Ireland has been in the ust for centuries She

THE Constitution of the United States was
drafted in secret session of many months du-
ration, and it could not have been drafted under
any other circumstances. There are many mat
tiers for consideration which cannot from their
very nature be discussed fairly If the world
hears everything said. 1t is not likely that the
executive sessions will be abandoned. -Cincin-

To raise the whole people to level at which
they shall be as secure from ignorant decisions
as the educated classes already are, is tremend-
Gus undertaking But it is imposed upon every
nation, as matter of self-preseryation, by the
advance of Democracy. When it is attained, the
demagogue will become extinct for lack OF
nourishment, and in no other way can he be ex-
tirpated. New York Times.

A SYSTEMATIC misuse of facts by the Associ-
ated Press or mstreatment of questions in which
the public is interested. is simply impossible, be-
cause the Associated Press is owned by, and rep
resents papers of opposing politics, and repre-
sents various and conflicting opinions and inter
ests. By afiliation the Associated Press is a
part of every community in the United States,
and part of the public sentiment of the coun-

should be made permanent. We call upon our
brethren of the press everywhere to help defeat
the postal telegraph schemes.-New York Sum-
