Newspaper is Public Football

A newspaper is the thing which everyone in town knows how to run except the editor. It is what an oven should be, for "roasts" on everyone except himself, members of the family and a few of your most intimate friends, for whom it should be sweet scented bouquet of praise.
 It is what the young man, who borrows 1t from the saloon bar. kicks about because it contains only one sporting page, and which the woman tells her neighbors when she takes it back, is not worth sub scribing for because it has only one page devoted to fashion and mak- ing currant jam.
 It is what you want to see the editor keep your name out of as soon as you have settled with the police court the morning after, and to get your name into as soon as the cards have been issued two weeks before.
 It's just what is too horrid and inquisitive for anything, and please keep my name out when the re- porter wishes to know about the bridge whist club, and which is the mean. old thing which never gets anything right when your name is omitted ''among those present. ,
 It is what no one forgets ever to condemn for its mistakes and never remembers to praise for the good it accomplishes.
 It is subsidized organ when it fails to tell about the millionaire S wife running away with the poach- man and ibelous rag when it re- ports your neighbor S pet rooster
 It is what is difficult to print so as to suit any and everyone and which would be nothing but sev- eral pages of blank paper with a headline if it were printed to suit everybody.-Binghampton Repub- lican.

FORMER Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who attended the republi- can national convention, says that it is the first body of that kind he has seen in fifty years where neither of the leading candidates have a ghost of show of election. That is the way the democrats feel about it, and in over confidence lies their greatest danger.

Ends Hunt for Rich Girl

Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when the man meets woman who uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves tell in a bright brain and even temper. Her peachbloom complexion and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from firm, free muscles; all telling of the health and strength Electric Bitters give a woman and the freedom from indigestion, back ache, headache, fainting and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere they are woman's favorite remedy. If weak or ailing try them; soc at all druggists.

A JUDGE in Milwaukee has again ruled that no law requires news paper man to divulge the source of confidential information, and that he may not be made to testify in court. It is also in line with com mon sense and justice. It goes with out saying that reporter who habitually discloses where he got his information would soon cease to be a reporter. The ethics and character of modern journalism de- mand this measure of protection both to the newspaper and the re- porter. There are other professions, the ministry, and medicine, for in stance, whose votaries are protect ed in similar confidential relation. Over and over again the courts have held such secrets inviolate.

SOUTHERN DELEGATES

For several years, says the Albu- querque Journal, there has been talk of reducing the southern repre- sentation in the republican national conventions. But it is not likely that anything will come of it at this time for the reason that in nearly all cases convention majorities are made up in part by the southern contingent.
 But there is good reason for the proposed reduction. The votes cast by republicans in many of the southern states is so small as to be ridiculous. For instance, Louisiana has twenty-six delegates in the na- tional convention, and the total vote cast for Taft in 1908 was less than 5000. In Mississippi the republi- can vote is only little more than 1000, yet that state has twenty delegates to Chicago and in South Carolina the republican vote is only little more than 5000, yet the Palmetto state has eighteen dele gates in the republican national convention.
 To make the situation. more clear, the states of Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jersey and Michigan have a total of 120 delegates in the national convention and gave the republican candidate for president in 1908, not only all their electoral votes, but cast for his electors, l, 139, 795 votes. While the states of Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina have 12S votes in the Chi cago convention and cast for the Taft electors only 109, 235 votes. Of course there was no thought of a republican vote in the electoral col lege from any of them.
 Under the present rule, the re- publican national convention is com posed of two delegates for each sen- ator and representative in congress. The proposition is to apportion it according to the votes cast at the previous election for the republican candidates for electors.
 The scandal of the delegations from a number of the southern states, who represent nothing but a desire for office, has grown to snch proportions that the party for its own self-respect must put an end to it. Representation should be based on the vote cast, as is the case in all state conventions regarding county representation.
 After the nomination such reform can readily be accomplished. The anomoly of permitting a large block of delegates from states where there are nearly no republican votes, to hold the balance of power in the convention and name the candidate that other states must elect, if he is to be elected at all, can be and should be speedily terminated.

Globe Sights
(Atchison Globe)

Isn't it queer what awful risks people will take?
 Every busy man gets a lot of ad- vice from loafers.
 Nor is it ever possible to recover lost opportunity.
 The less business your competi- tor does the more you are apt to think of him.
 A son doesn't need to do better than his father to convince his mother that he has.
 As a general rule, a sport is a young man who didn't have to earn what he pays for it.
 An industrious man may some times be under suspicion, but he can usually work his way out.
 Hope is tire that is not imper- yions to the punctqres of reality.

An Ancient Ailment

When it is story of extraordi- nary official impertinence, it us- ually comes from Kansas.
 The town of lola, fairly well known because of other strange and strenuous happenings, has ''put the lid" on tobacco; and a dispatch from that town asserts that men habituated to the use of the weed made frantic appeals, to the physi- clans in order to get prescriptions for cigars and "chewing.''
 It is passing strange, however, that any American community still believes in petty coersion, in mat ters which might better be left to individual conscience and iudg- ment.
 It was the old New England way to say ''thou shalt" and ''thou shalt not;'' yet it will not be held that the world is not vastly inn proved since those old blue law days.
 The kindest people are those who best know the virtue of tolerance. The happiest communities are those which hold the individual largely responsible for his own acts. But lola is not the only community where no discovery of this fact has been made. -Ex.
