there will be- newspapers that will
contain nothing but store news, or
advertising; and othe rpapers that
will contain no news that is paid for
by advertisers adless newspapers
like The Day Book.
1t is expecting too much from hui
man nature to expect newspapers
that depend upon profit from adver-
Using to devote their energy and eff
fort solely to the public good.
l think, however, the solution of
the problem lies with the people
themselves and not through regulat-
ing laws. When the people under
stand why we have no free press no
laws will be necessary.
think The Day Book means more
finally to the people of Chicago that
any subway that engineering genius
can devise or money build. It.points
the way to a free press.

FREED ON GARTER-UNBUcKLINC
cHARGE-TRIES ANOTHER

Rev. Charles H. Byles, pastor of
the Lockport Congregational church,
who was recently acquitted of the
charge of unblckling the garter of a
pretty young girl, faces another
charge.
Trustee Robert Whitley of the
church now comes forth with the
charges that Byles kissed three girls,
played tricks with a deck of cards,
palmed half dollar, and acted devil
ish in general.
Rev. Byles' trial on a charge of I'M
buckling Lucille Clarke's garter was
one of the sensations of Lockport.
Miss Clarke is one of the ravishing
beauties. 1t is agreed by the men folk
that it must have been a certain kind
of real pleasure to unbuckle her
garter.
my studies and work are upon
such serious subjects that l require
some mental relaxation" says Byles
in replying to all the charges.
Trustee N. W. Worth defends the
pastor of the garter-unbucklng
charge. eff he did it must, have been
quite accidentally, said North.

We won't have free press until
readers pay a price that will enable
publishers to make a profit from the
readers directly, instead Of indirectly
through the advertisers.
The reason Chicago is run in the
interest of loop merchants is because
they are the meal-ticket for the news
papers. The State street stores have
an organization; and they could put
any of the big newspapers out of
business by agreeing to withdraw all
advertising patronage from the Of
Tending paper.
This wouldn't be so easy if the
business of Chicago we're done by a
hundred stores. But it is easy when
most of the retail business is done by
a mere handful
Editorial columns play only a small
part in the game of government for
Big Business. The handling, or mis-
handling of news is muc hmore eff
fective. Until the Day Book was start
ed it was the common practice of Chi
cago newspapers to suppress or color
news in order to keep the truth from
the public, or to create false public
opinion by downright lying.
There has been a change for the
better, but there is still vast room
for improvement.
Take. the matter of subways- DO
YOU suppose any newspaper in Chi
cago that depends for it's existence
on the advertising of the State street
stores dares support any subway
proposition that would adversely af-
feet the selfish interests of the own
ers of those stores?
When the Marshal Field store was
grabbing city property underneath
the streets did any of the papers OPP
pose action of the council in giving
away valuable property that belonged
to the people?

Ready for Business

The Ochrida Turkish Bath Par
lors in the basement of the
lWoodhouse building on Philadel-
phia street are now open to the
public. +. w. Coffyn, a well
known citizen, and a man who
has had years of experience in
the business, is proprietor. The
word "0chrida" is the name of
a lake in Turkey, meaning
water" and Mr.. Coffyn select
ed it as an appropriate and uni
que title for his bath parlors.
The parlors are. indeed, q credit
to the city. Everything is new
and of the most approved design
and pattern. The interior thro-
ughout is finished in white, de.
noting cleanliness, purity and
sanitation.
The first room as one descends
the few steps is the waiting
room which is a well lighted
and comfortable apartment. IL
is Mr.. Coffyn's intention to uti-
lize a portion of this room for
manicuring, massaging, sham
pooling and hair dressing by an
expert a little later on and pos
sibly add foot dressing as well.
At the rear of the waiting room,
on one side, are two private COM
partments for tub baths, well
fitted up with handsome tubs.
towels. brushes and other ac-
cessories essential to the COM
fort and convenience of patrons.
Next are two compartments for
shower baths. furnished with
all the conveniences and accom-
modations that go with such
baths. Then are the appliances
and apparatuses for Turkish
steam baths. and baths can be
either taken in whole or partial
ly. Opposite the bathing ar
rangements is a long apartment
in which three snow white cots
repose. which present a most
inviting appearance. These are
for the purpose of putting the
finishing touches to the steam
bathers. In the rear of the base
ment are the massage table.
lavatory. etc. Mirrors. dress.
ers. brushes, combs. rugs and
other adornments complete the
establishment.
Madam Sula Gibson. a st.
Johns. lady. will be lady as
sistant at the 0chrida. Tues
day and Wednesday afternoons
of each week have been set aside
as ladies' day. when no males
will be admitted. The new bath
parlors promise to become most
popular with st. Johns people.
and the enterprise is deserving
of much patronage.

In a Quandary

The State Tax Commission
has taken a step that puts il in
square collision with the Attor-
ney General. II is well known
that over half a million dollars
of taxes are held 10 be uncollect-
ible in the various counties in
which the forfeited land grants
in western Oregon are located.
Proceeding on the theory that
the title to ZIG. 1900 acres of
land embraced in the Oregon
California land grant continues
to be vested in the Oregon Cali.
fornia Railroad Co. until the
United States Supreme Court
finally decides a suit instituted
by the government to have the
lands forfeited, the State Tax
Commission has notified all Ore
gon assessors to assess the land
in the name of the company.
Assessor b. +. Keeney of Lane
county was surprised when
notified of this action of the
State Tax Commission. Only a
short time ago he received an
opinion from Attorney General
Crawford. advising him not to
assess these lands. II am in a
quandary," said the assessor.
~ hardly know what to do. |
am not decided as to who is
boss in this natter whether
the attorney generals advice is
to be followed. or whether TO
obey the ruling of the State Tax
Commission. If we put these
lands on the roll we will have to
pay our share of the state tax
on them, yet we will get nothing
from the property, as the rail-
way company has refused to pay
the taxes until the suit is set
tied. If we are compelled to as
sess this property this year. the
county will lose a large sum of
money by reason of the railway
company's refusal to pay the
tax. "-Contributed.
