criticism is that of the Brooklyn Eagle.
which, noting the antipathy OF Mr.. Shell
don to Sunday editions and sporting
news, speaks to the point:
1.-THE first thing OF all which Jesus
sought in his three years of ministry was
influence over his fellow men. So that
he got their ear he did not worry whether
he got it on Sunday or a week day. II
he was In the newspaper business the

One does not wish to be uncharitable
to Mr.. Sheldon. but there IL fact OBJ
vious on the surface which warrants
the use Of the expression IAN advertise
ing scheme" in connection with this
venture. Mr.. Sheldon has expressed
himself vigorously to the effect that the
newspaper of today is altogether and
hopelessly wrong. To realize his ideal,

Gated in his own ideas. He accepts the
offer Of daily newspaper for exactly
six days. and In that time he proposes
modestly to equal the record OF the

the mundane instruments OF what he
regards as sordid and soul destroying

This circumstance, OF an opportunity
limited to six days. with unconsecrated
presses carnai advertising men who are
not trained to give to him that asketh
without a return. and reporters still in
the gall OF bitterness that searches for
news wherever II may be found, speaks
almost as loudly for the caution OF the
manager of the Topeka Capital as his
thousands OF letters soliciting opinions
upon his new departure do for his
shrewdness as a disciple Of mammon.
1t also suggests some reflections upon
either the sincerity or the common
sense Of the Rev. Mr. Sheldon that are
better inferred than spoken.

Not single act of the administration
In dealing with the Cuban question can
be condemned honestly by its political
opponents. The object of such resolu-
tions as the above is simply to create
trouble. They are designed to furnish
a weapon for the reckless and irrespon-
sible agitators with which Cuba, like
this country, Is cursed. The inevitable
failure of the resolutions to pass con-
gress can be used by these agitators TO
stir up possible revolts with the argu-
ment that congress has shown that 1t
does not intend TO keep faith with the
Cubans and that the United States will

To the Editor: 1t has been frequently
remarked by members Of the bar from diff
Weren't localities In this state. that 1t would
add much to the value and usefulness OF
our supreme court reports. II the opinions
of the court, were preceded by accurate
statements OF the facts. upon which the
decisions are based. In numerous In
stances the statements are 30 measer, thar
it Is exceedingly difficult to tell wnat has
actually been decided by the court; how far
an opinion in a given case is authority; and
how much OF II is mere dicta. The sugges-
lions indicated are acted upon by the SUI
preme court of the United States and by the
tribunals in other states, where the decis-
ions are reported; and why should not such
course be pursued in this state? 1t is usual
for the Judge delivering the opinion to
prepare the narration OF facts, preliminary
TO the decision OF the court. In cases
where the facts are complicated, the re-
porter can hardly be expected 10 prepare
the statements. for ne would have 20 do
about one-half of the work of Ave judges;
