Did you ever stop to think thata newspaper is a charitable institution? There are are, however, times when the charity of the country editors seems to have been wasted on barren soil and on such occasions he is justified in refusing to again extend the same charity to the same persons the Elgin News. Such cases have come to almost every editor in his career. How many of them have sat up nights studying how to assist some candi- date toland the office he is seeking? How many of them have spent column after column of their paper telling of the virtues of certain lodges, societies, churches or individuals in an effort to assist them over rough places 1n their journey? How many have donated space and advertising to the successful accomplishments of some public enterprise only to have that same church, society, individual or officers of the enterprise as soon as their ends were obtained, rush off to another printing house or go to the city to have all their printing done? This too often the case and though it is hard indeed to kill the charity of a country newspaper man; such treatment is the surest way to do so. Yes, the charity of the country editor for his fellows is surely great, but even this may be overworked and abused sometimes. Karl Riedelsberger, a prominent Spokane musician, raised what threatens to assume proportions of a storm when hedeclared in a signed statement to a Spokane newspaper that he considers the public school system of the United States one of the most inefficient in the world, adding that by paying the teacher less than the janitor and putting the most money into buildings in- stead of talent “it has been a brick versus brain theory.” He suggests that teachers be taken out of poli- tics, making them government offic- ials with positions for life; giving three times their present salary, also unlimited authority over the students and responsible to his profession only. “And,” he adds, “keep the teacher as long as you can and then pension kim. Then you may be able to right alot of evils. Business is not always unselfish; science always is.” BETTER FEELING ON | STI]EK_EXGHANGE p— Substantial Advancs In Prices of All Active Issues. = New York, Aug. : 5—A decidedly better tone prevailed at the opening of the stock market. The London market sent over a higher range of prices and there was evidence of strong support at the opening in New York. Union Pacific was the feature, with an opening sale of 4,500 shares at a sain of 1% points, while Southern Pa- cific, on smaller operations, advanced 2%. There were gains of & point in Reading, Atchison, Erie and United States Steel preferred, with substan- tial fra-'“onal advances in other active issues. e market sold off from the high prices soon after the opening, but showed a firm undertone. Following the first decline there ‘were recoveries which lifted some stocks above opening prices, with egpecial strength in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. This was followed by a fresh selling movement, in which much of the gains were lost. The market was again governed entirely by rumors and reports concerning Mr. Harriman’s health. APPEALS TO HIGHEST COURT Chinese Laundryman Objects to Mon- tana State Law. ‘Washington, Aug. 7 ,—The constitu- tlonal right of a state to enact laws | discriminating against the humble Chinese laundryman is to be investi- gated by the supreme court of the United States and the test is to be made by Quong Wing of Lewis and Clark county, Mont. The Montana law to which Quong takes exception provides for a license fee of $10 per quarter for hand laun- dries run by men. It does not men- tion the Chinese race, but it exempts steam laundries and laundries con- ducted by women unless more than two are engaged. Quong paid his, license under pro- test and then appealed to the courts. * The Montana supreme court sustained COMPLAIN OF ILL TREATMENT Strikehreakers at McKees Rocks Quit in Body. TWO0 HUNDRED WALK OUT Deserters Claim Only About as Many More Are Left in the Plant and As- sert These Will Leave Shortly. Three of the Men, lll and Weak, Faint When They Reach ' Their Camping Place on the Ohia River. Pittsburg, Aug. 2.—Imported men, numbering 200, quit work at the Pressed Steel Car company plant at McKees Rocks and in a body marched to the bank of the Ohio river, where they say they will camp until the com- pany has paid them for their work. Aftor getting the money due them it is their intention, it is said, to return to their homes in various Eastern and Western cities. These men claim there are only 300 ‘workmen left in the plant and that all of them will leave the mill within twenty-four hours. Poor food and un congenial working conditions, they say, actuated the wholesale deser- tions. . . The strikers and thelr sympathizers are jubilant. When the big gates of the plant swung open shortly before § o’clock 2nd the 200 men marched out FRANK N. HOFFSTOT. [President of the Pressed Steel Car Company.] surprise was manifested throughout the strike district. The news spread quickly, however, and within a few minutes both strikers and imported men were on the best of terms. A majority of the imported men who struck arrived here from New York cn Friday, Aug. 13. The men allege that they were given poor food, sub- jected to cruel treatment and that they were forced to work when they want- ed to quit. Three men, ill and weak, fainted when they reached the river bank. James Given of Philadelphia, who is said to have lost thirty pounds in the fourteen days he worked in the mill, was taken to the emergency Hos- pital of the company. HURRIED TRIP TO NEW YORK Harriman’s Physician May Have Been Consulting Specialists. Arden, N. Y., Aug. 2/—Dr. W. G. Lyle, the physician in attendance upon E. H. Harriman, made a flying trip to New York. So far as known here Dr. Lyle’s_visit to the city had not been contemplated and this fact led to re- ports that the physician had made a careful diagnosis of his patient’s case since his return to Arden and had gone to New York to place his conclu- slons before specialists. Mr. Harri- man continues to devote his time to resting and he sleeps considerably during the daytime. Since Mr. Harriman's arrival here Tuesday not more than half a dozen persons outside of the immediate fam- |ily and employes of the estate have |been allowed to enter the grounds surrounding his home. The con- valescent wow has with him his entire family and their devotion to him is shown by the fact that they rarely leave the estate.

Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disordered and when I saw Doan,s Kidney Pills adverti- sed for such complaints, I decided to try them, procuring a box at the Owl Drug Store. . I used them care- fully as directed, the pains disap- peared and my kidneys became much stronger.
