ST WANT MY MILEAGE!"

Il want my mileage; 1 need it,
and so do my creditorsi" cried Rep
resentative Thomas (democrat), of
Kentucky. In presenting a resolu-
ticn that the House adjourn
November %. "I am from a repub-
lican distric-,' he added. "and it
takes money to get people to vote
right in my district"
With matters of import pending
the President is holding Congress in
session. If adjournment is taken
members collect in cash their mileage
of twenty cents for each mile travell-
ed in coming to or leaving Washing
ton.
The classic Macedonian cry, Come
over and help u.s. is almost over
shadowed by that from the Ken
tuckian. 1t strongly recalls Flanna-
gan's What are we here for if not
for the offices?''
Frankness and truth are highly
appreciated in the world today.
Representative Thomas will oblige
by explaining to a sympathetic popu-
lace how, if he honestly expends his
mileage for travel, his creditors, OF
people in his district are going tc
benefit by it.

SURPRISING THE NEWS.

Every newspaper is frequently con-
fronted by the suggestion that if a
certain matter of news is kept out of
print the public welfare will be sery-
ed and the public will be undisturbed.
This same idea was the inspiration of
the first newspapers which were in
protest to an official that news should
not be given the people. 1t is a theory
of the newspaper world that the truth
loses nothing by publicity and that
suppression of the news merely mag
nifies the facts says the Lafayette
Journal.
Five years ago the son of Marshall
Field, of Chicago, was killed under
peculiar circumstances. The Chicago
papers had very little to say about the
case. 1t was explained, in an Incl.
dental manner, that the young man
while loading a gun in preparation
for a hunting trip, was accidently
shot. The death of the young mar
didn't occupy one-tenth the space
that was devoted to the bargain sale
of the Marshall Field company.
The public was not satisfied will
the story that was told concernins
the death of young Marshall Field
1t was quite evident that something

1.-The constitutionalist party
would be glad to receive the moral
support of the United States in
enabling US to win the presidency.
But under no circumstances
would we tolerate for one minute

Sam with the internal affairs of

against each other, we would all
unite and fight for our common
country the minute the first Ameri-

Mexico and the United States?"
What have the jingoes who are
tearing their hair over Huerta to
say to that? Isn't it rather i'm

much for granted a sit does down

A REAL LIVE PAPER.

One of our bright weekly ex-
changes declared that occasionally a
local paper misses an item of i'm
portance. but a well known New York
millionaire wandered away from his
mansion, was murdered. and his body
lay in the morgue for thirteen days.
and the reporters for the great jour
nails that issue an edition once every
hour, did not find out the news. A
good weekly paper that would print

light burns until the called person
raises his receiver from the hook.
When the receivers are finally replac-
ed on their hooks, both lights flash
and burn until the operator removes
the connecting plugs. To complete
one call means four flashes of light.
AS the average number of calls Is 140
per hour, with 225 or more during
the rush hours, the operators eyes
are exposed to from 500 to 1000
flashes of light every hour, resulting
in fatigue to the eyes, to say nothing
OF the mental and physical strain
under which the operator constantly
works. The Bell system, in 1911.
spent $720.953 for rest-rooms and
lunch-rooms for the operators, and it
has secured sufficient air space and
good illumination, yet, although only
young and healthy girls are selected,
| the average length of service does not
exceed three years. The symptoms of
leye-strain which the girls develop are
headache, dullness, indigestion, ex-
haustion, nerve strain, insomnia,
colds land so forth. The two or three
short years of telephone work possible
to the girls. as we'll as nine-tenths OF
all their sueffring, is probably due to
| the constant near-range eyework
without proper protection for the

A SWEET ASSURANCE.

nails into it, scratched all the paint
off the dashboard of the pie-counter
in his mad zeal to hoist himself there
on, we have the sweet assurance of
the hon. H. Jaundiced Carr that he
wants none of mayor-elect Johnson 5
old offices.
L sooth, 'Tis we'll.
The petulant pet of the bull moose
never threw fit of passion for some
fat political job but something un-
toward happened to it. He ought to
|shun the itch for office or else scratch
it.
Our old friend Richard Burton in
his cheerful preachment entitled
The Anatomy of Melancholy" tells
us Seneca thinks the gods are pleased
when they see great men contending
with adversely.
Now that Homer confesses that he
has no burning desire to better his
| fellowmen while in office, let him
stay by his humble fireside and per.
nit the city to continue on it's mad
rush to the dogs.
