A MARKED CONTRAST.

Although the Farmers Camp of In
struction, which, under the patronage of
the State Grange, is to be opened at Camp
Roache, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to-
day, is as yet an INFESTED experiment, it
has already attracted considerable atten-
ton in the East and in several States
there is more or less public discussion con-
corning the ACCESSIBILITY of following the
California example.
It is curious to note that in some parts
of the East and the South fears are ex-
pressed that if such assemblies were at
tempted in those sections they would de-
generate into species of political camp
meetings. The Galveston News, for ex-
ample, after reviewing what THE CALL has
said about the prospects for good at Camp
Roache, says: SCHOOLS of this kind are
badly needed in Texas and in other States
but if meeting were called to discuss the
economics of the farm it is quite probable,
judging the future by the past. that the
whole shooting match would be captured
by wild-eyed political apostles, each in
tent to convince and scorning to learn,
and SO turned over to improbable and I'M
timely campaign wailing and trancing."
That no such ''wailing and trancing''
has for moment ever been thought of in
connection with Camp Roache is another
evidence of the superior conditions of rural
life in California when compared with that
in other States. In this golden land the
politician does not boss the farmer. He is
never permitted to jump farmers meet
ing and run it to suit ais notion. Camp
Roache will be genuine school of instruc-
ton in agriculture and economics. Those
who give the instruction will be acknowl-
edged authorities on the subjects they deal
with-men holding high rank as educators
and scientists-fully capable of making
their lectures in high degree profitable to
every earnest listener and student in the
camp.
The contrast in this regard between Cali
fornia and some if not most of her sister
States may well be noted among her adj
vantages. 1t can result only from one of
two things. Either our farmers are more
intelligent than those of the East, and
therefore more capable of distinguishing
between a philosophical discussion of
economic topics and political harangue,
or else they are more prosperous, and
therefore better able to study conditions

THE NEWSPAPER IN THE FAMILY

Few men or women would Willingly allow
acquaintance of impure mind to invade the
sanctity of their homes, to seat themselves by
the fireside and converse with them and their
children on subjects uniting in character and
degrading in tendency, says the New York
Mail and Express, and yet how many of these
people who are most careful in their friend
ships allow publications to enter their homes,
the influence of which is vastly more insidious
and demoralizing than is that of any in
dividual.
The ordinary Objectionable publication can
be guarded against, but with the average daily
sensational newspaper the good and the bad
are so interviewer, SO inextricably mixed, that
it seems almost impossible to find in these
days paper which can without fear be intro
duceo into households where young girls and
boys are component part of the family life.
The rapidly developing tendency to treat of
all matters, no matter what their nature, on a
news basis has had, and is having, serious
effect, not perhaps yet so much on actual
morality as on the public sentiment toward It.
1t takes very little familiarity to accustom the
average man or woman, yonng or old, to a
contemplation of vice, and familiarity with it
quickly results in passiveness in viewing it
which destroys that feeling of disgust and an
tagonism toward it which is the safeguard of
society.
When scofing and sneering influence is
brought into the lives of the young the effect is
especially disastrous, for it appeals to an I'M
formed and eager imagination, willing to see
in such authority worldly wisdom and
knowledge.
Vulgar jokes, personal abuse of political
rivals, unpatriotic views of patriotic events,
the distortion and criticism of the motives and
endeavors of honest men, all combine to make
the reader q more undesirable neighbor and
citizen and to lower the standard of public
morality.
There is only one method of remedying this
evil OF plain speech on unsavory subjects and
disingenuous criticism on current events; it is
for the public to discountenance it by ceasing
to read or bring into the family the papers
which give it circulation. This can be done,
and should be done. There are decent papers (;
papers into the columns of which sensational
news and scandalous matters are never adj
mitted. These should be supported.
Generally speaking newspaper is what the
mass OF its readers want it to be. The law of
supply and demand is almost universal, and
yet the right exerts strong influence. 1t has
a potential power of its own. Editors, as a
rule, desire to cater to what is good rather than
to what is evil.
The trouble is that it is the wrong kind of
influence which is apt to be most in evidence,
and it is this which has had much to do in de-
veloping the sensational features of modern
journalism. This has been so, but reaction is
inevitable, and signs of it are already appar-
ent Men who are interested in this end of the
century's social development can do no greater
good than by bringing direct pressure to bear
on the editorial sanctums of the great news
