the Examiner" true to its instincts,
reprints them, and the paper is sent on
its way to meet the incoming trains Of
excursionists, as sample of what in
metropolitan journalism is considered
news, and racy "dishing up"
No one has asked the San Francisco
press to refrain from publishing the
news, and all that is news. 1t is the
method employed that is Objectionable.
1t is a simple and reasonable request
that at least during the stay of the
Christian Endeavorers the raw side of
humanity shall not be exaggerated and
unnecessarily raked over, nor the
crimes and scandals of a community
paraded with a prominence and pfc
torial elaborateness conveying the i'm
preston that the cases thus treated
are typical of social life and public
morals in California. But hope may

decency will not be conceded by the
nude press. It will continue to ex-
pose its person. and entreaty and pro-
test alike wifi be of no avail

THE ANSWER.

Since the Record Union" and the
Los Angeles press have with due polite
ness and respect requested the San
Francisco newspapers to refrain during
the Christian Endeavor convention
from their usual blood and thunder
sensational, scandal, and revoltingly
detailed system Of putting up nsvs,
there have been just two replies.
One metropolitan journal declares
that the means to the end desired is
the non-commission of crime, and the
Encouragement in scandals by the
people, since the press must publish
the news. But it was left TO the "Ex-
aminer'' to reply by a page full of scan
dalous letters supposed to have passed
between a prominent citizen of San
Francisco, now deceased, and his mis-
tress, whom he salaried for sixteen
years, and who now pursues his estate
for hush money. These letters We're

THE HEADLINE ARTIST.
He is Largely the Mo1der of Pub
lie Opinion.

There is a secret power connected
with journalism. 1t is a different pow
er from that which existed in the days
when, as Howells says of the Ohio
farmers as they took their Weekly
Tribune" out of the office, We'll see
what Horace has to say this week.
We Of to-day do not connect this or
that opinion with any particular per-
son, at least as rule. 1t is the pa
per which speaks to us, not the lndi-
vidual; but for that very reason, what
it says often makes a deeper Impress
ion. II is an impersonal influence, this
power of modern journalism, which we
cannot follow or trace to this or that
reader, but which we see in its results.
From the headline artist" who
largely dictates to the reader of the
newspaper (Without that reader being
conscious of iD what inference should
be drawn from the article, to the writ

all the workers on the force contribute
to this influence. 1t may be a mere
sentence or phrase, or form of express

EASTERN MISAPPREHENSION.

Among very large class of our peo-
pie there still exists misapprehension
concerning the geographical extent OF
this portion of their common country
In some degree this is the result of
ignorance of the facts, while in largest
measure it is the result Of forgetful-
ness-failure to recall the instruction
received in the common schools.
Concerning the approaching visit to
California of the Christian Endeavor
delegates, we have noticed recently IN
the Eastern press blunders about the
State that are wholly inexcusable from
such sources. There seems to be in
ability, not to use a harsher term, to
understand that the California coast
line covers nearly ten degrees of lal-
tude; that this is a State Of vast dis
tances.
This misapprehension has been re-
Gently humorously illustrated in cor
respondence between delegates now en-
route and their friends in California.
to a friend that she will pass through
Sacramento on a given excursion train,
bound for Oakland. Presumably she
thinks the city of oaks SO far distant
that she win not be able to visit her
relatives in Sacramento. and therefore
suggests that as the train swishes
through Sacramento, if her friend will
take a position near the track, she Will
signal to her with her handkerchief
from the car window. These friends
have.not met for thirty years.
A man, also of average intelligence,
and more, writes to his brother law
in this city that he is coming with the
eUcursionists, and regrets to learn that
he will not be able to see his sister in
her Sacramento home, as she is at
Santa Monica for the summer. But, he
adds: 'T will run over from San Fran
cisco some morning during the conven-
ton, see Mary, and get back in time
for the afternoon session. He is an
officer of the convention. Apparently he
has no idea, or is forgetful of the fact
that "his run over and back for lunch
means a trip of between eight and nine
hundred miles, involving two days
travel.
Stilltanother case is related by an in
terror exchange of a prominent clergy
man among the delegates. who writes
that he is very desirous of visiting the
Mount Shasta region, and expresses the
hope that he VIII be able to take a
run up there from San Francisco and
back the same day, and have plenty
of time to spare.
Our friends to arrive do not, in very
many cases, appear to comprehend that
while the coast line of the State is
much longer, still a direct line gives
us a stretch equal to nearly the whole
of the Middle Atlantic Coast-that the
north line of latitude of California
strikes through Massachusetts, in the
vicinity of Springfield, while the south
