Newspapers of the Future.

ASS"SfssRSAc va eetO ~s"ASs
In his address before the recent
Missouri Press Association at Jet
ferson City, Editor Stephens, OF
the Columbia Herald, among many
other good things, SAID: "The
newspaper of the future will be in
many respects a reaction from the
newspaper OF to-day. 1t will be
a paper for the busy man. Where
the present journal contains a col
umn it will contain paragraphs.
1t will PRINT the news, not the rub
bish. 1t will be comprehensive
as well as concise. 1t will be the
daily world in a nutshell. 1t will
be the aptithesis of dreariness.
The people are weary of wading
through acres of stuff to get mug
gets of news. The papers to-day
which most nearly approach this
ideal are the most widely read,
and they employ, as such papers
necessarily employ, the best
talent at whatever cost"

From the Fayette, Mo-, DEMOCRAT.
Few editors can afford to hold
official position in the town in

of Mexico, in this, as 10 other in
stances, is an exception. Last
year the LEDGER editor received 2(
majority of the Democratic vote
for Councilman. This year he is
elected by two and one half times
as many votes as his opponent re-
ceived. Bob generally gets there
