TALKS BY THE PUBLISHER.


1VHE TIMES, in its haSty reply to our 'talN'
of last Saturday, cndeavored TO turr the
attention of advertisers away from the question
Of Hat rate and direct il toward circulation.
1t would have advertisers believe that nothing
hut quantity is ot any value and have them lose
sight OF the fact that there are different quail
ties of circulation just as there different
qualities OF various other commodities. Adycr-
tisers are thoroughly satisfied with the quality
of circulation they get when they patroniyc The
Tribune, knowing that they get full value for
their money. In letter received yesterday an
advertiser took occasion TO refer to his past eX-
perience. lie said ave once advertised in
papers having a combined circulation of 2,0O0,O0
and afterward in a paper Of 3,7OO and the last
paper did us as much good as all the Others
combined"
But this is not to the point. The Times quot
ed portion of what we said on Saturday NOM
ing and attempted to answer it, IN the portion
quoted was the question: SIS there an adver-
tiser in the city OF Scranton paying s26 per
month for a 4.inch ad. on yearly contract, even
in preferred position?" We did not mention
the Times in our "talk,' but il acknowledges
the prices quoted as its own, thus: "lhe rates
quoted in the column headed THE Other Pa
per- in the above quotation are the rates OF the
Scranton Times, and strangely incredible as it
may appear to The Tribune, they are paid by a
good many advertisers who consider it a good
investment" 1t would be much more satisfac,
tory IL the Times had been more specific in
its reply to the question which it quoted. Now
| we will put it again and a little palmer: Is
there an advertiser in the city of Scranton pay
ing 500 per month for 4'inch ad, in the
Scranton Times on a yearly contract, even in
| preferred positionf We trust the Times will
| specify.
| The Times further says 81 believe the fiat
rate is coming in this country and believe it
| Is a good thing" ThaniSs. We are glad the
Times "believes'' 1t and trust it will soon have
the courage to stand by its convictions. The
Tribune always leads in "good things" but its
rates are not copyrighted. and are published
daily at the head of this page. Why not adopt
| the fat rate2

including some leisure In which to do
mischief. We do not think that the
time consumed by men in reading the
news of the day is a crying evil, de-
manding a heroic remedy. 1t is quite
true that time is wasted in reading
n lot of rubbish which apepars in
newspapers; but the man who reads
rubbish does so because he likes 1t.
If he could not find rubbish in a news
paper he would talk rubbish or listen
to rubbish. The only way in which
a newspaper can help such men is 10
lead them gently away from rubbish
by presenting the really important
things in an attractive form. To
know what are the really important
things and to be able to make them
attractive, requires ability, talent,
genius; and the real problem of the
Twentieth century is to draw these
qualities into the service of the news
paper and give them free scope.
I'VE are also opposed to Mr.. Harms
worth's plan for presenting busy men
| with abstracts of new books. We deny
that the fact of one mans writing a
book creates an obligation on the part
Of another man to read the book. We
| have never been able to understand
| why men should be anxious to keep
| abreast of the literature of the day.
| Many dishes appear on the menu of
an American bill of fare, but it is not
| necessary to taste all of them. Bread
| beef, mutton and potatoes will keep us
alive and in good health, and fighting
men have informed us that they have
cherished q, biscuit more thar much
fine gold. Mr.. Harmsworth says that
as the busy mann cannot read all the
books, he ought to have a synopsis
| thereof. We deny the necessity, and
we deny the value of the synopsis
What would be the value of a synopsis
of the Pilgrims Progress, Sartor Re-
sartus. In Memoriam, Vanity Fair, or
Middlemarch? Better read any one
of them and understand it thoroughly
than read abstracts of fifty books
There is a tendency to believe that be.
cause this is an era Of fast trains
steamboats,, telegraphs and other la
bor-saving devices, the day of leisure
| ly reflection is at an end. This Is a
mere fancy. which, however, has had
an injurious effect on journalism and
on literature. The real need of the
twentieth century is for some one tc
arise and advise men to take the strain
off their nerves, rest and think, and
trust in Providence"

Those who argue that vaccination is
worthless have to face some formid-
able statistics. For instance, in 1879
Holland made evaccination of school
average death rate among children OF
school age. from smallpox, had been SO
per 100000; since that time it has been
but Z per 100000. In 1875, Prussia
adopted the system. Previously, the
1t has since ranged from / to G. The
truth of these figures is thoroughly es-
tablished. 1t vindicates the wisdom OF
vaccination: all that remains open to
question is the method.

Twentieth Century Journalism.
HE VERDICT of the Toronto
Globe, a most intelligent and
Il representative journal, upon
tho iat oavt,,,, Z,

Il representative journal upon
the twentieth-century style
of journalism prophecied and pro-
NOTED by Editor Harmsworth of the
London Mail-whose idea is to turn
out a magazine of news, literature and
criticism at least once each day-is
interesting because the Globe is neither
''yellow" nor ossfied but typifies the
sane medium. Mr.. Harmsworth, it will
be remembered, recently embodied his
idea in a special issue of the New
York World. With that as it's text the
Globe says:
Underlying the whole scheme is the
supposition that the twentieth century
man is in q desperate hurry, and that
1t is necessary to his welfare that he
should know everything that is going
on. The true way to economize time is
not to boil down the important things,
but to omit altogether what is unim-
portant. 1t is not necessary for a busy
man or for any man to know all the
gossip of the day; and it seems to us
that to know half a dozen events thor
oughly is better than to skim over
fifty.
However, We are disposed not so
much to criticize Mr.. Harmsworth's
paper as to examine his underlying as
sumptions. We do not think that men
are In such desperate hurry as they
claim to be; and We believe that an
immense amount of time is wasted by
people who claim that every second of
their time is of enormous value. We
have heard of New York business men
who eat their lunch in ten minutes.
greatly to the injury of their digestive
apparatus, and then sit with their
feet on their desks for an hour. This
may be an exaggeration, but it is
probable that with a great number of
men hurry is a mere habit. Then we
may inquire, What will men do with
the time saved for them by the ed-
tor?' They may gamble in stocks, at
tend prize fights. or yawn through
wearisome social functions. There is
plenty of evidence In this.very issue
of the World that people really have
good deal OF time on their hands,

Il doubts. The history of poll

stances. Very rarely Is a politician of
resources, ability and merit extin-
guished by manufactured clamor. The
public. after all is said, believes in fair
play and does not long stand for hy-
pocrisy and false pretences. 1t recog-
nizes in Colonel Quay a magnanimous
and accomplished man of the world,
ready to act honorably toward all who
treat him in kind and manly enough
not to pose as a pattern of sanctity
when compelled to deal with the prac-
teal aspects of politics. To lift Them
selves up his opponents have made the
mistake of trying to knock him down;
and their assassin methods have pro-
voked a reaction.
Democratic victories in Pennsylvania
would not work change for the bet
ter, despite the zeal of advocates Of
fusion. The substitution of a Guffey
for Quay would very likely be a
change for the worse. There is Moth
ing Objectionable in Quayism which
would not be equally offensive in Cuff
fayism; and there are many traits in
Quay believed by those who know both
men to be superior to the best traits
in Colonel Guffey. Quay has learned in
long years of busy experience to fit the
means to the end and he scorns to dis
simulate while doing it. He never tries
to couple the vocation of the politician
with the professions of a pietist Yet
he Is man of ripe and varied scholar
ship, deep student of affairs and his
judgment in a contingency would be
preferable TO that of a very large per-
centage of his most vociferous critics.
That Quay represents fairly the
average public sentiment of Pennsyl-
vania none has reason to doubt. In a
popular vote he has never yet lost and
If one were held today we do not uues-
tion that 1t would indicate for him q
very considerable majority. He has
been influential in politics for third
OF a century and has consequently
made enemies as well as friends. The
combined venom of the former nearly
counterbalances the undertaking fideli-
ty Of the latter, thus throwing the bal
ance of power among citizens who are
unbiased. 1t is possible, and we think
probable, that clean and consistent
campaign Of education intended to in
culcate less selfish view of political
obligations than obtains in the circles
of Quayism would, if persisted in, lead
finally to verdict in behalf of reform.
But certainly reform will not be en-
HANGED by the ministrations of knayes
hveried in piety's garb nor by the
vapid clack of mere idealists whose
only contribution to the public welfare
is an incessant outflow of criticism and
disparagement. This is practical age

things. Quay in politics does things
Therefore he wins.
