TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The Journal earnestly requests its
corespondents to send in "tht news of
cneir 'TCspcvxivc vviii"n" ...-...-the
present owners of the Journal tool
charge of it. they were conducting the
Industrial Weekly. That papr hid a
large corps of correspondents, eountry
news being one of its strong Uatures.
On' it discontinuance we commenced
sending the Semi-Weekly Journal in
its place to all correspondents at the
am time timing correspondents to
fcend in their letters to the Journal just
as they had been doing for the In
dustrial Weekly. One or two acceded
to this request, but the great majority
ignored it.
We are writing this to get our friends
interested again. Send us the news of
your community . It will take but a
little of your time and it will be a bene
fit to your community to read it as
pverv nerson there will be interested in
j
knowing what you have to say. l et
us hear from you. Matter for Tuesday's
issue of the Semi-Weekly should reach
us Saturday. That for Friday's paper
should reach us by Wednesday.
TO MUCH CIEMENCY.
In a recently published statement
Mayor Carter Harrkon of Chicago
denounce the leniency of the courts
with respect to men caught with pistols
in their possession. He cites with ap
proval the action of a judge in fining
a man JaOO, the limit in Illinois, for
carrying a pistol. - More often than
not the courts are too soft-hearted.
Some times,' we suspect, they are even
afraid of making enemies. There is
grave need of men on the 'criminal
bench who have courage and firmness.
There used to ba a judge in this ?tate
who was described as being "as cruel
as the grave." Instead of being cruel,
he was just and being slandered was
one ol the penalties that ho had to
pay for displaying a little backboner-

HEARTLESS.
The more the operations of capital
are probed the more devious and brutal
its dealings appear to be. farticularly
does this seem to be the case in the
North where distinctions of caste are
sharper and where the very rich have
come to believe that a mere existence
is all that the very poor have a right
to expect.
According to the testimony of is
social worker there; is a New York
canning concern which employs child
ren of only five and six years of age
and old men and women, working them
filthy surroundings anrj com
pellinc them by the smallness of the
wages paid to live in squalid and un
wholesome camps.
There is a great hue and crv in the
South for manufactures but if thev
cannot be had without the heartless
ness as to the operatives that has been
found to prevail to such an extent in
the North, we want to see the South
continue to be behind the times so
far as manufacturing is concerned.
Of course there is a possibility tht
both the Progressive and the Republi
cans parties will stay in the field during
the corainc uuadrennium. Fortune
is favoring the Demociatic party and
seems that thore is'no'.inhg too good
for it to hope for.
Turkey cannot be blamed for causing
the Deace conlerer.ee in London to be
a long-drawn-out aha'r. Hghting with
arguments is a much less disagreeable
form of activity than the sort ol 'ilit
in that Turkey had to nut up v.ith

House Democrats are assailing Presi
dent" Taf ft ordei blacins: lotirtn class
postmasters under the civil aervie and
with justice. His course in this con
flection- was an exhibition of one-man
power that was flagrantly contrary to
he scirit tof he institutions of the
country.
Governor Chase E. Osborn of Michi
gan" ha joined the get-together chorus
f the Republican party. The combined
vote of Taft and Roosevelt was con
siderably greater than that of Wilson
andt the painful results of scattering
the ammunition are hourly becoming
more apparent to both old-Fine and
Progressive Republicans.
Governor Wilson had the nerve to
go to Chicago and tell "big business"
what it had to do to escape some fur
ther attention from him later on.
The President-elect is thoroughly con
vinced that business conditions in this
country are not what theyought to be
nd until he is shown otherwise he is
going to keep' on contending for the
rule' of r'Rht.

no telling. One or the other system or

Elbert Hubbard was fined the other
day lor sending immoral matter through
thotnails, he having pleaded guilty
to the charge.- Little incidents such
as this arc liable to hurt the influence of
i-'ra F.lbertus. He is a very gifted man,
but that hi iurl nence is harmful we
think there can be ro"do9bt. In fact
there is too much literature to whose
whoiesomeness there can be no doubt
for matter of the questionable morals
f Hubbard's to have any vogue.

What happened to I.orimer and
Archbald shows that public men must
letup their skirts clean. both men
have been disgraced and are to be pit
ied, but the surtness with which justice
vertook them is the impressive thing
about the events in which they figured.
Morre and more the nation is demand
ing clean men to do its work.
Looks as if it is regarded us unsafe to
let them serve for long. Ir fact, this
thing of making the editor Senator
for a tenday ptrio-.! is a very indifferent
sort ol compliment. Mien a public-
spirited, long-stilt'ering, everljstingly-
at-it servant of the people as yo editoi
is should be handed a Senatorship on
a siler waiter every row and then and
told to keep it as long as he desires.
HILL AND THE HOUSEWIVES.
James J. Millet he noted riilroad Man,
breaks into print again by advising
the housewives of this country, when
they go to market, to buy the be?t of
everything, that being, he says ,in the
long run the cheapest. Circumstances
alter cases. There arc some housewives
placed under such circumstances that
it would be folly for them to buy the
best of everything, . Cut it is note
worthy that Mr. Hill permits himself
to be interviewed on almost everything
except what he is supposed to know
most about. What he thinks about
the problem as to how to stop the awful
carnage ol the American railroads
would be more . interesting than his
views as to what the American house
wife oi ght to do when she goes to
p:arket. , - '. "
