THE BLIND BRIDLE

The blind bridle is now receiving a,- tentlon all over the country. Its use is suddenly discovered to be cruel and al- most inhuman. Such simple and home like questions should receive attention rather than the exaggerated principles of state.

THE JOURNALIST.

Nothing is truer than the following from Cian6eyS /ou,Hal. There is no pro- feSslon m which man stands more su- premely on his merits than in that of four nalism. In many others promotion is more question ofintluenee. of good for tune. or of time. than of actual working capacity. In journalism. influence goes for little Or nothing. unless there be on the par, of the aspirant real efficiency to perform the work ,ha, has to be done There never was greater competition is the press than there Is al the present day and that competition is more likely to become keener than to diminish. Ii is becoming more and more A question of the survival of the f,tes,, and special eminence IS ever more difficult to attain. The incompetent and inexperienced. therefore. must inevitably go to the wall.
 In the newspaper business. distinction IS won not by favor but by hard work and a natural adaptation. In any life which IS strictly professional. a man may be ad- vanoed through favori,ism and by con- sulting associates be able to hold his po- siiion. but in journalism no consultation will aid him. l. is the experience of yes terday that helps him to-day. If he be employed in the news department. he must know which article to condense and which 10 extend. some subjects which - raw though well educated man would dilaie upon can be disposed of in ten lines. while an occurrence which the stu dent would regard as trivial. a kind or ilve-ane occasion. would demand two col ninn> of spread" Ever experienced newspaper man Snows ,ha, there are some subiect- ot which you canno, say loo lii,le. while .here are others of which ;oo much zanno, be sad
