The most unique piece of newspaper
enterprise and experiment that has
ever been undertaken in the country,
is that just completed by the Topeka
Daily Capital, wherein Rev. Sheldon,
the preacher author, undertook to
manage daily as he believed Christ
would run it. There are some features
to the Sheldon edition that could be
engrafted to the modern daily with at
least profit to the readers. One of
these is the large range of discussion
philosophical, religious and social
that has been SO prominent in the
Capital during the Sheldon manage
ment. The modern daily is devoted
almost entirely to news and politics.
while philosophical, religions and
social discussions are left to the maya
zines or papers devoted wholly to
these subjects. But the majority of
the people of the United States read
only the secular press, and it would
seem that this feature of the Sheldon
departure from the stereotyped policy
ola daily paper could be adopted bv the
press with profit both to the publishers
and their readers.
