Mr. Hepburn, he said, had treated the mcney stringency lightly when he intimated "it was not much of a panic, anyway,” but. said Mr. Clark, in reciting the bank failures, receiverships for railroads, closing down of mills, the men out of employment, etc., “we are asked to discredit the evidence of our senses and to believe that this was not much of a panic.” He wished it were true, but it was not. He quoted from an utterance of former secretary of the treasury Shaw, that the money stringency of 1907 was the worst the world had ever witnessed, but he said Mr. Shaw might truthfully have added: "It is a Republican panic and gives the lie direct to the Republican platform declaration of 1904 —that a Republican tariff is always followed by business prosperity. and a Democratic tariff by business adversity. That fake is exploded; gone where the woodbine twineth, dead as the men who lived before the flood. It helped the Republicans in 1904, but no sane man ever will believe it again forever.” — Champ Clark, yesterday in congress. President Roosevelt has been sensible enough to see the wisdom in several reforms that the Democratic party has been demanding for many years, and he has spoken out right valiantly for them. But so long as he sticks to the "protective” tariff, the centralization of power in the general government to the extent of practically “wiping out state iin.es,” and other federalistic notions, he is a mighty long way from being a Democrat.

WILLIS SPULLER. c a Willis Earl Luckey Spuller, son of ; t John and Martha Spuller. was born in j a Union township, Adams county. Ind., ( on June 19. 1883. and died Feb. 7, 1908. attaining unto rhe age of 24 years, 7 months and 18 days. He grew to manhood in his native state and county, where also he attended its s public schools, and early in his years t showed aptness in study. Being in- ; i dustrious and ambitious for the better ■ < things, his aspiration was to fully I < quality himself for life's calling. He ; ■ attended college at Marion, Ind., and i also at Valparaiso. Indiana. He held < a state teachers' certificate. He was i successful as teacher. He taught three successive years, and was engaged the fourth year when he so i suddenly was taken sick. Two weeks prior to his death he yet filled his place in the school room. Worn after i a day’s work in the school, he lent sympathetic and loving aid in the care ' ; of the sick upon his return to home :in the evening. Disease found an | , easy prey by reason of a weakened , physical condition. Willis enjoyed a large (circle of i friends and acquaintances and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was known as an industrious, clean, earnest young man. He was a member of the Ben Hur order, who' attended the services in a body as a tribute to his memory. He was a regular attendant at the services at' Salem church. Early in his life he was converted, and baptized. He will be missed at the church. I But the loss is most keenly felt by 1 the immediate family, the widowed mother, sister, brother, who feel sorely the loss of Another member out of their but recently broken family circle. Why a life full of promise and service should thus be cut off we cannot tell. It is with Christian grace that we say ‘ Thy will be done” and leave to the future the unfolding of God's providence. There remain to mourn the deeply sorrowing mother, one brother and one sister, many near relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon from Salem church. A large concourse of peo- ■ pie gathered to pay their tribute of respect to the departed. The funeral I i was in charge of Rev. A. B Haist, ■ ■ who sought to bring comfort to the ' bereaved, showing that earth’s sor- 1 j rows come, but there is a remedy pro- ' vided to offset its bitterness. Text ] Ex. 15:23-25. Earth has no sorrow j which Heaven caiiuGt heal. | o I Mr. and Mrs. L'haries Butin left this I noon for an ‘it ended visit through i the northern states.

CONTRACT OF THE NEWSPAPER What It Owes Its Readers and Advertisers. That it is the duty of a newspaper to refuse to suppress the news to please any individual, is the consensus of opinion among publishers. One of them discusses the matter at length and gave his conclusions as follows: “Recently a business man called upon the editor of this paper to suppress a news item. The matter was not of great public importance nor of very general interest, but the business man did not want it in the paper. He said he would promise that it should not appear in any other paper if we would not print it, and he then went on to say that if this item did appear, he would withdraw his advertising patronage from this paper. "Os course in the face of such a threat there was nothing to do but to, print the item, since it was a matter of legitmate news interest, and the management will not permit anyone outside of this office to dictate under threats of withdrawal of subscription or loss of advertising patronage the manner in which we shall carry out our contract with our subscribers to furnish them the news of the day. “It is a queer idea that some people have of the business relations of a newspaper. This paper has many readers, with whom it has entered into a contract to furnish the news of the day. It has a modern building and expensive machinery constructed for the purpose of publishing the news. It employs men and boys for the purpose of publishing the news. It hires reporters to get the news. It pays experienced newspaper men to prepare and to edit the news, giving it prominence and space according to its relative importance. It makes contracts with advertisers to give publicity to th»ir business announcements and the value of that advertising depends directly upon the news value of the paper and the manner in which the paper discharges its obligations to its subscribers.

“And yet when some person for some trivial reason or for a mere notion wants a news item suppressed ( it seems to be the easy thing to ring up the office on the telephone and ask that the newspaper shall violate its contract with all its subscribers, nullify the value of its plant and organization and impair its valut to all its advertisers by failing to do the particular thing that newspapers are established to perform.—Hartford City News. o PUBLIC SALE.
