Newspaper Law

Judge James Ellison, of the Kan sas City court of appeals, handed down the following decision in the case of o. D. Austin of the Butler, Mo-, Record, vs. Burge, other mem- bers concurring, and published in l37 Reporter, SIS:
 "The preparation and publica- tion of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continually taking it from the postoffice re- ceives a benefit and pleasure aris- ing from such labor and expendi- lures as fully as if he had appro- priated any other product of an others labor, and by such act he must be held liable for the sub- scription price"

Model School Building

On the site where 175 school chil- dren were burned to death, at Col lonwood, Ohio, in 1908, there has been erected school building that is model for safety, beauty and convenience. It is claimed that 1t is as near being fire and panic proof as it is possible to construct a building. There are twelve class rooms and an exit for each room. The entire building can be emptied in two minutes without using the main halls. Steel doors are used at the main entrances and steel doors also separate the class rooms from the halls. Door and window castings are of steel. The floors are laid on concrete and the roof IS concrete. The corridors and cloak rooms have finished cement floors. Each room is ventilated without opening a window. An electrically operated fan provides the ventila- tion. Heat is furnished from 6 separate building.
 After the burning of the school with its great loss of life, the talent of the country was put to work de vising a school house in which the children would be safe, with the above result.

A Weak Argument

The argument advanced by those who are requesting the board of di- rectors of the California prisons that they parole Abe Reuf is that he is no more guilty than many others who were not punished, says an ex- change. That is about the weakest argument it is possible to advance. It is absurd that a sensible man should sign a petition containing such an argument. There are thousands of guilty men who are not in the prisons; does that mean those who are in prison should be given freedom? The courts daily free guilty men. Justice is blind in many instances, but is that to be taken as sufficient cause to release those who were sent to. prison when justice could see? By the same token we should take from him Rockefeller wealth because the rest of us should have become rich and didn't.

Is Your Name Printed There? ?

No business in any town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentioned some where in it's columns, says an ex- change. This applies to all kinds of business-general stores, dry goods, groceries, furniture dealers, manufacturing establishments, me- chanics and professional men and, in fact, all kinds of business men. This does not mean that you should have a whole half or even quarter of a page ad in every issue of the paper, but your name and business should be mentioned if you do not use more than two line space. A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able to tell just what business is represented in a town by looking at the business men, toned in the paper. This is the best possible town advertiser. The man who does not advertise his business does an injustice to him self and the town. He is the mar who expects the newspapers to dc the most free boosting for his town
 The man who insists on sharing the business which comes to a towl but refuses to advertise his bushes
 is not a valuable addition to an. town. The life of any town de pends upon the live, wide awak' and liberal advertising men.

Quaker Meditations
tPhiladelphia Record)

It is never too late to unlearn.
 He who minds his own business is kept too busy to do much else.
 No man is so lowly that there isn't somebody he can look down upon.
 A man seldom realizes how fast he can go until he gets on the down grade.
 The poorer a man is, the more he talks about what he would do if he were rich.
 The man who thinks only of his stomach does most of his thinking after it is too late.
 The pen may be mightier than the sword, but both are dangerous in inexperienced hands.
 If we could all know exactly what people think of us, what an unhappy world this would be.
 ''The truth will stand forever, " quoted the Wise Guy. "That's right" agreed the Simple Mug, ''but lie generally gets a seat"
 Many a mans fortune, in round numbers, is 5000, 900, GOO, etc.
 A man never realizes how much furniture he owns till he comes home late at night and tries to get to bed without turning on the light.
