WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
ScRIBER?

A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts, on what
constitutes a subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that q
man who received the paper, although
he never subscribed for It, is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme-
date possession, and received and &C.
copied a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently. but no at
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob-
inson. Finally there was day Of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for it. The Judge personally ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use Of 1t and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe in his criti-
cism Of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think 1t worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use of 1t as an act Of dishon-
esty, he said one should acQuaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

We claim to be the best advertising
medium Of the Twin Cities. and when
you're not advertised in the Tv'n
City Star. you need not show-that's
all. Because the people read the
Star for the news, especially In MIN
neapoIIs. The day Of the Town Crier
Is past. Be up-to-date, Advertise and
Pay for II. A newspaper is the best
medium. It reaches the homes and
firesides Of people who attend public
entertainments. These people never
go out and loiter around and read
hand bills and hang-up notices. They
read the Twin City Star.

BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON:

M FIRST first knowledge n'H &c Of. Of Abraham
was awakened early one morn
ing before the dawn of day, as I lay
wrapped in a bundle of rags on the
dirt floor of our slave cabin, by the
prayers Of my mother, just before leav.
ing for her days work, as she was
kneeling over me, earnestly praying
that Abraham Lincoln might succeed
and that one day she and her boy
might be free. ." As an individual,
grateful as l am to Lincoln for free
dom Of body, my gratitude is still
greater for freedom of soul, the liber-
ty which permits one to live up in that
atmosphere where he refuses to permit
sectional or racial hatred to drag down,
to warp and narrow his soul. /" .
Lincoln lives today because he had the
courage which made him refuse to
hate the man at the south and the man
at the north when they did not agrpo
with him.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler of events. It is q personal
ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as member Of your family.
4 What sort of person do you like
ito have visit you? .
He ought to be honest, courageous,
mo hypocrite, and gentleman, with
Ia real interest in you, ready to lend
Ia hand If you need help. Cheerful.
mess and good humor are excellent
Qualities, and a wide range Of In.
Iterests.
What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, Of course. and 1t
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not Influenced by
Outside interests. The square deal Is
tits platform.
In handling news 1t observes the
Idecencies and amenities of life. It
never wantonly brings shame or sor.
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
II the Twih City Star does not
bring you something of interest In
any particular issue, 1t has failed by
so much that week. It takes Of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as visitor.
But it trusts this doesn't often hap

By Justice CHARLES e. HUGHES:

A BRAHAM LINCOLN was an
IA acute man. But we erect no
monuments to shrewdness.
Lincoln was man Of principle. .
He ever sought for the foundation
principle and built upon it with sure
confidence that the house which was
founded upon the rock could not be
destroyed by the storm. He was pro-
foundry an apostle Of liberty, but for
liberty under the law, developed and
applied in accordance with constitu-
tional principle. He was man who
met each demand as it arose. To the
radicals he was too conservative; to
the conservatives he was too radical.

No" he said promptly. Glow

a thing to upset 1t and break 1t and
deprive 1t Of chance to change. 1t
destroys It, We must make changes
whose object is development, a more
free and wholesome development, not
revolution or upset or confusion. We
must build up trade, especially for
eign trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field Of energy more
than We ever did before. We must
build up industry as we'll and must
adopt freedom in the place of arti-
fetal stimulation only SO far as 1t will
build, not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff the method by which this
may be done will be matter of judg-
ment, exercised item by item.
To some not accustomed to the ex-
elements and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may il
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object is clear.
II our motive is above just challenge
and only an occasional error of judg-
ment is chargeable against US, we
shall be fortunate
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, az thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts Of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t is best, indeed it is neces-
sary, to begin with the tariff. / will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can OBJ
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty At later time | may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them. OF which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now | refrain.
For the present, I put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels Of pros
perity to great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and

Roses From Italy.

The rose, SO long considered the
floral emblem of England, was not
known in that country until the early
part of the fifteenth century. Rose
trees were then brought from Italy
and planted in the royal gardens.
They were sent as presents from the
holy father and highly esteemed by
royalty 1t became the custom to
carve them over the doors of the con-
fessional as holy flowers, hence the
term sub rosa under the rose) used
to mean with secrecy Ave Maria.
