TALNAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.

Sensible Talk BY the Famous Preacher - 70
the Work Of the Preas.
"Every newspaper reporter in New
York is my personal friend. I have been
betrayed by nearly every class Of men in
the world, and I believe there is q spirit
OF fairness abroad in the newspapers
that is hardly to be found anywhere
else. There is no man, however poor, If
he has been done an injustice, that can
not get himself set Alright by the news
papers. We find q great deal Of fault
with the newspapers. Perhaps by our
indistinctness We are reported as saying
just what We did not say, and there is
regular riot OF commas and semicolons
and periods, and We get used to talking
about the 'blundering print press Or
sometimes We take up paper full Of 30
cial scandals and divorce cases, and We
talk about the filthy, scurrilous press,
but I could preach a whole sermon on
the everlasting blessines OF q good news
paper. A good newspaper is the grand
est temporal blessing that God has Civ
en- the people Of this century.
"In the first place all the people read
the newspapers, and the newspapers fur
nish the greater proportion Of the read
ing to the people, They don't read
books. The old people look for the
deaths, the young look for the marriages,
the business man reads the business end
financial columns, and those who are
unemployed read the want ada Great
Libraries make few intelligent men and
women, but newspapers lift tho nations
into sunlight
my idea OF q good newspaper is .
mirror Of life itself. Some people COM
plain because the evil OF the world IL re-
ported as we'll a. the good. The evil
must be reported as we'll a. the good, or
how will We know what to guard against
or what reform? There is . chance for
discrimination as to how much space
shall be given to prize fights, but the
newspaper that merely presents the
fair and the beautiful and the bright
side OF life Is Misrepresentation. That
family is the best qualified for the duties
OF life who have told to them not only
what sod there is in tho world, but
what evil there II in the world, and IL
told to select the good and reject the
evil" minneapolis Tribune.

A citizen Of Harvard, in this state.
pcopounds some queries to The Bee
which No deem proper to answer con-
cisely.
It appears that after . heated contest
IN issue had been made bs(oEe District
Judge Aorris with regard to tho night
Of tho city council Of Harvard to over
rule demonstrations against The Issuing
Of licenses to cell liquor. According to
our informant Judge Morris held - fol-
lows:
/. That the 6locumb liquor Law Of
this state u intended to be pr0hibit0ry
Law.
2. That the protest Of even one per-
son u sufficient to prevent the council
from granting . permit to seu intoxi-
cants.
2 The objections to the moral char
acter Of the applicant may extend back
to tho cradle Of the applicant, and IL his
entire life cannot stand the ordeal Of
such . test, he is not the proper person
to sell.
l. That he who has at any prior time
sold ON Q permit IL disqualified on the
ground that he has sold adulterated
liquors.
II Judge Morris has been correctly
quoted his version Of the law is extraOr-
dinary to say the least.
The Slocumb Law was designed to be
what IL expressed in its title, "An act to
regulate the license and sale OF malt,
spurious and vinous iquors." The title
Of IN act is it's index, and always express
es the intent OF the Law. No such word as
prohibition occurs in the title OF the
Slocumb bill, but tho right to refuse is
conferred by the act upon boards OF
county commissioners and town councils
whenever public sentiment, expressed in
their election, Is opposed to the traffic in
liquor. The manifest intention OF the
lawmakers and the Law was, local option
to regulate, restrain or prohibit, As the
majority OF the people in any county or
town may direct.
The protest OF one person 10 just as
good as those of q thousand persons,
provided that 'sit is satisfactorily proven
that the applicant for license has been
guilty of a violation Of any Of the provis-
ions of the Slocumb Law within the space
Of one year; or, il any former license held
by the applicant has been revoked for
any misdemeanor against the laws OF
OF this state"
The plain intent of the law regarding
moral character is that no person con-
victed of a felony or minor criminal
onense shall be granted license to sell
liquor. For such offenses the records
''from the cradle to the grave" may be
searched, and, If produced, would sus-
tain q remonstrance. But i'll repute
that rests upon hearsay would hardly be
sufficient as q bill OF attainder.
II the dictum Of Judge Morris is cor
rect With regard to adulterated liquors,
no liquor dealer in Nebraska is entitled
to license a second time. All liquors
are notoriously more or less adulterated.
The purest OF native and imported
wines and the best brands of domestic
liquors are an admixture. The only un-
sdulterated liquor that We know Of is the
pure corn juice in the distillery, and
even the distillery alcohol will contain q
mixture Of various chemical substances.
Judge Morris, who was once upon .
time a storekeeper in an Omaha distil-
lery is bound to admit that fact.-tBee.

County Fairs.

The season for fairs is fast approach
ing and no doubt many people are
getting ready for the occasion. Allud-
ing to this subject, calls to mind a con-
versation I had with a lady Of my
acquaintance. While visiting at her
home q short time she escorted me all
around her premises. including the gar
den, in which she took special pride, as
she had tended it herself most of the
time. While talking with her, she
pointed to q bed OF beets Of gigantic
size and made the remark that she had
notion to take specimen Of them to
the fair. why yes!" says I, "surely I
would if I were you" She answered me
by saying that perhaps it would not be
worth while. The days came and passed
away and 90 did the fair but those MEM
orable beets and the owner of them
failed to make their appearance on the
grounds. 1t is not an uncommon thing
to hear an individual ask question in
this wise. Did you attend the fair this
year? Oh, yes, is the reply. Well, what
did you think Of it? just passable, and
it hardly paid me for going there.
Now, I think these public exhibitions
are intended to benefit the people and
it depends largely on the people If they
make success Of these enterprises. En-
couragement goes great way in the
effort to excel in any branch of useful
ness; especially is this true among the
youthful portion of the community. A
conscientious feeling at ones heart that
they have done their very best is better
than a dozen premiums. Home is al
ways the best place to begin the work
of doing good, and as everyone cannot
attend q Paris or London exposition,
they can, with but little trouble, have an
exhibition Of their own which can be
made attractive to any beholder. The
natural resources of the country, COM
bined with the inventive genius of man.
kind, are sufficient to produce quite q
display when brought together. I see no
reason why a county fair cannot be made
both interesting and profitable, unless
every one comes to the conclusion that
it is not worth while.
