for con-
version into paper pulp.
No matter whether the paper COM
pany will establish its mills in For-
mosa or ship the bamboo to Japan in
a partly finished state, the develop
ment of this new source of raw ma
terial will be of high Importance and
may overcome the necessity of the
Island Empire looking to foreign
countries for the future supply of
paper pulp.-National Printer Jour.

GOV. WILSON FOR
FREEDOM OF PRESS.
Pardons Newspaper That Criti.
cised Judge and Prosecutor in
Night Rider Cases.

Governor Augustus E. Wilson, re-
garded as one of the ablest lawyers
in Kentucky, in one of the strongest
defenses of the freedom of the press
in criticism of public officials ever de-
livered in the South, granted a par
don to the Herald Publishing Com
pany, of Louisville, publishers of the
Louisville Herald, indicted in the
Galloway and Trigg circuit courts of
Western Kentucky on the charge of
criminally libeling Judge Thomas P.
Cook and Commonwealth Attorney
Denny P. Smith. The two officials
hold Office in the district in which the
greater part of the night rider trou-
bles in Western Kentucky occurred,
and the paper vigorously denounced
them for failure to perform their
duty in prosecution of the lawless
element.
The Governor said he granted the
pardons because the long series of
crimes in this district which have not
been punished under these officers
administration makes it necessary for
the press to criticise all who can be
held responsible.
"The freedom of the press, while
1t must be clear of malice or false
hood, is one of the greatest safe
guards of the people against wrong
and failure to do duty, and public Of
ficers under whose conduct such
crimes go practically free from pun
ishment for year ought to expect to
be criticised, and will be unless the
freedom Of the press is destroyed.
"In the face of all these crimes of
the most vicious and lawless ele-
ments, all but one or two have gone
unpunished, and the people have been
as helpless as if there we're no law
and no court, and now, after this al
most endless series of most shocking
crimes, the total net results of the
use of those officers Of the power of
the law and circuit courts ends in
these demands for the Grand Jury to
investigate the Judge and attorney
and in these indictments of the paper
which had the courage to denounce
these wrongs and strive to bring
better conditions in the districts and
the State.
"If the courts do not put an end to
the rule of crime in the counties in
which the Judge and Commonwealth's
Attorney are expected to uphold law
and order the only hope of permanent
relief from such conditions is an en-
lightened public sentiment aroused
by the press of the country, and in
stead of Furnishing the newspaper
which makes fight against such con-
ditions it should be regarded as full
filling its duty"
