The Muzzling of America On the heala of the Taft announcement for Canadian reciprocity a thing happened to terrible in its consequences that from now on what was merely lack of confidence a mere suspicion in general and open proof In several important particulars has shaken the faith in Taft past all possible redemption. This paper has, we believe declared in no mistakable terms for reciprocity. We are for the actual measure in hand in the majority and more than the majority of Instances. But the personal part of this reciprocity measure as far as Mr. Taft is concerned we wait Judgment for reasona which will appear plain enough after the matter we want to talk about now la settled.
The terrible thing that happened is monstrous so unbelievable in many places where absolute proof ia at hand that everyday citizens will find some trouble at first in realizing what it means to them. It is only comparable to the Ballinger-Morgan-Guggenheim steal in which the faith of the people In the Taft administration was nhattered In that it ia the whole thing rather than a little and segregated part of it. The Cunningham claims of the Balllnger dispute and scandal merely in reality stole the control of Alaska by the Morgan interests. This has for its efTect the complete control of the whole American people. Kvery word In that sentence has been carefully weighed that it may accurately express the truth facing America in the attempt of: Morgan's attempt to muzzle the free national magazines of America. Taft's proposal, urgenre and manipulation of. extinguishing them and their effectiveness in the Ight againU Special Privilege in this country.
This Is My 45th Birthday
DAVID F. HOUSTON.
David F. Houston, chancellor of .Washington university, St. Louis, was born in Monroe. N. C. Feb. 17, 1866. After graduating from South Carolina In 1587 he became tutor in ancient
languagea at that institution. From
18SX to 1S91 he was superintendent of public schools in Spartanburg, which position he resigned to take a special
post graduate course in political set
rnce at Harvard university. Finishing
his studies at Harvard In 194 he went
to the university of Texas where he
was professor of political science for
several years and later dean of the faculty. He left the university In 1902 to accept the presidency of the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Texas. After filling this position for six years he became chancellor of Washington university. Dr. Houston haa made a long and extensive study of the race problem and has taken an active and prominent part in the various movements having for their object the uplift of the negro race.
We as a newspaper desire to go on record now as formerly when this controversy was not in the forefront as to the service rendered by the American national magazines with a progressive and fearless policy of telling the truth about the national affairs of this government. The newspaper cannot from the very nature of the case at present do the work the invaluable service which has been done in this country by the American magazines of this sort. This Is a frank statement. Collier's stopped the steal of Alaska and saved this country billions of dollars. The Chicago Tribune the best type of the American newspaper, was able to uncover the ehame of Illinois in the Lorimer case. In both cases the magazine and newspaper were acting within their obvious spheres and tbis makes the obvious difference. What do you thiuk would happen to this country if it were impossible for men to rely on the truth of the things they see in the magazines and newspapers. We do not like to contemplate it. But the fact that from time to time the forces of special privilege use every effort to influence the press both properly and Improperly the fact that publicity pays In advertising and is the force which carries on the business of the Country at the cheapest possible rate of salesmanship that ought to show what tho newspaper business in local and national work is. The fearless and honcBt newspaper is the warrior of the people. The controlled newspaper is a menace. What about the magazines which are the only ones at the present time that can adequately spend months and sometimes years in the most minute and authoritative fashion? They must of necessity be the mainstay of the present time for the wide dissemination of a certain sort of investigation.
A blow at the work which began with the Investigation of the Standard Oil company by Ida Tarbell in the McClure's Magazine and which has continued up till now culminating at the crisis in which Collier's drove Morgan and his forces to cover exposed the great graft in the very administration Itself that Is a blow at the very life of the country.
This article does not now take up the actual controversy over the postal rates for magazines. A hint of what it Involves may be only very meager ly stated: Thlrtyone national magazines are presupposed by the Taft administration to be in the main responsible for the loss of $5,000,000 in the last year to the people in the conduct of the postal business. This in the face of the facts that the postoffice is inefficient notoriously so, not from the fault of the actual men engaged who handle your mail but from gross mismanagement. The railroad and the express companies reap the benefit. They take the cream of the business for the express companies-owned by the same powers that own the railroads and make the government pay many times more for the transport of the mails than the public pays for the same service by express companies including the enormous profits of the companies. This as well as the faults of the postoffice which is being used as the political machine of the Interests and the administration are heaped on the thirty-one magazines who find the postoffice so inefficient and expensive that they are forced to use their own distributing methods for three-fourths of their business. The significance of the attack of the president may be seen from the fact that the magazines have exposed both the men who own the monopolies which profit by the deficit, but also the political bureaucracy which at present is the tool of these Interests. And no one has the slightest doubt any more due to the facts presented by the magazines that the moving force in all this at present is Morgan. Do you see the circle in which this goes? That is the issue.
SALOON CLOSED AS
LICENSE WAS STOLEN
Gary, Ind. Feb. 17. Not being satisfied with robbing him of his stock of select cigars and liquors, two burglars who entered the saloon of Jack Burke, at Twelfth avenue and Madison street, stole his county and city license. Burke was compelled to close his place tihs morning until he could obtain a duplicate from the county commissioners on March 6. "I can easily replace the cigars and liquors," said Burke, "but it is a body blow when I have to close my saloon on account of having no license." The postoffice at Tollston was entered this morning by burglars carrying away the glass of a rear window. The thieves expected to make a rich haul, but the postmistress, Mrs. W. A. Harms, took the stamps and receipts to her home the night before. This is the third time within a year that the Tolleston office has been entered.
STEALS IN ORDER TO
SEE PICTURE SHOW
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 17. Asa Wlllamson, eighteen years old, who weighs more than two hundred
pounds, confessed in police court that he had stolen iron valve caps from the Indianapolis Water company to obtain money to pay his way into 5-cent shows. Mrs. John Williamson, the mother, told Judge Collins that her son was a picture-show fiend. "Nothing will keep him away," she Baid. " I would not give him money to go to the shows and he has stolen from me and now from the water company. I think he ought to go to the workhouse. It will be a lesson to him If anything will." Judge Collins made the fine $1 and costs on a petit larceny charge, and added a ten-day workhouse sentence. Special officer Robinson, at the water company's Riverside plant, detected Williamson stealing the Iron, which would have sold for a very small sum of money.
DOWNWARD COURSE Fast Being Realized by Richmond People. A little backache at first. Daily increasing till the back is lame and weak. Urinary disorders quickly follow; Diabetes and finally Bright's disease.
This is the downward course of kid
ney ills.
Don't take this course. Richmond
yesidents should profit by the follow
ing experience. Mrs. John Sloniker, E. Church St.,
Cambridge City, Ind., says: I willingly confirm all I said regarding Doan's
Kidney Pills, when I publicly endorsed
them in June, 1907. This remedy was of greater benefit to me than any other I ever took for disordered kidneys.
I was afflicted with kidney and blad
der trouble and was caused much an
noyance by too frequent passages of
the kidney secretions. Backache kept
nie in misery and there were acute pains across my loins. I slept poorly, was tired and languid and had but lit
tle strength. Seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, I got a supply at Carpenter's Drug Store and it did not
take them long to drive away my trouble."

FOUND HIS FRIEND BY BOTTLED NOTE San .Francisco, Feb. 17. Through the instrumentality of a bottled message that drifted in from the sea, William Owens, a life convict at San Quentin prison, has made a friend who is trying to induce Governor Gillett to issue a pardon. On the Fourth of July outing In 1908 William F. Ahem, editor of the Coast State Reporter, wrote on his card: "Good luck to the finder," and placed the card in a bottle, which he tossed into the ocean. A short time ago this bottle after two years among the waves, was washed on the prison beach where Owens was working. He opened it and wrote to Ahern. Impressed by the circumstances, Ahern is now trying to obtain a pardon for Owens, who was senteced from Mendicino county for complicity in a murder. He says the jury disagreed on his first trial and he then accepted a suggestion to plead guilty and take a light sentence. Instead of a light sentence be was given a life term.
Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis
Legislators' Perquisites In Spain. Spanish deputies, some of whom are agitating for a salary, already enjoy certain privileges. They are entitled to frank their letters and to travel on all the railways in Spain free of charge. Unlike the Hrench deputies, however, they have to pay for refreshments consumed in the chamber, the only item supplied gratuitously being barley sugar. Of tais there is an unlimited supply, and lady visitors to the chamber are always presented with a packet of this delicacy, which serves to sweeten the debates. London Chronicle.
New York, Feb. 17. How easy it is to get Into an insane asylum is demonstrated by the experience of a young woman in this city. Miss Hanlon, a singer and musician was the possessor of a fine Stradivarious violin which had been presented to her some years ago by Mr. E. H. Harrlman. the late railroad king. She valued the instrument highly and never parted with it until last July, when the violin needed certain minor repairs. She en
trusted the instrument to a friend, who was to take it to a certain music house for repairs. The violin was not returned to her and when she inquired at the music house she was informed that the instrument had been returned to the man who had brought it. Miss Hanlon then went to the police and reported her loss. She was referred to the Harlem Detective Bureau and made her complaint there. She was told to return in a few weeks, which she did, and was then informed that no trace had been found of the violin or the man who was supposed to have it. Miss Hanlon called again on several occasions and finally went to headquarters and reported the case there. To her amazement she was arrested and sent to the psychopathic ward at Bellevue for observation. It was fortunate for Miss Hanlon that he was able to convine Dr. Gregory, the doctor who examined-her at Bellevue. that her mental faculties were by no means impaired. She waa brought to the Yorkville court and, upon the report of Dr. Gregory, discharged as sane. The young woman has many friends and they intend to make it rather unpleasant for the police official who was responsible for the inexcusable treatment which Miss Hanlon had to suffer. During the last few weeks the police have made one of their semi-occasional raids upon fortune-tellers, palmists, mediums, and other fakirs in the city. Most of those who were caught in the dragnet of the police were small-fry, but the other day a big fish was caught. The man arrested is the pastor of a Spiritualist
and that this debt rested so heavily upon bis conscience, that he felt compelled to return the amount of the debt," His conscience, however, waa not strongly enough developed to prompt the man to pay the legal Interest upon this debt of long standing.
congregation in this city, and which is said to numoer about two hundred members, among them some men and women of considerable wealth. It was established that the "pastor" had made it a regular practice to receive
visitors who sought "spiritual advise
ment and material Instruction" and, for a fee of $2 an hour, would give them private seances and advise them
in business matters. When brought, before the court, the prisoner admitted that his advice to his clients, to' speculate in a certain stock was not; based upon communications from! spirit !aiid, but upon a tip from a cer
tain broker. He was placed under $2,000 bond for his good behavior. Conscience occasionally manifests
itself in a highly freakish manner. Ai short time ago a retired merchant in J
this city, who, many years ago, had conducted a grocery store in some Western town, received a letter enclosing $2.50. The sender explained
in the letter that about twenty-five j years ago he had bought coods to, the I
