A Good Idea.

Congressman Campbell has in.
troduced a bill in Congress with
which we are in accord. The
bill provides that railroad COM
panieS shall handle the express
business on their lines, and il
makes it compulsory that they do
so. AS the matter stands now,
the express companies are com.
PEELED to charge enough to make
a profit on their capitalization,
and also enough to pay the rail-
road companies for hauling their
express cars. Congressman Camp
BELLS idea is that with the rail-
road companies hauling and hand
ling the express that the charges
could be cut in two, inasmuch as
he says the railroad companies
get half of the express companies
receipts for hauling the cars,
anyway.
We believe the bill will meet
with popular favor, but it may
have hard Shedding, for the ex-
press companies will surely main
tain a strong lobby to oppose the

No man in any town should allow any
newspaper published in his town, to 60
out without his name and business being
mentioned somewhere in its columns.
This applies to all kinds of business,
general stores, dry goods, groceries, fur
niture dealers, implement dealers, lum-
ber dealers, manufacturing establish
ments, automobile dealers, mechanics,
professional men and in fact all classes
of business men. This does not mean
that you should have a whole, or half,
or even a quarter page "ad," in every
issue of the paper; but your name and
business should be mentioned, even if
space. A stranger picking up news
paper should be able to tell just what
business is represented in a town by
looking at the business mentions in the
paper. This is the best possible town
advertising. The man who does not
advertise his business does an injustice
10 himself and to his town. He is the
man who expects the newspapers to do
the most free boosting for his town.
The man who insists on sharing the
business which comes to a town but re-
fuses to advertise his business is not a
valuable addition to any town. The life
of any town depends on the live, wide
awake, liberal advertising business men.

WHEELS OF MINT MAY STOP.
Law Passed by Congress at Last Hour
Will Discontinue Gold Coinage.

Under law passed in the last hours
of the recent Congress, all the United
States mints, including that in Denver,

for several years, according to Congress-
man A. w. Rucker, who returned from
Washington last night.
"a law was rushed through Congress

said he, (which will close our mint and
injure the small mine owner.
"The law provides that the mints shall
not coin gold for the present, but shall
accept gold in 81 900 deliveries, in return
for which certificates will be issued.
That law means that the man who owns
a small gold mine must wait until he
has accumulated 81, 900 before he can
take his bullion or his gold dust to the
mint. In the meantime he has pay
roll and other expenses to meet. But
when he takes the bullion he does not
receive any money in return. He re-
ceives an acknowledgment that he has
that much gold stored with the govern.
ment.
"Under the law only the Philadelphia
and San Francisco mints can issue these
The Denver mint can re.
ceive the bullion, but the certificate must
come from San Francisco.
"It is bad law, but was passed at the
suggestion of the treasury department,
which wishes to reduce the expenses of
operating the mints. Under the law no
gold will be coined in Denver, and
probably the mint will be out of COM
mission for long time. The treasury
department declares there is no short.

And then he thought his back would break
In Just little bit;
He told us that his legs were sore,
Aud soon IL was his hip,

When father has the grip.
The doctor came today and left
Some capsules and he said
To take one each three hours until
The pain had really fed.
Said pa: THAT means twelve hours before
give this pain the slip.
I'll bet he'd find faster dope
II he had got the grip"
And then he told ma that he thought
That he was going to die,
And ma says: "NO; that isn't so,"

Sweet Pea Not Royal Choice.

In vain did gardeners and horticul-
turists in England try TO push the
claims of the sweet pea as a corona,
ton flower. Queen Mary has decided
that the pink carnation Is the blossom
she will carry.
The Windsor, which is a deep pink,
Is the carnation she particularly fav-
ors, but the Lawson, a cerise carna-
ton; the Enchantress. which is pale
pink, and the Mrs. Joliffe, which is sal
mon pink will also be fashionable du-
ring the season. The Worshipful Com
pany of Gardeners have begged to be
allowed TO present the coronation bou-
quet and the queen has agreed 10 ac-
cept 1t from them, so they will keep
the rarest and most perfect Windsor
carnations obtainable for the royal
bouquet
abf tv l Ind rdlu rdl rdlouoouo
One OF her reasons for preferring
the carnation TO the sweet pea as the
flower 10 be used is that the weather
Will probably be very warm at the
time Of the coronation and the sweet
pea fades very easily while the car
nation does not droop in the heat.
