CAN'T HIDE HIS CASH ASSETS.

II seems impossible for an editor to
hide from the public the enormous as
sets he accumulates In the newspaper
business. Now II is Joe Dewitt pub
Usher Of the Pioneer Record at Ru-
pert who has exposed the size of his
pile and been sued for ten thousand
dollars for libel by an attorney at
Rupert
II Is noticeable that in all the num-
erous libel suits brought against the
country editors the damage is invar-
iably set at ten thousand dollars. The
libelled parties seem to instinctively
know that ten thousand dollars is the
exact amount of spare cash the edi-
tor has in his sock and the evident
intention is to grab it all Any one
connected with country newspaper
work knows that any editor who
can't accumulate ten thousand dol
lars every few months to hand out
to libelled parties is unfit for the
sanctum chair. The vast wealth pro-
ducing ability of country news
paper Is so well known that any one
can readily understand why in a dam
age suit the sum asked of the editor
is always just ten thousand dollars. |
But the general public finds it diff !
ficult 20 understand how the average |
libelled party ever accumulated a
reputation that could stand ten thou
sand dollars damage and still have
anything left Even Teddy Roosevelt !!
only asked fifty thousand dollars and
finally compromised for one dollar. II
Teddy had some reputation left after
he had pared away that dollars worth

are now second. only a few points from
the peak. The only other winning fea-
ture was Philadelphia's victory over
Cleveland. their first In ten games and
their only one Of the week.
The National scramble Is tighter to-
day. as the first division teams slip
ped slightly. New York falling from
the select four. and st. Louis and Gin
