SHELDON PAPER A MODEL.
But Gould Not Be Made Financial
Success.
TFrom the St. Louis Republic.1

TFrom the st. Louis Republic.1
The Reverend Milton j. Norton OF
Emmanuel Congregational church took
newspapers as the theme for his Sun
day morning discourse and answered
the question rs there a call for a
Christian daily?" in the affirmative.
The sermon was suggested by the Rev
erend Mr.. Sheldon's experiment at To-
peka, Kan; and the text was taken
from one of Mr.. Sheldon's favorite pas
sages of scripture: I have given you
an example that We should do as have
done. John, xiii. Is.
Mr.. Norton construed the text as an
injunction to all Christians to carry
their religion into their daily lives, and
to live as nearly as possible as Christ
lived. He stated in the outset that he
heartily approved the paper published
for one week by Mr.. Sheldon, ana be-
lieved the idea has come to stay. The
sermon was more from the ethical than
the practical side of the question, and
dealt largely with the class of news
printed daily, rather than with sug-
gestions as to how the faults of papers
in general might be remedied.
Regarding the demand for daily pa
pers of a religious character Mr.. Nor
ton expressed his belief that Christian
people generally could be induced to
subscribe to them, and that they should
be run on lines broad enough to ignore
all denominatiOnal differences of opin-
given at present to certain classes of
news and too little to other classes, and
that certain advertisements should be
barred. In short, he took Mr.. Sheldon's
paper as the model
He said he did not think daily papers
run on these lines would be financial
successes.
When seen later by a Republic re-
porter Mr.. Norton was asked how it
would be possible to maintain papers
that were not Self-SupDOrtine and said
he thought they should be endowed,
just as universities, and other educa-
tional institutions are. His idea is that
New York and Chicago should be able
to start such papers now. and that
enough subscribers could be secured
within mailing distance IF the two
cities to pay considerable proportion
of their running expenses. He did not
think st. Louis would maintain such a
publication at present, but that it
might in the course of time. He had no
plan for reaching the smaller cities and
rural districts

ly due. The Post has advocated the re-
duction, not in all cases the destruc-
ton, of schedules thus outrageously
abused.
What Is congress going to do in or
der to put the Republican party in good
form for the campaign The president
has called the attention of congress to
the trust evil and left to that body the
duty of devising and applying such
remedies as are in the scope of national
legislation. It is admitted on all sides
that some of the trusts are beyond the
reach of national authority. It is adj
mitted by all fair minded men that
there are some trade combines which
have by legitimate means reduced the
cost OF production while increasing
wages, and not increasing prices. No
indiscriminate warfare on trusts is
called for. But against the sort of
combines that are taking advantage
of protective duties to prey on the pub
lie there is a remedy at hand, and ev-
cry congressman knows what it is.

Liberia Hasn't a War Vessel
Left to Her Name.

London, March 27.-Mail advices re
ceived here from Monrovia, the capital

in the harbor of Monrovia. March 10,
while the Gorronomah was capsized in
the st. Paul river. where she was going
to be overhauled.
The loss of the gunboats which cost
about $4,000 will be seriously felt by
the government of Liberia, which, pro-
badly will be unable to replace them.
The Rocktown was a steel gunboat,
so called, rugged as a fore and aft
schooner and having one smoke stack.
She was 100 feet long. had 20 feet beam,
was said to be able to steam u knots
and mounted one six FOUNDER quick fir
ing gun and three machine guns.
The Gorronomah was a steel vessel,
IS feet inches long with a displace-
ment of $50 tons and an estimated speed
of II knots. Her armament consisted of
one six FOUNDER quick firing gun, one
three FOUNDER quick firing, and two
brass Saluting guns.

FOUR DEPARTMENTS
And Governor For Each to Be Ar
ranged In Philippines.

Washington, March 27.-At the cabi-
net meeting today Secretary Root pre-
scented a proposition. which had been
submitted by Gen. Otis looking to the
establishment of four geographical di-
visions of the Philippine archipelago,
each to be under the immediate super
vision OF a military governor. This
plan, it was thought. would relieve Gen.
Otis from much routine work, and at
the same time result in a better and
more satisfactory administration of the
several divisions.
The proposition met with general ap-
proval and Gen. Otis will be so inform
ed The details of the plan will be
work out as soon as possible The cab
met also discussed the situation in
kentucky- Senator Deboe and Represen-
tat1ve Pugh saw the president and sew
eraI members of the cabinet before the
meeting today. 1t is learned that no
Federal interference was requested nor
IS any desired, but it has been iiltima-
ted that the moral support of the ad-
miniStration would be very helpful and
welcome as would an expression of
sympathy. The delegations that have
been here. so far as can be learned, have
asked nothing more than that it can be
stated on high authority, that however
much the president may sympathize
with the Republicans in Kentucky he
realizes that the federal government
cannot take any part in the contro-
cersy. The questions at issue are be-
fore the courts, and SO far as the gov
eminent is concerned, it is positively
asserted, the courts will be allowed to
pass upon them, without the least in
terIerence or an expression of interest
by the federal authorities.
