A .MOVE IN FIGHT DIREC
TION.
The city council for 1903, three
dbw members of which were in
stalled the first night in the New
Year, has seen fit to have the min
utes of tho council published in
both of the city papers at the
price of Twenty dollars each.
This gives each paper the pleasure
of doing $100 worth of work for
Twenty dollars. That’s all right!
But, the council goes futber in
its efforts to encourage the papers
of the city by imposing a tax of
$10 per annum upon each of them.
That is still better than the
first proposition. There’s noth
ing like encouraging the agencies
that constantly boom the city—
and the council, too, individually
and collectively. Now, if this is
not enough for the council, just
let them say what else they want,
to do to ns, and we will turn it
around in easy reach.

He Made Carnegie Talk.
Andrew Carnegie’s return makes
timely this story of a reporter who
was assigned to see Mr. Carnegie
on an important public question,
says the New York Times. Re
peatedly refused admittance to the
house, he finally sought out a sen
ator, who was a personal friend of
Mr. Carnegie to help him out. In
the course of conversation the sen
ator handed him his card. Im
mediately the reporter was struck
with a bright idea, and wishing
his genial acquaintance goodby,
repaired once more to the Carnegie
mansion and presented both his
own card and that of tho senator’s.
The great doors swung open, and a
gracious reception was accorded
the newspaper man by the master
of the home.
