The People and Their Newspapers.
From the Lexington XVI Herald


1t Is true that people always have the sort
OF laws they desire, but it is much truer
that they will always have the kind of
newspapers which they want. In the long
run newspaper Is obliged to conform to

main represent their views 1t will lose
money, and when a daily paper does lose
money it soon stops. Few realize how rap
idly It's end Isl it may be months or even q
few years, but no reputable paper continues
without the hearty support Of sufficient
number Of subscribers to justify its publica-
ton. If 1t does fairly represent a majority

A Result of Canteen Adjustment,
From the Chicago Times Herald

But the opponents of the canteen need
not go as far as Fort Smelling to ascertain
reliable data regarding the probable results
Of its adjustment. Out at Highwood, near
Fort Sheridan, they seem to have taken it
for granted tina. this Congress will pass the
army bill with the anti-canteen clause in
Guided and that the President will sign the
measure. Salocnkeepers have accordingly
anticipa ted the increased demand for intoXi-
cants on the part of the soldiers by opening
new whisky resort for their especial BEN
eft. The opening Of a new groggery can
hardly be ascribed to any other cause than
a belief that the canteen will be abolished
for the village already has eight saloons
which Is one to every thirty voters in the
place.
Citizens Of Highwood declare that if the
government canteen is abolished the village
will be rendered practically "uninhabit-
able" Not one but dozen new groggerles
will be opened. and they will be Of the
most disreputable and degrading character.

The project of having naval represent
tation at Washington on Inauguration day
ought to be carried out as far as the condi-
ton of these waters will permit. 1t would
be in the highest degree desirable that the
multitudes gathered here to witness the in
duction Of the President into office should
have a chance to see representatives of the
American navy, which recently won such
signal honors in war. There are doubtless
hundreds of tlsos sands millions of Amer
leans who have never seen man of war,
and to whom view of the fine specimens
of American naval workmanship would
prove patriotic inspiration. To all such
this opportunity, enhanced by the circum-
stances of the occasion. ought to be given.
The naval display should in fact follow as
matter of course upon the event, which
summons here thousands of marching men
to represent the military power of the ma
ton.
The suggestion of assembling a fleet of
war ships at Washington calls attention to
the fact that it is impossible today, owing
to the neglect of Congress, to steam any
of the larger vessels of the navy to the
wharf of the great naval gun foundry in
this city. The Anacostia's channel is now
so reduced that it is unsafe for even the
PRESIDENT s dlSpatch boat, the Dolphin, to
approach the wharf save at the highest
tides. A flrst-class cruiser would be stop
ped by the shoals before the mouth Of the
Anacostia was reached, for the Potomac
river is not in the very best condition, in
this respect. Work is now in progress a
few miles down stream which when COM
pleted will afford a safe channel for the
largest of the battle ships. The Anacostia
Improvement omitted from the river and
harbor bill by the House committee, would
follow as natural supplement to this bit
Of work in the main river, which puts a
finishing touch to the extensive and neces-
sary improvements west of the city.
Notwithstanding the disgraceful condi-
ton of the channel Of the Anacostia, there
is nothing to prevent the assemblage here
of a representative feet. The vessels could
not. of course, run up to the gun foundry,
where they would most appropriately lie at
anchor. but they could be held within view
Of the city and easy access for visitors.
Their presence would add vastly to the in
terest and dignity Of the occasion and
would incidentally suggest to Congress the
evils of procrastnation in the matter of
the absolutely necessary Anacostia chan

The mayor Of Allentown, Pa, has project
ed a new thought into the seething cauldron
Of modern society. Boys brought before
him were fined but the penalty often fell
heavily on poverty-stricken parents and
worked no reform. Then he ordered the
boys to report at home for spanking; but
this was unsatisfactory, as the parents Of
ten relented and then deceived the magis-
trate He tried to do the spanking himself
but grew weary. He now has an official
spanker, who sees to it that the bad boys
are personally punished. The idea is not
unworthy Of studious considerations in the
circles of scientific penology.
