Thy earrter, efty, Coyle Right in Pardoning Stagg fd0 @ month. Lieutenant-Governor Coyle is distinctly to be commended for pardoning George T. Stagg, the young newspaper reporter who kidnaped his own child. Stagg has served the greater part of a year in the state penitentiary. That is pun- ishment enough for the offense committed. The child who was stolen from the mother was returned before the father was even arrested; the woman who helped in the kidnaping went free; the mother, judge and prosecutor have joined in urging the pardon. The 10-year minimum which the law in this state makes mandatory for kidnaping, surely was never intended to apply to such a case as Stagg’s. If it was, it ought long since to have been amended, because it is not in accord with present-day ideas. Stagg has paid sufficient penalty for his impetuous act. Lieutenant-Governor Coyle did right in pardoning him. Roosevelt’s Good Advice Today is the anniversary of the birth of the most virile man ever tm American public life-—Thpodere Roosevelt. One of the finest things he wrote: “When home ties are loosened, when men and women tease to regard a worthy family life, with all its duties fully per- formed, and all its responsibilities lived up to, as the life best worth living, then evil days for the com- monwealth are at hand.” That, written by T. R. in 1906, is especially good advice for to- day. A professor of the University of Kansas says Americans should be Proud of jazz. He reminds us of sn old fellow up in Skagit county who was prowd of a wart on the third finger of*his left hand and wouldn't wear @ ring because he didn't want to hide it. 2388 i! g g Fy § ie i i ? i!

But advertising in a newspaper which has only a hand- ful of subscribers ts obviously money wasted. Se the whole thing revolves in a circle. Without subscriber sup- port the newspaper ¢annot give value received to Its advertisers, and without advertising it cannot produce the sort of newspaper which will give value received to its subscribers. And thus the whole community is discredited to the outside world. A prosperous newspaper be speaks a prosperous town. But the main reason why you should subscribe to your homo town paper is that without it you will not be up to date. You will not know what is going en around you, If one whom you have helped forgets to be grateful, keep right on being kind—the bread you cast wpon the waters will surely return from some source to you.

WM. E. BARTON CALLED upon western city, and enjoyed & very pleasant nf with him. ‘Hé asked me at what hotel I was stopping, and when I told him, he inquired, “Are the rates satisfactory? Are they giving you 00d service?” I told him that the hotel was a good one and that the rates, as hotel rates now run, were satisfac- tory. Said he, “We have been insisting that our hotels shall keep their rates at a reasonable figure. It Is not good for our city to get the reputation of robbing tourists.” I found the rates much higher for the same class of accommodation. I judged that the work of that editor had been fruitful.
