PENNIES.


A certain housewife, just beginning
her welded career, went with her
husband to an eastern city where
they settled in a flat, depending on
very meager income. Having thus
started into the duties of the house
hold their first watchword was Econ
omy," just as many states are doing
now. The young man would go out
to the store for groceries, make his
purchases and bring back number of
pennies in change. These pennies he
regarded with good deal of con-
tempt, because he came from the big
west where the people scorned to deal
in such small sums.
But not so the wife. She came from
family that knew how to save. SO
every penny which her husband
brought home and threw on the table
with contempt, she laid away in
little glass vase. One day, when the
allowance failed to come, the Young
man fished quite a while with great
solicitation for the few cents it
would have taken to get the grocer.
les for the next meal, At last he in.
formed his wife that he couldn't rake
enough to buy turkey for dinner If
that was what she wanted. And the
young wife went to her glass vase
and brought out S347 in pennies
which tided them ever to the day
when the check arrived.
Now, the moral is obvious. so we
won't mention that. But by the tale
we come to an announcement which
nearly everybody in town knows of
in part by this time, One Of the local
grocers has begun to make change in
pennies, We predict great things
with this introduction of custom
that prevails in nearly every part of
the east now. II will mean that. be.
fore many months, every store in
town, practically, will be making
change with pennies. Moreover, PEG.
pie will be buying closer, watching
pennies and getting more economical
and saving as the years go by. Watch

The obliging Man in White smiled
knowingly just like serving choco-

common everyday thing with him,
and dished out delicious brown lump
of cream that fairly radiated tooth,
some taste. The little two.year-old's
eyes melted with expectant delight, a
smile creeping about his mouth that

in White to bring another spoon SO

other spoon was brought and both the
urchins had an equal opportunity to
eat the dish of chocolate ice cream.

PUBLICITY.

AT last we have had a response from
the public on matter which we
think vitality concerns 1t. In the last
issue of The Logan Journal, some per-
son writing over nom de plume, as
sails us for not making public GER
tain names of young men who had
violated moral laws. This persons
nom de plume was For Publicity"
Imagine big man shouting for pub
lefty for young men who had been
caught at wrongful acts, and at the
same time not being manly enough to
come out into the open by using his
own name! If he would be as useful
to the community as he is solicitous
for the policy of this paper, would he
hide behind a nom de plume in the
discussion of the question of public
ity? A more inconsistent act we hard
" remember having heard of.
We need only point to the editorial
in the same issue of The Journal to
answer the gentleman who writes on
publicity over nom de plume But
singularly enough, in the Issue OF
this paper for the same date that this
attack appeared, we published the
names of the young men guilty OF
this moral wrong. The great moral
force CD that indicted the attack did
not know that our policy is to with
hold names until the accused have
been arraigned in court and have
pleaded. As the persons charged with
the crime had not pleaded we could
not publish their names.
This paper stands for publicity for
such crimes. AS to the language we
shall use in reporting them, that is
neither here nor there. Everyone
knows what it means when the term
statutory offense" is used. If we de-
sire to use that rather than a more
unpleasant term, that is our business.
We think that, in the majority OF
cases, more good than harm comes of
the publication of names of guilty
desire is to drive out that transient
class which preys upon the young
girls of this city and drives them to
a life of shame or into seclusion for
the rest of their day. We are at one
with Publicity for revealing the
names of that sort of people, That
policy was expressed in an editoria
appearing III tulS paper lev lSN, lJlN
and has been adhered to as closely az
mortal can.
For Publicity" attacks this pape
for Withholding names During las
summer we published story about I
young man, that brought out a storm
of abuse from number of peopl,
who said that such publicity was mos
damnable and would give this towr
black name. Only short time AT
ter, this person whose name W,
used, justified by his actions every
thing we revealed concerning him
Other cases can be sighted, but w
think enough has been said concern
ing the ugly problem.
What we would like to have is tn
name of this man We would like /
demand of the Journal his name
he is willing to see young men
names dragged into print in come,
ton with a disgraceful act such a
the officers found them in, will not h
consent TO have his name used in
campaign against such immoral pra,
tees? Let For Publicity" come fort

against the Erectors' Association. When
Burns brought these charges against
us, 1t was not an occasion for us to
mince words. We then said, and we
repeat: Burns has lied throughout the
entire case"
Detective Burns, following Mr.. Com
pers' assertion that he had not spoken
the truth. came back at the American
Federation Of Labor with the charge
heart of hearts that the McNamaras
and McManigal were guilty.
Mr. Gompers demands: How can Mr.
Burns pretend to know what Mr.. Com
Iers thinks in his heart of hearts,? At
the same time Mr.. Gompers presents
the series of kilograms between Nc
Namara and himself to emphasize his at
titude of confidence in the innocence of
the labor leader.
Respects to Roosevelt.
Mr. Gompers has taken as his text the
editorial utterance of ex-President Roose-
welt. printed in the Outlook on May 6,
1911, and entitled Murder Is Murder"
and in conclusion says:
I'VE have now submitted to him and
to the world facts which, in our belief.
serve to show conclusively that none of
needs his appeal to them to act as law
abiding and honest citizens"
Mr.. Gompers insists that Col. Roose-
welt has not read Alright the real senti-
ment of the labor men of the United
States. and suggests to him that he read
more Of the current trades union litera-
ture of the day.
In the course of the portion Of the
article which deals with the controversy
at Los Angeles as to the cause of the
explosion in the Times building, Mr..
Gompers presents an array of evidence,
not collated. tending to show that the
claim put forth by labor leaders of Los
Angeles that the explosion in the news
paper building was caused by gas. and
not by dynamite, is correct. He includes
in this suggestion that the defense will
have enough of such evidence when a
trial is brought about to shatter the dy-
namite charge early in the proceedings.
