politics, good Journalism, and good
English. 1t Is usually impossible on
account Of time, to rewritea reporter 8
copy but the editor or copy reader can
make presentable English out OF poor
by a few blue pencil scratches.
The aim of the daily paper is dis
tinctly not literary. AS I understand
il the function and purpose Of the
largest and best papers in this country
is to publish in each edition all the
accidents, incidents and occurrences
which have taken place in the twenty
four hours since the preceding issue.
[nnumerable mistakes in grammer, or.
typography and style will not discOn.
cert and mOrtify an editor So much as
a single omission of an important item
OF news. 1t follows then that report.

ability to find news aud report it &C.

ally the editorial columns are com
posed Of comment on the things that
happen, praise of the candidates, or
the admin stration. city, county, state
or national that belongs to the party
the paper, in question supports and
criticism Of the candidates Of the
party the paper does not support.
Commonly there is Il marked differ
cnce between the quality of English
on the news pages and that in use on
the editorial page. The editors write
discursively and somewhat at leisure.
The style and power Of the editorial
page gives tone to the rest of the
paper unless it be so yellow that moth
ing can obscure the tint.
In considering newspaper English
therefore, 1t must be granted that
there are two kinds in every paper.
Unfortunately for the style Of the
youth few read the editorials and all
read the news pages. 1t is unfor.
tunata because newspaper reading is
forming larger and larger proper.
ton OF the reading OF Americans.
The Sunday newspapers are magazines

youth allOts to his literary develop.
ment. 1t is not the occasional book
one reads, nor the occasional lecture
one hears that aid in forming the
style Of youth. 1t is the books or
papers we read every day and the
language we hear every day that
forms the basis of ones own style or
lack OF it. Some OF the most learned
men and women have been unable to
overcome the habit OF incorrect
speech acquired in youth at home or
on the streets. Therefore it ia most
important that the style OF daily
newspapers in news reports should
improve. There are a few news.
papers in this country, notably The
Sun Of New York and The Record of
Chicago all Of whose pages have q
distinct Style. Very few careless.
slovenly phrases are found on their
pages. The children who read p" pers
OF this sort, day after day and year
after year arc unconsc!ously educated
and uncOnsclously adopt the style or
a modification Of the style, so con.
stantly before them.
Yet In reading the papers charity
should accompany criticism, and it

Finally in selecting paper which

there is nothing better than good
weekly paper. The staff of weekly
paper is selected for its ability to write.
There IS time to correct and revise
the proofs and the demon OF news is
not so exigent. The weekly paper is
not exactly newspaper, except oc.
casionally in one department., and it
is not magazine. But it has the
close connection with and breathless
interest in transporting events that a
newspaper has and the literary as.
piratiOns and standards of the maya.
zine. The weekly paper fills unique
place in periodical literature which
neither the daily paper nor the
monthly magazine can do justice 20.
Snubbed by the daily papers, ignored
by the magazines, it has function. u
mission and opportunities which il is
fulfilling in spite of disdain.
The Short Skirt.
Investigation into the use of the
bicycle for sport indicates that it is
used principally as a means Of rapid
lOcOmOtiOn and not for the fun of
making the wheels go round Bicycle
clubs the country over languish, and
bicycle races no longer attract a
crowd. 1t has reached the level Of
any other vehicle Of locomOtion. AS
there are no buggy, coupe, or trap
clubs, there will soon be no bicycle
clubs. Not that wheeling has be.
come unpopular but.only a matter Of
course. The manufacturers have set.
tied down to make wheels as they
make buggies, sure that the demand
for them will be steady.
The passing of the bicycle from the
field OF recreation to that of serious
business is quietly effected and Is of
no particular consequence. In tax

humdrum machinery of everyday
