lTriviaiitics III Journalism.

An American newspaper reprints from
small type, of an article about Queen
Victoria's dolls. The American snob who
reprints Il is only shade worse than the
snob who first spread the fapdoodle be-
fore the British public. The American
paper licks the boots of royalty with a
smack. and publishes the statement of
the boot licking writer that 'sher mai
esty was pleased to revise the copy of
the article and correct mistakes in foot
notes, at the same time being graciously
pleased to give every facility for photo
graphing her dolls" Why can we not
have some photographs and newspaper
page about the Prince of Wales bibs?
1t would be really inspiring if some
could be resurrected. stained with the
true British raspberry jam. The thrill
that would waveidown the backbone of
our great New York newspapers at the
sight of it would be truly edifying.
They make very merry over country
journalism. with its friendly personal
tiles about our wife and orrself. but
when the country newspaper announces
with all solenmity that Hiram Willis is
keeping company pretty regularly with
Susan Curd how much worse is it really
than when the metropolitan sheet gives
half column to the story of the en-
gagement of Miss Van Strutter and Mr..
Rhinelander Knickerbocker Dude? The
country sheet really shows the better
taste of The two. for it announces in a
baldheaded. plain way in three lines
what deserves no more than three lines.
II indeed it ought to be in print at ALL
1t is the age Of the trivial in journal
ism. A delage of matter that is not
even interesting as idle gossip is pour
ing upon "a public without cessation.
When it cVines to describing a queens
dolls and d dudes stockings or an ac-
tress' bed sheets the boundary of the
merely vulgar is crossed and that of the
idiotic is entered. The true object of
journalism is threefold - information.
instruction and entertainment. All these
are helpful to the person who buys the
paper.
Ii thought comes to him that will
make life easier and happier, that will
amuse him. or that will widen his know
ledge of public affairs. he welcomes it.
1t is not true that the reading public
wants the contemplate trivialities that
are now the fashion in journalism. The
