THE CHICAGO MASSACRE

AAAI NAAAN<AuO NE
One t thousand persons per-
sons persisted inside of five
minutes in the slime of the
Chicago river, almost within
handshaking distance of the
shore because of the failure of
boat builders to observe a law
of mechanics understandable
to any child.
Was it due to a mental lapse?
Did responsible inspectors per
NIT the Eastland to enter the

because of a failure to consider
the possibilities of a great

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The editor of one of the
smaller newspapers of the state
is said to have received the
following letter:
"Please send me a few
copies of the paper con-
tanning the obituary of my
aunt. Also publish the
enclosed clipping of the
marriage of my niece. who
lives in Lebanon. And |
wish you would mention
in your local column, if it
don't cost anything, that l
have two bull calves for
sale. As my subscription
is out, please stop my pa
per. Times are too bad to
waste money on news
papers,
The letter may be genuine OF
it may be the satirical produc-
ton of a newspaper maker but,
who ever the author, it repres-
ents admirably the mental
attitude of a vast number of
persons toward the newspaper.
The average man or woman
thinks the charge for an ad-
vertisement, no matter what it
may be, is too high. T h e
general idea is that the news
paper has to fill it's columns
and that anyone who helps in
any manner in the filling is
doing a favor to the editor. To
the country editor the collec-
ton of subscriptions is the
bane of his life. Many a man
honest in other lines will think
nothing of lodging payment of
his subscription to his country
paper and feel resentment if
the paper stops coming. Not
a few persons who pay for the
paper more or less regularly
feel in their hearts that they
are doing an act of charity and
that they are placing the editor
under a debt of gratitude.
Editor f. l.. Richter, presid-
ent of the North Dakota editor
ial association, said recently:
THE cheapest thing in the
world today is the newspaper.
There are few businesses in
which the margin of profit is
80 SMALL This statement is
absolutely true and it is be-
cause so many newspapers
have a hard struggle for exist
enCe and so many readers fail
to realize their worth and what
it costs in money and effort to
produce them that we are in
Clined to believe the lady of
the two bull calves had her
letter written where the smell
of printers ink is strong, and
the Clink of coin in the cash
drawer is glad but often too
infrequent a sound.

I'VE have been a nation

George y. Dayton, one of the
leading business men of Min
neapolis, tells this inspiring
story of his success through
saving:>
Il left home shortly after 16
years of age. Before reaching
~ years I had accumulated
S., 900 e, 900 of which had been
given by father in lieu of a
college course>, and felt then it
was safe to marry. At that
time l was receiving a salary
of $500 per year, payable week

we would not open charge &C.
counts anywhere, would pay
cash for what we bought and
would go without things we
could not pay for until We could
pay for them. Furthermore,
we decided that each Saturday
we would lay aside IS for a
permanent investment, and no.
thing was permitted to tempt
us from that habit while on a
salary.
when we went to house.
keeping only a part of the
house was furnished-some
rooms were kept closed until
we could buy carpets and need
ed furniture. Many young cou-
pies think they must establish
themselves in we'll furnished
apartments in order to get into
society. but we were welcomed
into the same refined, intelli-
gent circles in which our par
ents had always moved, and
this without any pretense OF
having more than we possess
ed.
When about 5000 or 80 had
accumulated a mortgage was
bought for $500 or $500, the
balance being paid as quickly
as possible. The interest on
each mortgage swelled the in
come that much and the salary
increased some-until in 1883
we moved to Minnesota and in
vested all in land.
"A young man has no right
to marry until he has saved
something's young couple
have no right to live up to all
their income. Every man
owes it to society to save some
thing for his family. Men on
salaries can do this if they will,
but it requires on the part of
both husband and wife will
power sufficient to be content
and happy while living inside
the income, whatever that isl
Mr.. Dayton's experience was
related in connection with an
interesting discussion in the
Minneapolis Journal brought
forth by a letter written to the
paper by a man who signed
himself "Billpayer."
This correspondent asked
how he could save part of his
salary, explaining that his in
come was a little more than
enough for his needs. He had
repeatedly tried to save but
had never made much head
way. His case is typical of
many others.

FIVE new HOUSES
Fred Robertson Will Build on
Old Foster Property.
Each Structure Will Cost $4,000
to $4,000.

Five residences embodying the lat
est ideas in modern architecture are
to be erected early next spring on the
site now occupied by the old Foster
property on Eleventh and Harrison
streets. While no definite plans for
the houses, which will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 each, have been
made, the old mansion will be torn
down during the winter while local
architects evolve the plans for the
buildings which will take it's place.
The houses will be erected by Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney, who is now located in Kansas
City. Mr.. Robertson first planned to
build a $4,000 apartment house on
the site. Early this week he changed
his mind, however, and preliminary
plans for the five houses have already
been laid. Lacol builders have been
consulted by Mr.. Robertson since his
decision to erect a number of private
dwellings, instead of the single apart
ment house.
With ma few weeks, the house now
standing on the six lots will be torn
down and the material will be stacked
away. The ground will be cleared and
all arrangements completed so that
with the first signs of spring, work can
commence on the structures, Mr.. Rob-
ertson stated this afternoon.
The time is coming when electricity
will be depended upon for cooking and
heating, Mr.. Robertson believes, and
he intends to anticipate this in the
construction of his new houses. The
will include sun parlors
of other features which have not yet
been worked out

PRAISE FOR BANK ACT
Banker Says Law in 1914 Would
Have Prevented Payment Suspension.

Chicago. Nov. 27.-Praise for the
federal reserve banks and the effect
they have had on the finances of the
nation was voiced today before the
conference of the Western Economic
society by Edmund D. Hubert, a Chi
cago banker.
Mr.. Hubert said that no one IA
miliar with the fact could doubt that
had the federal reserve banks been in
operation in August, 1914, as they are,
today, there would have been no sus-
pension of payment in this country.
Violent contractions in money
credit are always followed by periods
of expansion, which. if unchecked
lead almost certainly to another
crisis, said Mr.. Hubert I'VE are
now passing through just a period
of expansion. The function of the
federal board to contract credit in a
period of over-eXpansion is Just as i'm
portant as its function to expand
credits in a time of excessive, contrac-
