 Senator Lodge says trusts are myths. Is anything real?' inquiries the Pittsburg Dis patch. Yes, indeed; Senator Lodge is very real It IS disputed that the colonel recently killed "a heretofore unknown animal" There is al- ways room in the Ananas club for one more ol course.
 All the newspapers are praising the Seattle woman who drove a burglar from her house with baseball bat. Indeed, she seems to have scored quite a hit.
 A Chicago plumber won 5000 as a result of the Patten wheat operations. What the plumber loses by dull business in the summer, luck cheer fully makes up for him, apparently.

The Silver Belt fully appreciates what the business man has said regarding this paper and the efforts of its publishers, not that it fears the competition of the paper in question, but for the reason that it very forcefuly puts this newspaper in a proper light before the public and his suggestion should and undoubtedly will bear fruit Globe, as the business man states, has one of the best daily newspapers published in city of this size The fact that it has had the almost undivided support of the business men is responsible for this condition. The business public has profted. The city has always had a good newspaper and the advertisers have reached all the people for one advertising rate, whereas, had the field been divided the adver- Using appropriations must of necessity have been double what they are at present without any greater results.

No other newspaper in the southwest can supply its place in the hearts of eastern people interest ed in the Globe district. The Silver Belt pub fishes all the Globe news. Just why the busi ness men should be called upon to donate good money to an outside paper for giving rehash of Globe happenings is past understanding. The Silver Belt maintains at considerable. eX- pense paid correspondents in the towns of the Gila valley but has never had the cheek to ask the business men in that locality to assist in paying the correspondents salaries.
