Aug. 19. Editor The Ar gus; As to the attached editorial from your paper (one recently appearing on I can not and should alleged paper makers' trust nor should you. But, frankly, there is also a. newspaper trust, is there not? If you are under ( a con trary belief, attempt to start a met ropolitan daily without the consent and approvel of the Associated Press and, regardless of your financial re sources, see where you end. Both trusts, if there is any trulh in statistics, are "robbing the people of this country," not only of "GO mil lions" but their guaranteed privileges. With you I agree there .will be no tariff revision "so long as a republi can congress is in power," and there should not be along special lines lines affecting you or me and exempt- ins our neighbor. Wood pulp and print paper have no more right to ex emption or taxation than a hundred other items in the schedule. What is patriotically wanted is to get away from our individual commer cial interests. The mistake is made editorially that the reader, the voter, does not see and know this. Sufi- merge your individual interests in the common good. Illinois this time, if never before, is politically a pivotal state politically swinging in the balance. The pen dulum mav swine one way or the other in the final count. Ordinarily a republican, I am not a partisan nor given to excesses in the expression of opinions, but it is my conviction the time is rine for a change, nationally and locally. Sincerely yours, RICHARD W. LED WIT II 155 Washington street. As far as the existence of a news paper trust is concerned, there is no monopoly on news. The Associated Press cannot and would not attempt to interfere with the establishment of a newspaper anywhere. Us consent is not needed in any instance it has orld-wide field and serves rs who contribute to Us maintenance. If those publications served by it have superior advantages they pay for them and if they triumph over those that are not so iortunate it is a case of the survival of th'e fit test. There is no trust newspaper publication or in the 'gathering and dissemination cf news. But there is a trust in news print paper that is brincins the iniquities of tariff protec tion home to every publisher in the lai.d. 0:30 a.',s not neett Ev-n-Pts own wo its member I nmintpnnnrr Origin of Pommts Soufflee.

I SIXCJ THE lM-:i)AI-. A crowd of campers was gathered about their tent one quiet evening not long ago. Every one was in a medita tive mood and not much given to com munication. In the distance a band was playing and the crickets were ever so busy with their songs. One of the young ladies who was listening to the band, remarked: "Doesn't that sound beautiful?" "Yes," replied one of the young men who was evidently listening to the crickets. "And do you know I have heard that they make that noise with their hind feet?" TIIUI'KIIT SIII-: KNEW. A good story is told of a young wife in Rock Island. Her husband and an other man with the instincts of a nim- rod were talking on the subject of hunting. Finally their conversation turned to trap shooting, and her hus band told his friend that he had hit a certain number of clay birds out of so many trials. The young wife listen ed attentively, and finally decided to let her husband know her views on hunting birds. "John," she said severely, "I think it is a very cruel practice to shoot those innocent little swallows." "I wouldn't think of shooting a swal low, dear," replied her husband. "But you spoke cf shooting the clay birds," she retorted; "and it is the swallows that live in the clay." She was very much relieved when the fact that clay birds are really made of clay and that they, are used for target shooting, was explained 1o her. NOT DEAD, HIT SI-EEPINCi. A well known resident who is out lafe o' nights occasionally, came home one evening last week, slipped around to the back dooij, and took off h'.s shoes preparatory to making a quiet entrance. He started to climb the stairs to the porch, but before he had taken a second step he saw something that froze the marrow in his bones. There, turned up toward his gaze in the soft moonlight, .was the face of a negro girl, the body wrapped in news papers lying prone in front of the door. Every remaining hair on the THE gentleman's head slowly assumed an (erect position,-while the cold chills; chased each other up and down his spine. When he had finally collected his faculties enough to make a get away, he summoned two or three of the neighbors, and a joint investiga tion was made. To everybody's relief it was found the intruder was not dead merely sleeping and she was rous ed up and given a cot inside for the night. Later the gentleman learned that this was not the first occasion on which the same girl had been found sleeping on porches at night. It seems that she has a step-father of whom she is in mortal dread, and a number of times she has been driven out at night. When this happens she generally hunts a covered back porch for shelter. As a rule she is up and gone before the owner of the premises is astir. NO WOMAN TOI.D HER. She was spick and span as she wheeled her baby up Second avenue. Immaculately clad in white, she drew all eyes, for a pretty woman with a pretty baby is admired by all normal men and envied by all normal women, especially when fashionably and be comingly clad. When you met this particular lady you could not resist the temptation to look back, and, sad to say, a single glance spoiled the whole effect. Four buttons at the top of her waist were unfastened and for six inches the garment lay wide open One could easily imagine how morti fied she would feel if she could see that terrible gap and it was a simple thing to guess how it happened no doubt the baby had demanded atten tion for a moment and interrupted the making of her toilet just, at this point 'and she had failed to resume a't the .place where she left off. She was ' not to blame. She deserved sympathy. Somebody ought to tell her. Though the reporter was in the habit of "brac ing" people anywhere and at any time Vie did not feel quite- equal to the task of breaking this particular bit of news,,l4"tTJTspartleular lady, but if he had been one of the numerous women who noticed the flaw in her toilet, especially one of those to whom she stopped and spoke, he flatters himself he would have had the nerve to have whispered something in her ear.

The boy a few Sundays ago attended church with his mother. At dinner he broke into the con versation with the announcement that he would not go to hear that preacher anymore. Askd why, he said: "Well, you spanked me for swearing, and he did it right along. I aint goin to his church no more." Sugar Sale.
