Salem Journal : Mr. Rodgers should realise by this time that the only way to keep a member of the legislature from keeping anything he gets hold of is never to let him set bold of it. His resolution to keep the members from carrying off the codes would have car ried if it had been brought to a vote be fore the boys bad the books in their hands. Senator Fulton, with the approval of the representatives-elect from the dis tricts concerned, has recommended for reappointment Postmasters A. L. Sproul of Ontario and J. M. Perry of Moro, and for appointment J. 8. Van Winkel of Albany. The Washington special adds in this connection that until March 4th Senator Fulton will follow the wishes of Representatives Hawley and Ellis in making postoffice recommendations and after that date the postoffice patronage will be turned over to them.

It would do this by prohibiting all ad vertising matter in the pages ol a news that has been asked. Telephone reports Saturday from Itain ier give the death of T. J. Adams, for merly a farmer here, and having nam The Dallas Itemizer says that "A practical woman remarked the other day that the most interesting things in a newspaper are the advertising col umns. Long ago I quit buying of those who did not advertise. It always seems to me that the merchant who advertises invites me to trade with him ; while the one who does not advertise impresses me with th Idea that he does not care enough for my trade to ask for it. Then too, I have found that the merchant who advertises has fresher goods, for the reason, I suppose, that he sells more goods." The newspaper is for everybody and hence must contain something for every body. If you see something which is of so little interest to you, remember there are others and the entire paper is not printed especially for you. The verv thing that is dull and uninteresting to vou may be the one thing in the paper for some other reader. There are whole pages in the daily papers that are of in' terest to us, but they are not to others. A paper which contained nothing but such matter that would interest any one or another of us would have a limited number of readers. There are many people and many minds. Ex. The supreme court of Wisconsin has just alBrmed a deuUion of Judge Stev ens of the circuit court of Dane county, which will effect every saloon keeper In that state and if enforced would put every saloonman In the Badger state out of business. The decision makes it mandatory upon a common council to revoke the license of a saloonkeeper who violates the law in any particular, and if they do not do so the law is so con strued that they may be compelled to by mandamus proceedings. And it is said that a mayor or common council who fail to perform the duties of revocation may be Impeached, removed from office, and even imprisoned. The Oregon Mist, heretofore a repub lican newspaper at 8t. Helens, announc es that it will br independent in local politics in future. An Independent newspaper may sound good, and there is a tendency amongst editors to be more independent, but still for all that the reading public preter a newspaper, no matter what its politics, that is on one side of the fence or the other. Some persons think that the country news papers ought to cut politics out, vet we notice that wben a election comes round they admire a strong party paper and hare no see for independent sheets with out any backbone. Tillamook Head light. We learn from some of our exchanges that a number of citiee are starting cruiade against the nnley factory whis tie. There is a sure way of abating thi so called nuisance, that is by voting the democratic ticket and giving that party power. A few years ago a man would bad to have walked ten, or even fifteen miles ia the dewy morning before 7 o'clock In order to bear a factory whis tie. Now we bear their notes in every city and a number of villages. It seems m though a person who would kick about the noise of a factory whistle, would find fault with the racket of a harvesting or threshing machine. It is the most cheerful music in our broad land, and the notes of no songs er Is sw-eter or am melodious to our ears than the .land ol the factory whistle that calls th laborer to bis work.

The Jessie Harking, being well sheathed, has been able to make regular trips. not that dai v newspapers could not give their readers the interesting and instructive articles that compose the greater part of tbe space in their sup plements, if they were deprived of ad vertising patronage. The commission proposes a system of penalizing weight to prevent the undue devotion of period icals to advertising. It is suggested that the increment of pottage for the increment of weight above the first four ounces shall be one-halt cent for each additional four ounces. Wm.

The decision Is one that k"tu yar is yuuiuig cannot help but prove a detriment not only to railroads but also to the country at large and public enterprises. Tbe great work that the press has done and ia doing ln the way of publicity f the llarriman crowd is eipected to be present the chances are it will be a "one sided" affair. or every cause worthy of its support can not be reckoned in dollars and cents and members of tbe press have never re ceived any adequate return from the railroad companies or other big enter prises for their services in this respect or have they asked it The exchange of courtesies between the newspaper and the railroads has been one which has been fixed by no bard and fast rules and for this reason has worked to the mutual advantage of both the railroads and events of a pub lic nature in which transportation has been one of the features necessary to success. In lieu of a money consideration for space and the work of bringing advertia ing and reading matter of this descrip tion to the attention of its readers, the papers have accepted transportation, An attempt to abrogate or curtail this privilege cannot but be harmful and un satisfactory to both parties.

The Monon takes the view of the case as held bv the newspapers, and the companv'a attor neys urge that the ruling of the Inter state Commerce Commission denies the freedom of contract to a particular class. The rule, as universally stated and up held "bv the courts, ia : "What the par tiee agree shall constitute the payment, the law will adjudge to be payment. It ia competent for parties to designate by ineir contracts how and in what pay ment may be made. It ia by no means true that pay ment can be only made in money ; on the contrary, it may be made ia property or service." It is to he hoped that the press of the country will take up this matter and aid the railroads in their endeavor to gt a favorable decision from the supreme court. Otherwise it Is evident that the Jamestown exposition, the fair at Seat tie and other national and public enter prises cannot expect to be exploited un less the newspapers receive some return lor their labors.
