BRASS BANDS OR FIDDLEs.

CLEYELAND,S GREAT GROWTH.

a LII things considered, perhaps the city of
n Cleveland Ohio has made growth in pop
ulation more remarkable than that of any other
city. During the last twenty years Cleveland has
doubled in population until it has become the
largest city in Ohio and one of the
greatest in the country. Its present population,
recently announced by the census bureau is 560,0O0
The rate of growth in the last decade has been
400 per cent and Cleveland is larger than Pitts
burg In fact, it has become rival to Pttsburg
as the Ohio city is nearer the source of iron sup
plies and almost as close to the coal supplies.
Many other cities in Ohio have made percent
age of increase in population to the surprise of
those who have been predicting that the new census
would show that the cities because of the back
to the farm agitation we're not keeping up with
the rapid pace set some years ago So far as the
census figures are concerned there is no indication
of any real back to the farm" movement. The
great and continued growth of cities will he ac-
companied by continued high cost OF living.
There is little likelihood Of a serious OF more than
temporary break in prices.
The fact that Cleveland and most otiei cities
have made much larger percentage of increase
in population than Wilmington should set our
people thinking what can be done to advance the
interests of this city. If some. positive efforts
are not made, we likely to reach a stage Of
stagnation. Wilmington should have more indus
tries and the great natural advantages Of the city
should be the magnet TO draw them here.

coUNTRrS WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor-
nous proportions Within a Few
Years.

The production of oil In the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time of its discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.
1t remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the wild
eating operations Of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts OF
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad.
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does great deal of ad.
vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department Of newspaper
than in the editorial department. If
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
Of his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many Of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic ofilceseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts OF
times; there are people who consider
it his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he Is 'subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends Ave dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age Of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think 1t over
