REV. CHARLES NJ SHELDON AS AN EDITOR.
should be conducted. but this was prin-
cipally with view Of the establishment
Of an experimental publication in one of
the largest cities in the, country.
In discussing this matter AIR. Sheldon
said he would have each Of the employees
and attaches Of the sheet, no matter in
what capacity he served, whether re-
porter or prcss1nan, a Christian. He in
sisted he would print all the important
and interesting news Of the world with as
much dash and enterprise rs did his com
petitors. In addition. however. Mr.. Shell
don said that two or three times weekly
he would have an entire page devoted to
the happenings in the religious world in
all lands-just like the foreign page
which is now regular feature of a num-
Der OF leading lailics.
Another feature. and one which it is
thought by some will be included during
the week of Mr.. Sheldon's retention of
the managerial chair of The Daily Capt.
tai, is the publication of 4 serial story,
one instalmrnt to be printed each day.
This he had in view for the larger Chris
tan daily newspaper which he talked Of
some time after the appearance in book
form Of I'm His Steps,
4 serious feature Of Mr.. Shellon's
week in journalism will be his Sunday
paper, for The Capital is proud of it's
good Sunday issue. This has been broach-
ed to Mr.. Sheldon and was met with the
following statement:
Il have always denounced Sunday
newspapers as evils which should not Dv
tolerated, yet | contemplate printing a
Sunday edition of The Daily Capital |
Il 4 7 !
yet be consistent in my attitude toward
the S1n>!Ay papey. 1t is one C tie mys-
tcrieS which | shall solve between now
and the time | take charge Of the paper;
From all parts of the country appic:,-
tons are coming to Mr. Sheldon for posi-
tons on Tho Daily Capital during his
week Of management. BY mail and wire
these applications are being received. ami
already the postal authorities have been
obliged to detail an extra carrier to care
for the mail matter which is addressed t.,
Mr.. Sheldon. So numerous have been the
applications of late that the recipient was
Dbliged to invoke the assistance Of the
Associated Press to announce that the
present reportorial and mechanical force
of The Daily Capital would be retained
during the week that he will be in charge
of the paper.
Mr. Sheldon's contemplated entrance
into the active field of everyday journal
Ism will not be the first experience he has
had in that line. Some years ago be
worked as a reporter on one of the loca
papers for a week. 1t was to get initial:
ed into the mysteries OF the modern daily
that Mr.. Sheldon did that.
Mr.. Sheldon seems to realize thorough
" that many noted diyines regard it Al
presumptuous for any man to assume t.
say what Jesus would do under certain
conditions. Criticism and censure for his
conduct do not apparently prove {
= source of any anxiety to him. ImbueC
with the belief that he is acting in thu
best interests Of his fellow man and rec
ognizing the wonderful power exercised
over all sorts and conditions of people b,
the public press, it is his aim to show t.
=. his critics that practical reforms may b.
+. made in the direction which it is his If,
work to urge.
