ISM.

Comparisons Of the various sys-
TENS of journalism in use in the
various capitals of the world are
rather interesting, because they are
widely different from each other.
In England political matters are the
only ones upon which great money
IS spent by the newspapers. In
France the papers do not want news
of any kind, aud prefer to give their
readers bright essays or smutty
stories. In this country if a paper
has pressure of advertising, it ap.
pears with an extra sheet. In Lon
don the overflow advertisements are
held until there is room for them.
In an interview with the editor of
an important London newspaper,
the writer was given some insight
into condition Of journalism that
will seem extraordinary to Ameri-
can newspaper people. When asked
why the London dailies paid so little
attention to American affairs, the
editor said it was because there was
no English interest in that topic.
Informed that more than three
quarters of the people In Great Brit.
ain had relatives In America, and
must of necessity find more or less
interest in American affairs, he said
the English papers had never gone

hardly change their old traditions at
tits late day. That is the whole
theory of English j 'urnalism. What
was good enough for the English
grandfatbers is good enough for the
English generation of the present
day. In make-up, in character of
news, and in general directions, the
English paper OF to- day il just what
it was fifty years ago.
The London papers pay great
deal of money for the materials
they want. The Times pays its
