reflections after reading my Sun
day papers.)
To the Ardmoreite.
1t is little wonder that reliable
news cannot be obtained from
countries outside of America when
here at home the sensational can
ards of imaginative correspondents
published with great gusto and
made the basis of equally SEN
sational editorials.
Truth and reliability should be
made the foundation of the news
of the day. But facts are dist ort-
ed to suit the occasion or some ul-
terror design, and distrust engener-
ed in the public mind.
Reliable journalism is at a prem
ium. The public is disgusted with
the deceit and veneering that COW
er even the daily occurrences of life
at home. 1t is admitted that it is
a verv difficult matter to secure the
naked truth amid the contentious
of the times. Self enters largely
into the individualism of this era;
and self is not disposed to either
praise, elevate or favor his neigh
Dor.
AS this spirit is largely predom-
mating human character and des-
troying in a measure the candor,
generosity and charity that should
adorn and glorify ID, thus sem
sationalism creeps into journalism,
creates q morbid ard false appe-
tite and establishes a public senti-
ment that is deleterious to morals
and hurtful to all the better and
refining influences Of modern civil
ization. The public mind should
be fed with more hearty and invig-
Grating mental food.

mond. That devoted city has undergone
some temptestuous demonstrations with
the memory of men now living. 1t was
under siege for four years. And, what
ever may be said of the cause for which
it stood. the civilized world has never
ceased to admire the determined courage
and unshrinking fortitude with which it's
citizens stood the strain. Schooled in the
experience of four such years of self
sacrifice, it is perhaps not surprising that
the citizens of Richmond and the legisla-
ture of Virginia were able to sit out three
hours of Joseph Bailey with heroic stead
mess and calm composure. And when it
was all over, what grim satisfaction there
must have been in the reflection that they
had been able to take in the carloads of
information on the political issues of the
day, just as Bailey disbuTdened himself
of 1t, without turning 4 hair. There may
have been a dark-brown taste in Rich
mond the next morning, but her citizens
could point with pride to the fact that
their own heroic endurance fully matched
the unparalleled continuity of Bailey.
1t is not without feeling akin to pain
that we have observed a disposition on
the part of some members of the Virginia
legislature to kick at the cost of getting
Bailey to Richmond and repudiate the
bill The expense of the special car and
the escort of Congtessmen, ii seems. was
about $3.50. A member of the State senat te
introduced a resolution on Monday pro-
hibiting the payment thereof from the
State treasury. on the ground that the
legislature had no right to pay for bring

Moreover. it is worth more than that to
the citizens of Richmond simply as
