Notes to Correspondents.

Write only on one side of the paper, separating items with some blank space.
 Always mention day of week things happen, when possible.
 Write names plainly and spell them correctly.
 Have no favorites in your community. Treat everyone alike.
 When you are out of stamps, enve- lopes or paper notify us at once.
 Write your letter regularly every Monday evening or Tuesday morning, or sooner if practicable
 Make your news brief and to the point. Tell it in the fewest words pos sible
 . When you come to town call on the publisher and get paper, stamps and envelopes.
 We want the news, nothing but the news. No politics, no comment, no jokes, no clippings, no ancient history or discussion on religious topics.
 In order te insure publication get the correspondence here on Tuesday after noon. The last form closes immedi- ately after the arrival of the afternoon trains on "Wednesday.
 Do not mention some families every week and neglect others altogether. When writing your newsletter each week let your mind travel over the en- tire vicinity, and stop a moment or two at every home. Then think of some event worthy ofmention that has trans pired in that family during the previous week, or visits, social gatherings, etc, to occur in the immediate future.
 Supplement your reports by calling us later by telephone if you have one or can reach one easily. We want the news while it is news.
 Again we wish to remind you that cases of sickness should not be men, toned unless they at least border on seriousness. While such is news in a sense, to mention all such is to make your letter monotonous to an extent and makes the country appear to a stranger as not being healthful.
 Save these suggestions.

THE man is not necessarily a knocker who finds fault with certain existing conditions in town in which he lives. So far from being one of that class he may be doing the place good service. This is assuredly the fact if he wisely and consistently strikes at evils which lower the moral tone and make the town q less desirable place in which to live. It requires no argument to prove that the best interests of community can never be advanced by anything that breeds disrespect for law and order, and weakens the moral and social fiber of it's citizens.

OF all the cranks the crankiest is the chronic pessimist. He is always 'whin- ing like half-starved dog with a tin can tied to his tail. When the sky is beautifully clear he is positively certain that everything will dry up and there will be scarcity, When the gentle rain begins to fall, he laments and is afraid the crops will be spoiled. He is always expecting some great calamity, misfortune of some kind, or of being laid up with rheumatism. No matter how rosy the apples look, he is afraid that they are wormy at the core and can't be kept until Christmas. The country is going to the bow-wows and everybody is dirty and dishonest rascal. His own peaceful and pro- gressive town is all right but he is con yinced that it never will improve so very much. He himself enjoys ex- cellent health at present, but he is sure that he won't live long.

SOUTH BOUND TRAINS.
WHY THE GOVERNOR CHANGED,

Two years ago Gov. Donaghey recommended to the legislature that the old state house should be kept by the state. lie thinks different now and explains his position in the follow ing interview:
 Two years ago I did suggest to the legislature that the ownership of the old state capitol should remain with the state. Since then, however, l have learned a great deal about the state s business matters that never knew be- fore. At that time 1 knew little of the demands upon the state for various ap- propriatons and l did not know then that large part of my time for the two years to come would be taken up in listening to appeals for my influence in securing money from the state. l did not know then that the state $ finances were in as bad condition as they were and 1 did not know at that time that when the legislature adjourn ed it would leave me with $500, 900 more debts to pay than there was money in the general revenue fand with which to pay them. At that time l had not heard the plea from the deaf mutes and from the blind that have since heard; I had not seen the grave necessity for money to educate the boys and girls in the University and State Normal College and at that time did not know there were 50 many insane people that could not be accommodated at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases. Nor had I heard the strong voice of the farmer pleading for 3 school in which to teach his boys and girls how to grow crops by modern methods and become experts in home building. had not seen then, as l have seen since, the pale faces of the victims suffering from the great white plague, as they looked when they were bidding their state a lingering farewell to go to the other states that offered them the relief they sought.
 Co hIIOH SIlCiG 10 GL lOI OL SClIlI ment about the grounds and walls of the old statehouse, but there is also sentiment attached to the things have mentioned and they are matters that cannot be put aside. Yet l have not made any recommendation regarding the old state capitol to the present legislature. That body has at this time task on it's hands to the i'm mensity of which l fear it is not yet clearly awake. It must raise about $1,000, 900 more money for the general revenue fund than the present rate of taxation will produce in the next two years. It must do this withoutincreas- ing the burdens of taxation on the peo- pie who really support the state, and l fear that by the time this is done the old capitol matter will have adjusted itself "

IF we would not make any mistakes we would either exhibit ourselves in dime museum as a most wonderful freak, or go directly to heaven as altogether unfit for this imperfect mundane life. But, thank fortune, we prove humanity by the very mistakes that we make. Everyone makes mis- takes in his profession, but the mis- takes of a newspaper editor are spread out for all to see. There are some persons who find great pleasure ap- parently to eriticise and to abuse us because of an error in grammar, spell ing or punctuation. Or if we omit an item or report an event not perfectly correct, then somebody will call us all sorts of most disagreeable names. But very few persons really know what it is to ed.t newspaper, and therefore, we are ready to forgive and to forget all manner of fault finding.

Now IS good time to take glance over your backyards and devise some plan to dispose of the fruit cans and rubbish which have accumulated since the last installment was removed. You can generally judge of the oc- cupants of house by the condition in which the front and back yards are kept. In a general sense we all pride ourselves on being cleanly and tidy. Home and its surroundings, above all places in the world, should be scrupu- lousIy guarded against contamnating influences

LAFE YOUNG MAKES
JOURNALISM
SPEECH
TELLS A FEW OF HIS IDEAS OF
HOW A NEWSPAPER SHOULD
Do THINGS.

Columbia. Mo, April 18.--Punctuat
ing his remarks with excerpts from his
own experience as an active newspaper
man, former Senator Lafayette Young
of Iowa tonight told the students of the
University of Missouri of the great
responsibilities and the equally great
opportunities Of newspapers az mould
ers OF public opinion. lie said In part:
Every year adds TO the power Of
the press. Every year adds To the edi-
tors responsibility The people are In
hurry. They read the headlines. As
a consequence, the editors responsible
ity ~ transferred to the headline
writer. The headline writer who ex-
aggcrntes commits an offense against
journalism which Is without shadow OF
excuse"
OF politics Mr.. Young said:
Though party lines are not clearly
defined, there has never been as much
Misrepresentation In politics In the
history of American life az in tile last
eight years. What living man knows
the exact truth about Ballnger or
Pinchot? What paper furnishes the
exact facts without malice? What
newspaper should subscriber take to-
day 10 get the uncolored news from
the national capital2
Every politician of any note In the
national capital Is compelled to have n
news bureau Of his own. The most
successful statesman has one OF the
best bureaus.
There are some exceptions to these
rules. There are men In public life
who do not do these things. and there
are newspapers which do not do them
We can all wish that there were more
men and more newspapers above such
proceedings
