CONTROLLED NEWSPAPERS.

The Atchison Globe says that nc
advertiser has ever tried to control
its editorial policy, the remark being
occasioned by the charge often made
nowadays that the big advertisers di-
rect the editorial policy of news
papers.
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
circulation department of newspaper
than in the editorial department. If
a daily paper goes to the homes of
the people, and is read by them, he is
satisfied, 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 shoulder those of the edi-
torial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled
by people outside of the editorial
rooms, and good many of them,
more's the pity; but the people exer-
cising that cont,s-1r aIA-not the bust
nssae men VINO pay their money for ad
vertfsing space. The newspapers
which are established for political
purposes are often controlled by
chronic office-seekers, whose first con.
Germ is their own interests. There are
newspapers controlled by great corpo-
rations, and the voice of such news
papers is always raised in protest
against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper
usually 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 peo-
pie who consider it his duty to insult
his advertisers, just to show he is
free and independent If he shows
decent respect for his patrons, who
pay him their money, and make it pos
sible for him to carry on his business,
he is subsidized" or Controlled"
The newspaper owner is business
man, like the dry goods man or the
grocer. The merchants are expected
to have consideration for their Gus
toners, and they are not supposed to
be subsidized by the man who spends
five dollars with them, but the pub

WOoDARD FAMILY REUNION
Took Place on Cedar Lake, Near
Tucker-Happy Affair.

Tucker, Texas, July 1T has been
quite a period of time since l have
| taken the pleasure of begging for a
small space in your dear paper, which
we all enjoy reading at the end of the
week after we have given Mr. Crab
Grass faithful fight; then we can sit
in the shade of the weeds in the
fence corners and enjoy the contents
of the Herald
Health in this part of the vicinity is
extremely good, and every one seems
to be of good spirits, as there seems
to be good prospects if the pesky little
boil weevil does not interfere. A
good rain in this part of Anderson
county would be of great benefit, al
though cotton is not suffering, but
corn will be one-third short unless we
are visited by good rain SOON
A family reunion was the pleasure
of Mr-and- Mrs. e a. Weoderd's fam
hy last week, which was spent en-
tirely upon Cedar Lake. The crowd
was composed of Mr.. Jesse R. Cham
bers and family of Fort Worth, Miss
Jessie Mitchell of Fort Worth, Miss
Ida Stubblefeld of Elkhart, M. L. and

Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Woodland and six

faithful old cook, Aunt Martha. 1t
was quite an interesting reunion,
when H. A, the father of ten boys,
eight of whom are living, NJ L., the
father of one, j. W. the father of
two, making the total of thirteen boys
and not a single girl is to be found
in all this bunch. We all proceeded
on the march toward the lake We'd
nesday and four days reunion was
enjoyed there, as well as the mos
quitoes and sand flies enjoyed our
presence. There was not much luck
catching fish, but good old country
hams and yellow legged chickens are
not bit bad after about three or four
hours fishing in the sun. After sup
per there was spent an hour or so
telling of days when us boys were at ,
home with pa Then music was fur
nished by John and the writer out on :

joyed by Miss Jessie Mitchell, Miss +

The Republican politicians admit
that the attitude toward the national

question II mas faced in Indiana for
many years. The Indiana convention

year and the platform it adopts is ex-
pected to have national significance.
Neither the recent convention or the
indiana Republican Editors conven-
tion or the convention of the Lin
coin state league adopted a resolu-
ton approving the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. Both adopted resolutions praising
senator BeVertdge and urging his re-
turn to the senate. A faction of the
members of the editors organization
advocated that its convention endorse
the national administration's tarfff
policy, but they failed to put through
their resolution.
This controversy has inspired heated
debate in the Republican press of the
state as to whether or not the party
could consistently endorse in the same
resolutions the tariff act and Senator

that if the standpatters insist that the

year-old negro. toward a young white
woman Of this city, a mob of 40 men
took the negro from the custody of
three officers who were conducting him
to a convict farm and lynched him.

of the mother of the young woman who
charged him with trespassing, asserting
that he persisted in lettering about her
home and became insolent when order
ed away.
His trial was held and he was SEN
fenced to a term on a convict farm.
During the trial the negro replied
sharply to his questioners, insisting
that despite his color he was "as good
as any white man."
After the trial Jones was being ta-
ken to a train when the mob over
powered the officers and hanged the
negro from a water tank
The mob quietly dispersed and the
body was cut down.

The reception was held in the beau

hotel and as early as O'Clock a crowd
was there. A temporary platform had
been erected and this was decorated
with American flags and palms. When
Mr. Roosevelt appeared he received a

he was glad of the opportunity to meet
fellow countrymen. He was glad, he
said to see America in the east.
Then he assured them that the lions

which women predominated, shook
hands with Colonel Roosevelt and re-

Chicago, March 26.-Chicago has
lost it's chance to vote on the saloon
question at the election on April 5, ac-

election commissioners.
The commissioners decided the petit

question shall this city become anti

lacked sufficient signatures.
The ''wets' had fled complaint as
serting out of the $4,000 names, 26,12S
were those of persons not registered.
The commissioners sustained this
charge after an investigation and the
prohibition forces declare too little
time intervenes between now and cleo
ton to permit of court action to have
the question submitted to the voters.
This decision nuIlifies the work of
hundreds of prohibition workers, in
cluding many women. who for weeks
stood in the downtown streets, on ele-
waited train platforms and in public
buildings seeking signatures to the pc
titions. According to the "drys'' each
man was asked whether he was a reg
istered voter before he was allowed to
sign.
