AN OPINION OF NEWSPAPERS.
The Editor of the Century Tells What
He Thinks of Them.

Interview with Richard Watson Glider, in
the Outlook.
lone of the best tests you can find of the
moral caliber of periodical is IN the cnaI-
acter of its advertising. By the sense of re-
sponsiblity shown in the advertisements al
mitted YOU may not be able to discern the
religious denomination but you can gauge
correctly the moral grade of the proprietor
ship.
the swash served in the sensational papers
is certain, and it Is to be hoped that there
will soon be a reaction. Just what degree or
excellence in journalism the public are pre-
pared for is a question. 1t is perhaps not 10
be expected that people without culture Will
show fine taste and discrimination, but az
the same time we know very well that some
of the best literature has the widest clrcula-
ton. One would think this evidence that
there is opportunity for the best In news
papers. The discOuraging thing Is that so
many members of the more intelligent por-
ton of the community will buy the very
papers abused and despised and will read
or not. They get to craving news, and lots
of it. and unconsciOusly look for something
put out with a bang: There Is so much crit
icism that one would think there would be
more selection, but people have the notion
that a one-cent crime is no sin.
Readers ought 10 realize that they them
selves are largely responsible for the sensa-
tiOnalism Of the daily papers. They can't
put all the blame on the speculative proprie-
tors with their rotary presses and cheap
processes. II readers are self-lndulgent and
willing to crafty curiosity by patronizing
and helping support trashy publication
the moral responsibility rests on them as
we'll as the owners. Publishers will fur
nish better papers If readers refuse TO buy
poor ones. We need not carry the sense OF
responsibility TO the point of morbidness.
but we should feel II and act accordingly.
''All this applies 10 magazines as forcibly
as to newspapers. The sphere OF the maya
zine and the sphere of the newspaper over
lap, but ii is all journalism. The difference
is mainly that the magazine, as rule. gives
literature and art prepared with more de-
liberation and with greater authority. As
for sensationalism. you find II in monthlies
well in dailies. though so far the
magazines have shown more restraint than
the newspapers. Yet that there are differ
ences in ethical and literary and artistic
standards in magazines. as In all other
classes Of periodicals, is very apparent. The
public has a duty OF selection here. OF
course, as well as with the daily press.
There is one thing that one does not
hear so much about now as formerly
namely the suppression of genius There
are so many periodicals that it, would be
difficult for any one of them to suppress any
given new genius lie or she is not only
sure Of getting Il hearing. but OF getting n
printing. The editor. therefore is no longer
the terrible being who decides fates. This
IS well, for / suspect he Eever quite de-
served his fame as distributor Of literary
destinies."

. Song of Love.

My love has eyes of gold and golden hair,
My love has beauty as a crown to wear,
And goodness like spotess robe upon her; -
o good and dear and fair!
My love has smiles that make old age grow
young,
Hands like white roses, and a silver tongue;
And yet, by me, who through Gods grace have
her,
How can her praise be sung?
In heaven is it Of heaven that they sing?
Rather of some fororn remembered thngi
So / would sing the winter of life without her
Who taught my life its spring.
II
But they who in the outer darkness wake,
And keep q lightless vigil for her sake,
These the wild, lovely hopeless songs about hers
Which praise her best, shall make.

Daily Journal, Tuesday.
Mr.. Chairman: I'm in favor OF nominal.
Ing Republicans for County High school
trustees: II can't vote for Republicans,
won't vote at all"
Ihls utterance, made in the Repub.
lican county convention last summer
by Il. w. Morgan, superintendent OF
the poor farm, while the question Of
nominating candidates for County
High school trustees was under dis.
cussion, cost him his Official Job. Mr..
Morgan has held the position Of sup.
erintendent Of the poor farm
for severa! years under a Populist
board OF county commissioners. Nor.
gan is Republican, and one of the
most efficient superintendent that
ever presided over the poor farm.
The Populist board reelected him
last year, although his bid was higher
than others. He was a delegate to
the county Republican convention
last summer; the convention was
divided on the question of bringing
the County High school into politics.
Morgan made partisan speech and
offended the sensibilities OF the Popu.
lists, who desired to keep the school
out of politics. The POpuist board
of commissioners yesterday afternoon,
when the letting Of new contract for
the superintendency Of the poor farm
came up for consideration, remem-

message to the legislature attacking
him 10 his absen:e. In the letter he
has conveyed very strong intima-
tion that he will soon adopt another
means of settling the matter with
him.
Brown, during the special session of
the legislature, stated publicly in the
house of representatives that he had
letter in his possession duplicating
the governor in deal to refuse the
governor of Texas reQuisition for a
criminal In consideration of $50
10 Doodle. 1t caused quite sensation.
Governor Leedy very cleverly sent a
message TO the house demanding OF
that body to compel Brown to prove
his charges. Brown became alarmed
over talk that sounded to him as il
an attempt would be made to fire him
out of the legislative body. He met
WIN a caucus of party leaders, to
wfom he showed the letter, which in
reality, was written by a Republic
can OF high standing. He would have
been ouSted from the legislature next
day had it not been for the fact that
ne promised to apologize. In his
apology, however, he failed to cover
the ground OF exOneratiOn as he ought
to have done, and the governor sent
another message, in which he called
Brown liar, a coward, a sneak and
other things along the same line.
Brown says he was not in the house
OF representatives when this message
was sent to that body by the governor,
and he feels himself wrOnged. The
friends of Leedy say that it was no
fault Of the governor that Brown was
not in the house TO hear himself
roasted.

A Chance for ingalls,.

An odd bit of political gossip comes
from Topeka. 1t is to the effect that
in case the evolution OF politics should
bring about the resignation of Senator
Baker before the adjournment of the
present session, and the consequent
necessity OF an election Of his sue.
cessor, it is not impossible that a
combination may be made between
the Republican opponents of ]. R.
Burton and the POpulist members of
the legislature, to defeat Mr. Burton
for senator.
1t is known that Mr.. Burton has
laid his wires very carefully, and in
case it devOlves upon the present
legislature to elect a United States
senator, he would, in all probability,
be the nominee Of the Republican
caucus. Notwithstanding this, Mr..
Burton has a number of opponents
among the Republican members.
There is rumOr of scheme on foot
among these to stay away from any
caucus which may be called 10 nom
mate a Republican candidate for
senator, and in case Burton captures
the majority of the Republicans, to
form a combination with the Popu-
lists to defeat him and elect some
other Republican.
1t has been the usual custom of the
minority to hold a caucus, nominate
a candidate, and vote for him as a
matter of form, but 1t would not be at
all unprecedented for the minority to
JOIN a portion of the majority, if
thereby the majority caucus could be
defeated and disorganized.
On a joint ballot in the present
legislature the Populists have 90 votes.
1t requires SO votes to elect a United
States senator. If the combination
can be made, % Republicans can name
as United States senator any opponent
Of Mr.. Burton upon whom they may
agree.
1t is said that there are many more
than % Republicans in both house
and senate who will be willing to
make most any sort of combination to
defeat Mr.. Burton, provided the
combination is upon some leading
Kansas Republican.
The scheme has not yet assumed a
tangible form, but that it has been
thought of as feasible in case of an
emergency, there can be little doubt.
The POpulists suggest that if the
anti-BurtOn Republicans nominate
John j. ingalls, they will vote for him.
