At the midsummer meeting of tho

the editors was called to the opposi-
tion Of Mr.. Hicks, the GiIpin county
misfit in the lower house of the
Seventeenth General Assembly,
against bills that were introduced,
requiring school boards and city
councils to publish statements Of
money expended and for what pur-
poses the money was spent. Mr.. Hicks
fought these measures, not because
Of any lack of merit or because he
regarded them as needless legislation,
but because Of the spits and anti
pathy he held for newspapers for
whose monetary benefit he felt that
the passage Of these bills was sought,
these newspapers, many Of them,
having told the truth about this
worthy, which cut to the quick. He
pronounced these bills graft meas
ures-an extreme blunder for ono
with so wide an experience In graft
to make. Now, the newspapers would
have profited very little through the
publication Of these reports as they
would have been brief and the space
occupied small. The cost would have
been trivial compared to the i'm

Writer Pleads That at Least a Year

The Medes and Persians were an
nnyielding and an arbitrary people,
but 1t is not recorded that they had
lation requiring that the baby must be
named within ten days. The name
must be filed with the board of health
within that period. 1t cannot be
changed without proceedings so diff
cult and vexatious that most people
will prefer to leave the name as 1t
stands or will change 1t without legal
sanction.
Surely no one should be obliged to
name his baby in less than a year. Not
only the board of health. but doctors,
nurses. friends and relatives-especial-
ly relatives-should be forbidden un-
der pain of temporary ostracism from
asking that embarrassing question:
We'll. what are you going to name
the baby?" If you don't name him or
her as soon as 1t is born they are
scarcely able to disguise their pity for
you. The doctor, perhaps. is not to
be blamed as much as the others.
The law prods him on. He has got
to get 1t on the books within ten days.

les are oppressive and unjust. They
know not charity nor the rudiments

conception of the torture which the

First of all, there's the dictionary.
It's long enough-the lord knows But
no one realizes how few good names it
contains until he has attempted to get

or months together. Always with the
same result! He flies to the family
genealogy and the genealogies of all
the collateral branches. Result no bet
ter! He calls in his friends. even
his enemies. But they cannot help
him. He becomes subject of melan-
choly and a hopeless pessimist But
this Is not all. Possibly a boy is ex.
pected-and after great tribulation a
boys name Is selec:ed-but the baby
turns out girl. Or vice versa.
The process must begin all over
again. with the knowledge Of what

Talk about your local option towns.
over to Grand junction where a
bunch Of pulpit warmers (recent arri-
walls from the east) have converted
once broad, liberal, prosperous
western city into a reIisiousy prohi-
bition town. It's that kind Of prohi-
bition that doesn't prohibit, they've
adopted over there. They closed all
the saloons and simultaneously with
the closing of the thirst parIors
there opened a generous number Of
"bIind tigers" to harbor boot-Iessing,
with some bIack-Iessins. Instead Of
frequenting saloons in that thirsty

Peach city Of walking up to the bar
and getting what you want and then
pass on, you are now asked to "step

How to XIII Your Town.

The first rule laid down by the De-
troit Free Press is to buy of peddlers
as much as possible.
Denoence your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of Il man who
has done much to build up the town
Make your town out bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them
with eXtortion
If stranger comes to your town
tell him everything is overdone and
predict a general crash in the town
in the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
on the best method of increasing
business.
When you have anything to say of
your town say it in such a way that
it will leave the impression that you
have no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion of your own, and then de-
nounce yours for not being as large
and cheap as the big city papers.
If you are a merchant, don't adver-
tise in the home paper, but buy a
rubber stamp and use it. 1t may save
you a few dimes and make your let
ter heads and wrapping paper look as
though you were doing business in
one.horse town.
If you are farmer, curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on
earth. Talk this to your neighbors
and tell them the business men are
robbers and thieves. 1t will make
your property much less valuable, but
then you don't care.
