HeIpinu the Poet.

Longfellow, the great poet. was not
ed for his fondness for children. and
this extended to all little folks. wheth
er of his family or not. There was on,
little boy of whom he was very fond
and who came often to see him. One
day the child looked earnestly at the
long row Of books in the library and
at length asked, Have you Jack
the Giant Killer?'" Longfellow was
obliged to confess that his great library
did not contain that venerated volume.
The little fellow looked very sorry and
presently slipped down from the poets
knee and went away. But the next
morning Longfellow saw him coming
up the walk with something tightly
clasped in his little fists. The child
had brought cents with which Long
fellow was to buy Jack the Giant
Killer of his own.

American Restaurants,

What disconcerts the European in the

NAPOLEON and Tobacco.

Napoleon. who tried to smoke once
and then with dire results, instituted
the French tobacco monopoly. which
the German government now proposes
to adopt so far as cigarettes are con-
cerned. At court function held early
in 1910 the emperor remarked a lady
wearing jewels Of such magnifcence
that he inquired how her husband
made his money. He is a tobacco
merchant" was the reply, which led
him to seek further information as to
such profitable business. Before the
year expired Napoleon issued decree
restricting the sale and manufacture
Of tobacco exclusively to the state. II
has remained a monopoly ever since
and for many years past has brought
in an annual revenue of over $80,O00,.

German Commander Says Prisoners

Freiherr Won Kissing, acting COM

nation forbidding German prisoners
camps to German women:
women might as well save them
selves the trouble of asking permis-

though their husbands are on military

in prisoners camps. Such places are
no family rendezvous. Also visits in

Old English Slaves.

Before the conquest and for long
time after at least two-thirds of the
people Of England were denuded Of all
the substantial attributes OF freedom.
The lords had the absolute disposal of
them. They might be attached to the
soil or transferred by deed. sale or con
veyance from one lord to another.
They could not chance their place or
hold property-in short. they were
slaves under their obligation of per-
petual servitude, which the consent of
the master alone could dissolve. The
system was not fairly abolished until
the reign of Charles H., and so late as
1775 men were bought and sold in
Scotland with the estates to which they
were bound.

A Summer of Haze.

Europe and Asia were covered by
fog during the summer OF 1873. Says
Gilbert White Qetter 109): 1.-The sum-
mer Of the year 1888 was an amazing

sides the alarming meteors and tre-
mendous thunderstormS, the
peculiar haze or smoky fog that pre-
vailed for many weeks in this island
Engian0 and In every part Of Europe
and even beyond its limits was a most
extraordinary appearance. The heat
was intense. CaIabria and part Of the

DOG Spooks.

The phantom dog specter was one Of
the hardest of old English supersti-
tions. Almost every county had it's
black dog which haunted its lonely
spots and was the dread of every ma
tive. Most Of them were regarded as
devils, but some were held to be the
spirits Of human beings, transformed
thus as punishment. Lady Howard.
a Devon notable Of the days Of James
L., for instance, was said to be COM
PEELED to haunt Okehampton in the

Advertising ControI.-The Fourth
Estate is publication for newspaper
men, and deals with subjects inter
esting to them, not the least of which
is advertising.
In its issue of July The Fourth
Estate published numerous state
ments under the heading: Heard
About the AID Clubs Convention"
and among the remarks credited to
ad men find this one:
eff we only keep this going strong
we shall soon be able to dictate to
newspaper publishers, not only what
they may put in their ad columns,
but also in their news and editorial
columns"
That sentiment isn't often express
ed so boldly, but it runs through the
minds of many advertisers and some
advertising agents. 1t is sentiment
newspaper readers will have to con-
slider seriously if they want to pre-
serve free press; and if they don't
have free press they won't have
much OF anything worth while.
The people know pretty well how
Big Business controls politics and the
courts, but if it is permitted to con-
troll newspapers absolutely, both as
to editorial policy and the publication
of news, the people will be slaves in
deed.
There is no sound reason why an
advertiser should have any more in
fluence on newspapers policy than
a reader who isn't an advertiser;
there are many sound reasons why
an advertiser should NOT have more
influence than any other citizen.
If an advertiser makes money adj
vertising in a newspaper he gets his
moneys worth and is entitled to
nothing but the space he pays for.

E. w. oUINNS RECORD

In another column today the Star Bulletin
publishes some facts with regard to r. w.
Quinn record in the senate of 1909. This rec
ord is now being revived by those who are asked
to vote for Mr.. Quinn and to whom he again
pledges himself to abide by the Republican
platform, particularly in the matter of the
liquor law. Heis a candidate for the territorial
senate and what he did when he was last in
the senate is now quite proper as subject for
the voters to know about and think about.
Later the Star Bulletin will have more to say
on this subject and the matter of candidates for
the senate who are worthy Of public support
