RIGHTS OF THE EDITOR.

The newspaper has been established
long and many Of its limitations and
Prescriptions are so set that the way
faring man, though Il fool sees and
understands them, says the Ncwspa-
per Maker.
Yet in many essentials there Is gross
and utter darkness in the general
public mind us to the relations be-
tween the public and the newspaper.
it is for people to understand that
the newspaper is Il business enter
prise like shopkeeping or the manu-
facturc Of tobacco. A man engages
in it for the money making, or for
reputation.
The right of the subscriber begins
and ends with his subscription. He
need no more subscribe for a paper If
lie has no use for it than he has to buy
Il cigar il lie be no smoker. The pa
per has no claim upon his support, and
II he believes he is not getting the
worth Of his money he owes it to him.
self TO stop IL.
So of the advertiser. lie is a fool
if he pays out good money for what
will bring hun nc returns, He is free
to insert an advertisement. or decline
to do so, according as he thinks it is
profitable to him or otherwise. BE-
cause he advertiscs that is no reason
why he should feel the paper owes
him something else than the space
for which he pays.
Yet subscribers and advertisers are
too prone to think that they have Pc
culiar claims on the editor. They are
bold to ask for the gratuitOus inser-
ton Of notices concerning themselves
or their friends, and for the suppress
ion Of news which may initiate
against them or their business. In
this instance they are bold, aggres-
siye, %exorbitant and often times i'm
pertinent. These men would scarcely
attempt to interfere IN such n
with their butcher. grocer or tailor.
In their dealing with all business
houses, except the newspaper, they
recognize the right of the dealer to
conduct his affairs in his own way.
Why not the editor? He is a purvey-
or Of news. Such Is his business. 1t
lies with him to select, Gull and arran-
ge what comes his way. If he does
this to the distastes Of individuals
they are free to reject it. No law can
compel them to buy or advertise in a
paper not OF their taste.
Equally it is none Of their business
as to the directions OF il.
The responsibility begins and ends
with the editor.

MAKING PAPER.

jackson News.
In a recent issue the New Orleans
Daily Item describes IA plant recently
established in that city for pressing
waste paper and shipping it to North.
ern paper mills, there to be %reconvert-
ed into clean paper, and possibly
shipped back to New Orleans, when a
percentage of it will likely meet the
same fate, viz: become waste, be
pressed into a bale aud shipped back
North. BE that as it may, however,
the fact remains that there are no
paper mills in the South, except at
Chattanooga, and yet it would seem
that this industry should thrive here
as well as elsewhere and thus preclude
the necessity for such long llauls as
are now ncccs sary.
Paper making is an industry to
which little or no attention has been
paid in the South. The extreme
Northeastern States have a monOpO-
!y on the business and quite recently
nearly every mill in the country has
been Incorporated under II trust for
the purpose OF curtailing production
and controlling prices. The large
consumers have become alarmed and
are uow petitiOning Congress to re-
move the tariff duties so that foreign
manufacturers may compete and thus
keep down the trust prices.
The time and occasion are exceed
ingly opportune for the establishment
Of paper mills in the South. They
would certainly be able to dispose of
their entire product at renumerative
prices-sc0res OF them could not glut
the market provided they manufac.
tured a flrst-class article OF paper and
made half an effort to sell il to South
ern consumers.
While New Orleans is establishing
a plant for baling waste paper to be
shipped back to Vermont or Massa-
chusetts, more than a thousand miles,
why not put in machinery for reduc-
ing the waste pulp and making paper.
The New Orleans papers would use
enough to keep a good sized mill run
ming year in and year out.

MASS MEETING TOMORROW.
Aims of Prisoners Aid Society to BE
Outlined.

The Prisoners Aid Society, which is to
hold a mass meeting tomorrow evening at
S o'clock at the First Congregational
Church, is new institution, and occupies
a field not fully covered by any other At
tention is called to the fact that the society
is most thoroughly in favor of the punish
ment of crime, and that it only seeks to
shield the innocent; that first steps in crime
are to be carefully watched, and the youth
who takes them is to be warned back be-
fore becoming a criminal; that persons
who have served sentence must have
sympathy and help; else they are apt to
plunge in again. 1t is also cited that the
courts must often decide before all the
facts are produced, If there is one
charged to look them up, and that while on
one side prosecuting attorney is a neces-
sity to defend the public, it is quite as
necessary to have agent, at least, to
defend the one charged with crime, and to
that the innocent are not made to suf-
fer AT the meeting tomorrow evening the
report of the doings of this society for the
past six months will be read. 1t will make
mention of hundreds of cases investigated,
and of scores of persons sent to their
homes, instead of remaining here to suffer
in idleness in Jail, smarting with injustice.
1t often occurs that persons are victims of
circumstances, or are sometimes tripped
up in the first step, and are likely to go
deeper If not helped to regain foothold.
The society asks for the help of all good
citizens
