Honest Journalism-The Leaders Senti-
ments.

honest COufnallSm-Ine Le2uerS Sentl.
Those of us who respect our calling
and seek to sustain it's dignity and in
tegrity, who are journalists, and not
penny-a liners, who refuse to be de-
graded to the ranks of the "hanks" and
whose conscience is their highest earth
ly tribunal, feel that it is simply i'm
possible for them to prostitute their
columns to the dictates of expediency.
They may quit the newspaper business,
but they will not degrade their high
office for profit; they aciU print nothing
that they do dot believe to be true.
A newspaper can always afford to be
honest. 1t cannot afford to be any
thing else. 1t may truckle, for while
to some passing passion. subscribe te
fad and yield up its soul to popular
prejudice, but, in the process, the char
acter is warped and withered and it,
influence goes with its character. Tht
people will applaud it for little while
but they will not respect it.-Meridiar

A sample Democratic Leader.

Mr.. Catchings, in 1892, talking TO a
crowd of gentlemen in Rolling Fork,
spoke of Mr.. Cleveland as ncgro-lov-
ing -, and applied to him such ep-
ithets as we are not willing should be
repeated in our columns. But going
back to Congress he, early in 1893, be-
came one of his strongest allies.-Deer

The Populists will derive consider,

last letter. The Senator virtually says
that if the Democratic party fails to
endorse free and unlimited silver,then
the Populist party, or silver party

A lady subscriber writes the Clarion
Ledger to know how to keep the worms
off her cabbage plants. She is advised
to dissolve lump of alum the size of

in a gallon of water and sprinkle the

harmless to the plants but worms will
not come about it.

tend itself. 1t is in politics all the
time. Its policy is to use its combin-
ed strength to elect its friends and de-
stroy it's enemies. The result is, a
small compact minority, working in a
cause execrated by mankind, controls
everything from Congress down. 1t is
organization against mere sentiment,
and mere sentiment, like disembodied
spirits, has very little force in this
practical world.
Prohibition ought to win in Georgia,
Mississippi and several other South
ern States at the next election. 1t
ought to have won before. Why has it
not won? Simply because Prohibition
lists have refused to combine and stay
combined to make it win. Thousands
of Prohibitionists, after a sharp cam
paign in which all combined to win
q victory, have speedily gone back to
their old ways and left the field to
the organized whisky army. If Prohi-
bitionists could be induced to let the
garlic of Egypt alone for those who
are still in bondage, and combine
their forces they could carry nearly
every Southern State and push right
into the overthrow of the enemy in
his national strongholds.
The supreme thing is to combine our
strength to make it effective at the
right points. To do this, have never
had doubt that every one Of US
ought to make Prohibition the su-
preme thing in politics, just as the
whisky men make tho saloon the SUI
preme thing. I am opposed to side is
sues. have always believed it a mis-
take to put female suffrage with Pro-

terry in next years national convention.
That is much to hope for in view of the
fact that. when II comes to the selec-
ton of a candidate for the presidency
in a democratic convention. the sue
cessful man must receive not a major
ity alone, but two-thirds of all the
votes cast When 1t comes to the franz
ing of platform, however, majority
of the members of the convention may
put free coinage through.
In that event. Mr.. Cleveland would
be out of the question. since he could
not stand on platform of that
kind. President Cleveland is like
Mckinley. Harrison, Reed, Hill
and the rest of them. They
are enemies of silver, every last man
of them. With this difference. how
ever. that Cleveland has the courage
to say so. while the others we have
named play double with the public.
1t may be that the human race has

SUNDAY, MAY 2e. 1895.
II VIII Be Seven Columns.

The Greater Standard" will be seven
columns TO the page daily from now
out, the added column being one OK
the features of this mornings sixteen
page edition. The steady growth In
it's advertising patronage and its In
creased news service make the en-
larged Standard necessary; Its pub
fishers are glad TO find themselves
obliged to make the change.
Spite of the agencies which. as the
result of wrong legislation. have served
TO retard the state, the year 1895 finds
Montana moving cheerfully along In
the right direction. The crash that
threatened TO overtake the state as the
result of action taken in congress near
Iy two years ago. never came. Com
paratively few communities in the state
are much the worse to-day for what
happened. When silver is restored, as
IL Enthusiastically must be. Montana
will make a magnificent march; mean
while. the state can be said to have
held its own, and even a little better
than that.
This newspaper proposes TO move
right along with the procession and en-
courage everybody in the state to push
bravely onward. A summary repre-
senting many sections Of the state,
which appear on another page this
morning, brings tiding which, almost
without exception. show a better feel
ing than prevailed in this region a year
ago. 1t might be better; but IT threat
ened to be a good deal worse. and
cause for encouragement is found in
the fact that the true doctrine respect
ing the currency of this country is win
ming over thousands of converts east
of the Mississippi. When silver is re-
stored, Montana will feel the relief
which the whole country is sure TO ex-
perience. plus the advantage for this
state in the revival OF an industry that
has had a fight for It's life.
AS one OF several progressive news
papers in Montana, the Standard pro-
poses TO be right at the head all the
time. In its larger form 1t will be bet
ter than ever and 1t will maintain the
reputation long ago accorded 1t by
public opinion as the best newspaper
In this part of the world.

nee In New York City kept at work a
machine that could set the type fairly
well. but the work of distributing the
type, that is to say returning IL to its
receptacle after its use. was not salts
factory. The first evolution was a
clumsy. cumbersome affair and I'M
pleasantly noisy in it's operation.
The Mergenthaler type-setting ma
chine is the first pronounced success
in its line. 1t does wonders. Seeing a
model of 1T. the average observer would
predict that 1t could not be made prac-
ticable, but IL is an inanimate printer
almost perfect in its operation. 1t oc-
cupies very little space, IT is complex.
Its interior parts include what might
pass as a toy foundry and machine
shop hardly larger than a mans hat.
The operator presses keys OF the sort
with which the ordinary type-writing

warm from the casting box. takes its
proper place with its associate lines
and is ready for the foreman.
The Mergenthaler machines are In
operation in scores of newspaper off,
ces; the manufacturers are compelled
to keep new patrons waiting for
months. Rival machines are already
on the market, but none of them. we
believe. have yet been recognized as
having merit superior to the Mergen-
thaler. although. of course. improved
processes may be confidently ex-
pected.
Four of these machines are working
in the Standards composing room,
turning out work that formerly re-
quired the services of a score OF men.
Meanwhile. the marked increase in the
number of publications. even during
the hard times of last year. opens a
constantly wider field as machine oper-
| ators to the better grade of men who
are in the printers craft.
