Illustrations Of the prevailing notion
that the ruling passion manifests itself
most strongly In death are more or less
apocryphal. and tt In rare that it Is 30
strikingly exemplified a. In the case OF
the great journalist. Joseph Medill. He
was conscious up to the moment Of
death. which he met with calm placid
tty: saying only two minutes before the
soul left the body, MY last words
shall be- What 10 the news?'"
He died asking the question which
for 20 many years he had been answer
Ing. He was . Newspaper man OF the
best. the most exalted. type. The Chi
cago Tribune, Of which he was the
editor In chief. did not belong to the
new yellow journalism: 1t was under
his guidance q newspaper which aimed
to give the news. quickly. truthfully
and impartially. There are very few
newspapers In the United States OF
which this could be more truthfully
said. Like the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat under the late Joseph B. McCul-
lagh, the editorial columns Of the Chi
cago Tribune were entirely distinct
from the news columns. The editorial
writer Of a newspaper conducted upon
such lines takes the place Of the reader
himself He reads of the facts in the
news columns and draws his own con-
illusions. He does not form his opin-
ions from any other source than the
news as published and from general OBJ
servations Of written history and the
passing experience of other communal
ties.
Still. 1t must be admitted with some
regret on the part OF all who believe
In the higher standards of Journalism.
that the Tribune did not have 30 great
q circulation as paper conducted up
on more sensational and partisan lines.
For the past few years the New York
Journal and the World have been in
demand: and the more conservative
newspapers have been compelled In a
measure to cater to the popular taste.
A lover Of his profession feels the same
repugnance To the yellow journal that
an actor OF the legitimate school feels
for the tawdry inanities OF modern bur-
lesuue The passing fancy will die ont.
the press and the stage will be purified
and the standard set by Joseph Medill
will be demanded by an intelligent peo-
PIE. who viii weary Of vicious and UNI
truthful sensationalism and insist that
every newspaper shall devote its atten-
ton to answering, directly and truth
fully. the daily question, what is the
news?'

lie on the sides of a deep ravine through
which the Tongue river wends its way.
1t is a most picturesque scene to stand
on the hill tops directly over the cement
beds and look down into the valley with
it's sparkling stream and it's beautiful
groves. A site comprising between ten
and twenty acres has been selected on
the level area at the bottom of this ravine
and the mill, which will be a building
forty feet wide by 12O feet long, built of
very heavy timbers and strongly ironed
and accessory buildings are being built
thereon.
