THE NEWS TRIBUNE IS HURT

The News Tribune is hurt Last Saturday it
devoted two and one half columns of what we call
editorial matter for lack of better name, to the
candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes for president
Naturally the News Tribune could not be original
Originality is taboo in the News Tribune. 1t is
heinous crime. The editorial writer evidently
realized this he clipped almost a column from
the Portland Oregonian, stand pat paper.
The editorial purDorte,, to tell us what Charles
b. Hughes would not have done if he were in Presi-
dent Wilson's place.
With characteristic disregard for the truth and
with the characteristic brainlessness manifested by
most papers Of its type, it makes several bunders
Blunders that the average grammar school pupil
of Duluth could refute.
It mentions the Parral incident The Parral
incident, everyone knows, the killing of
several negro cavalrymen who had crossed to the
Mexican side Of the border. The News Tribune men
tions it thus: g when American troops
were treacherously attacked *'
! Now it so happens that the captain in command
of this 'roop, in his official report said that it
was the fault Of the Americans. The report said the
troopers had been warned by Mexicans that the
invasion Of Mexican territory by soldiers Of the
United States would amount to declaration of war
and that the Mexicans would fight. Yet these negro
troopers spelling for fight, disobeyed their orders
and invaded Mexican territory.
! The News Tribune claims that America was in
suited by the killing Of these soldiers even though
their captain admitted that they in the wrong
and had disobeyed orders.
The troopers paid with their lives for their dis
obedience.
And you American mothers, and you American
fathers, just few questions.
Would you allow soldiers of foreign army, who
were modified on your boundaries, armed and
spelling for fight, to invade your country?
You would resist such an invasion, wouldn't you {?
Honestly, now, do you blame these Mexicans, who
love their country?
They afraid Of American conquest And they
have reason to be.
William Randolph Hearst and papers like the
News Tribune have frankly urged the annexation
of Mexico
Do you think Mexico is going to allow that to
happen without protest?
just put yourself in the Mexcan's place. Be fair.
And the News Tribune says that Woodrow Wilson
should not be president of the United States be-
cause OF the Parra Incident because he was Just and
fair. The News Tribune would have had him annex
Mexico Immediately afterwards and plunge this
country into war; A war that you, American fathers
and mothers would pay for with the lives of your
children.

Uncle Sam Offers

The small grocers. butchers and small
manufacturers of Omaha are manifest
ing interest in a standard system of bust
ness accounting which the federal gov
crnment has worked out for use in such
establishments. The federal trade COM
mission at Washington, realizing that
the small retailer and manufacturer does
business at a disadvantage because OF a
lack of some method in accounting that
will enable him to keep an accurate ac-
count of cost and selling prices, has
worked out this standard system. The
government has offered to furnish the
system to the email business man with
out cost
J. J. Cameron, secretary of the Omaha
Retail Grocers' association. has received
a letter from the federal trade commits
sion offering to supply data on this new
system and reading in part as follows:
THE small manufacturer. the country
store keeper and the retail merchant
often do not get at the banks the credit
they ought TO receive, owing to the fact
that they are unable to present balance

practice. These men. as a rule, are just
as good business men, in many respects.

COST OF OIL GOES
UP; BURNERS OUT
Those Who Failed to Make Contracts
for Oil Find It to Be a Great
Expense Now.
Is COSTING SOME 50 PER DAY

The advance in the price Of oil is
something that has brought grief to
large number of the people Of
Omaha who installed oil burners last
fall. and this fact alone has caused
great many to go back to burning
coal in their furnaces.
During the early fall when the
craze for installing Oil burners was
at the top notch, representatives Of
the oil companies followed the men
who were putting in the burners and
made contracts with consumers at
4 y cents per gallon for the distillate,
the by-product, to be used In the
burners. All at once the companies
ceased making these contracts and
the individuals who failed to get
under the wire with contracts found
themselves at the mercy of what
they have since termed a monopoly.
Along in November the distillats was
jumped up a cent a gallon, and little
later 1t was pushed up TO 6M cents, q
price that is still maintained.
With the distillate bought at ~ cents
per gallon. people who have been using
1t in their oil burners figure that the
cost is about 10 per cent more than for
the best grade OF coal
Since the price OF distillate has been
pushed up 20 6h cents per gallon. there
are some who are using II who estimate
their fuel bill to be around 81 per day in
not extremely cold weather.
Those who have burned the distillate
and who have kept a strict account OF
the cost assert that by practicing or
binary economy, prior to the last cold
snap. even II the distillate was bought at
the lowest price offered during the sea-
son, tie fuel bill was about $50 per month.
II is asserted that the foregoing esti-
mates are made by men in whose homes
the oil burners were working at their
best and In furnaces where the combus-
ton was perfect. In other furnaces
where the burners would not convert the
distillate into gas and where the oil in
stead of the gas burned. the cost was
considerable more, it being recognized as
a fact that the distillate when burned did
not throw off nearly as many heat units
per gallon as did the gas generated.
