A NORWEGIAN WORD.
Origin Of "Budstikken." Which Means
"Spreadins the News"

"Spreadins the News"
This peculiar word Is frequently
found in Scandina Wan communities as
the name OF a newspaper. such as St
Cloud Budsrikken. 1t is a Norwegian
word. 100 years old at the least and
has very peculiar origin.
In those days. when the coasts OF
Norway were ravaged by pirates. the
inha bitants had to resort TO all sorts
of devices to warn those ut q distance
of the approach of these piratical craft.
When one was seen on the horizon a
man went up to the top of a mountain.
could be seen for a long distance and
was known TO be a warning. When
1t was seen in the distance another
fire was lighted on another hill until
all over the country fires blazed from
every hilltop and the people prepared
to defend themselves.
They also had a system of messen-
gers. The man who first sighted the
sail would take an arrow and send 1t
to his neighbors. From town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
ways of telegraphing, but were SO ef-
fectual that in the course of twenty
four hours all Norway knew of the up
proach of pirates.
This system of spreading the news
was called ''budstikken." and when
there were no more pirates the news
papers became spreaders of the news
and SO We're appropriately styled bud
stikken."-

Starting tonight, the Lewis & Oil
yer Players will offer the great Eng
lish melodrama, mot Guilty" The
first act shows the brokerage offices
of one of the biggest corporations in
New York, and the killing of the old
broker. The plot deals with the am
billions of an old man to marry his
daughter to a man of his selection. AS
is usual it is not her choice. This
play adapts itself readily for stock
purposes. 1t has just enough of the
melodrama to make it intensely inter

scenery will be used in the play. Seats

IEATON POSTOFF|CE
JOB IS NOW OPEN
POSTMASTER Albright Has Re-
signed to Return to His
Newspaper Duties.
palladium Specially


EATON, o., June 27.-To assume
the active management of the Eaton
Register, a weekly publication, Charles
E. Albright has rendered his resigna-
tion as postmaster, although such &C
tion is not generally known because Of
alleged efforts to avoid publicity.
Who will succeed to the position is
not yet known, although it is currently
reported that Hon. Oscar A. Gale, an
ex-county auditor and active worker in
the county's Republican ranks, has be-
come an enthusiastic aspirant for APP
pointment. In view of the fact that
the county central and executive COM
mittees have not yet been asked for
an endorsement, it Is not known just
how far the efforts of Gale have pro-
crossed.
e. Recalling similar actions of these
boards in endorsing applicants for like
positions, 1t becomes. readily apparent
that Gale might win without recon-
Imendation. When the postoffices at
Camden and Lewisburg were made va
cant the committees named their
choice, but in both instances Senator
T. 4. Burton and his former colleague,
Charles F. Dick, OVERRIDE the en-
Edorsements and selected their own ap-
Ipointees.
Following the death of the late Ed
mund J. Albright, who was associated
in the newspaper business with his
brother, Postmaster Albright, the
infant and business of the Register was
taken over by the latter.

No Extra Session This Year

The Age -Herald's special dispatches from the capital lead to the conclusion that an extra session of the legislature will not be called. This change in the situation is due to the fact that the deficit at the end of the fiscal year was less than had been expected, and to the further fact that the governor can secure all needful money during the remainder of his administration.
 Governor O'Neal has issued no call for the filling of the 15 vacancies in the legislature, and these vacancies cannot now be filled at the November election. This is regarded as evidence that an extra session will not be con- vened.
 As things stand an extra sesion is improbable until the close of the pres ent fiscal year, and by that time an extra session may not be needed at all. Governor O'Neal deserves the thanks of the people for tiding over the crisis without hastening to con vene the legislature. Governor Jelks got along without an extra session, and Governor O'Neal pretty clearly intends to emulate his example.

of these five campaigns there was any more money contributed than was nec- essary and useful and justifiable. The record of five democratic campaigns sustains this statement.
 But when one turns to the five op- posing republican campaigns large corruption funds are encountered at every step. Publicity acts, and best of all public sentiment are, however, at last working a revolution, and the corruption fund will soon be thing of the past. Mark Hannaism will stand in history as one of the re- public's deadliest enemies.
 Already a federal law forbids cor porations from contributing to federal election campaign funds, but better than all law is the public sentiment which condemns all engaged in the collection of slush funds.
 Treasurer Wells of the democratic national campaign of today is living rigidly up to the sentiment of these times. No trust-no one seeking gov ernment privilege or favor-can con- tribute to the democratic fund. That fund may not exceed $500,00o, but whether it be large or small there will be no suspicion of taint in it. When Woodrow Wilson goes into the White House the partnership between the favored interests and boss-controlled government will be ended, it is hoped, forever.

Slush From Trusts

The Clapp committee is uncovering and establishing by direct testimony one slush fund after another. Both wings of the republican party are about equally guilty. While Brother Charlie was handing out $213,592 to aid his brother-really all trust money-Dan Hanna passed over to Roosevelt S177,00o. These great gifts outrank even those of Prick, Harri- man, Archbold and even Morgan. Mark Hanna set the pace in 1896 and from that time down to the present day money has been used to turn, in the words of Hartman, voters. No republican campaign in Is years has been free from corruption and the money in each of the five campaigns including the one of this year came in the last analysis from monopolists.
 The use of corruption funds cannot be truthfully charged against the three Bryan campaigns, or the Parker campaign, or the Woodrow Wilson campign of today. No evidence has been brought out before the Clapp committee charging that in any one

THE TONsoRIAL ARTIsT

From the New York Telegram.
 One of the English critics of our insti- tutions has been studying the American barber.
 'The highest art of the barber" he says, lis reached in the larger cities of America. where the assistants are colored folk. An extraordinary number of pro- cesses are in vogue, and the customer who leaves the shop on payment of less than half dollar is lucky.
 Indeed, the visit to the barber is a daily function of importance, and in the more up to date saloons the chairs are connected with the telephone exchange. so that the busy New Yorker may keep in touch with his stock broker while his hair is being cut and singed.
 "One revolution in the practice of sham pooing has of late years been noticeable. and that is the change from wet to dry. The wet shampoo necessitated crouching in an uncomfortable attitude over none too sanitary waste pipes. not to mention the frequent experience of having the eyes filled with stinging julep.
 "The dry shampoo, which is equally eff fectual In cleaning the scalp and cooling the head, does away with such discomfort, and though the use of spirit lotion may cost the barber trifle more, the labor entailed on him is somewhat less
 There is, in fact, but one cloud on his horizon, and that Is the safety razor, which, if possible, prejudices the profits of the ships barber even more than those of his colleagues on shore. since many who habitually shave themselves at homo never dreamed of doing so Sn a rolling ship before the invention enabled them to disregard the frolic of the waves and to remove their daily beard without fear of disaster.
 "Everywhere. however. at sea and on land the safety razor is source of la- mentation among barbers, and tn eirony of the situation is that the stress of com petition compes them to stock and sell the very instrument of their own undo- ing"

CHARMS OF MRS. SULZER

all the dicipline it implies, has given her boise and understanding.
 According to the wife of the guberna- torial nominee. theirs was a post card TO- nance. She met him at dinner party given by wealthy woman in this city nearly 10 years ago.
 MT. Sulzer was one of the IS guests" she said. T was there simply as friend of Mrs. -, and the curiously interested man who sat opposite me wasn't even known to me by name. I saw, however. that he was interested, and after the din- her, in the drawing room. Mir. Sulzer sin gled me out and devoted the rest of the evening to me. He asked me all about myself, and I told him I was a trained nurse. He left shortly after that dinner for Alaska. where he goes each year to hunt big game. and we corresponded- mostly on postcards-and as I was busy with my profession I saw little of him the winter he returned, and so it was postcards from Washington instead of Alaska. The next summer the same thing occurred and the next winter postcards filled in much of our story.
 ''The following year I went to Europe and he went to Alaska-with more post cards But after five years we were mar ried, and hope we never may be far enough apart to tneed postcards again"
 With Mrs. Sulzer yesterday was the mother of the democratic candidate fer governor, who came over from East Orange to congratulate him on his great honor. T am not surprised. she said. that William has become the democratic candidate, for he has worked for % years fervently for better democracy. He ought to win if a good, honest, unselhsh man can win so great an office"
 Mrs. Sulzer Sr., by the way. is of Scotch-Irish descent, while his father was German.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Years ago. in certain town where Everybody knew everybody else and private business was public concern, a
 girl of unusual promise was born, and
 nursed. and schooled. and developed into young womanhood.
 All the town knew sallie McGeechey. sallie was the best reciter in the town high school Sallie could repeat poetry like an ancient harper. Sallie was un-
 derstood to have strong predilection for the stage.
 Nobody wondered then when Sallie
 started for the big town across the
 state. where budding stage neophytes
 could be lowered into Charlotte cush- mans. or Clara Morrises. or Mary An dersons.
 Everybody who knew Sallie was quite positive she would balk at no round in the ladder that led to the stars lor the company of the stars. With
 such an early promise the center of
 the stage alone should be her goal. Rumors of Sallie's progress came back from the big town. They were all favorable. sallie was towering aft Ter the fashion that ripening genius
 should follow. Soon the townspeople heard she had made successful debuit and was a member of a prominent dramatic organization. Months passed, the dramatic organization was on the road, Sallie was playing Shakespeare! And then, for one night only, the company descended on the town. The play was Shakespeares immortal trag-
 edy of Macbeth" and Sallie's fellow Itownspeople. with few exceptions, were
 there to greet her local debut. Eagerly they scanned the programme The cast of characters was long and exhaustive. It testified eloquently to
 the strength of the organization. The
 townspeople began at the top, with Duncan and Malcolm, and so on down to the porter" and the "old man." Then they began with Lady Macbeth. No, sallie wasn't playing that. Lady Macduff? No. The gentlewoman attend ing Lady Macbeth? No. Hecate? No.
 The first, second and third witches? No.
 Sallies friends breathed hard.
 First apparition-an armed head ?'' No.
 Second apparation--a bloody child? Yes
 There it was--"Sallie McGeecheyw Then they settled back--a good deal broken up, perhaps-and watched the
 grim old play, and heard Sallie pipe her
 mouthful of words, and presently went
 home, still somewhat dazed and not altogether happy.

The Tuberculosis Work

The more that is known of the Anu Tuberculosis associations work the more heartily it is approved by the nublic. In this era of philanthropic en- deavor all large communities have hos nitsls. orphanages, homes for incura- bles. rescue homes, free dispensaries and societies for the prevention or cruelty to animals. The Ant1-Iuber- cu,osis association of Jefferson county is one of the newer institutions but already it has done noble work, ana with continued help on the part or generous citizens it's scope will be greatly broadened.
 The city of Birmingham had been contributing s250 month to the as- sociation, but in the new budget that amount was cut down to S100. The officers and directors had hoped to receive a much larger approprlation
 
 than heretofore, and they were natur- ally discouraged when the amount in stead of being increased was reduced. The commission probably took the view that in it's work of retrenchment the amount appropriated for the anti tuberculosis cause ought to be brought down to the maximum appropriation for other well known institutions.
 A committee representing the as sociation will call on the commission this afternoon for the purpose of urg- ing a reconsideration of the $100 ap- propriation. They will seek to make it clear to the commission that the Anti Tuberculosis association has peculiar claim upon the city at this time. It is hoped the commissioners will find a way to act favorably upon the representations that will be made this afternoon.
