GOvERNMEN TRENTS.

Washington. D. Cit is announced
that the Treasury Department will at
tempt to cut down expenditures for
rent of offices for Government pur-
poses throughout the United States.
The announcement indicates that the
chief efforts will be to cut rent ex-
penses in the larger cities outside of
Washington. The fact is, however,
that there is probably as great oppor-
tunity for rent-siving in Washington
as elsewhere. A number of the Gov
eminent bureaus for which special Of
fees were rented in private buildings
during the war are still occupying
these offices at high rentals, nothwith-
standing there are numerous war
emergency buildings which could be
utilized. The Bureau of the Allen Prop

Several men who are interested in
mining have been elected to the Six
ty-seventh Congress. Among these is
Samuel D. Nicholson, Republican, OF
Denver, Colorado, who has been elect
ed to the Senate to succeed a Demo
crat. Nicholson went to Colorado in
1881 when Leadville was a center OF
ming activity. He was then twenty
two years of age and had only twenty
five cents in his pocket. His first job
was shoveling snow as section hand
on the railroad; from that he went to
work with pick in Leadville mine;
later he staked out claim of his
own; made failure of it; worked in
a coal mine until he had accumulated
a stake; studied mining engineer
ing; worked his way up from day Ia
borer to manager and owner. He has
always taken an active interest in the
public schools; was one of the early
aggressive advocates of equal suf-
frage, and was prominent in war ac-
tivities during the recent conflict. He
was elected to one of the Scholarships
which the Republicans were in doubt
about carrying.

DECISION OF COURT
UPHOLDS NEWSPAPERS
Chicago's Lawyer Sued Tribune For
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Loses His Case.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES have a
right to decide for themselves what is
news, regardless of its effect on any,
one, according to a decision of the
state appellate court made public to-
day.
The decision was in the case of
Attorney William Reeda, suing the
Chicago Tribune for 100000 dam
age.
Mr.. Reeda, a candidate for supe-
rior court Judge in 1917, resented the
action of the Tribune in publishing a
facsimile of a portion of a specimen
ballots. The published portion named
all parties except Mr.. Reeda, who was
an Independent candidate. The Trib-
une did not consider Mr.. Reeda an
active contender
The opinion of the court said it
was clear that a newspaper, in the
dissemination of matters of public
interest, has right to abandon any
it may have established,
or to add new ones, or to change its
policy, political or otherwise, at IT'S
pleasure, and as it may seem best,
either for its own or the public's
welfare.
