We of the agricolous press take pleas
ure constantly in priding ourselves on
what we term independent journalism.
1t may come to US as an acute disappoint-
ment, but the truth is that genuine in
dependence in newspaperdom exists
more in theory and imagination than in
fact, and that an untrammeled editor and
publisher isindeed rare bird. At q din
ner given the mem bers of the press in
New York some time ago, a Journalist
was called upon to reply to the toast,
can Independent Press" Knowing we
have no independent press among the
powerful papers of the nation, he for q
long time refused to reply, but being
insisted on to do so, said: There is no
such thing in America as an independent
press, unless it is out in the country
towns You are all slaves. You know
it and 1 know it. There is not one of you
who dares express an honest opinion. If
You express it, you know beforehand

opinions out of the papers I am connect
ed with. Others of you are paid similar
salaries for doing similar things. IF l
should allow honest opinions 10 be print
ed in one Issue of my paper, like Othello.
my occupation would be gone. The
man who would be so foolish as to write
honest opinions would be out on the
streets looking for another job. The
business of leading journalists is to dis
tort the truth, to prevent, to villify, to
fawn at the feet of nammon and to sell
his country and his race for his daily
bread, or for what is about the same,
his salary. You know this, and know
it, and what foo1ery to be toastipg an
independent press. We are the tools and
vassals of the rich men behind the screen.
We are jumping jacks. They pull the
string and we dance. Our time, our tai
ent, our possibilities, are all the property
of other men. We are intellectual pros
titutes."

IRRELEVANT AND IMMATERIAL.

Happiness, said Browning, "is the

Rather than seeking to centralize

the tendency of this day, it should be the

triotic citizen to labor unselhshly to
secure the widest and fairest diffusion of
wealth, power and opportunity among
the sons of men It were better and
