 Through the past fifteen years the big leagues have spent more than four million dollars in hotel bills and railroad tickets alone.

Salaries are not included and of course that would swell the sum. Railroad owners and hotel keepers feel friendly toward ball players now, in view of their patronage and no longer regard them as disorderly hoodlums, which once they were somewhat disposed to do It is also true that players of today are more modest and refined in their manner than once they were. Whether they have mended their behavior that they might have welcome at the leading inns or whether the influence of cul- tured surroundings has produced this change is what you might call a moot point. At Iany rate inn-keepers
 give them the iovial mitt and are pleased to rake in the reckoning.

Political FriendS---StOp to
Consider.
Consider.

Editor Dawson News: Believing kind
ness to be the principle that underlies the
whole theory of Christianity, and that moth
ing embeIishes human nature as the prac-
tce of this virtue, 1 write the following:
Deal gently with old age Emblazon these
words on your every thought. Deal gently
with those for whom the beauty of spring
has faded, the radiance of sunshine gone, the
glory of autumn vanished, with naught left
of earth's vintage save the opportunity you
may proffer.
Old age is beautiful, honorable, eloquent;
therefore, give it precedence and listen with
Difference to it's opinions. Oftentimes in
political matters we yield to the opinions
of others without knowing their real i'm
port, hence, think before you speak and con-
slider before you promise.
Take time to deliberate. Do nothing to-
day that will bring regret on the morrow.
From pin feathered flower of youth spring
many of the ingredients of things imperfect.
Drop not the substance to catch the shade,
lest you strike an airy phantom.
Greatness and honor are best won by
worth and merit, and experience tells in
every soil"
For the aged to be ambitious of honor
cherished through labor is but an incentive
of virtue, but for youth to reach out for
title, place or pageantry is vain and selfish.
True honor as defined by Cicero is the
concurrent appreciation of good men. Tai
ent is that power or capacity of mind which
reasons rapidly from cause to effect, which
sees through a thing at a glance and COM
prehendS the rules and principles upon
which it works; which can take knowledge
without Iaborious mental study, and needs
no labored Illustrations to impress prin-
cipIe or a fact, no matter how obstruse hid
den, complex or intricate. All mental supe-
riority originates in the habit of thinking
"a child, like a machine, may be made to
perform certain functions by external means;
but it is only when he begins to think that he
rises to the dignity of a rational being" 1t is
healthy, and only by thought that labor can
be made happy"
This is a time, as politicians, we should
shake off the shack1es of opinion, and re-
member that the age of the honorable, the
virtuous, the talented, the successful, should
not be looked upon lightly, and as citizens
that are liberal, thoughtful and kind we
should with God Almighty give the plaudit,
We'll done, good and faithful servant.
Read Proverbs 28:20, and Leviticus 1892,
and vote "FAVONIUS."

NEWSPAPERS Hit Hard.

If there are any people who imagine that
the effects and depression of the world war
are without interest for newspaper publish
ers it is because they have not had oppor-
tunity to become informed. 1t is the truth
that as an effect of this war The News and
all other papers are paying from ten to fifty
per cent increase for every article that en-
tiers into the production of a newspaper.
And the prices keep on going up. The ad-
vance in white paper is especially notable,
and what is more important print paper is
hard to get Eat times) at the advance.
The News uses paper manufactured by the
International Paper Company, of New York,
one of the largest houses on the CONT
nent or in the world, and yet these people
tell us that the paper supply and prices are
problematical.
VIE are not complaining of the situation.
It exists, and we have to face our share of
it, but We think it is in order that readers
and the public generally should know the
exact situation. How grateful the end of
the world war would be.
