Thirteen Years Ago in
Defense OF the small
Newspaper
The following is an extract
from the praeeedirgs of the
aouse of Representatives on
March 2, 1898. It is we'll worth
reading. The House was cor
sidering the Loud bill, which
proposed to increase the postal
rates on country newspapers
and 10 adopt a number of re-
strictions on their transmission
through the mails. Chsmp
Clark defeated the bill by his
speech, q portion of which fol-
lows:
Newspapers are great dis
seminators of information.
The mammoth metropolitan
papers with their vast circula-
ton are splendid educators, but
after all ten persons read the
little country paper where one
reads a metropolitan paper.
Having once been a country
editor myself, l entertain a
most kindly feeling for my old
confreres. l am willing to
make affidavit that the eleven
months spent editing a rural
journal were the most benefi-
cial of my life to myself, per-
haps to others. l am proud to
have belonged to the editorial
guild. | am unalterably op-
posed to anything that will in
Jure the country editor, curtail
his profits, circumscribe his
usefulness, or place an addi-
tional thorn in his pathway.
The rural editor-God bless
him!-is the most persistent of
teachers. Like charity as de-
scribed by st. Paul in the thir-
teenth chapter of the First
Corinthians. he "suffereth long
and is kind" which can not be
said of the men that got up
this bill. He "envieth not" in
which he does not resemble
some people over on this side of
House. He "vaunteth not
himself" in which he il differ
entiated from the leaders On
the other side of the big aisle.
He sis not pulled up" in which
he rises high above a good
many of US. He "dces not be-
h,ve himself unseemly: seek
eth not his own: is not easily
provoked"
He is the pack horse of every
community, the promoter of
every laudable enterprise, the
worst underpaid laborer in the
vineyard. Counting his space
as his capital, he gives more to
charity, his means considered,
than any other member of So
ciety. He is a power in poll
tics, a pillar of the church, a
leader in the crusade for better
morals. He is prominently
the friend OF humanity.
Line upon line, paragraph
upon paragraph, day by day, he
is embalming in cold type the
facts from which the Herodo-
tus, the Tacitus, the Sismondi,
or the Macaulay of the future
will write the history of our
times. [Applause]. He JOY
ously announces our advent in
to this world, briefly records
our uprisings and our down sit.
tings, and sorrowfully chroni.
cles our exit from this vale of
tears.
AS a creator of beauty, he
double discounts Nine. Aver,
who undertakes to increase
feminine pulchritude only in
particular instances; but the
country editor, in the exercise
of plenary power, impartially
beauties all women whose
names appear in his columns.

labors most of us would never

propitious for secret meditation

Working night and day during
the campaign, often, without
money and without price, when
the election is over, the victory
won and The loaves and fishes,
now vulgarly called "pie," are
to be distributed, by some
strange lapse of the human
memory, he is generally for
gotten.
Horace Greeley was certainly
one of the greatest editors the
world ever saw. His letter to
William H. Seward in 1854, an
nouncing "the dissolution of
the political firm of Seward,
Weed, and Greeley, by the
withdrawal of the Junior part
ner," is one of the wittiest,
most caustic, and most pathetic
epistles in American literature.
Horace's wrathful statement,
part Of which l quote, would
easily fit many another rural
editor. After stating that in
1887 Weed and other friends of
Seward asked him to run a
campaign weekly paper, he con-
tinues:
They asked me to fix my sal
airy for the year. l named
$1,000, which they agreed to;
and l did the work required to
the best Of my ability. 1t was

himself would have called

Two Great Minds Which Run
In the Very Same Channe!


In the Very Same Channel
As fast as men get well-to-do
in the small towns they begin
to think of leaving for the city.
A good many of them do so to
get away from the small towns
feuds and factional contests.
The small town banker, fight
ing for his business, tries to
exert more influence, in the
city government, in the church,
in politics and in the social af-
fairs than his competitor, the
other banker. Each little
church organization fighting
for its life helps on the church
feuds and the social jealousies,
and these, with business and
political rivalries, make the few
people in the little town hate
each other and want to get
away. A boosters club would
save to the small towns many
good families who would be
happier and more useful in the
small town than they are in
he city. Sioux City ia.

ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION.
Nav Measure to Meet Objections of the
GalInger Bill.

A bill for the incorporation of the
Rockefeller foundation has been intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Peters Of
Massachusetts. 1t was referred to the
committee on judiciary. A bill along
the same lines was introduced In the
senate in 1910, but publication of the
terms of the proposed charter aroused
criticism. 1t was reintroduced I'm
amended form i'm June, 1911, and it Is
In this form that 1t has just been in
troduced In the house.
In the original bill it was stated the
object of the incorporation was Ito
promote the well being and to advance
the civilization Of the peoples Of the
United States and its territories and
possessions and of foreign lands,'
which terms opponents said were too
broad.
The first important amendment states
that congress may at any time impose
such limitations on the objects Of the
corporation as the public interest may
demand Another amendment provides
that the total amount OF property shall
be limited to $1O0.O00,OO0.

DISTRIBUTION
OF AMERICAN
Where Billion Dollars Worth
OF Goods Made In This
Country Went.
NHE distribution to the world OF
the billion dollars worth of
manufactures exported in the

the billion dollars worth OF
manufactures exported i'm the
year just ended Is the subject
OF much inquiry among the manufac-
turers of the United States. The bu-
reau of statistics of the department
OF commerce and labor recently an
nounced that the value of manufac-
lures sent out of the country had for
the first time crossed the billion dollar
line, the total for the calendar year
1911 of merchandise sent to foreign
countries and to Hawaii and Porto
Rico having been S1.002. 100000 and
that this total is practically double
that of decade ago.
These inquiries as to the destination
or the billion dollars worth of manu-
factures sent out of the country and
the various parts of the world i'm
which this increase has occurred has
led the bureau Of statistics to the
preparation of a statement showing
the distribution, article by article, to
the various sections of the world.
grouping these for convenience of the
study according to grand divisions,
showing the value of exports to Eu-
rope, North America, South America,
Asia, Africa and Oceania respectively
In 1911 and at the earlier period In
which the total was but half that of
today.
Comparing the exports of manufac-
lures In 1911 with those of earlier
years, the bureau finds that they have
increased 100 per cent, or doubled in
value since 1902, and therefore COM
pares In detail the figures of 1911 with
those of that year. It finds that In
this nine year period, In which the
value of manufactures exported dou-
bled, the Increase, measured by per-
centages, is: To Asia, 36 per cent: to
Africa, GA per cent; to Europe, 40 per
cent; to North America, 15S per cent,
and to South America, 24S per cent
The actual gains are foiiowrs To
Africa In 1902, $11 100000; IN 1911,
$1S,0OO,OO0, an increase of $1,000, 600;
to Asia In 1902, $44,O00,000; In 1911,
$50, ,OOO, 900, an increase of $4,000, 900;
to Oceania In 1902, s29. 100000; in 1911,
$57, 700, an increase of $2S,OOO,O 600;
to South America in 1902, $27 ,0O0, 900;
In 1911, S94.00O,OOO, an increase of
$67, ,OOO, 600: to Europe In 1902, $234,-
100000; In 1911. 1897 100000, an in
crease Of $1e3,00O,OOO, and to North
America In 1902, 100000, 900; in 1911,
$281, 600, 900, an increase Of $172,0 ,0OO,-

ONE ToED MEN IN FUTURE.
London Surgeon Makes This Predic-
ton, Giving His Reasons.

DIR. II. Clement Lucas, In an address
at the Royal College Of Surgeons, Lon
don, predicted that men might in time
become a one toed race.
The little toe, he said, had already
lost one Of its extensor tendons and in
quite an appreciable percentage of
eases one of its fiexor tendons was alb
sent also. On the other hand, the
great toe had undergone extraordinary
development because the inner side Of
the foot was the first to catch the
center Of gravity in transferring the
weight of the body from one foot to
the other In walking.
Ii the world went on long enough,
In perhaps 100000 years the useless
outer toes, being less and less employ
ed, might gradually disappear.
