The Newspaper Of the Future.

The recent address OF Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
before the New York Press Association is, In its
general features. Of interest not to journalists
alone, but to all whom the. daily newspapers
visit. The views Of the successful managing
editor OF great New York daily upon the future
OF journalism would be worthy of thoughtful
consideration, even Ii the speaker had not, like
Mr.. Reid, won peculiar distinction in his profess
sion, or II the journal which he controlled were
not, like the Tribune, in many respects, the
leading paper of the country. Mr.. Reid argues
strongly against the belief that the ability and
power ct the press are declining. He holds that
there is more good young blood tending towards
journalism than towards any other profession.
There is more movement In 1t than In the So
called learned professions, more growth,
larger opportunity, greater future. Three
pressing necessities Of the time are suggested
In respect to which newspapers, independent OF
political Affiliations or tendencies, may unite to
accomplish results Of value. These are, first, a
constant systematic supervision Of local gov
eminent in all things affecting taxes and the
Increase Of local debt; second, the examination
of the subject Of charities; third, the waging of
awar against abuses affecting the public morals.
A passage of special interest In the address is
that in which the speakers Idea of the futu e
newspaper is summed up.
we S0all nave more news. Inc world
Is ransacked for it now. Earth, sea and air
carry Ii TO US from every capital, from every
people, from every continent and from every
island. We shall not have bigger newspapers;
they are bigger now than busy people can
read. We shall have better newspapers; the
story better told; better brains employed In the
telling; briefer papers; papers dealing with the
more important OF current matters In such style
and with such fascination that they win com
mand the widest interest. There will be more
care and ability In selecting, out Of the myriad
OF things you might tell, the things that the
better people want to be told or ought to be
told. There win be greater skill In putting
these things before them In the most convent
ent and attractive shape. Judgment In select.
Ing the news; genius for telling it-that Is the
goal for the highest journalistic effort OF the
future. In making newspaper, the heaviest
item OF expense used to be the white paper
Now 1t is the news. By and by, let us hope, IT
Will be the brains"
The movement In journalism Is steadily TO-
wards the ideal which Mr.. Reid suggests. Men
no longer, II they ever did, become edito 8 be-
cause they are flt for nothing else. Even general
intelligence is no longer sufficient recommen-
dat1on. Natural capacity, special training and
the skin which comes from prolonged expert
ence are necessary to the attainment OF any
prominence In the profession. As the requisites
OF success In journalism became more numerous
and more difficult Of requirement the news
papers themselves improve in respect to all
those qualities, which are to characterize the
ideal paper of the future.
