D D D ' WHAT IS NEWS AND WHAT IS ADVERTISING a A great many people outside the newspaper business fail to distinguish distin-guish wilfully or otherwise tho difference dif-ference between news and advertising. advertis-ing. Ncaily every day tho fellow is encountered who "wants to give you somo news," but seems very much offended of-fended If you tell him that his "now" I. advertising ,pure and simple. In I l.o last Issuo of tho llupert Pioneer Record a fine distinction is drawn between news and advertising and we present It herewith: "There Is n decided difference bo-twen bo-twen advertising matter nnd news. Lint the fellow who Is looking for boiih thing for nothing never appears to be able to find tho distinguishing line. The anticipation or announce-me.it announce-me.it of uny event which Is to occur Is advertising nnd nothing else. The ut count of something that has Imp lie. eu Is news. ICvery nrtlclo which appears In any newspaper anticipating anticipat-ing something for its town or community, com-munity, or advocating some new enterprise en-terprise or Industry Is advertising tlen freely nnd without stint by tho publisher In consideration of the patronage pa-tronage he iccelves nnd for the welfare wel-fare of his patrons. In order to do this the publisher is entitled to and iliotild hnvo pay for, any advertising which concerns matters no' of a public nature and nt which an r.d-mho-ton foe Is charged or nuythliiK conducted by a public institution. All Is nfiertMl for sale even If the event is Just of this nature, and publishers nro not only glad, but anxious to give a tespoetnble wr'teup of nny event Vilch has occurred If thoy can get ll.e particulars and many times go out of their way to do so, when ihp Interested parties do ,iot tako ernugh Interest in tho nffuia to report It." ,M' ruing Post, Idano Falls. D D A CAMPAIGN CHALLENGE: Tho working men of the United States will read with n great deal of pleasure the recent challenge made by Representative Austin of Tonnes-see Tonnes-see to Heprcscntntivo Wnrburton of Washington, nnd will look forward to the outcome with a great deal ot expectancy: Mr. Austin Mild: "Mr. Chairman, 1 think the gentleman from Washington Washing-ton will recognb.o the fact that it Is hardly fair for an American Congress to exclude the cheap Chlueso labor by statute and yet at the same time permit the Chinese people to bring in their pig Iron on tho Pnclfic coast. There Is no consistency In It. It Is I not right, nnd it Is not just to keep I from the shores of American tho cheap Chinese labor nnd yet nt the same tlmo throw our doors wldo open to the steel and pig iron made by tho cheap coolie labor of Chlnn. Now, there Is going to be a reduction In tho nrlnn nf ilnlll'Arv nt rt Irrm tn tn Pacific coast, nnd it will come with the completion of tho Pnnama Canul, and tho pig Iron for the Pnclfic coaBt will 0,0 furnished by tho Iron mills of tho Southern Stntes by tho Improved waterways, giving them cheap water transportation down tho rivers upon which their furnaces nro loentedd Into In-to tho Gulf of Mexco and through the Pannjnn Canal. ,Ve owe It to tho American Am-erican worklngmen to keep out tho goods made either In China of Japan thnt nro made In competition with tho goods made by tho American mechanics. If thero is nnyono In this House who desires to Increase the .one In the 'future nnd increase tho sale of forelgn-mado goods mado In Germany, France, China or Japan, let that responsibility rost entirely with tho majority In this Ilouso, The Republican Party In this House Is united today as It never was united since I became a member, and It Is united because the majority In this Home have stated that they propose to put through the House leutslatlon absolutely robbed of every bit of the ftiiierldn protective-tariff system, and while there Is a limit to discussion discus-sion and a restriction In perfecting this bill, there will be no limit to the j discussion that we will have with you j befcro the American people before the Ides of November come. Vo will ho a unit against extending tho zone In Increasing tho salo of foreign-mado foreign-mado goods In America, and we will stand solid, where we have always stood, to give the American rfianUfno-turer rfianUfno-turer and the American wage earner the protection that he needs from the cheap, pauperized labor of foreign lands. We will make our goods nt homo In American workshops, giving giv-ing the highest known scale of wages to the American workman. It Is on that Issue we challenge you In this coming campaign, and It is the ardent hope of the Republican Party that you will go into the national campaign with the declarations you have made on the tariff In the discussion of this bill." D D DEMOCRACY AND BIG BUSINESS Representative Austin of Tennessee, Tennes-see, during the debate on tho Iron nud sttel schedule In Congress "talks right out In incelln' ", und comes close to Unking up tho Democratic: p:ity with tho big InterestsrWItnes. the following: "Mr. CliniJinnn, I represent on the flf or of this house a southern district, and Iwlsh to say now a word to those on tne other side of the alls: who co;uo from tho south. Vo have taken from Now England more than halt ot tho manufacture of cotton-mndo goods und wo hnvo transferred tho manufacture manufac-ture of It to tho south. Vc, nro on the eve of taking from Pennsylvania and tho north tho scat of steel and inn making. This contest In this lions? nnd on this bill Is a fight between the United States Stel Corporation and Pennsylvania steel corporations ns to how cheaply they can get iron oro in order to compete successfully with tho Iron workers of llirming-ham llirming-ham and the Iron makers ot Tenncs see. It developed In tho hearing of tho Stanly committee, I believe, thnt the Pennsylvania Railroad owns be Pen nsylvnnin Steel Corporation. At least, there was ovldence to that efect. They do own It. Tho Mnrjland Steel Corporation Is another Importer Import-er of foreign Iron ore, and tho Helli-lehem Helli-lehem Steel Corporation, locnted in tho district of the gcntlemnu from Pennsylvania (Mr. Palmer), who drafted this bill, Is another.

D D D "SLEEP, BROTHER, SLEEP." Representative Roberto of Nevada draws the lines closely on the tariff question. In a recent address In Con-gross Con-gross he spoko In part as follows: "Why do some of you gentlcmon hato to be classed as freo traders? You say you do not believe In protection. protec-tion. You say you are In favor of a tariff for revenue only. A tariff for levcnuo only Is free trade, leaving out tho revenue. In other words, without tho element of rovenuo you would open up tho ports of this country to all tho nations on eatth. That would mean just what it meant to our forefathers, fore-fathers, who from 1783 to 1789' experienced ex-perienced tho only real test of freo-trado freo-trado doctrine this country has ever known, except during the tlmo following follow-ing the passage, of tho lato lamented Wilson bill, which put tho country on the down-gi'ndo for somo time, and during which time every ranch and farm In this country wore a "sticking "stick-ing plaster." Do you forget those days, gentlemen? gentle-men? Do you try to remomber them? Tho peoplo of the country remomber them very distinctly, and when they stop to think of tho causes which led up to thoso hard times thoy will certainly cer-tainly cast tholr yotes to avert them. "Many of the members of this houso nro straight-out 'dyed-ln-tho-wool' freo traders. I did think when 1 first enmo hero that they were all on that side ot tho aisle, but I have almost al-most como to tho conclusion that I was mistaken. Howovor, this Is a'froo government and every man has not only tbo right, but ought to vote nnd voice his individual opinions. Tho lines between the two old parties Is pretty clearly defined. Any man, htiw over, who believes In a tariff for revenue rev-enue only should movo over to tho other side of tho center nlslo or Into, In-to, tho Chcrok.00; strip, yhore his identity iden-tity would not bo lost. I bollovo that all public men should declare thorn- selves on public questions, so thai tho people would know where th?y stand and whnt principles thoy uphold. up-hold. Uy tho way, wo should not overlook tho fact that thero Is n third party ably represented In this house by tho gent'emnn from Wisconsin (Mr. Merger). Mer-ger). You gentlemen on tho other side hnvo been flirting with socialism for ears. I have heard tho gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Ucrger) declare his principles aloud upon the floor of this houso. There Is no question ns to where he stands. He Is an astute politician poli-tician and Is playing "freeze out" with you gentlemen over there, and so cautious cau-tious is he that somo of you will soo his bund before the "draw." He has taken n sent on this side ot the nlslo, and It Is n safe wages- thnt when ho gets through playing nnd "cashes In" ! ho will hnvo nil you have got nnd yo.i will have experience. He will hnvo your whole party In another game or two nnd then the lines can bo more clearly drawn. Protection or freu trade which side are you standing on, brother.
