The Oommoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a

probably never equaled in the history of
Amerioan periodical literature. The
unparalleled growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
economic, and sooial problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr. Bryan
contributes his best effort&jand his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study piiblic questions.
The Commoner’s regular suboription
price is $1.00 per year. We have arrang

60 YEARS’
EXPERIENCE
The Spirit of Oheerfullness. Charley Was Frightened.
The American Press. N. Y‘
111 a paper read before the Geor-
;ia Press Association at Quitman,
editor Brantley of the Valdosta
Times emphasized the importance
of editorial optimism. “A ca
lamity howling paper,” he says,
“can pretty soon convince the
people of its community that
every thing is going to the bow
wows, while the paper that stands
in the sunshine and preaches the
gospel of hope and good cheer can
keep life in a community when
conditions are naturally bad.”
Mr Brantley is right, If it is
true that the world is a looking
gltiss to the individual, laughing
back at him when he laughs and
frowning when he frowns, it is
doubtly true of the newspaper.
To change the figure, the press
not only reflect,s but it molds,
public opinion If the tone of
the paper be cheerful, it cantipt
fail to beget a feeling of cheerful
ness and confidence in the minds
of its readers.
Ib is not enough that cheerfulness
should pervade the editorials. It
should extend to the news and
every department of the paper.
The public is now writing its own
editorials between the lines as it
reads the news. In its recent
fight against the beef trust the
Now York Herald relied almost
solely upon ascertaining and
printing the facts, a method more
effective than the strongest edito
rials. The song of the maidens
who welcome the returning victo
rious journal now is, the editorial
column hath slain its thousands,
but the news column hath slain its
tens of tnousands.
, The story of success is worth
more to the commercial interest
of a community than the stories
of a hundred failures, though each
one of them should point a mor
al. It is true that failures must
be recorded. But suppose pub
lishers should make it a rule to
follow each account of a failure
with stories of notable success.
Would not the effect be good?
Moreover, the story of a failure
could be handled so as to attract
little attention while giving all
the facts.
At the further risk of being
considered Utopian we venture
the assertion that a paper can
serve the public better by giving
as little space as possible to the
details of crime. Crime is news
and therefore must be printed,
but why should it be given first
plaoe in the paper, blazoned in
sensational headlines?
This panders to a morbid appe
tite that grows with what it feeds
upon. The yellows in the large
cities justify the practice by the
plea that it sells the paper, but
even this poor exouse cannot be
allowed for the great majority of
newspapers published in the smal
ler cities and towns of the coun
try. The biggest sensation has
soarcely any appreciable effect on
the sales of a paper delivered reg
ularly in the homes of its sub
scribers. By all means let cheer
fulness pervade the press.

To put the brake on the wagon
going down the hill is a help to
the horse, when the wagon is
heavily loaded. But what driver
would think of applying ths brake
to a loaded wagon going up hill?
If he did his sensible horse would
probably balk. Many a man is
in the condition of pulling a load
up kill with the brake set against
him.° When his stomach is out
of order, and the allied organs of
digestion and nutrition impaired
in their functions, a friction is
set up which lias to be overcome
in addition to the performance of
daily duties. A foul stomach
makes a foggy brain, and the man
with a disordered stomach has of
ten to grope his way through the
day’s business like a man in a fog.
He forgets appointments. Prob
lems seem presented to his mind
|‘wrong end to.” This condition
is entirely remedied by the use of
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It puts the stomach and
digestive and nutritive system in
to a condition of perfect health,
and a clear brain, a steady hand
and a light step for the day’s du
ties. When constipation clogs

Pierce’s. Pleasant Pellets will work
an effectual cure of that disas
trous disease.
It is related of a certain young
;man that he went one evening to
call on his best girl. She was un
usually charming and vivacious
at the time and he could, not ro-
sist the temptation to steal a kiss.
The unexpectedness of the attack
took her completely by surprise
and she told him that if he ever
did it again she would inform her
father.
Charley, the young man, did
not think she was in earnest, so
he proceeded, after a brief strug
gle, to give her auother resound
ing smack on her ruby lips.
Breaking loose from his em
brace,.the now thoroughly indig
nant young lady left the room,
slamming the door after her,fully
determined on telling her father.
She had not proceeded far ere her
anger began to subside. After
all, ‘Charley’ was such a nice fel
low and had meant no harm. It
would be too bad to tell papa and
have her audacious caller bounc
ed, as he certainly would be.
While in this frame of mind,she
suddenly ran across the old man
cleaning his gun, preparatory to
enjoying a day’s sport on the mor
row. Knowing she would have to
make some excuse to account for
her unexpected appearance the
young lady, without a blush,said:
‘‘.Papa I have just been telling
Charlie what a fine shot you are;
won’t you please show him your
gun?”
The old man tickled at the deft
compliment, and only too glad to
air his accomplishments as a Nim
rod,after wiping his gun,shoulder
ed the weapon and started majes
tically towards the parlor.'
Charley heard him coming, and
his heart immediately jumped al
most out of his mouth. The old
man, with gun on his shoulder,
opened the door. He looked like
an avenging Nemesis to the fright
ened occupant of the room. The
sight was too much for Charley.
There was an open window only a
few feet away and he immediately
went through it,
The old man_could not account
for the strange conduct of the
young man. He was puzzled, and
disappointed. The ludicrousness
of the whole situation dawned up
on the young lady, and she broke
forth into a merry peal of laugh
ter. Papa demanded an explana
tion of her unseemly levity, and
this is how the story leaked out.
Charley was so badly frightened
that he did not show himsrlf on
the streets for several days, and
he has not called on that young
ladv since.
The new oleomargarine law is
not sanctioned by the Springfield,
111., News, which explains that
while it was passed ostensibly for
the benefit or the farmers, it has
as a matter of fact worked to
their injury, since “the increased
value of the cattle of the country
on account of their fat used in
the manufacture of oleomargarine
is more than the total value of the
butter product.’ 1

Orsa, Sweden, has, in the course
of a generation, sold $5,750,000
worth of trees, and by means of
judicious replanting has provided
for a similar income every thirty
or forty years. In consequence of
this commercial wealth there are
no taxes. Railways and tele
phones are free, and so are school
houses, teaching and many oliher
things.

SKY LINE ON A BUTTON.
Atlanta has more tall buildings than
any other southern^ city. The Equit
able, eight stories high,-was the first
modern office building erected there.
They have been building taller ones
ever since. The Empire is fourteen
stories high, and now one of the banks
Is getting ready to build a sky-scraper
sixteen stories high on a corner lot.
The lot costs $145,000 six months ago.
Sixty years ago tuis lot sold for $500.
Frank Weldon, Secretary of the
Fair, has adopted a picture of tall
buildings as a fit emblem for an At
lanta button to advertise the big fair,
October 8-26.
Buffaloes which once roamed the.
western plains in herds numbering
thousands, are now almost extinct.
It is seldom that a buffalo is seen
outBide Yellow Stone Park, where the
Government is trying to preserve a
few specimens of this animal. Half
a dozen parks and menageries have
from one to half a dozen buffaloes.
The Southern Inter-State Fair, At
lanta; is negotiating for a small herd
to be exhibited free at the fair
grounds.
$25,000 IN PREMIUMS.
Copies of the Atlanta Fair’s live
stock, poultry and other premium
lists have been revised at this office.
The Fair offers $26,000.00 in premiums
and purses. Copy of the premium list
may be obtained by writing Frank
Weldon, Secretary, Atlanta.
The Fair has spent thousands of
dollars In former years on its live
stock shows.
in oraef to bring out more home cat
tle, the entries for cattle premiums
this year are restricted to the south.
In former years, the professional ex
hibitors from the ninth and west have
come south and carried away thous
ands of dollars in prizes.
This time the money is offered only
to southern herds, and It is believed
that this will bring out a large dis
play of home cattle..
