Masses Want Reforms.

The masses of the people in the
Democratic party and in the Re
publican party want the progrec-
sive reforms of our day. The spe
cial interests and lawless classes
which include most Of the corpora
lions, the saloon advocates and the
professional politicians, do not want
progressive reforms. All tue
statesmen, all true teachers of So
GEOLOGY, all the professors in our
universities, that are not cnfuenced
either by tainted money or the IN AN
n n In which they hold their places,
are for the progressive reforms.
The professional politicians oppose
those reforms, because they know
that when the people get these re-
forms their position and prominence
must necessarily 60. Else no re-
form.-M +. Snlder, In West Tn.

Dividends Cut to SO Per.
Cent.

Staggering under the terrible
blow handed out to it by the
United States Supreme court, the
oil trust has recovered sufficiently
TO hand out checks for dividends at
a measly 3G per cent. per annum.
The disbursement was made by the
Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey, alleged TO be the daddy oreapi-
zation OF the trust, and was at the
rate of 80 per share for the first
quarter Of the year. This is the
same as was paid for the same quar-
ter last year For the same quar-.
tiers in the years from 1905 to 1910
inclusive the company paid 80 a

MIR. Heller Retires.

{. VIM. Heller has retired from
the active editorial responsibilities
of the Cabell Record and will take
vacation, alter which he will prob.
ably devote his time and energy to
other business enterprises. Miss
lnez Jordan will be the future bus.
mess manager of the Record. Mr..
Heller says:
'Several causes have contributed
in deciding us to make this change
III the management. One of the
major causes being the financial
stress through which this country is
now passing, and which has affected
the printing business just as it has
many other business enterprises.
Also, We think that the people of
Milton and surrounding country
have not shown a proper apprecia-
ton of or manifested any real inter.
est III the Record during the past
hlteen or sl> teen months, and We
think that results will not Justify US
IN devoting the same amount Of en-.
ergy to the business nor try to at
tam higher standard unless given
proper support. One of the minor
causes for making the change is the
fact that the present editors health
has been impaired somewhat owing
to the confinement TO the office and
diligent application to the duties
involved upon the editor and pub
Usher Of a newspaper, and he thinks
1t would be beneficial to change his
occupations"
Very few towns the size Of Mil
ton give a local newspaper the prop
er support. The late James r..
Dudley, it is true, made a success
.of the newspaper business at Milton
because ne was a practical printer
and good one. As general
thing, however, one who is not a
printer himself can make more
money at almost any other business.
