Houck Shoe Co. Has
Removed to Larger
Market St. Quarters

The Houck Shoe Co, formerly locat-
ed at 430 Market street, has removed
to the larger quarters at 42S Market
street. The new store covers a con-
siderably more square feet of floor
space than the old one and it's spacious
interior and its excellent lighting au-
vantages make it much more adaptable
for the business than the former loca-
ton.
The new store room has been neatly
and substantially modified and furnish
ed and presents most inviting ap-
pearance. New stocks of goods for
Spring and sumer have been brought
into the store. embracing the newest
ideas in footwear for men, women and
children. The present store has become
necessary by the growth of the busi-
ness. which had humble start sixteen
years, ago, when it was founded on
very small scale by Philip Houck at
319 Market street Close attention to
the business and to the merchandise Of
fered to the public resulted in a rapid
growth of patronage, which soon neces-
STATED a removal of the business from
the original quarters to 42S Market
street, where it has been successfully
conducted for twelve years.
About thirteen years ago David
Houck, who had formerly been a part
ner in the business withdrew from the
firm, since which time Philip Houck
has been the proprietor.

u. S. Will Not Feel
the Expense of a War

Washington, D. c., April 22.-That
the United States could finance a war
with Mexico and scarcely feel it is the
view authortatively expressed here
to-day. SThe governments finances
are considered to be in excellent condi-
ton, so good in fact that even the
Treasury officials, who are in closest
touch with the situation have given
only tentative consideration to the
subject of providing a war fund.
In the event of extraordinary eX-
penseS, which would arise naturally
during state of war; money could be
raised, it is pointed out, precisely as IT
was raised during the Spanish Amer
lean War, through extraordinary
taxes. 1t has ben estimated that q
beer and stamp tax would Increase
the revenue of the government by at
least 100000, 900 a year. Imposition
of such taxes would have to be made
by the Congress.

Secretary Bryan Is
Worried Over Safety
of Mr.. O'Shaughnessy

Washington, d. c., April 22.-Secre-
tary Bryan, going to the White House
at 1.15, said he had received no word
from Charge O'Shaughnessy since
Monday. The last message from Mex
leo City came from the American con-
Sulate Tuesday forenoon.
Mr. Bryan appeared worried about
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy and to-day cabled
him to report about conditions in
Mexico City. The Secretary was sure,
however, that if anything had hap
pened to Shaughnessy, other lega-
tons in Mexico City would have,
through their home government, in
formed the United States. Press re-
ports have stated that telegraph wires
from Mexico City to Vera Cruz were
cut yesterday, which would probably
account for the lack of information.

1t is stated that the Mexican troops
forming the garrison Of Vera Cruz
We're turned loose as soon as it was
seen that the Americans were about
to land and We're told to act as they
saw fit. Very few, if any, of their Off
GERS remained with the Mexican SOL
dlers. whose operations were carried
on without any one to direct them.
Some of the Mexican troops OBJ
tained :. considerable supply of in
toXicants by looting two stores. AS a
result, many of them were in a con-
dition which made them equally dan
gerous to natives and foreigners who
came within their range.
Colonel Cerrillo was one of the few
officers who remained with the MeXi-
can troops. He was the commander
of the Nineteenth Battalion and was
wounded in one arm early in the fight
Ing.
The Mexican troops had one seven
ty-hVe millimeter gun, which they
placed in position at tho corner of
Esteban Morales and Main streets.

Levites."
Mr. Chapman, who is writing exclu-
sively on the subject of rural credits,
touched the keynote of the present
theme when he suggested that only
when the country is rightly organized
does it provide at once a living and
a life," and II may be said, with equal
force, that the country editor has 1t
within his power to become OF the
essence rather than of the incidents
OF the scene"
The relationship between the news
paper and the community Is greatly
different from that which exists be-
tween the people and any other semi,
public institution. From period so
remote that the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary, the news
paper has been regarded as peculiarly
the spokesman and tribune of the PEG
pie. The very origin of the newspaper
as we know it to-day was this desire
by men TO have some medium by
means of which not news but private
opinions could be disseminated. The
early pamphleteer voiced the political
creed or the malignant attacks of an
individual or cabal. Through all the
years. however, which have passed
since journalism became a profession,
instead of a diversion, that quality OF
thought leadership which brought il
into being has marked its career and
will doubtless be associated with II
until the end.
The country editor" far more than
his brother of the city bears TO his
readers that peculiar relationship
which exists between the press and
the people. He has a wider and a
more intimate acquaintance with his
readers, enters more Familiarity into
their daily lives, sees more Of them In
their home and In the social circle.
In outlining a plan for the country
editor 10 take an effeetiye part In the
upbuilding of our country communi'
ties, IL is necessary first to determine
the objects which such a plan should
comprehend, and 20 then select those
causes which should engage the most
careful attention at the hands OF the
country newspaper. An enumeration
OF the objects which might properly
come within the scope OF such plan
readily extends through a long list.
