In St. Louis there has just been celebrated the tri- ‘mph of an idea, Twenty-five years ago a bankrupt Newspaper was sold at Sheriff's sale for $2,500. Its new | proprietor had an idea, “public service.” That was his g pniy capital. He undertook to make his paper useful to/| © the community, to make it, as he expressed it, “the organ of truth.” He thought the people would appreciate the $ service, but that was their affair, not his, It was his|% part to produce an honest, independent newspaper, work- tog always in the public interest, and it was for the pub- ‘Me to say whether that paper should live or die. Yesterday's memorial issue of the St. Louis Post-Dis- (patoh tells the results. The daily circulation of«the paper increased in twenty-five years from 987 copies to 17,045._ in the firet year after the purchase it printed 1,234 polumns of advertising. Nearly half as many—603 col- @mne—were printed in yesterday's iesue alone, surpas- ing all records ever made by any \newspaper, not ex- sapting the previously unprecedented figures of the twen- | eth anniversary number of The World. ‘When the Sunday edition of the Post-Dispatch was ‘(Marted in- 1887 {t had an average ciroulation for the year | | « What a,goshamighty hall!” ; Oh!

To in- sinuate to one of the Western Roosevelt worshippers that the President would go out of his way to play politics would be the cue for you to call for assistance. “Roosevelt has his boom planted in enough States ta insure his nomination unless he puts his foot into some- + thing 0 deep between now and cgnvention time that he can’t get out with his shoe. - And that contingency wouldn’t ‘be a safe bet as long as he has young Mr. Loeb White-House broken to stand for the mistakes of the ~ administration. The South is against him good and plenty, but 90 per cent. of the dinge delegates to the Republican National Convention can be bought with a $10 bill, and 50 per cent. of these would fall for $2 if it came to-a showdown. The big leaders buy those votes ag openly as they bay drinks.” “Why did they choose Chicago to hold the convention in?” asked the Cigar Store Man. “Because,” answered the Man Higher Up, “there are so many railroads there that it "ts possible to get out of town within an hour after the convention adjourns.” / An Osculatory Mayor.- - At Newoastle-on-'Tyne at periodic {tervals the Mayor and poration assert thelr rights over the shores-of their na- tive river by proceeding in state to various pointy, where they proclaim thelr authority.
