A NUISANCE IN JOURNALISM

According to a special to a local morn
Ing paper Mrs Cohen, the Utah lady
delegate TO the Kansas convention, was
q object Of q scurrllous attack In the
Kansas City Star The account says
that paper had a carlcature Of the lady
and a relation Of her alleged unbecom-
Ing conduct during the parade.
The report, 1t need not be said. was
false In toto and the reporter found
an exit from the hole into which he had
placed hls paper by laying the blame
upon another woman, who, he said, had
acted 10 the way described and added a
falsehood 20 her uulsdylike behavior,
telling the reporter that she was Mrs
Cohen, Of Utah.
II this version Of II Is true, the young
man concerned must not have attended
the convention, although he was one Of
the reporters The Utah lady was prom
lnent enough In that gathering 10 at
tract attention, having made a speech
secondlng the nominee OF the party; but
the star reporter did not know her from
an apparently crazy woman outside the
conyentlonl
Some folks VIII find It difficult TO ac-
cept this explanation without a liberal
allowance OF the traditional salt, They
win think that In all probability the
Star reporter made the mistake OF sup
posing that the fanaticlsm Of a portion
Of the star readers is such that they
would accept with appreciation any in
suit offered to a Utah woman.
Such a mistake might be excusable
In view Of the almost lncessant false
hoods promulgated concerning Utah by
some trainers OF public opinion. But Il
Is nevertheless great mistake The
common sense Of the American people.
although at times silent when the
storms Of agitation sweep over the
country. always asserts itself as soon
as the fury has subsidized. and the PEG.
pie Of Utah have as many true friends
and admirers among the general public,
as ever, probably many more.
In the case Of the insult offered TO
the Utah lady delegate. the Star. we
are told, was very properly made TO
apologize, and 20 right, as far as posi-.
BILE, The wrong done. And this should
be a lesson to other members OF the
press, which, much less respectable
than the Star, sin daily against persons
Of both sexes IN their absurd carlca-
lures and puerile twaddle. It seems 10
be taken for granted that when llbels
are published In the form OF ugly
drawings. the publisher Is exempt from
the operations OF the law.
This may be a debatabie question, but
Il 81 quite sure that II the victims Of
such journalism would adopt the course
followed by Mr.. Cohen on behalf of his
wife. they would be upheld by public
opinion Caricature journalism has be-.
come a nuisance IN many places. and is,

The loss Of property reaches a highly
sensational magnitude. Already the fire
loss Tor the first five months OF the year
had attained record-breaklng proper
tons, when this ten million addition
came as June's final great contribution.
The loss must fan somewhere, either on
the fire or marine underwriters. or the
company. or perhaps on an three. The
Elhe OF this same line was lost az sea
not long ago and the Elder on the
English coast aud now the chapter Of

spared for financial losses, however
great and distressing, while more than
two hundred lives are lost and more
than three hundred injured are In the

New York city had a narrow escape
last saturday. when sparks from the
burning steamships towed out into the
Hudson from their docks at Hoboken
started a blaze on the east side OF the
river. a fire getting a good start during
the prevalence " a brisk wind might
lay all the river property along West
street IN ashes. To a Milwaukeean. the
Combustible character OF the freight
sheds and docks IN the Gotham metrop-
oils seems a reckless flying IN the face
OF Providence. The lake steamers lying
at their docks IN Milwaukee, alongside
OF freight houses built Of brick or coz
rugated iron, are far more secure In
their surroundings than are the Inn
mensely larger and more valuable ocean
craft thrust into slips fanked by huge
wooden sheds In the greatest harbor OF
