FREAK JOURNALISM.
Some Timely Thoughts on the Subject
by a Learned Rabbi.


by n Learned Rabbi.
From a sermon by Pastor Birsch Of Sinai Temple.
Chicago.
THE eyes of many both earnest and
curious, are turned to the capital of the
state of Kansas. Famous for many contri-
buttons to the museum of human eccen,
tricities, this commonwealth is about to add
a new paragraph to Its record of expert
rnents along lines out of the ordinary. This
time ii is an earnest and undoubtedly a
fine fibered clergyman who is the cynosure
of all eyes. He will edit a newspaper as
Jesus would have DONE His intentions are
so pure that the ready criticism suggesting
presumption basic to the attempt VIII
not be in place. The minister believes that
he can know how Jesus would act were He
among us today. Many differ from him.

conduct for the Master in modern sur
roundings from the material at my COM
mand CLEANED from New Testament and
contemporary Jewish literature.
However, this consideration is not basic
10 the enterprise bout to be piloted by Rev,
Mr.. Sheldon. His main thesis is that the
newspapers as they now exist fail to do
that which by the demands of the highest
ethical standard they should do. And for
this reason the gentleman is ready to give
US an object lesson. 1t is easy to see that
the venture will prove nothing. Advertised
for weeks over the whole continent and
probably In all English-speaking countries,
the edition about to issue under the
management of the ambitious teacher has
taken on before its birth even the very ele.
ments which We are told help to cast suss
plcion on ordinary newspaper undertakings.
Sensaticnalism uDavodably enwraps the
new departure. The possibility to publish
successfully a newspaper along the lines ap-
proved of by the reverend amateur editor
is not demonstrated by SO triumphant an
event of the Undertaking. Common sense
would have suggested, in order to make
the experiment valuable. that absolute
silence should have marked the change in
the editorial chair.
1T is impossible to edit newspaper for

But what about the registration of crime,
vice, brutality? If the thesis be true that
the newspaper is bound to chronicle hap
penfngs and mirror life as II Is. the darker
phases of human doings and sufferings cam
not be suppressed. They are chapter Of
the days history. Their neglect would
falsely the register. Objection might lie
against undue emphasis. But with few
newspapers the attempt is clear TO tone
down rather than to accentuate strongly
the seamy sides of life. Publicity is the
corrective of many evils. Ignorance is not
to be COMPOUNDED with innocence. Prudery
masquerades a virtue which is in reality
absent. Art has often suffered from the
unholy zeal of the fanatic The press has
other standards to adopt than those of the
prig or the prude. Coarseness, indeed is

Chffdhood's Lessons Not Lost.

From The San Francisco Argonaut.
A story is going the rounds at Harvard
concerning last years graduate dutiful
son and an Industrious student, yet withaI
a somewhat literal youth. At the begin
ming of his concluding year his father, who
was just setting out for Europe, said to
him: Now, Harry. You get your degree,
and I'll send for You to come over and
travel all summer Harry was delighted.
Father" said he, II will" He studied
faithfully all the college year, and in June
went through with flying colors. Then he
cabled his father: Yes" But the father
had forgotten his impulsive offer. He unused
over the message, wondered and then cabIed
back: Yes, what?" The son was in turn
perplexed: but, being a well-trained lad, he
did not remain long in the dark and, fired
by duteous zeal, cabled back: Yes sir"
Letters of explanation followed and he ID

because you get out Of Pompey's gang"
Whereupon, summoning his assistants, he
blew up the charcoals with the bellows,
and in a short space he had riveted pair
Of stout rings about Wills naked ankles.

smaller rings let in upon either side, to
which again chains were fastened. Then it

Made Trouble for Himself.


They met at the Woman's Republican
Club ball at Christensen's. She was from
the east; he was home product. The
conversation Jagged between the dances.
Finally he ventured this: How do you
like David Harum?" She bristled like
porcupine. II have no use for harems Of
any kind" she retorted; they're just per-
fectly horrid. Look at the Sultan of SuluI
Look at those wretches in Turkey! The

CHAPTER xxx.

The chain gang in which We presently
found ourselves was made up chiefly Of
men from those northern provinces Of old
Spain which lie nearest to France. From
the man to whom I was chained learned
much. He was a Frenchman named Jean
Carrel, born at MILAN in the. Cevennes.
At the outbreak Of the later religious wars
he had sold his vineyard near Carcassonne
and crossed the mountains into Spain. Set
Ting at Bilbao, he had become very sue
cessful in trade with England. All too sue
cessful, indeed, for his growing wealth at

he was seized and cast into the dungeons
of the holy office. He spoke very excellent
English, and being good and kindly man,
though with no great profession OF religion
about him, at least from my Scots point of
view, he told me many things which were
very useful to meas how to lie in chains
most comfortably. how to pad the waist
belt and ankle rings to keep them from
chatting, how to faSten up the connecting
links in festoon to keep the weight from
trailing, with other matters Of great assist
ance to me at this time. Apart from this
his discourse was, mostly Of wine growing
and vintages, and by no means SO much Of
religion as had anticipated, which relieved
me much.
I had hoped to have Will with me as my
companion, but It was better for US both

Words seemed to fail him to describe the

LAcKAWANNA NOTES.

1t is said that every claim growing
out of the wreck Mt Paterson ON the
Lackawanna Railroad on Nov. 30 last
has been adjusted amicably save those
arising from the deaths of Alexander
Craig and family. In the matter,
which is yet pending, the attorney for
the company, we are informed, esti-
mates the railroads legal liability at
a sum not to exceed 81, 200; but it
seems assured that the management of
the company. which has publicly and
very honorably. through its general
superintendent, admitted it's RESPONSE
bility for that distressing accident,
will, in it's overtures of settlement
with the Craig heirs, not stand wholly
on technical points, but fulfill it's
favorable reputation for fair and
liberal dealing.

righteous life, he shows the devil on

with great favor at the hands of the
Republic. 1t is simple device of a
book containing paraffine paper leaves
between which the gummed stamps
can repose without getting stuck up
or stuck together in hot or moist
weather. The books will be made to
hold twelve, twenty four, and forty
eight stamps, and will be sold at one
cent advance on the price of the
stamps to defray the cost of the books.
1t is great little scheme. 1t will be
in operation in three months or less,
