PASSING OF THE WEEKLY The Weekly Democrat, published each Thursday for more than half a century, has been suspended, swallowed up by The Daily Democrat, as it ■were. To many outside this office this announcement will be received with regret, for those who have never missed a single copy, and the reading of one newspaper for many years be-' comes a habit, the breaking of which I is similar to the parting with one of i the tamily. But in this age of rural , routes, parcel posts, electric lines, telephones, automobiles and flying i machines, the weekly newspaper: fades into the pioneer past. There is no time for sentiment, if the publisher would keep alive and abreast of the times. It is up to him to give the people what they want, and that’s where The Daily Democrat “cuts in.’’ We have always tried to make it a paper you would want to read and we shall continue to make that errand our life's work. Suggestions for improvement will be cheerfully received and the instructions followed when possible and feasible. The weekly has given way to the daily. The horse and carriage have been supplanted by the automobile and the other faster methods of speed. We are living as no other generation has lived and whether you “keep up with Lizzie” or not you want to know who is. Subscribe for The Daily Democrat now. At least one editor has learned that it pays to be kind to the reporters. Years ago when William J. Bryan was working as a reporter on an Omaha paper at the wage of S3O a week, Richard L. Metcalfe was his managing editor. Later when Mr. Bryan started the Commoner he persuaded Mr. Metcalfe to be Its manag'n,- e-’itcr Tiiey n'cne together as well as when i rysn was a reporter. Certain it is that Mr. Bryan feels grateful to Mr. Metcalfe for his kindness in those

days and for his loyalty in editing the ] Commoner. Mr. Metcalfe now goes to 1 1‘anarna as governor. The salary is $14,000 a year—slightly more than (editors are paid, even in Omaha. It is said that Mr. Metcalfe likes to wont in his shirt sleeves. This will make it easier for him at Panama, for the weather man says it is very hot down ; there. —Indianapolis News. Jack Johnson has been sentenced to a year and one day in the Joliet prison and to pay a fine of SI,OOO for I violation of the Mann act in bringing a white girl from Pittsburg to Chica go. The negro pug had won the world’s championship and actually believed that he was immune so far as the courts went He no doubt has a different opinion now and may change his mind several times during the next 366 days.

The shower gifts were suspended on a clothes line with clothes pins, the line and pins being a part of the shower, and consisted chiefly of aluminum ware.
