RICHARD OLNEY.

Richard Olney died at his home in
Boston on Monday full of years and
honors. He was one of the ablest law
yers in the country, but his fame will
rest chiefly on his greatness as a states
man. He was Secretary of State in
Cleveland's last administration, and in
that office made for himself a reputation
that will long endure. He had the cour
age of his convictions and he was as
patriotic as he was able. The premier
Cabinet Office of the United States has
been filled by many eminent men-for
example, Jefferson, Marcy, Webster, Sew
ard and Hay-but none were better
equipped for that very exacting position
than this distinguished son of Msssa
chusetts.

sense to divorce politics from the man

manager system was adopted there sew

PETS VS.. PROFIT.

1t is undoubtedly fact that the peo.
pie of Rhode Island prefer to keep dogs
than to raise sheep. In other words, 1t
seems to be the folly of Rhode Islanders
to prefer pets to profit. The law allows
dogs an almost unlimited freedom;
therefore what might be very profit
able industry is disregarded and acres
upon acres OF land admirably adapted to
sheep raising is allowed to remain un-
used. 1t was understood last fall that
the Rhode Island Board of Agriculture
had become interested in the sheep rails
ing possibilities of the State and pro-
posed TO have a bill introduced in the
General Assembly which, if il became
law, would obigc the owners OF dogs tS
keep them within bounds and thus giv'
farmer who was disposed to try sheel
raising a chance to make good. This bill
has been introduced in the Assembly
referred to the proper committee and
hearing has been held, but up to tn

INFLUENCE OF COUNTRY
NEWSPAPERS EMPHASIZED
Courtland Smith Declares That Power
Lies In Repetition,

Country newspaper publishers have an
opportunity to be more influential in their
community than bankers, declared Presi-
dent Courtland Smith of the American
Press Association, in an address on "Foreign
Advertising for Weekly Newspapers" at
the April meeting of the Rhode Island
Press Club in the Narragansett Hotel last
Saturday afternoon.
The speaker said hat their power lay in
repetition, through publicity. AS an in
stance Of the power of repetition, he aver
red that the country had been driven to
war through that means, facts having been
repeated so many times that the people
were finally stirred to action.
According to Mr.. Smith, the three essen
tial points in foreign advertising success
is printing the truth about circulation.
sticking to fixed r,tes aud cooperating
with the advertiser 1t was stated that
the foreign advertis ng was the only field
in which the countr newspapers have un
limited opportun ties for increasing
revenue. Political advertisements were
said to have come to stay, the speaker
favoring law to m Ike the acceptance Of
such advertising obligatory regardless Of
party interest. PRESIDENT Edward A.
