YELLOW JOURNALISM IN FRANCE

Yellow journalism generally over
shoots its mark AS it is here, so in
France. . 1t seems that the sensational
papers there posing, as here, as the
great-hearted friends of the people, the
masses the workers, the taxpayers, are
making all sorts of attacks upon the
new President Loubet, because he rose
from lowly position, is the son of a
family of workers, people of lowly ORR
gin and uncultivated manners. This
odd assault has not been needed by
the new President. He smiles grimly
over the peculiar philosophy of a press
that pretends to be republican and to
do battle for democratic forms, and
still sneers because an official is not
aristocratic, but sprang from the COM
mon people.
Accordingly the yellow journals OF
Paris have turned their guns upon tile
nearing the end of her life and is a
woman of humble origin and unpol-
ished manners but was notable as a
mother who brought her children up in
the straight path and gave them the
training that has made one of them
President of the republic. Next the
yellows of Paris turned their attention
to Madame Loubet, the President S
wife, whose crime consists in the fact
that she is a thoroughly domestic wo-
man; manages her household without
any go-betweens; is as much at home
in the kitchen as in the boudoir; is q
notable economist in household mat
tiers, and understands the fine art Of
housewifery to it's least detail.
The result of such vulgar and de-
spicable attacks has been to make the
Presidents wife very popular. Public
sympathy is all turning to her side,
and the President has the satisfaction
of seeing France swing over to him in
support, until now it is openly advo-
Gated that stringent repressive meas
ures shall be enacted against the sensa-
tional and Paul Pry press.
And if they do take such a step in
France, be sure it will be effective.
There they can make restraining laws
felt, and with vengeance. There will
be no defiance of the law in that coun-
try, if once it's batteries open upon the
unconscionable press. A late dispatch
says the attacks of the vulgar press
in Paris have been of such a
vulgar and outrageous character tnas
if they had been made in America they
would not have been tolerated here for
a moment.
That is a decided mistake. We toler-
ate anything. The rawer and meaner
and more vulgar it is, the more the
immunity it enjoys. Our yellows do
entirely as they please; and somehow
the public goes along about its bust
ness Just the same. The more the
abuse, villify and lampoon, the less
their influence Certainly, that is the
present drift. For clearly this order OF
newspapers are steadily losing power

MAKING TRANSFORMS.

Down in Southern California, where
they need rain even more than we of

to produce rain if the people would
raise 5000 to pay the cost of the nee

magazines he proposed to blow up by
way of bombarding the skies. There

sorts of a crank; only here and there
one or two commended his proposition.
and said it would be worth the cost.
Just as the idea began to die out, the
magazine of the arsenal at Toulon blew
up, and the conclusion. it Is recorded,
brought on sharp rainfall Now the
Southern Californians are revising their
opinion of Professor loves proposition.
But there is nothing new in it. Bonn
harding the skies for rain is old in idea
and trial. All Professor Lowe suggest
ed was a method of applying an old
plan to produce rainfall, and the prob
able cost. 1t is only a few years ago

THE OLD BRIDGE is UNSAFE.
City Council and Engineer Goodrich Ex-
anime the Broadway Bridge
Friday Afternoon.

The city council, accompanied by
Engineer Goodrich, made quite II
thorough examination Of the Broad
way bridge Friday afternoon. AL
though the investigation was quite
thorough, but little more Informal
ton was added to what had already
been furnished the council regarding
the condition OF the structure. Eli
gineer Goodrich, after examining the
timbers, stated that it was impos-
sible to make q substantial and safe
bridge out Of it without renewing all
the upper timbers. The floor and
stringers, which were renewed
about u year ago could. h used
again. He thought the bridge ex-
ceedingly dangerous in it's present
condition.
OF course he had not taken the
time to furnish estimates for Il new
superstructurc or for re-timberinw
the present one, but stated that at
the price OF the timber that would
bc required 1t would cost fully s., 700
to re-timberit. He gave it as his
opinion that q steel structure on the
present piers could be built at a cost
not to exceed $4,000. This is some
what lower than Loweth's eStimat t.,
hich was about So, 900 for Il new
steel superstructure.
He also differs with LoWeth in
regard to the feasibility Of building
over the railroad tracks. He is GER
tain that it could be done. and al.
though it would cost considerable
more it would be much more salts
factory in every respect. The present
structure could not be widened any
! ii only retimbercd, but ii new
, superstructure Of steel was put up
it could be some wider with the
present piers.
The bridge is already condemned,
and notices have been placed at both
ends OF the bridge warning the pub.
lie that it ia in Il dangerous condi
ton, and that parties using it did sc
at their own peril.
All members Of the cOunc but
Aid Hill, who is out of the city, were
present, and the opinion is general
among them that something should
be done at once. just what they
will do is, of course, undecided az
yet. but the majority seem to favor
re-timbering the present structure.

that the transfer Of an immense
tract to Mr.. Weyerhaeuser and asso-
GATES for $6,ON).0oO was probable.
