fense in the Baker trial rested their

somewhat of surprise. Miss Annie

Messrs. Graft and SchweitZer,
employees in the bank at Milwaukee,
through which the money stolen was
sent to Hurley via Ashland, were re-
called by the defense. They gave sew
eral eases where their bank had sent
large amounts of currency to Ashland
in the same manner as that sent on
Sept 10, and which was stolen from the
Hurley bank. They were both shown
the money found on Bakers person
the day he was arrested. and neither of
them could Identify it as having passed
through their bank. They also stated
they did not know the denomination of
the currency which had been shipped
from their bank to Hurley and COM
prised the consignment that had been
stolen.
Here the defense rested its case and
the work Of presenting testimony in re-
buttal was taken up by the state. A
number of persons from Oshkosh were

at this season or the year, thousands
Of young men on the farms and in the
little villages look longingly in the drec-
ton of the large cities, and get ready
to try their luck in a new field of action.
1t is Il story as old as civilization.
Ever since the first city raised its spires
and tuTrets and domes its stately masses
of brick and granite and marble SkyWard,
the dWellers in the region beyond have
felt the same mysterious attraction that
is felt today by young countrymen every
where
We shall not attempt to analytic it; the
fact that this migratory impulse exists is
enough Time and again, we have dis
cussed it, and given good advice, which,
OF course, was not followed. The news
papers every year tell the toilerS on the
farms that they will run q great risk, and,
perhaps, make a great mistake, il they
move to town. Warning articles and
statistics are printed to show that cOmpetl-
ton is growing fiercer in the cities, and
the chances of succeeding in life are not
half as good as they are out in tho
country; but what good do these admoni-

he reads such fatherly editorials, and

him have it. Our sympathies are with

should, by way of compensation, exhibit
the bright side.
Undoubtedly, there is q bright side
Nearly all Of our successful men in cities
were country born and bred Early in life
they came from the farms, bringing with
them clear heads, iron constitutions and
good habits, and their industry, pluck and
ability carried them to the top round of
the ladder.
A few years ago, the late Judge David
Davis said that the politics OF the nation
had been shaped by men who were
country bred. The two Adamses were
citizens of a little village a dozen miles
from Boston. jefferson lived on q country
estate far from the cities. Madison and
Monroe were country gentlemen. and 81,
was Washington. Jackson and Polk lived
IN the suburbs of Nashville, Taylor was a
planter III Louisiana, Lincoln was the
product OF a prairie town, and a host Of
the political leaders Of today We're origi
nally countrymen
Turning aside from politics to profess
sional, financial and business circles, we
venture the declaration that, in nine cases
out Of tcn the leading lawyers, capitalists
and merchants of our cities came either
from the country or from small towns. 1t
is so in New York, and it is so in Atlanta.
1t would be difficult to give minute
explanation Of all the causes and condi-
tons connected with this subject. AS
rule, the young countryman starts out
with a sound mind and body Inherited

from moral and healthy ancestors. His
individuality has not been crushed out by
routine methods. Having read only few
books, he does more thinking than the
city boy whose time is occupied with
textbooks and alnusements. His Life in
the fields and woods has given him the
habit of close observation, and bis Work
has made him attentive to matters OF
detail When he goes to the city, people
think, at first, that he is muddled and
stupid. They are mistaken-the boy is
simply observing the new features of his
new life, and, after a while, he compre-
bcnds and grasps the whole situation,
with a better understanding Of the rela-
tons of things than men have when they
have grown Up among Drick walls, loo
b1sv to think for Themselves
1t is natural that such young men as
we have described should succeed in tho
city, but we feel tempted to say that all
of them cannot succeed, because there is
no room for so many. In this age we
hear a great deal about overproduction.
This applies to men, just as much as it
applies to cotton and merchandise. In
Atlanta, for instance there are 145 law
yers, presumably living by their profess
sion. Now, it is safe to say that the
doubling of this number next year, taking
it for granted that the newcomers were
competent men, would greatly injure the
business of our lawyers, and reduce their
incomes. And the same result would fol-
low in any other occupation, II too
may men sought employment.
But, enough of this for the present.
We deplore the wholesale drift from the
country to the cities, but we recognizes
the fact that, in the future, as in the
nast, the great intellectual and spiritual
forces that shape our civilization will
come from the mountains and plains,
where the visible and invisible influences
of God ana nature all combine to make
noble manhood.

The last editorial written by the late
George William Curtis was under the
above caption, and it was plea Tor the
full and fair exercise Of the chief func-
ton of a great newspaper.
Mr.. Curtis protested against the custom
of giving only a One-sided view OF q
campaign. He believed in presenting the
public with q truthful picture of the con-
test on both sides, and as an Illustration OF
a model newspaper in this respect ne
cited The London Times which accurate
" reports the chief speeches on both sides
with truthful accounts of the size and
spirit of the meetings.
He said, in commenting on the policy or
The New York World to print the news
without suppression or prejudice:
The Times is not friendly to Mr.. Gladstone,
hut it will open its columns to all that he
says. and neither bciittle nor satirize his meet
iagS. The feeling of the crowds and their re
-cption of the orators will he photographed, 50
that the reader will know that he understands
the situation.
This is the function of n great newspaper.
This is TO be 4 mirror OF the times. Nhatb
ever the editorial sympathes of paper may
be- if il permits them to dIstort and misrepre-
heat Of Il political campaign how many news
papers are guiltless Of that abuse?
It is to be hoped that these farewell
words of one OF the fairest and ablest Of
American journalists will leave Il lasting
impression. The Constitution several
weeks ago had an editorial on the same
line. and its readers will bear it out in
the claim that we are faithfully trying to
make it "a mirror of the tines" Espec-
tally is this true of the present campaign.
No meeting of interest occurs anywhere
in our territory that is not fairly and ac-
curately reported, whether it is joint
,!efaie = .ax 'o-r ho'E-ten Black
and Watson or a similar occasion in Ala
bama or South Carolina. The Constitution
has members of its staff on the spot and
We give both sides, or, In other words,
print the news and comment on it yigor-
ously III our editorial columns.
The policy of suppressing campaign
news is out of date. The intelligent yot-
ers of this generation want TO know what
their opponents are saying and doing,
and they expect a genuine newspaper to
furnish the news
Such enterprise on the part of daily
newspaper. with lis special correspond
ents, and its liberal use OF the wires, is
expensive, but after all it pays. And, in
fact, it is the only way to run a great
newspaper!
