REQUEST Is DENIED.
Roosevelt viii Not Be Given Tickets
10 Convention.

Chicago.-Colonel Harry S. New.
chairman of the subcommittee on ar
rangements for the national republi-
can convention, received a request
from Senator Dixon, head of the
Roosevelt committee, for $50 tickets
to the national convention for the
Roosevelt national committee. to
which he replied that the committee
would be unable to grant the re-
quest.
Colcnel New explained that in
other conventions the national COM
mittee had never recognized candi-
dates in issuing tickets of admission.
Four years ago l50 tickets were CIV
en- to President Roosevelt and none
were issued for Mr.. Taft. This year
the committee has arranged for $50
tickets to be given to President Taft
for the use of his friends, cabinet
officers and government officials,
and no provision has been made for
the supporters of the candidacy of
Colonel Roosevelt.

MAKING BUSINESS FRIENDS AT
HOME.

When you desire to raise money
to put through a business PROPOSE
ton, do you board a railroad train
and seek it from capitalists in some
distant city?
Well, not very often. You go down
the street calling on every one in
sight, and come back on the other
side.
And yet some of us who have Of
ten asked for business favOrs ofour
home people in the past, and will ask
for them again, do not hesitate TO
spend money freely and needlessly in
patronizing the merchants of other
cities, often, too, to our distinct dis
advantage.
1t is an excellent principle in busi-
ness to stand by the people that stick
to you. The man who buys every
thing possible at home creates a cir
Gle of business friends who appreci-
ate his loyalty and would like to re-
turn it in so far as they can. These
business relations lead to personal
friendships, and they bring returns
not from self-interest alone, but from
ties of neighborliness and good-fel-
lowship.
A great many things in life go by
favor. When two propositions look
about alike, you choose the one that
is backed by the man with whom
you have had some friendly relation.
Every time any one buys at home he
creates that relation, and the fruit
age is likely to come back with a
surprising amount of compound in
terest some day, and it often comes
from unexpected quarters.
The person who buys goods of
some distant concern never gets any
thing in the way of reciprocity or
return. He has cast his bread on
waters that flow away, and will new
er return. Who in the big mail or
der house knows or cares about him,
save as one cog in the vast machine
of distribution to be ground through
the days work without the slightest
feeling of personal friendship or reci-
procity?

THE NEWSPAPER.

The newspaper is a business en-
terprise, which is conducted solely
for the good OF the community and
the health of the publisher. 1t re-
quires very little ready money TO
start a newspaper, but it generally
takes the united efforts of all the
banks in town to keep it going.
Every once in a while some financial
genius, who has TO remove his collar
to write a three-line local, takes hold
of newspaper and makes it pay
large, juicy dividends. thereby invt-
ing Immediate competition in the
form of a third paper. 1t is usually
necessary to invest four or five quar-
ter sections of land and eighteen
hours day TO bring a morning daily
to the point where it can stand alone.
without leaning on the mortgage rec
ord. The most productive form of
newspaper is the farm journal, which
gives itself away, along with a foun-
tain pen, in order to be able to lean
upon the advertisers in leaps of 40
cents an agate line. Newspapers are
edited by pale, thoughtful men in
shirtsleeves, who employ their time
sorting out words which people have
to look up in the dictionary. Editors
usually have an assistant, who writes
pert and pithy paragraphs. and acts
as the goat whenever the city council
becomes peeyed. Newspapers are nor
50 prosperous as they were when the
editor accepted everything on sub
scription, from a Peachblow potato
to a washing machine. People are
more cruel TO newspapers than they
used to be- as they expect the editor
to pay part cash and the remainder
during the lifetimes of his heirs and
assigns. Some newspapers are print
ed in such a hurry that Typographical
errors creep in and transform the
managing editor into gibbering
maniac, Others are so leisurely that
they are still running the story OF
the Johnstown flood in plate form. !
Newspapers are cheap, but they are
MT half so cheap as the man who
knows just how they ought to be

UNIFORM MILEAGE is TOPIC.
State Railroad Commission Arranges
Meeting of Passenger Agents.

Salem, Ore.-The railroad COM
mission has two important matters
which will be taken up in June. One
is the question of uniform mileage
system. A conference will be held
June with the passenger agents of
all the railroads in the state, at the
state house. and system of inter-
changeable mileage books will be dis
cussed
The other matter relates to log
rates and is of much importance to
the state at large. A hearing is
scheduled to be held at Baker on
June 10. The log rate case of the
Sumpter Valley Railroad will be TAX
en- up. The intention is to include
in this the general service and prac-
tice of the road The question of log
rates takes in log-grade traffic,
which all railroads handle in greater
or less degree, and for that reason
the hearing will be of much concern,
not only to the logging interests in
Oregon, but in adjoining states as
well.

MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

And why are not the newspapers
of New York and Southampton par
TALLY responsible for that Titanic
horror? We mean the newspapers
that were in close touch with the
conditions of ocean traffic and ac-
cepted the advertising that promotes
such traffic.
Every day steamers were leaving
New York or the foreign ports with
inadequate life-saving apparatus and
the newspapers gave no warning con-
cerning the death traps. Suppose
that just one newspaper had an
nounced the day before the Titanic
heaved her anchors something like
this:
THE Titanic sails tomorrow. Her
passengers and crew lists total $500
persons. She has life-saving appa-
ratus for 500"
Suppose that some similar an
nouncement were made concerning
the passenger ships that are leaving
daily now. The owners of the steam
ship lines care for profits only, as
horrible facts prove. Such announce
ments would mean adequate life
guards or no profits. This would
surely touch the only vulnerable spot
in greed. No legislation would be
required. Just an honest two-line
statement OF facts by newspapers
whose great mission is supposed to
be presentation Of facts OF interest to
the public.

MEDFORD'S MISTAKE.

The taxpayers of Medford endorsed
the act of the common council in
spanking the press of that city for
criticising the acts of the council in
diverting to other and illegal chan
nels thousands of dollars of tax mon
eys leyed and collected for road pur-
poses, by adopting a measure curtail-
ing publicity of city affairs.
That was the biggest mistake ever
made by the people of our neighbor-
ing village. They have destroyed the
only really effective check the peo-
pie can have upon the ever-growing
tendency to extravaganza and cor
ruption in municipal government.
If economical and efficient govern
ment ever is brought about it will
be so only through the fullest pub
licity of every transaction of the gov
erning body. The people complain
of high taxes, but they do not know
what is done with the tax moneys
collected. Everybody now believes
that half, or more. of the tax moneys
collected are squandered or stolen.
but they do not know who steals
them, or how they are squandered.
They are unable to fix the RESPONSE
bility for extravaganza and graft be-
cause they do not know, and poll
ticians are well aware of it. And so
we have men seeking places of power
and trust, not for the purpose of
serving the common good, but with
private schemes to promote at the
expense of the public treasury. The
result is high taxes and little bene-
fits.
There is Just one thing will stop
it; to let the people know. The only
sure way to do that is to make it |
on the council to publish
all OF Its transactions, and to give
the people ample notice of every un-
usual proposed expenditure. that
they may have their proper day in
court.
The other phase of the question
the Withdrawing of material support
from the newspapers and thereby
them-is no less important.
The city or community, under mod
ern conditions, that has been able 70
develop and prosper without news
papers, is yet to be found. The news
papers of community contribute,
without cavil or cost, more to the
development and prosperity than any
other ten agencies combined. The
individual merchant spends money
for advertising in the newspaper be-
cause he finds that every dollar ju-
diciously expended returns substan-
tial material profit. So it is with the
Every dollar expended
judiciously in legal publications not
only affords very profitable and
necessary protection against fraud
and unwise expenditure of public
but it brings about direct
development worth tenfold the cost
A community simply cannot prosper,
in these modern days, without news
papers, and the better the newspaper
the greater the material develop
ment
Therefore a niggardly policy to-
ward the newspapers will surely re-
suit in less prosperity to the commun-
ity.

WANT A CHANGE.
Resolutions Committee VIII
Favor New State Laws.
Committee Will Report to Kan
sas Teachers Tonight.

As stated in the State Journal ten
days ago the resolutions committee of
the State Teachers association under
w S. Heusner, who was nominated
for the presidency of the association,
will present resolutions at the session
this evening of an unusual nature.
The committee it is understood will
favor constitutional amendment that
will take the office of state superin-
tendent and county superintendent out
of politics. The committee will rec
ommend that the state procure the
services of the persons best qualified
for the positions.
1t is also rumored that the commit
tee Will favor asking the legislature
to appoint an educational commission
to investigate and study the REQUIRE
ments of the public school system in
the state. This commission is to be
asked to recommend change in laws

The teaching of sex hygiene and
lie schools. 1t is believed that the
cause of temperance would be ad-
vanced more rapidly were the subject
agitated in the schools.
1t will be recomm ended that school
houses in Kansas shall become social
and civic centers for local communi-
ties.
Free tuition for high schools will
be advocated by the committee. The
committee does not deem it fair to
impose a fee upon some Kansas pupils
and not on others.
Basis of Organization.
Another rather radical change that
the committee will propose will be
that of making the county a basis of
school organization instead of having
the district as the unit. The commit
tee, however, would leave the organiza-
ton in cities of the first and second &c
it now stands.

Republican Club Is Formed in jack

Washington, Nov. S.-President Taft to-

port and cooperation in his plan to per-
petuate the principles of the Republican
party by the organization of a national

throughout the country. The president
