The Milford Mail In speaking of the trouble of the stockholders of the -Royal Telephone Cos. who are at variance with eaph other, gives mighty good advice to the people. The Mail says, a’mong other things: “Some of our very best citizens, and those who stadd high in social and religious circles have madestatements that are altogether unbecoming, and for which they will very much regret iu after years. We had all much better suitmit to the acts of men, even they do-nut always Ujjree with our mannerof doing things, rather than’ wound the feelings of persons who on all other occasions have been our special friends.” • . r A farmer who has -Been studying the mail order catalogue was about to order a consign ment of sugar from one of them last week, but decided togive one of our home merchants a chance tjO figure on it first. The home merchant wasable to,save him the freight .add two cents a hundred on the goods besides. Os course he got the order. If people would give their home dealers a chance they could save*them money -Ib—a- -majority' of-'-cases: —There Os' nothing gained by trading “sight unseen” with the foreign firms.— Middlebury Independent. TnE clash of the naval bureaus, the resignation o f Rear-Admiral Brownson, and tbat 6 officer’s castigation by President Roosbvelt, has brought a longer string of adverse comment from the press,of the country on the President’s language and his position assumed in the matter, than any act of the head of the administration ha 9 yet called forth. In spite of the comments of the press, President Roosevelt, always resourceful, is not without his customary defense for the decision made in respect to the command of hospital ships. ■■■' nr' —I Simple Remedy for La Grippe. : La grippe coughs are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneumonia.

The 75,000 injuries v and 5,000 deaths from railroad accldeots during the past year suggest the great responsibility of those who engage iu the railroad service to the law of absolute obedience to rules of employers. It is the neglect of this unessential, perhaps, which causes more accidents in the railway service Cmin to any other cuuse. Not that railroad men are any different than other men, far all employes in any service are but human—and it seems to be the part of human nature for men to do things in their own way—taking chances of success rather than to subscribe to any arbitrary rules which must obtain In a system, of government, whether the government of a private or of a public business. The school of obedience in the railway service is more needful than in any other branch of business for it has to take into account both property and human life. Times change the methods Os business in the newspaper, field as well as in other branches of commercialisms. The purchase of that staid old journal, mouth-piece of the English government so far as royalty Is concerned, the London Times, by Mr. Pearson, owner of a string of cheap newspapers, is an innovation that the Britisher don’t know how to accept, don’t you know. William T. Stead, himself a journalist, thinks that Cyril Arthur Pearson is the only hustler outside of America. But how can such a business man as Pearson own and control the London Times and not change its policies? When Mr. Stead referred to Pearson as a hustler he probably had in mind Frank MunseyandW. R. Hearst, the former the originator of the cheap magazine and the latter the originator of the, cheap newspaper and yellow journalism fn America — purely business propositions governed by the cash box.

The Democrats have many times accused the Republicans of using their (Democratic) weapons in a national campaign; and too, with some degree of truth. Several years ago Col. Q, G. Conn, of Elkhart, was an advocate of a tariff commission in order to remove the question of reforming the tariff from politics. The Colonel, we believe, spent no little time and money bringing his ideas on the subject be fore the people. But at the time it did not meet with the approval of the politicians (as a weapntTperhaps) as it was of some politi- -- % , • y*ii. ■ •■-* fc cal moment to keep the question in politics. Now we find that Senator Beveridge is trying to put a bill through for a tariff commission. It is a good weapon now because the Republicans are not sure butihatthe best way to get through the comiDg campaign is to keep the tariff question in the back ground as it is one on which the party is hopelessly divided. Mr. Beveridge’s bill, if passed will remove the question frbm politics. This would kill Gov. Johnson’s boom for the Democratic nomination -for president,- perhaps, as ~J'ohtf Son’S' loog suit is the tariff. It has been said with much truth that of all nations, ouf own is the worst for profanity. The only reason for this is simply habit. Americans, above all other nationalities, are addicted to habits because of our cosmopolitan trend, perhaps. The -ly p. n'otion sbould-be-trained againsjt bad r habits—especially the habit of swearing unconsciously. The use of profanity to satisfy a fit of bad temper, ‘Jr*- ... . is one thing and the qse of. profanity in ordinary conversation with a bright smile and unruffled feeliogs is entirely another. Habit is a peculiar thing to enslave the individual and communities, and*even nations. As a people, Americans have drifted into the habit, evep to the vulgarity, of trying to coax the dollar out of our neighbor’s pocket-and transfer it to our own—by offering him a premium to let go his money. Perhaps there is no other country where the habit is so great among business men and tradesmen of all kinds to keep the

“premium',’and “glitter” before the eyes of the Individual whose dollar we are after, as the American nation Is today. We are becoming seekers after the gaudy and the glitter. Even the children of to-day. will reject the gifts with seprn which were ac cepted by children fifty years ago with the greatest thankfulness aud pleasure. Habit seems to be a great force, it may even govern, nations. THE PRESS AND EMOTIONAL RE- - LIGION. Tiie Elkhart Review, is not a believer in “hired'evangelists.” That paper says that “it is significant that newspapers almost without exception oppose the revivals worked up by hired evangelists.” The Review further says: v “The newspapers are always help mates in such revivals as churches take up in the performance of their functions as teachers of religion, and always lend willing aid to all laudable effort. But in this almost universal opposition of newspapers to the work -of hired evangelists there ought to be a suggestion, for no men in any community come into so close contact with all classes, aod can so perfectly measure the good and evil of emotional movements of any kind,'from a revival to a strike, as in the conducting of newspapers. The unanimity of this judgment on any subject ought to count for much for this reason.” The press may be mistaken, too, as to the results of meetings, such as have just closed in Nappanee. There is room here, speaking of the question, for wideoess of opinion, and V many uncertainties^ The publisher cf the News may not be In full accord with such beliefs, himself, but it is not any more harmful and much more honorable for a

newspaper man to sacrifice bis personal likes and dislikes to other people in the same measure that he does in politics or in anything in which any considerable number of his friends and neighbors believe in, and that he may not believe in, than it is to parade his opinions and wish them to obtain instead of the opinions of church people who do believe in emotional religious work. We believe that the newspaper, to a certain extent, (not its publisher), is a public servant; as much so as the political organ is the servant of its party’s edicts, in the face of the personal opinion of the editor. Since it is not business of the newspaper to engage in religious work, the criticism by the press of those institutions which are engaged wholly in such work, is not in harmony with ttflfTaudable purposes of most news papers, which is to support those things that may do much good and cannot work any harm to mankind. After all, results are what count in this world in whatever walk of life or in business pursuit. The results of the evangelistic meetings in Nap panee are worth all they cost those who assisted in the work, for the work is enjoyed by many people. > OUT IN THE COUNTRY. ,> _ South Bend Times. - JiTou haven’t heard of anybody being thrown out of employment out in the TOnPTrr,".tne'you?

TRY THE BOOMING PROCESS! South Bend Times. Editorially the Elkhart Review \ i of Monday said:, ' “Oue of the most significant evidences or the sad effects of the panic is found in the offerings of real estate in large cities. Bargains of all sorts are to be had in this last of couimhdities to feel hard times. . The -city papers contain pages of .advertisements of this property, much of which is offered to save it from the sheriff The conditions are inevitable after such a period of high prices aDd active movement In nearly all real property. Unproductive real estate, whether home or unimproved land that fs not, paid for, is sure to be sacrificed in many cases to prevent other loss.j. Here is opportunity for trying the Stilwell process of getting up steam, securing manufactories, and doubling the value of real estate. Do the cities whereiu this state of affairs exists know of this process? Jf not, It. should be brought to their immediate attention. There is nothing like experimenting with .such matters.
