Readers know what they want,
and VIII pay for IL. On Sunday
this message came from Howey and
Williams, ardent young geniuses,
responsible, respectively, for
the managing editorship and cir
culation management of the Her
aid and Examiner: Twelve o'clock
and We are sold out" Other parts
OF the message are suppressed. be-
cause Christianity says never men
ton anything that would hurt the
feelings Of your competitor.
In New York city also people
know what they want. Hearst's
New York American is the only
SUNDAY newspaper that sells for
ton cents. Other papers sell for
seven. The New York Sunday
Americans circulation exceeds by
hundreds Of thousands that of any
Sunday paper in New York city or
anywhere else In the United States.
These facts are mentioned be-
cause editors and publishers are
interested.
Lowden, Governor of Illinois,
offers Senator Borsh all facts con-
corning Presidential campaign ex-
.penses. This must be said for Mr..
Lowden: What money he spends
lis LOWDEN'S money. That
makes q difference. II a man
spends his own money and is elect
ed, he OWNS himself after cleo
ton.
When q man spends somebody
else's money the owners of the
money that he spent msy own him.
The English, determined wisely
to rule the air as they have ruled
the oceans, announce q flying ma
chine that rises from the deck of
q battleship, flies, returns and
9lights on that same battleship's
deck in safety. This means prog

He rode out with hawk on wrist
and ssnt the hawk for the bird to

The bsttlsship win ride out with
its dyAamite-carrying hawks Of
steel on its deck, sending them out
to kill and come back Tor orders.
j This win make war picturssque.
intellectually, It will enable . Brit
ish hect to anchor conveniently
beyond the range Of guns, of
Sandy Hook, or the Golden Gate, II
the Japanese treaty should make
IL necessary, thence sending flying
hawks~ to drop dynamite on New
York or San Francisco, returning
to the battleships for more sup
plies.
after the thing has been done
somebody in the United States will
wake up once more, spend bill
lion dollars for flying machines in
a hurry and, once more, get moth
ing for the money, except pros
perity for prohteers. ..:
The New York Post, edited by
J. Pierpont Morgan's energetic
young partner, Lamont, carried
yesterday the following headline:
AJohnson Likely to Garry Detroit.
Forces of Unrest Backing West
erner."
The patriotic Englishman
bought a peep-show displaying q
Crimean battle scene. On exami-
ration he found, too. late, that it
represented British defeat He
made the best of it, and shrieked
to crowds at the Derby: "Step up,
ladies and gentlemen; see the
great battle in the front, the
cowardly Russians advancing; in
the rear, the brave Englishmen
retreating!"
The ]. P. Morgan partner, like
the patriotic Englishman, makes
the best of the fact that his side
is being whipped.
Not forces of unrest, but forces
that dislike J. P. Morgan capdi-
dates and policies, are backing
johnson. In Detroit, where six
dollars a day is a moderate wage,
there is no unrest" worth men,
ton.
The international exchange sit
uation is turning rapidly in favor
of England. Yesterday the pound
went above four dollars for the
first time this year. Two months.
, ago the pound sold for 1919. The
hole world will congratulate Eng
/{and on this change. 1t means re-
construction, that the world needs,
and the English are wise enough
to realize that to build themselves
up they must help others to build.
They know they cannot be happy
or successful in England with lot
of national corpses decaying
around them.
