NEWSPAPERS AS CHARITABLE INSTITUTION

Did you ever stop to think that
newspaper is charitable institution?
There are are, however. times when
the charity of the country editors
seems to have been wasted on barren
soil and on such occasions he is
justified in refusing to again extend
the same charity to the same persons
; who fail to appreciate his efforts says
the Elgin News.
Such cases have come to almost
every editor in his career. How
many of them have sat up nights
studying how to assist some candi-
date to land the office he is seeking?
How many of them have spent
column after column of their paper
telling of the virtues of certain lodges,
societies, churches or individuals in
an effort to assist them over rough
places in their journey?
How many have donated space
and advertising to the successful
accomplishments of some public
enterprise only to have that same
church, society, individual or officers
of the enterprise as soon as their
ends were obtained, rush off to
another printing house or 20 to the
city to have all their printing done?
This too often the case and
though it is hard indeed to kill the
charity of a country newspaper man,
such treatment is the surest way to
do so.
Yes, the charity Of the country
editor for his fellows is surely great,
but even this may be overworked
and abused sometimes.

Plenty of Them in Bemidji, and Good
Reason for 1t.

Wouldn't any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
Days of misery, nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,
She finds relief and cure?
No reasen why any Bemidji

Should suffer in the face of evil

with highly satisfactory results and
can truthfully recommend them to
anyone suffering from Kidney COM,

dull pain in the small of my back,
which caused me much discomfort.
Other symptoms showed that my
kidneys were disordered and when
| saw Doan,s Kidney Pills adverti-
sed for such complaints, I decided
to try them, procuring box at the
Owl Drug Store. I used them care
fully as directed, the pains disap-
peared and my kidneys became much
stronger. I am confident that the
relief I received from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills will prove per-

HURRIED TRIP TO new YORK
Harriman's Physician May Have Been
Consulting Specialists.

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 2j.-Dr. w. G..
Lyle, the physician in attendance upon
3. H. Hartman, made a flying trip to
New York. So far as known here DR..
Lyle's visit to the city had not been
contemplated and this fact led to re-
ports that the physician had made
careful diagnosis of his patients case
since his return to, Arden and had
gone to New York to place his conclu-
sions before specialists. Mr.. Harri-
man continues to devote his time to
resting and he sleeps considerably
during the daytime.
Since Mr.. Harriman's arrival here
Tuesday not more than half dozen
persons outside of the immediate fam
lily and employees of the estate have
been allowed to enter the grounds
surrounding his home. The con-
valescent now has with him his entire
family and their devotion to him is
shown by the fact that they rarely
leave the estate.

CLERICAL FORCE FOR

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 4.-(Special
Correspondence of the Republican,
The United States civil service COM
mission announces that a very small
proportion of the applications thus far
filed for the examination to be held
the census bureau are from the resi-
dents of the more distant states.
AS the census act provides for the
apportionment of appointments among
the states and territories in accordance
with the law of apportionment, the
commission calls attention to the fact
that present indications are that these
distant states will probably fail to re-
ceive their full share of the appoint
ments unless more residents of such
states apply for the examination. II
is expected that about three thousand
appointments will be made from the
examination. which is scheduled to be
held on October %, 1909, in all the
states and. territories. These appoint
ments will be for terms of six months
to two years. and will average about
one year in length. The entrance
salary will be 5000 per annum. and
promotion to at least $500 per annum
will be reasonably rapid for those who
render satisfactory service.

Meantime the popular interest in
these articles is in itself a phenomenon
that may well engage the attention
even of Mr.. Roosevelt's enemies. It is
said that an enterprising concern in
New York recently dressed up a lot
of men in Rooseveltian costumes and
put them through an African lion hunt
before the moving picture camera. and
that the receipts from the exhibit the
first week were $4,000 | understand
the news dealers orders for the Oc-
tober Scribner are 10 per cent larger

so per cent in the east and 100 per
cent in the west
But the surprising thing is that the
interest on the other side of the At
lantic is almost equally keen. The
London Telegraph has bought the Sc
rial use of Mr.. Roosevelt's articles for
a good round sum. The leading pub
fishers in Paris. Hachette & Co. have
bought both the serial and book rights.
and the same is true of Berlin, so that

Australia.

them to establish, abolish and change

that section any authority of the court
to compel any change by the Board of
supervisors of election precincts. Par
agraph 2s04 of the Revised Statutes
provides that the board of supervisors
of each county must establish con-
venient number of election precincts
therein and define the boundaries
thereof where possible.
In my opinion if the court has
power to compel the board of super
visors to establish these two precincts
contended for. it must be found in that
section. The board of supervisors
must establish a convenient number of
election precincts Convenient is de-
fined by the photographers to be, in
its primary meaning, fit, suitable,
proper, adapted to an end The word,
tested by those meanings as given,
would seem to me to mean not only
that the election precincts must be
such as may be in the Sec
ondary meaning of the word, conven-
lent TO voters, but adapted to the end
desired.
Tested by that definition, where
the legislature requires by its enact
ment, or, rather, where the legisla-
ture specifics by its enactment, that
ballots in the town shall be counted
from those outside OF the
town in justice precinct, the estab-
lishment of merely one election pre-
cinct therein by the board of super
visors, preventing the counting of bal
lots in two separate places as speci-
fled by the legislature, would not seem
to be proper or adapted to the end
which the legislature had in view.
Bearing in mind, as | say. that it is
the duty of the court to carry out the
will of the legislature where possible.
It seems to me this section of the
Code requiring the board of super
risors to establish convenient election

q Especial study of the influence of the
church. He says in conclusion:
What is the true attitude of the
church toward the master question of
Irish politics? Does the hierarchy real
ly and sincerely favor an autonomy
which sooner or later would infallibly
loosen and then destroy ecclesiastical
control of popular education? Con-
fronted with the choice between sac
rificing its hold over the schools and
sacrificing home rule, which would it
choose? Is the church in its secret
heart nationalist first and Catholic af-
terward. or Catholic first and nation
alist afterward? Finding in England
and the English connection, and the
political bargains to which that con-
nection gives rise. an effective and
durable bulwark against an educated
laity already muttering in revolt, is it
genuinely anxious to see the barrier
torn down? These are questions that
admit at present of no clear and de-
cisive answer Even to consider them
is to find oneself launched on a vast
and all but trackless but not neces-
sarily Improbable ocean of specula-
ton. / think. however, that sooner or
later the Irish intelligence will burst
its clerical leading strings and insist
on mapping out for itself the lines of
its future progress. Movements of
discomfort. in and out of the church,
