ssTilctM,s Our Sentiments

In Il recent number of the Journalist
published in New Y orh by Allan For
man. we find the following extract
which we take from an editorial on
Newspaper Directories i'll al which
we heartily concur:
The libel suit of Leander Richard
son, of the Dramatic News, against
Geo. T. Rowejl, for false taiement OF
the circulation OF the Dramatic News
i'll the American New sparrr Directory,
has served to call general attention 10
The absolute inutilIty of those preten
;iouS volumes anl the unfair manner
in which they are thrown together.
The bluff of offering rewards for
mistakes is Very transparent one,
and the reason that the reward is not
more frequently claimed Is not because
the directory is faulileSs-as might be
inferred-but because some publishers
do not, under ordinary circumstances.
think it worth While 10 bother with
the matter.
" AbOut once year comes the per
sistent advertising agent with his
newspaper directory, and by volumi-
nous circulars asks the size of your
page, the complexion OF Your politics.,
and statement of Your circulation.
This latter he wants sworn to. Then
he modestly ask, You to either adver-
tise IN his book or at least to subscribe
for copy. If YOU advertise YOU get IA
fairly good showing, according To the
SIZE OF Your advertisement, not accord
ing to the worth of Your paper. but
if YOU do not ADVERTISEMENT, We who
have published newspapers know the
result. In other words, nine ten tbs
of these So-caliei newspaper director
les are worthless, except 50 far rs their
statement that certain papers are pub
lIShcd in certain towns are concerned
Their estimates OF circulation are
thoroughly unreliable, and their boast
ed influence with advertisers amounts
II nothing. They are useful 10 the
cheap-jack dealers who attempt to adj
yertiSe by c3rcIllarizing the press; tho
il is very doubtful if many copies ever
find their way into the hands OF bust
ness men, most of the edition being
used up among the publishers who have
been bulidozcd into subscribing or adj

Advice to college graduates. who are
just beginning llfe, as the saying goes,
is usually thrown away. \ man who
ventures nowadays To advise these far
from respective young men and wom-
en- must have words to throw away.
Nevertheless, with the full conclous-
ness that What we are about to say
will do no good to single mortal, we
cast these few " isconsin pearls before
the annual drove:
Make it one of Your first objects IN
life to lie independent. To be indie
pendent III money matters a man does
not need to be rich. All he has to do
is 10 keep out Of debt. Unless ycu are
out Of debt you are exposed to all sorts
of petty humiliation, You are tempted
to become cringing where you should
be easy, and easy where your impulse
would lead YOU to be distant and cold.
If you are independent IN your
thoughts, if yon do your own thinking
YOU may arrive at crude conclusions.
Bat at least Your ideas viii be yours,
even though they be old. Ii You never
think for yourself you WI have II, in
dividual.ty; you VIII become beast
of burden, "a common carrier for the
thoughts Of other men
Do not try 10 be too many kinds OF Il
person, or to be interested in matters
in which you are c"nstitutionally unfit
to take any real interest. ''DieIeit is
unenlicll lang" SAYS Goethe. and SO it
really Is. Some OF us waste All OF II;
mos. of lis waste much, and all of us
waste some But the time is "unend-
Itch lang" only for people who are
willing to limit their activities rigidlv,
and TO pour all their powers into their
chosen tasks and their chosen recre-
atjonS. Unless they are willing to do
this they fad that a lifetime is what

From the American Economist.
Aside from the fact of its material
benefits, the higher wages and greater
prosperity which 1t always brings, Pro
lection deserves the support of -Ameri-
can citizens because ii is prc-eminent-
~ an American policy.
The great statesmen of our country,
irrespective of party, Jefferson as well
as " arlington anu Hamilton, Jack son
-,,n Clay inI W cDSLrI, IidSt al
believed i'll Protection, not only be-
cause it emphasized and exalted that
true .AtNeric;.n spirit of which all were
equally enthusiastic opponents.
Free Tra'c has nothing to offer us
except What is foreign.
1t WISHES lis to buy foreign goods
and import them in foreign ships. It
holds Out In us The prospect OF foreign
markets. and thinks no trade good but
foreign trade, Tie very idea is foreign
imported from Great Britain, and its
fo0th0li has been secured in this coun-
try largely through the employment OF
foreign einissarrS.
Protection thinks that so far as the
markets laborerS, industries, products
ships, and trade are concerned. in the
words OF an American poet, " There 5
no place like hcme."
1t wishes it understood that Ameri-
can products are good enough for the
American people
1t thinks that the Free Trader 5
claim that American laborerS are not
skilliul enough 10 manufacture aS well
as the hall starved l,borerS OF Europe
is a si"cr at the intelligence of AmerI-
can manhood.
And above al other things it cmplia-
sizes the fact that there Is an Amerl-
can standard OF wages ANA of living,
and that our national life and the high
grade of oar country's citizenship de
pend on that standards pcrpctuation.
The impartial man therefore. Who
weighs both sides OF the question can
not but conclude that protection IS the
more patriotic policy, and az such, Is
more worthy of Il patriot 5 support
For with the great HiaSS OF mankind
patriotism still continues TO bt regard
ed as 4 noble feeling, despite the con
tempt OF the philosopher OF the
