THE FELLOW WHO
NEVER SUBSCRIBED

A gentleman just stepped in this of.
flee with a statement which this pa
per had sent him for a subscription
extending over a period OF approx.
matcly two years. Stepping up TO the
desk he said. This bill is incorrect, l
am not a subscriber" Accordingly
We took his word for it and cancelled
the statement, also his paper. 1t
seems passing strange to US that peo-
pie like this man never think of the
fact that they are not a subscriber
anti they are presented with a state
met = is then that it occurs to them
that they never subscribed for the pa
per, never beforel II is all we'll
enough to get something for nothing,
but We do not think that this is a
good principle OF business. During
this mans subscription or non-sub-
scIiption TO this paper he received
frUm us just $40 papers; that stock
cost US about $3.50 aloae, without fig
uring the time OF the pressman in
turning out the paper, or the machine
mans in setting II up. or the report
er's who wrote it. When these times
are included the total would be quite
substantial sum. All OF this the
gentleman who did not subscribe got
for nothing. He could have saved us
this expense, saved himself getting
the statement and done away with
the necessity OF coming here with that
statement to inform US that he was
not n subscriber on the very first
night he received the paper. Suppose
poultryman left eggs with you for
several mornings, without authorize
ton from you. Naturally you would
so to him and advise him that you did
not order the eggs and did not desire
him to leave them any longer. II you
were in our subjects position you
would allow him to go on leaving his
commodity until he presented a bill
covering 1t when you would politely
advise him that you did not order
them and did not intend to pay for
them. Your newspaperman Is no diff
ferent from your poultryman. He is
entitled to pay for his wares II you
take advantage OF his service and
read his paper; II you do not intend
to pay for the paper he is entitled to
know it at the very outset.
II Is perhaps not generally known !
that there there is federal law
which compels the receiver of a news |
paper to pay for 1t until he himself
notifies the publisher to discontinue
supplying II to him. This regardless
OF whether he ever subscribed or not, !
the spirit of the law being based upon
the proposition OF contracts that If
one accepts the benefits derived from
the efforts OF another and does so tao
titly, he Is presumed TO assent to the
contract upon his part. Under this
law tho newspaper man, If he chose
so to do. could compel people like our
friend TO pay for his paper. But we
choose not to do so. Whether or not
he appreciates the chcapness OF his
own position we do not know. II does
not benefit us II he does. There is a
satisfaction IN knowing In our own
hearts, however that he Is man OF
poor business principles and little idea
OF fairness. In future we will know
what to expect of him.

AMERICANS GET EIGHT
Of TEN FOE BATTERIES.
Artillery's Accuracy Attested on
Picardy Front-German Rear
Lines Torn Up.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Wednesday, May 22.-The
accuracy Of the American artillery
fire on the Picardy front is attested
by information that eight out OF ten
German batteries which have been ac-
tive in riding the American po-
sitions have been destroyed by the
American artillerymen since their en-
try into this sector. Aerial photo
graphs show that direct hits were OBJ
tained in most instances.
In addition to this. the American
guns have been busy in tearing up
the enemy's rear lines and setting his
ammunition dumps and billets on fire,
while patrols from the American lines
have been harassing the Germans
nightly.
The marked increase recently in the
enemy aerial activity along this front
has raised the question whether 1t
may not be a prelude to new action
by the enemy infantry. Whether or
not this be the case, the American
troops holding the line are becoming
restless and eager for a chance to get
at the enemy. One hears frequently
the conviction expressed that II the
numbers are anywhere near equal the
Germans will be given an unwelcome
surprise.
Already the American resourceful-
ness on patrol has caused the Ger
mans considerable alarm, according
to prisoners, who readily admit that
the Americans have few equals in this
style OF fighting.

900, 900. in four hours yesterday aft
ernoon. The Senate added $226.000.-
900 to the House bill and the meas

Much of the debate was over prohi-
bition against "stop-watch" or other
time studies in plants doing Navy
work and against bonuses for en-
ploye' suggestions for improve
ment or economy in operating gov
ernment plants. Both were retained.
For Work on Program.
Tho Senate committees redraft to
make more emphatic the provision
in the House bill for beginning
work on the unfinished part Of the
three-year building program by July,
1919, was approved without discus
sion. Construction of superdread-
naughts and battle cruisers, provided
for in 1916, has been held In abey-
ance for building destroyers to bat
tie German submarines, but the pres
ent bill proposes starting work on
each of the more than $50 ships pro-
yided for in the three-year program.
The Senate retained the increases
proposed by the naval committee for
new projects and extension at navy
yards and stations, and in addition
provided. at the request of the Navy
Department, $12,000,000 more for ship
batteries and $11.000.00O more for
ammunition.
Permanent increase OF the enlisted
strength Of the Navy from $1,000 to
131, 900 men, and the temporary in
crease to $4,000 men. was approved
without objection by the Senate.
