NO "NosE FOR NEWS !"

Do you know that an editor or re- porter for newspaper can in his rounds stop and ask a hundred persons "What's the news?" And ninety out of the hundred will reply, "Nothing special" and yet fifty out of that num- Der know something that if not found in the next paper will astonish them greatly and disappoint them more, and perhaps make them madder than hor- nets. Don't be afraid to let the news paper know it.-Yuma Examiner.
 The real difficulty in such cases is that the individual accosted by the newspaper man has no "nose for news" He does not realize that the information of which he is possessed, while seemingly and perhaps actually commonplace to him is very interesting to others. Many time an alert reporter will sit down and "chew the rag" with a man who has just declared he "has no news whatever" and in the course of quarter of an hour passed in the course of ordinary conversation will pick up a half dozen interesting items that the other does not appreciate as real news until he sees it to print.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

The Tucson Tribune recently made the assertion that gentle man who was formerly a merchant in that city had been visiting Will- cox lately and upon his return he stated to the editor that bacon is selling for twenty-five cents per pound in Wilcox, while Tucson merchants charge thirty to thirty five cents per pound. This week a Tucson man visiting Nogales quoted the same prices as those given by the Tribune. If Wilcox merchants'can sell bacon at twenty two cents per pound Tucson traders can do so, and the charge quoted ds simply highway robbery. Yet the president of the Tucson c ham, Der of Commerce has had the effrontery to say for publication 4hat if there were made a reduc- tion in rates from the East (rates for staples in carload lots) which do not exceed two or three cents per pound, the cost of living would be cheaper. It would seem that if Tucson merchants would be satis- fled with the same margin of profit that satisfies the merchants of Wilcox the cost of living in "ye old pueblo" would be about one third cheaper than it is.

FIGHTING FOR EXISTENCE.

The editor is in a position to make more enemies than the average man, so has more people to 'get even" with. If the editor has an opinion, he has the opinion of lot of other people to go up against. If he hasn't an opinion, he is abused for not having one, etc., etc. The editors way to get even is often no pleasanter for him than for the person he gets even with. Getting "even" is poor business unless man is trampled on in violation of all decency, when he is justified in unloading his guns, and the editor who finds this necessary, doesn't use bread pills as ammunition, either. A good rule is never to notice the work Of the. personal knocker till it is positively necessary, and then make the spot you wipe up as clean as a pantry table. No editor will be called upon to do this many times in any com munity. .-Raton Range
 There is considerable truth in the above philosophy from the editor of the Range. Very few editors avail them selves of the opportunity to get even, though. More often they swallow the insult, for duty to the public is the strongest motive with the newspaper men.-Albuquerque Citizen-Tribune.
 Neither of the New Mexican con- temporaries copied above hits the nail exactly on the head. Most frequently the fight put up by a newspaper is not to 'get even" so much as it is a fight for existence. By that THE OASIS means the fierce personal fights in which news papers indulge sometimes. In the ordinary course of public affairs newspapers wage battle, and win and lose without leaving any bit terness, and without results that are in any way unpleasant to either side. In such flights" the news paper waging the war moves and is actuated by spirit of disinter- estedness and a desire for the public welfare, as seen from the point of view of its conductors. But when newspaper goes for blood is when some interloper is subsidized to enter a narrow news. paper field with the idea of cutting from under an established journaI the financial support thought neces- sary to it's existence; as was the case in 1904 when that brilliant luminary, George K.

MEXICO is a striking illustration OF
Nl the way modern business puts ma
tions under bonds to keep the peace.
A naturally turbulent Latin-American
republic, mainly Indian in blood, pays
coupons on its government bonds to
citizens of 81 nations. That Is the
number of countries represented last
year. In 1907, coupons on Mexican
government bonds were redeemed for
citizens of 16 nations.
Every country SO interested. through

ty of the Mexican republic. is an In
iuence on the side of peace and or
der in Mexico. In very real sense
the Mexican nation has given bonds
to keep the peace by selling govern
ment securities to foreigners living
under many flags.
Less directly, but still in ways that
count heavily the sales of private
property to foreign investors are also
equivalent to giving bonds to keep the
peace. In the last quarter Of CEN
tury American capital to the amount
of not less than 81 100000 900. accord
ing to excellent authorities. has been

Naturally, when It is put up to him

deal rather travel and get paid for 1t.

station and enlists. Long cruises cost
a lot of money. but they bring in

reckon that saving of S612,603 year

The secretary will ask congress to
conform the bank bills to the new d.
mensions at government charge for

The work of SO modifying the paper
currency would require IS months. so
that no sudden appearance of the
smaller notes can be expected. While
engravers and printers might be busy.
the scheme would pass into an old
story.
The department hesitates to go for
ward in the matter without public ap-
proval and invites criticism and sug-
gestion. The clipping of Of more than
half an inch In width and 1.28 inch in
length saves so much in paper and
permits five notes instead of four to
be printed on a sheet. The guess how
much longer the smaller note will last
than the present paper can be veri-
fed only by trial.

OF course, no Mexican government

profitableness of such investments
No government of any great power
would undertake to collect from the
Mexican people, as a nation, money to

Americans making unwise invest

of such compulsion.
But every power which has many

country should ever default as a ma

bear upon Mexico can be trusted to
have a deep and wide influence there.
