Tho 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 IL the
merchant who does \ great deal Of ad-
vertising Is more interested in the cir
culation department Of . Newspaper
than in the editorial department. II .
daily paper goes to the homes Of the
people. and ID read by them. he is salts
ned. 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 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 tho
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 arc often con-
trolled by chronic offlceseekers. whose
first concern Ii 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 indie
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 hve dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he IL ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is a funny COM
bination when you think 1t over

FATALITIES ARE FEW
IN ENGLISH ATHLETICS

BOSTON, Mass. January S.-There IS
a vast difference in the return Of tab
ulations of sport fatalities when those
of American aud England are com
pared. Within the last fortnight the
rules committee has met in New York
for the purpose Of revising the football
code, in order that the danger of the
game may be lessened. While the sug-
gestions offered We're only superficial,
it viii remain for the small committee
to revise the present code and bring the
sport to a state where chance Of injury
and death Will be almost entirely elm
mated.
Some weeks ago number of papers
printed an appaIlingIv long list Of dead
and injured in football. More people
were injured this year than ever III the
game. and the list of fatalities is larger
this year than ever before,
When the small number Of fatalities
in all branches of sport in England IS
considered. America suffers by com
parjSou, It IS interesting to note IN
the recent statistics which have been
given ont at oxford University. Eng

DR.. Brooke Of Oxford, who made the
inquiry, has tabulated his returns from

BNAI BIRTH TO
 HAVE SANITARIUM
Iii Efforts of Charles Jacobson Are Successful The Institution Will Be Established at Hot
 Springs.

If Charles Jacobson is successful, Hot Springs will soon have another great sanitarium, that of the Bnai Brith Association. He goes to Wash. ington March 31 to attend the quad rennial meetings of the Indepent Order of the B'nai Brith of the United States, Canada, England, France and Germany as the representative of Arkansas.
 MT. Jacobson would go sooner but expects to be elected a state senator March 30 and does not care to leave for Washington until the votes are all counted. There will be hundreds of delegates to this convention, which meets but once in five years, and there will be much business of great importance to be transacted. District No. 2, which represents the Southern states. will place before the conven- tion the proposition of a large sani- tarium at Hot Springs for the He brews, to be endowed by subscriptions of Jews all over the world.
 At the same time an effort will be made to induce some of the nations leading financiers, who are Jews, to supply large endowment fund which will erect and sustain the institution. Mr. Jacobson is of the opinion the proposition will be acted upon with favor
 At this convention the delegates will also make demand on Congress to break it's present treaty with Eu ropean nations regarding passports and their recognition.
 At the present time Jews who come to the United States from the Old Country and become naturalized citi- zens, and return on a visit with the proper passport, have in some in- stances found they were not recogniz- ed, which resulted in serious compli- cations and much discomfort to the American citizen before he could re- turn to this country.

Now When you talk Hot Springs to me you hit live wire, and I am going to leave sparks of it from Garland county, Arkansas, through County Kerry, Ireland, then through Essex and Wessex, and clear up to Carlsbad I am going to have the people of that section coming to Arkansas next year for their ills, instead of the baths of the old places they have been vis- iting in past years.'

BOAT TO SUPPLANT
 BELLE OF BENDS

Vicksburg, Miss, March H. Ton Morrisey has bought a steamboat at St. Louis which, it is believed here, is the City of Memphis.
 Before leaving for St. Louis the first of the week he stated that he had under consideration proposition to buy this steamer, and since he ar rived there, he sent message here yesterday morning to Sam Romano, his brother-in-law merely saying he had bought the boat, and would re- l turn home at once Mr. Romano says he feels sure that the boat he means is the City of Memphis.
 This purchase means that the Nor risey line is to altogether eliminate
 from the Vicksburg and Greenville trade, the steamer Belle of the Bends, often referred to as the pride of To- cal waters but which has undergone considerable wear and tear through sinking twice within the past year. The future of the Belle of the
 Bends is undecided. There is one we'll authenticated report in river cir
 cles that she is being offered for sale, and it was reported yesterday that the Lees of Memphis might buy her, repair he weakened parts, and place her among the celebrated Lee 1 line fleet This, however, was mere ly talk among steamboat men, and
 nothing of an authentic character was
 given out.
