The political weekly deserves to be considered as an advertising medium for the following reasons: First Such a paper is taken majn ly by those who believe in the politi cal doctrines which It advocates, and advertisements appearing'in the paper commend themselves to the readers. A man's political convictions are, as a rille, deep and lasting, and in every great crisis there are .. innumerable instances where the individual's views on public questions are stronger than family ties. Those who hold tenac iously to their political opinions nat urally prize papers upon which they can rely for the information which they need in the discussion of politi cal questions, and those who adver tise In such papers profit by the con fidence wliich the reader has in the publisher. Second Political weeklies are not read and thrown away like daily pa pers, but are laid aside for reference. The advertising matter Is, therefore, of lasting value, and it is not uncom mon for an advertiser to hear from such, .an advertisement many weeks after it has ceased to appear in the paper. Third The political weekly Is grow ing, and bids fair- to occupy an in creasing place in the field of journal ism. .The dally Is becomlng.a great business enterprise whose editorial page is either .practically without po litical color or defends the Interests of the corporations with which the owner is connected. The stockhold ers of the gt;ea,t dallies, are generally unknown to" the .'public; neither are the writers known whose pencils sup ply copy for the editorial page. It is impossible that an intelligent and thoughtful student of public affairs should pay a great deal of attention to editorials written by nobody-knows-who and often with an ulterior purpose. With the growth of the daily it be comes less and less possible for the same person to be both editor and owner, and if he is employed to do the writing, he must write as the owner desires or forfeit his place. If Is like ly, therefore, that there will be an in creasing tendency to read the daily for its news and the weekly for the thoughtful discussion of the problems of government. A weekly paper can be published without great expense and can be. edited by the owner. Its circulation will depend partly upon the popularity of the ideas presented and partly upon the ability with f which the paper is edited. Fourth The political weekly has a wider field than the daily can possibly have because a daily published in one city can not hope to invade the pre cincts of another city, but a weekly published anywhere in the United Statea can find its way into every village and hamlet of the country. Its contents are not valuable because of their freshness as news, but because of their permanent usefulness in the consideration of questions of moment. Fifth The political weekly is Inex pensive as compared with the daily and reaches those who would not feel able to pay the price of a dally. It may be confidently expected, therefore, that political weeklies will increase in number, in circulation and in influ ence, and the value of an inchof ad vertising in such a paper will approxi mate the value of like space In a monthly magazine of like circulation.

Medc, al Mngn The Great Financiers "I've heard a great deal about.'Na poleons of Finance' In" the last few years," observed the Village Oracle, "but I want to say right here that the newspapers are not say ing a word about the real financiers." Of course we had to aBk him to go on and tell us all about it. "Well, these fellows who make mil lions selling wind and water are all right, but after they have accumulated the first million or two the rest is easy. But I know right here in Bing villo of financiers who can give them all the trumps and then beat them. "For instance, there is Mrs. Work man. Her husband gets-$9 a week, and he turns it all over to her except 50 cents, which he reserves for his lobrartcco' rs. Work-man takes that ?8.50 and wl(h it pays tne rent, buys the fuel, keens a table annnitnri mi enough food .to satisfy, and nourish clothing, mediclne,,sc3.ooi books, kero sene, and sunh thlnim Tmono ; w niture repaired, and all that sort of thing, and. in six venrs iinHn'f o-nnn in debt a dollar, although they have had a lot of sickness in the family. Now that s what I call financiering, and if you think you know of any Wall street .Napoleons who can equal it you just turn them loose In a little city and make them scratch along on $9 a week for their whole families. I want to tell you, sir, that the average wife of the average American workingman is the best financier the country,, and when I say it I'm Pierno1111 ftt LGSlie M- aw, J.

THE PRAISE OF THE PEANUT In the United State3, a nut contem porary tells us, are 350,000 acres of peanut land and 170,000 peanutters. Three hundred million pounds of pea nuts, worth $11,000,000, are produced here every year; and yet people talk of "peanut" politicians contemptuous ly. There are whole epic poems in the peanut. It is accomplished, the Ad mirable Crichton of nuts. Every iiart of it is useful. It beats peas and corn as a fattener of stock and poultry It enriches the soil as well as the farm er.
