The Chicago Tribune stated in its
editorial column on Sunday that there
had been three hundred murders in the
city of Chicago during the past year.
and only three Of the murderers were
made to pay the supreme penalty for
their crimes. In any of the large

have been turned about Out Of
three hundred murders it is doubtful
whether three would escape the gal
lows or the electric chair in Canada.

Editor v. E. Dow, of Greeley, was
a business visitor in Manchester, last
Saturday. Mr.. Dow is considering
very seriously of quitting the news
paper game and going to Oregon, to
engage in fruit and chicken growing.
If the print paper situation does not
loosen up soon a lot of the newspaper
men will be obliged to change their oc-
cupation. About one-half OF the sales
men for paper houses tell us that they
are out of print paper, and those who
do have some are not anxious to let
loose of it at 91s and 10 cents per
pound. While the prices OF print
paper have gone sky-high, the most
serious question which confronts
every publisher is whether he can get
it at any price.
