SOMETHING NEW IN NEWS

/
Theodore Stanton, son of the late
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. who was
known as a woman of considerable or
lglnality of thought, has returned from
tour of the capitals of Europe with
a very large-sized idea in his head It
was there when he started, but it has
grown amazingly since, and he has
simply got to work it out in order to
enjoy any mental peace.
His idea is that of establishing a
great international daily newspaper,
and he has selected Paris as the place
for the print-shop and the French Ian
guage as the mode of expression. It
Will have no policy and no dominating
character He expects to get lot of
international advertising, which will
place the venture on its feet in a finan-
cial way. and if all international read
ers In the world become subscribers
its success is assured.
News Of the world in general has
no part in this unique daily. 1t does
not care to know about great fires, or
murders or accidents or even of con-
Ventions unless they are international.
The story of some petty boundary
quarrel between two South American
nations presumably would take prece-
dence in its columns over a civil war
or the destruction of an entire city by
an earthquake. Except as other ma
tons are mixed in it. probably the cor
ondtlon OF King George would be dis
missed in a paragraph. The value of
news would by it be measured accord
ing to an entirely original standard.
However Mr.. Stanton, who is to be
the managing editor, has the whole
world before him, from which to pick
his material, and it is quite possible
that he may be able to interest that
part of the public to which he shall
cater. If he succeeds, the entire credit
is his. If he fails. it will be due to the
dense stupidity of the reading popu-
lace.-Ottawa Republic

SOME uNHEEpEp LAWS.

Did you know that the new game
law makes it unlawful to kill squirrels
except between September 1 and jan
uary Well, it is a good thing to
know. Under the former law there
was no closed season on squirrels, all
though the Trainer of the former law
had intended that there should be. But
in drawing up the law he described
the squirrel as ''the red squirrel" when
he should have described the ordinary
Kansas squirrel as "the fox squirrel
Under the new law It is unlawful to
kill any other kind of squirrel but the
fox squirrel at any time during the
year. and the fox squirrel can only be
killed between dates nemed. Also,
ladies. did you know that under the
new Kansas game law it is unlawful
to wear birds on your hat or any part
of the plumage of song birds? Well.
the law says that it is unlawful not
only to kill any of the song blrds-ex-
cept few of them under certain con-
ditions for the protection of grain or
orchards-but to even have any part
of such birds in ones possession. And
it specifically provides that it does not
make any difference whether the birds
were killed in the state or outside the
World.

Robert Davie, the boy broker of
Boston. who was recently brought
home from South America on a charge
of embezzlement has formulated
many and divers suggestions for re-
forms in the conduct OF the Boston
jail. Among them is that beans should
be served to the prisoners instead of
boiled peas That should be brought
about by all means. 1t is little less
than cruel and inhumau treatment to
cOnhne Boston folk in fail and substi-
tute boiled peas for their accustomed
diet Of beans.

FROM OTHER PENS
PLENrY AND PRosPRR1rY.

The crop experts disagree only by
how much the wheat crop will exceed
the greatest on record. The cotton
cipherers do not disagree even about
that, there being a general under
standing that a cotton crop larger than
ever known is as sure as anything of
that sort can be so early in the season.
We do not know anything about the
corn crop yet. for the wheat is heading
before the corn is all planted, and
some is even already cut. Never was
there such a margin for the pessimists
to white at. On the grains the guam
titles will recoup some reduction in
price. Cotton quantities and prices are
UP together, and the shelves of the
merchants are bare.
In bulk never was there such ample
provisions for filling stomachs and
freight cars. There will be all that
either men or animals can eat, and at
prices enabling them to eat it. Already
the number of idle cars is lessening,
and shortly every idle wheel will be
turning. This is as true of spindles as
of car wheels. Unless all of a sudden
the world has stopped wearing cotton,
the operatives of the world must soon
be as busy as the railways. Congress
we have with us, but the supreme
court has ground it's excellent grist,
and will alright the timorous no more
for while. The presidential election
is another crop away. Let men get
busy with their hands instead of their
mouths. and then the country will see
what it shall see.-New York Times.

manager of the reciprocity bill in the
senate. has privately and publicly re-
quested the majority who are going to
pass the measure to refrain. from de-

wholly superfiuous, and Senator Pen

discouraging the waste of time.
