CHRISTMAS TREES FOR BIRDS.

Secretary Pearson of the National Association of
Audubon Societies. tells that birds forage bravey
for themselves during the temperate season, but in
severe and ice-bound weather they die in large num-
bers from starvation, they burrow in the to

forms they cannot break out again and perish mis-
erably. Mr.. Pearson also notes the fact that many
birds. not before. trying tor winter in

As one of the appropriate obseryanees of the COM
ing holidays it is suggested that Christmas trees be
provided for the birds Conifers not necessary.

CAPITA1 on oAPIToLg

When statue of the late vice-President Hobart
was erected in front the Paterson City Hall some
years ago certain persons objected to the way Mr..
Hobart's middle name was spelled in the inscription
on the epedestal--AvGvsTvs. They didn't understand
or didn't like the od-tme classical form of the let
ter U.
The trouble the wording of the tablet just
placed by patriotic society in Trenton to mark the
where the seventh Congress of the United States
is of different nature In this the spelling
involves question of fact, not merely the style of
letter The opening words of the inscription are
This tablet the site where was seated
the seventh National Capital and where was assem-
bled the Congress of the United States.
A heated controversy has arisen. The tablet
marks the site of the old Trenton Inn, which stood
where the Mechanics Bank stands, and the critics
argue that the intention to commemorate the
building and the city, and that consequently the
word Capital" should be Capitol" They find sup
port in the fact that the invitations to the dedi
catory exercises it was spelled Capitol"
A bronze plate is costly thing to make over. It

Open Letter to the Editor of the
Four-corners Clarion

Dear Strive note in your anniver-
sary issue of December 12 that we
have been awarded the second prize
in your essay contest, as is only right
and just. Three days. however, have
elapsed since the announcement of
the prize winners, and neither Mr..
Leonard H. Robbins, Mr.. L. s. Garri-
son nor ourselves have received the
trophies awarded us for our remark
ably clever compositions.
Mr. Robbins. with whom we had
conversation yesterday, is especially
disturbed that he has not as yet re-
ceived his prize He confessed to us
that anxiety over the delay in pre-
senting him with his gift has caused
him to neglect his furnace shamefully.
He understands that the first prize,
won by him, is something that runs by
wheels. has hard shell, and starts
by being wound, but is neither an
eight-day clock or red tin monkey,
so he cannot Imagine what it is.
Mr.. Garrison is also extremely per-
turbed over the failure of his prize
to appear, as he has been counting on
giving it away as a Christmas pres
ent. He declares that if he does not
receive his prize by next Friday night
he will reclaim the essay which he
wrote and sell 1t to the Atlantic
Monthly or Lydia Pinkham's Al
manac.
Great inconvenience has been
caused us by the non-arrival of our
prize. Under the impression that
they were messengers bearing the
award we have already let three bill
collectors and q plainclothesman into
our house 70 the dissatisfaction of all
concerned.
II the matter of presenting us with
our highly -menited prizes is not inn
mediate1y attended to Mr. Robbins,
Mr.. Garrison and ourselves will ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The First Paper to Get News by Telegraph

The late Henry B. Stanton, who for
fifty years was an intimate associ-
ate with all of the newspaper pro-
prietors and distinguished editors of
New York and with many in other
large cities, and furthermore, who re-
membered vividly the establishment
IN New York of the penny papers
said to me in the course of reminiscent
conversation that he was convinced
that brilliant and successful as were
many of the journalists of a latter
day.. nevertheless the origlnators of
penny newspapers could fayorably be
compared with the most brilliant of
their successors.
II take that view" said Mr.. Stan
ton, because those who came later
had the advantage of the example and
experience of the men who estab-
lished newspapers at such low cost
that every one was able to buy or to
subscribe.
'"The newspaper of today is only an
evolution from the newspaper estab-
lished in the thirties and in the early
forties This evolution was in great
measure due to the invention by Pro-
fessor Morse. of the electric telegraph
and to rapid transportation furnished
by the swift development of our rail-
road systems.
'T sometimes think that there has
not been due acknowledgment to the
pioneer work performed by Erastus
Brooks. He was brother of James
Brooks and, like his brother. was
born in Portland, Me. Erastus Brooks
was more of a scholar than James,
but don't think he wrote any more
brilliantly than James Brooks did.
These brothers established low
priced afternoon paper in New York.
and for the first few years it was a
hand-to-mouth fight for existence.
Both were interested in politics, and
both became members of Congress.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

takes. Exigencies OF time and space
make them unavoidable. Inexpert re-
porters occasionally get things hope
lessly snarled.
But the chief cause Of misrepre-
sentation in newspapers is the in
ability Of the person interviewed to
say what he means. One OF the most
difficult things reporter has to deal
with is precisely this inarticulateness
of almost every person. People mis-
represent themselves in the heat of
excitement perhaps, and say things
they do not mean. For most of the
statements made to newspaper men
are begot of some crisis or other.
People talk not OILY bad grammar,
but bad sense. But in the cold light
of the breakfast table they are not
emotionable. They do not remem-

said such things; they have been mis-

or they say so If a stenographel

the result would be the same. These
persons simply fail to express them.
selves clearly
AS matter of fact; most expert,
enced newspaper men do misduote
almost daily. They turn ungramm st
ical sentences into sentences which
approximate the rules of speech, and
they are inclined to modify rather
than sensationalize the words Of tht
victim. For most OF these interview
ed persons are entirely Impractical
in expressing their opinions for re.
production. They exaggerate and
they omit. They make libelous state
ments, just as anyone does in pri

because his livelihood depends on hi

LESS COTTON BUT WORTH MORE

Despite the wars interference with cotton exports
better prices for the chief staple of the South have
made the lot of that section much happier than last

bales from the yield of 1914 but the price Decem
