You can't get something for nothing
and get it very long. The law of this
world seems to be that we must give up
an equivalent for all we get. 1t doesn't
matter whether it is the exchange of
money for merchandise, or the exchange
of brains and toll for money. The prin-
eipIe is the same. It Is an economic law
of Gods own framing. It is part Of the
very scheme of existence. You know
what it means in mental or physical de-
velopment, in progress in your profession,
in business, or on the farm. 1t means
work. 1t means eternal vigilance. 1t
means intense earnestness. There is no
sane, safe progress without these.
If you want good government, you must
interest yourself in the government and
It's laws. Government is merely yourself
multiplied. You are an integral part of
it-one of the units If you are Indifferent
about your government, your government
viii reflect your Indifference. Good gov
Of work, of intense earnestness, Of bed
rocl; honesty.
You can't leave this work to the other
fellow to do and get satisfactory results.
It is up to you to do your part, and to do
it with the interest of actual proprietor
ship. If you want good schools for your
children, you must interest yourself in
the schools and in their management.
We are too apt to depend upon some
one else to do our thinking and to analyze
our problems. Life Is full of problems.
There are new ones coming up every day,
and there are old ones with new settings,
but these old ones with new settings must
be ge-analyzed as you analyze the new
ones. So you see we cannot depend upon
the thinking Of our fathers and grand
fathers. There is work for us to do in this
respect, and we must do it as seriously as
our fathers and grandfathers did their
work in their day.
The theory that things viii come right
some way, some how, is as pernicious as
hell itself. 1t Is contrary to the eternal
law, which provides that we must give
up an equivalent for what we get. If you
want good newspapers that mean an up
lift to the community-newspape Of
brains and refnement-yoU can get them
by demanding them and by enforcing your
demands. 1t is the same with your news
papers as with your government or your
schools. The standard of your news
papers reflects your indifference or your
vigilance, as the case may be.
In these various talks have proceeded
on the theory that our newspapers are
not what they should ,be and not what
they could be. l am not applying this
criticism to any one newspaper. 1t applies
to our American journalism as a whole,
and the people Of America are more re-
sponsible than the publishers. The news
paper publishers have been for a quarter
of a century in the very stOrm-center Of
the most cruel competition the world has
ever seen. 1t has been desperate war
war unto the very point of humiliation.

All competition IS not good Excess of
competition means waste. 1t means addi-
tional burdens on us. 1t destroys capital,
and renders energy and effort Intellectual.
There is a great economic question in
vOlved in this problem Of over-competi-
ton. For example:
If we were to concentrate our shop
ping-that Is, our purchases--on half Of
the stores that we now patronize, it is
clear that these stores could sell TO us at
a substantial shading below the prices
they are now compelled to charge. 1t
would so increase the volume Of their
business, with practically the sane ex-
pense for rert, insurance, taxes, and help,
that the merchants. could mark their
goods down and still make as much
money as on the higher prices with the
smaller volume Of business.
Secretary Wilson Of the Department Of
Agriculture made an investigation few
months ago Of the retailers profits on
meats. He did this with the purpose Of
getting some light on the high prices Of
foodstuffs, and particularly of meats.
He found wide difference in the range
Of retail profits in different cities The
contrast was most sharply drawn between
Baltimore and Washington. in Baltimore,
an average profit Of Il per cent. on meats
was added by the retailers. In Washing
ton, a city only forty miles away. the profit
was 40 per cent. The chief reason for this
tremendous difference is the over-compe-
tition, the multiplicity Of shops In the ma
tional capital. as compared with relatively
few shops and markets in Baltimore.
This Is what concentration means In
no phase of endeavOr would eoncentra-
ton make for better results than in daily
journalism.
With eleven daily newspapers in Bos-
ton, do you wonder that the newspaper
man has gone over, soUE and body, to the
thrill idea Of journalism, with megaphone
headlines? Do you wonder at It. when
you stop to think that his only chance of
keeping his newspaper alive is to have
a big circulation? A big circulation, with
one-cent journalism, Is vital There Is NO
other chance Of life. All profits must come
from the advertising a newspaper carries
The price for It's advertising is regulated
chiefly by the size of its circulation.
The news and the editorial force and
the rent aud the typesetting and iIustra-
ticls and stereOtyping and business Office
and interest on investment and insurance
all these cost practically the same
whether the newspaper has one thousand
circulation or three hundred thousand-I
might almost say a million-circulation
So you see that the big circulation is
the cornerstone of modern journalism
the whole thing, as a matter of fact. And
big circulatiOns for eleven daily news
papers in town the size of Boston are
impossible except they be forced by sen
sationaIism, megaphone headlines, and
journalistic stunts" Of one kind or an
other.
IF, instead of five morning and SIX
evening newspapers here in Boston, we
had not more than two morning and two

or three evening, the publishers Of these
newspapers would have their big eircula-
ton without breaking their neeIs for it or
departing from the standards Of first-rate
journalism
The argument in this case Is ali in. A
good deal more might be said, but the
discussion has covered the ground suff-
GENTLY to awaken your interest, if you
have any wish to be interested; if you
have any care for the kind Of newspapers
that come into your home and into the
homes Of your neighbors.

The narrow escape Of Congressman
Dalzell from defeat in the primary

SCROFULA HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a. disease manifested usually by a swelling and alteration of the glands, especially about the neck. It is almost entirely hereditary in its origin. being the dregs or re- mains of some specific blood poison. Where the blood is greatly weakened with the scrofulous poison, the disease attacks other portions of the system besides the glands, and then we see it's effects in weak eyes. poorly developed bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, especially on the scalp. ca tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually makes its appearance in childhood, though manhood or womanhood may be reached before the poison pro gresses to the stage of outward mani festation. s. s. s. is the one real cure for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier without an equal. and it cures this destructive blood poison by removing every trace of the infection from the circulation. S.S S., in addition to
