MALICIOUS MISREPRESENTATION

Through ignorance and malice the
Review has been willfully misquoted
regarding the publication Of the names
of the signers of the saloon petition.
In its issue of May 10Th the Review
published the news concerning the
whole affair. After telling of the
plans of the saloon men the Review
gave the news as to what the Anti
Saloon League proposed to do. The
language was as follows:
We are informed that it was de-
cided that in order to prevent fraud
and to give publicity, the names of
those signing the saloon petition would
be published. either as advertising
matter in the county papers or printed
and distributed as circulars.
No person can honestly read any
thing into this except statement OF
the news. The saloon men met apo

The anti-saloon men met and planned.
The Review published that. There
was just as much reason to say thai
the Review would circulate a saloor
petition because it said the saloon mer
intended to circulate one. as to Say
that it would published the names O.

saloon men intended to have then

quotes US on this subject does SO eithe

DISCRIMINATING ADVERTISERS

. ADeSAs~
The Bulletin has been pleased to
call attention to the excellent "for-
eign" advertising patronage of the
Review.
The Review is proud of this patron
age and is rather glad of an excuse
to expatiate on the subject.
The local advertiser is very apt to
go en- the theory that newspaper is
a newspaper and he divides his patron
age as evenly as possible. All news
papers look alike to him. perhaps he
even favors the paper with little cir
culation, providing the editor will
trade it out. Such advertising is all
when he kissed the COW, but the
y" foreign" advertiser is not that kind
of a humming bird. He advertises
for RESULTS. He is absolutely
cold blooded about it. He does not
advertise with you because he likes
your politics, or because you bought
your last suit of him, or because you
gave him nice write up about his
baby or because he can't get what you
owe him in any other way. He ad-
vertises for results.
He knows the difference between
eighteen hundred circulation and twen-
| ty-eight hundred circulation. He en-
ploys advertising agents, part of
whose business it is to find out what
the real circulation Of newspaper is,
not just what the editor says it is.
but the real bottom facts
OF course there are cheap jack
foreign advertisers. who want you
to take some sort of junk in trade for
space, but the Review does not carry
such advertisements. There is not an
advertisement in the Review today
that is not on strictly cash basis and
there is not an advertiser in our COL
umns who would make trade PROPOSE
ton. Such advertisers as Royal Bak-
ing Powder Co., Calumet. Chamber
aims Med. Co.. Scott's Emulsion,
National Starch Co., W. K. Kel-
logg's Toasted Corn Flakes, DR..
Pierce. LYDIA Pinkham, Karo, DR..
Chase, j. C. Aver & Co.. Cheney &
Co. are household names. They pay
cash and do not thank you TO let the
bills run.
These advertisements are furnished
to US in the form of plates. There
is no chasing after copy, no proof
reading. no bills for type-setting and
from financial stand point they are
the very best advertisers "A newspaper
has. so long as they are treated right.
We will admit that Review adver-
tising rates are too cheap. but it is a
fact that the Review does not discrim-
mate in favor of any of its advertisers.
"The "foreign' advertisers take
their own methods of ascertaining the
advertising values OF newspapers and
when you notice them hocking to a
certain newspaper in town, you can
guess that there is reason. 1t is
not cheapness of price. for such adver-
tisers have no money to waste on poor
advertising at any price. The shrewd
local merchant will keep an eye on
the foreign advertiser for it is a safe
bet that he knows what he is about
and where he can get the most for his
money.

The Review wishes to repeat its
statement that the present saloon mix
up was due to the carelessness of the
democratic officials who canvassed the
petition nine years ago. The board
was solidly democratic and was acting
under advice of democratic county
attorney. The fault was not with the
petition. that stands O. K. today, the
entire fault, as every saloon man in
the county knows, was in the manner
in which the petition was certified by
the board of supervisors. The Bulle-
tin can throw all the fits it pleases
but the above are the facts.

THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO

Chicago Tribune: President Taft
said to the colored graduates of
Howard university that "never at any
time has the future of the negro as
race appeared more hopeful than at
the present day." That is substan-
TALLY true, and yet every now and
then something happens which weak
ems the hopes of those who wish we'll
to the negro The future of the
American negro depends largely upon
the course of the southern whites.
They can help him along or keep him
down While the number of those
who would aid him is increasing,
there are evidences of determination
to prevent his progress by hindering
his making living.
Consider what is going on in the
progressive state of Georgia. Its
great railroad system is tied up by
a strike against negro labor-by an
effort to stop the employment of
some black men as locomotive firemen
They are good workers or the road
would not retain them. They can
rise no higher in the railroad service.
All the engineers are whites. But
the demand is made that the negro
fremen step down and out to make
room for white men. The popular
feeling along the line of the road is
l'that white engineer should not be
forced to ride on an engine with a
negro fireman. Manifestly there are
many Georgians who do not wish the
negro should rise above the status of
a field hand.
Complaints are heard continually
from the south about the ineficiency
of negro LABOR. 1t cannot be other
than inefficient if the attempts of the
negro to make himself of greater in
dusttrial value are discouraged. Any
kind of work the negro can do we'll he
should be encouraged to do.
The south clamors for white labor.
1t invites foreign immigration. and
when the immigrants come it makes
poems out of some of them. Foreign
governments feel constrained to advise
emigrants not to go south. There are
SO many southern employers who have
not learned how to treat labor dec ent-
ly that until there is radical change
the south will get comparatively lit
tie white labor and will have to de-
pend on negro labor.
Therefore, if business principles
ruled at the south there would be a
general endeavor to make that labor
as valuable as possible, There would
be no driving of the negro from oc-
cupation he is competent to fill.
There would be no tie-up of the Geor-
gia railraod. When the south gives
up utterly the vicious practice of OBJ.
structing the industrial advancement
of the negro all doubts as to his future
will disappear.

plained to me, because, though l did not know much about his financial af- fairs, could vouch for the fact that he was one of the most scrupulous men l had ever known; and, besides, I knew he was not what we call nowadays a rich man. A little while after this MT. Cleveland happened to be talking pretty freely with me about his resources. and told me about just having lost several thousand dollars on a scruple-unneces- sarily as 1t turned out. After relating the incident he said: But don't deserve any credit for that, because money has never been temptation to me-"
 I told this to my editorial friend, and he replied: "Oh, I have gotten over all anxiety about that as I've found out how glad he was to get the check we sent him for his article.'
 Soon after he left office and settled in Princeton, he told me that there was talk about making a position for him with d large salary attached. He said such good friends were in the movement that he could not act hastily and in way that would seem ungrateful, but that he would not accept a position in which he would be unable to perform adequate service He. in fact, declined the position.
 I remember that at a time when he was adding to his not large income by industriously contributing to periodicals he insisted upon certain publishers pay ing him considerably less than the sum they offered for a certain article pub lished by them, on the ground that it was more than he had received for g. similar contribution published elsewhere

cLEvELANp's HONESTY.
Money Was No Temptation to Him In
 Any Way.

From Grover Cleveland: A Record of
 Friendship" by R. W. Glider, in the
 August Century.
 In speaking of Cleveland. no one can help reiterating the word honesty All decent people are supposed to be honest and an indifferent reader might well ln- quire, Why such harping on so common virtue? But aside from the fact that thoroughgoing honesty is not absolutely pervasive, certainly in Cievelands case the trait was almost phenomenally de- yeloped. The honesty of the man was In the mind of MT. Taft and of all the memorial speakers. whether they knew him little or much. and most of them knew him well. Two men who in diner- ent times and places, were long acqualnt- ed with him. said to me lately that MT. Cleveland was the most honest man they had ever known.
 A few years ago a prominent editor when talking to me about MT. Cieve- land. expressed a good deal Of admlration and but one doubt. He said MT.

 Climbing on the blind of a baggage car on the Southern Pacific road at Creswell, Or, at dusk one night in 1902 Hammond crept over the tender and into the cab of the engine crew. His appear ance alone was calculated to strike fear into the hearts of his victims. Clad in the vestments of the hero of a wild west show he carried a Winchester strapped over his back, while two long black Colt AS were grasped menacingly In his hands.

 Hammond satirically told the fireman to reach in his pocket for a cigar while he held a gun to his head, and then ordered him on the train to uncouple the passenger coaches from the mail and ex- press cars As soon as the uncoupling was done Hammond ordered the engineer to start up. and. leaving the fireman, the engine and two cars. went on three miles further, when the bandit again ordered a stop. and gave the engineer a cigar.

 It is less in evidence than we were led to expect, however.
 Its chief use is for wear in the automo- bile.
 The models for this purpose are quite as quaint and charming as were those de- signed for our grandmothers in stage coach days.
 In fact, some of them have trimmings of dull, faded soors, which look as if they had come out of the attic trunks.
 Many actually have the old coal -scuttls outline.

Makes His Peace with Jeffries

Ralph Wheelock in the Pioneer Press:
observing that Mr.. James J. Jeffries is to
visit St. Paul today and pay his respects to the
governor the mayor, Chief O'Connor and Sam
Fullerton, we hasten to this distin-
guished exponent of the manly art of physical
culture, raised to the nth power, that any casual
remarks we might have made about him were
intended to be wholly and entirely inoffensive.
For we have doubt that he can train down
for a return to the ring whenever he desires,
and that he pummel the physiognomy and
jar the lateral Stats of any daring son of Ham
who may have the audacity to stand up before
him until the referee will have to interfere to
prevent manslaughter in the first degree. We
regret that pressure of other engagements
will not permit to be in the city when Mr.
JeHries calls, but we have left our proxy with
Empty Caine who will fill our place with
pleasure and satisfaction-to u.s."

The manager of Minnesota Grain Indem-
nifty company, a concern at Minneapolis with
= share holders all over the northwest who have
put up from $5 to $4,000 each, has disappeared
and it is said the investors out total of
$125,OOO. The manager had uptown Offices and
also at the Chamber of Commerce and offered
good returns to those who wanted to take
shares in his grain business. He paid dividends
for while out of the money which the invest
ors put in and got them coming fast. They
paid in their money for stock and got
/, some of it back dividends. In view of ex-
posures in the electric air lines and many other
similar schemes it strange that people
will throw their money into propositions about
which they know nothing and can have no
voice in the management, if they proved
to be practical. But most of the schemes in
which stock is sold are devised for the profit
of those who sell the stock. When PROPOSE
ton is good business proposition you have
not got to pay agents for selling stock There
are plenty of men with money looking after op-
portunities to invest in it. It would seem from
the number of suckers uncovered nowadays
that the lightning rod men could do business
once more if they were on earth again. Fergus
