THE HOG CHOLERA LOBBY.

President Wilson has designated
certain Hobbies as insidious, but thus
far he has overlooked the hog cholera
lobby, which is said to be one of the
most active at the capital. The hog
cholera bill has been attracting so
much attention that it has led one
Ohio editor to write a letter TO his
congressman as follows:
Il had a sort of an idea that the
white plague was about the worst
thing we had TO contend with in this
country. but no. thousand times no.!
For frightful destruction and stu
pendous havoc and gigantic loss-of
money-the hog cholera has the VIII -
plague backed up in the corner yell
ing for ice water. So l wish to add
my urgent insist that you fly 10 the
protection of the innocent hog in
stanter IF a few odd thousand chill
dren should die during your errand of
exigencies that cannot well be avoid
ed. because there are plenty more
where they came from. Not so with
the hogs. They are bringing from
. IL to 10 IA cents today, and the
visible supply is limited
After the high cholera has been suf-
ficiently attended to, and the bill
made into a law which will stamp it
out. il mighi be well for some other
Hobbies to get busy. There should be
swat-the-fy lobby and one to pro-
mote sane dancing of the tango and

OUR EX-PREsIDENTS.

There is something in being an eX-
president after all. Theodore is
having a bully time in South America,
having lost everything in the rapids
excepting his typewriter and his fig
ures of speech, and William Howard
is having the time of his life jimmy
ing around these old United States,
taking in the banquets. Both are
having more fun than the man who
defeated them.
Ex-President Taft reports that he
has FIVE hInquets ahead of him in one
week u in Minnehaha, otherwise
known as Minnesota, and that he has
so many other eating engagements
throughout the country that he
doesn't know how he is going to get
around TO all Of them. For a staid
Yale professor, the plump eX-presi-
dent is carrying on something ter

dent and since, established the record
of being the worlds champion ban

did il with so much good nature that
he has been kept at it ever since. He
is a charming banquet speaker and is
welcomed everywhere in the United
States Millions are willing 10 eat
with him where apparently not more
than thousands were willing to vote
for him.

SOMEBODY would abolish show
windows as a temptation To eXtrava-

prohibit the budding of flowers in the
front yard or the growing Of fruit on
trees where all can see, or compel all
the beautiful and desirable things OF
earth to be hidden from sight lest
some susceptible human being be
tempted to buy or steal them.
In our modest estimation the show
windows make the business district
endurable. But for them the at

Is The Day Book Paying?-I have
the following letter from Daniel P.
Riordan, president of the Chicago
, Civil Service League:
My Dear Mr.. Cochran: AS con-
slant reader of your Day Book since
its first inception into the field and
hrm believer in the precepts stated
therein, l am DESTROYS of asking of
you a little information to decide a
controversy which came up the other
day, and if not asking you to give
away any of your business secrets or
if not in any way too pertinent
question, l would like to ask you if
. The Day Book is paying and if so,
how long such has been the case.
Thanking you in advance, l remain,
Sincerely yours,
D. P. Riordan.
I have no business secrets that
am conscious of, and have no Objec-
ton to answering the question. The
Day Book is not paying. hope that
it will be on a self-sustaining basis
as an adless newspaper by the, end of
this year, although l may be disap-
pointed
If the people of Chicago put on
$4,000 more readers by the end of
this year, The Day Book will be max
ing a little profit, and will then be
able to spend more money in push
ing it's circulation.
The circulation of The Day Book
could have been. increased much
faster than it has been, if it were
feasible. to adopt the same. circula-
ton methods for an adIess newspaper
that are adopted by newspapers that
depend upon advertising for profit.
For this, adless newspaper to be a
success financially, it's circulation
must be compact, and must be put
on by the people themselves instead
of through the expenditure of large
sums of money for canvassers, adj

boys OF carriers who come to the Of
flee and get them at 50 cents per 100.
When they are delivered to news
stands or elsewhere the wholesale
rate is go cents per 100-the same as
ali other evening papers.
And then l must have the circula-
ton compact enough so that the ex-
ira 10 cents per 100 will pay the cost
of delivery.
This will explain to those interest
ed why this paper is not delivered in

see how anything can be done that

I think some people we're really
ashamed to be seen reading The Day

feared people would think they were

But they are getting over that now.
