Controlled Newspapers.
q recreation of 1t.

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 a great deal of ad-
vertising Is more interested In the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes Of the
people, and Is read by them, he is salts
fed. and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own, and he isn't trying to shoul-
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 oficeseekers, 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
1t his duty to insult his advertisers.
| just to show that he Is free and inde-
pendent. II he shows 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 five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected &c
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age Of his friends. It is funny com
bination when you think 1t over

Y0UNT UNIFORMITY BILL
IS HIT BY EDUCATORS
Ohio Teachers Association Adopts
Strong Resolution Against State
Uniformity Of School Books.

Cedar Point, o., - Educators
Of Ohio to the number of 1000 attend
ed the annual meeting of the Ohio
State Teachers Association here. The
session was marked by two important
incidents-the teachers refused to lis
ten to an address on equal suffrage and
they took unanimous action against
state uniformity OF school books.
During the last session of the legis-
lature the Yount uniformity bill was
passed by the senate and was lost in
the house. The educators Of Ohio do
not want uniformity considered again
and they voice their protest in the fol-
lowing strong resolution:
I'VE believe that the educational
value OF school process IS and practices
should be paramount to every other
consideration. We are therefore op-
posed to all efforts which would aim
to establish system of State Uni
formity in the selection of textbooks,
because we believe that such a sys-
tenn would be a hindrance to the pres
ent progress of our schools"

Watch Your Refrigerator.

You'll save many a doctors bill by
watching your refrigerator. Keep 1t
absolutely clean all the time. The best
way to clean 1t is to take clean hot
water, make suds with Easy Task
soap and wash every nook and corner
in the ice box or refrigerator. Then
the food doesn't get smelly and carry
disease germs to the table. Easy Task
soap, being made of pure cocoanut oil,
borax, naphtha and clean tallow. is an
tiseptic as well as cleansing. 1t Is a
wonderful soap-and a nickel cake.

aggregate at the mines the sum Of

NAVIGATION

Captain Schulze recently asserted. at
the Missouri River Navigation Congress
that he could build a reinforced con-
crete wall along one side of the Missouri
river, from its mouth to Fort Benton
for the money it would cost to build
and equip railroad for the same dist.
ance. Captain Schulze is a civil engi-
neer OF reputation and standing and un-
undoubtedly knows what he is talking
about. lf this is true the reclamation
of the Missouri and the maintenance Of
navigation thereon is much simpler
proposition than has been supposed.
ltis not necessary to wall both sides Of
the stream to keep it within the con-
tinement, nor even all Of one side but
only at those points where the current
cuts into the banks at its windings.
There strong walls should be built and
with that done the current can be de-
pended upon to clear the way. These
walled spaces will therefore alternate
from one side OF the river to the other
side as the current crosses over and
perhaps if one half the entire distane
be walled the confinement of the wat
ers will be effected and the channel for
navigation made.
1T was suggested at the Congress
that fifty million dollars would be sutfi-
clent to place the whole river in navig-
able condition and keep it permanently
SO. If it can be done for this figure, or
any thing like it, the public cannot
spend the sum to better advantage for
