 Every line in newspaper costs the proprietor something. If it is for the benefit of the individual it should be paid for. If the grocer were asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and it IS one of the hardest things to be learned by many, that newspaper has space in its columns to rent, and must rent them to live. To give away rent for any thing less than living rates is as fatal to newspaper as for landlord to furnish rent free. Ex.

ORGANIZE NEUTRAL SOCIETY
Demand Embargo on Export of Arms
to Allies, and Protection of
U. S. Ships.

Milwaukee.-The American Neu-
trality League of Wisconsin was Or
ganized in Milwaukee, when two
score citizens gathered at the
Deutscher club and pledged them
selves to work in every legitimate
way for the strictest neutrality be-
tween the United States and all bel
ligerent nations.
J. L. O'Connor sounded two of the
keynotes of the organization when
he said it was up to the people OF
the United States, aside from those
who are making money, to band to-
gether and demand that congress
pass laws enabling the president to
declare an embargo on all war NUM-
tions to any country engaged in war
and to demand that American trade
with peaceful nations be not inter-
fered with. He also advocated a
massmeeting attended by Thousands
who will endorse resolutions calling
for such action.
A motion to call such a meeting in
the near future was adopted. AT
this time a committee of five will
submit resolutions and a declaration
of what the organization stands for.

FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
HITS FILIPINO RULE
Tells Senate Body 1t Means Era of
Death-Throat-Cu Would Be-
gin II Liberty Granted.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft made
special trip to Washington to plead
with the senate committee on the
Philippines not to enact legislation at
this time holding out promise to the
Philippines of ultimate independence.
They are not ready yet, nor quail
fed for self-government," said Mr.
Taft, speaking as an expert because of
his intimate knowledge of the Fill
pinos gained during his stay on the
islands as governor. He quoted the
words of a prominent Filipino: 1.-THE
American ships would not get around
the islands in leaving us to independ-
ence before the throat-cutting would
begin.
II don't care for the power of the
United States in the Philippines. l
would like for this country to get out
of the islands, so far as this country
alone is concerned; but am thinking
about the poor people of the islands.
They are not fit for self-government.
They don't like me out there because
I told them so, and told them the
truth You will find that the case
with lot of people. They do not like
to be told the truth.
Now" he continued, what time do
l think will be necessary to train the
Filipinos for self-government? The
time that shall give those people an
opportunity to learn English SO that
they shall be an English-speaking
people. That will take more than
one generation and probably more
than two, If you count 80 years as
a generation. You can't educate all
of the people-you haven't got the
money"
