It earns twice over every dollar it receives, and it is second to no enterprise in contributing to the upbuilding of any community. Its patrons reap far more henefits from its pages than its publishers, and in asking for the support of the com- munity, it asks for no more than in all fairness belongs to it, though generally it receives less.—St. Paul Progress. A friend suggests to us that all this note writing which the president has indulged in since the Lusitania was sunk may not be labor lost after all. There will have to be a letter of .ac- ceptance after the St. Louis conven- tion, you know. This is all .very true, but we are wandering how “strict accountability’” and all the other phrases of the past year are going to fit into a document like that.
