JOKES BY THE YELLOW KID.

A schoolma' am, in sympathy for

by neighbours goat, informed her
pupils thus:
"He hurled the previous end Of
his anatomy against the boys

and velocity which, backed up by
the goats averdupois, impaired to
the youth momentum which was
not impeded or relaxed until he

There is one thing good about

1t is said that there were acres

the shade of Jefferson preferred

There can be no doubt that he
is authority on such matters, if we

falling, and striking and being

offices. The horror draws them
on and they end by casting them
selves off. There are numbers of
exactly such cases as this. Who
can tell the injury done to weak
or morbid minds by dwelling con-
tinually upon the details of such
cases as the murder of Blanche
La Mont and Minnie Williams or
the Leutgert case? Who can tell
the injury done by advertising the
especially attractive facilities Of
the poisoning by the CONNECTION
method. Since the case of Mrs.
Botkin, in San Francisco, that
peculiar style Of murder has null
tiplied rapidly.

HOWEVER much may be said of
the high mission of Journalism
and the freedom Of the Press;
there can scarcely be any doubt
that there are certain styles of
Journalism and certain phases of
Press-freedom that are working
untold injury to the public, both
in general and particular.
Something over year ago
man was convicted of murder on
circumstancial evidence, and was
executed. This happened on the
Pacific Coast and it was a CON-
mon remark there that it was not
the jury but the Press Of San
Francisco which convicted him.
There is an old aphorism that
what everybody says is SO, must
have some truth in it.
A man is arrested on suspicion
of having committed murder and
before the case comes to trial, the
press perhaps have tried, convict
ed and executed him. Public
opinion carries more weight with
a jury than most people think. It
is sometimes said that the press is
the voice of the people. This may
or it may not be SO, but in the
majority of cases the people know
absolutely nothing about the case,
and the Press cares less. They
are in the business for the al
mighty dollar of their forefathers,
and anything that sells papers
goes with them.
There is not a shadow Of doubt
but that the people have a right to
be heard, but their voice is not
always the voice of Truth and
Justice. 1t is too often the voice
of morbid sentimentality or ILL
concealed vindictiveness.
In the now notorious Leutgert
case there was something almost
unique in horror. Thousands of
people all over the country hung
breathless over the cory details.
Many weak and morbid minds
perhaps, becoming fascinated with
the gruesome crime, were unable
to expel it from the chambers of
the brain. There it staid and
throve and in many a case bore
fruit. But short time after this
case another, identical in all it's
details was committed in Chicago
Students of PSYCHE phenomena
