4 Big Undertaking

The announcement made last week by
the Cumberland independent of morn
ing and evening daily paper and three
wceklicS under one control is interesting
The JOURNAL would not discourage
an enterprise so imposing, but after some
observation, study and experience, it has
reached the conclusion that type and
machinery are not the only provisions to
make in the establishment of an in
.f"rHt'"i newspaper.
These are Indispensable, it is true, but
without the OverShadoWing inspiration
Of that rare genius, the lcvel-headed,
independent, consistent editor born, not
made, they utterly fail of their true mis-
sion.
Hence, if the ideal newspaper be inn
practicable, it is primarily because the
ideal editor is lacking-thc editor who is
financially, intellectually and politically
Independent.
y corporation may find and employ
him, but IL must not at the same time
diScndOw him of the true editors heaven.
born liberty.
The ideal newspaper is probably i'm
practicable Secondarily because it is quite
impossible for one man, no matter how
gifted with wealth, talent, discretion,
and mcchoDjcoi ability, Ia do crrrythjny.
To do the best we can with the means
and opportunities at hand is all the pub
lie should expect if it does not wish to be
disappointed

THE Salt of the Earth"

For want of space last week attention
to the Cumberland Times affirmation
that 1.-The JOURNAL was born kicker,

The JOURNAL accepts the allegation

The Times places the JOURNAL i'll "A
respectable category.
Samuel Adams, whodid more probably
to precipitate the American revolution
than any other one man, was a kicker
born to the purple of the kicking king

So also was George Mason, who wrote
the first American Bill of Rights.
And there We're others of greater and

On the other hand, those who did not

A Needless Alarm.


"The Wynn Process of finding gold,

arating it, is exciting much interest in
Colorado.
Out of known gold-bcaring ore it has
extracted 36 times more gold than by the

What WIN They Do?

Messrs. Lewis and Drum are expected
to 20 into the democratic caucus and
vote for German.
Both gentlemen know, however, that
if there is one thing to which they do
not owe their election it is Gormanism.
Were it otherwise, Messrs. Stern,
Robosson, Murphy and Nave would have
been elected also.
But the same vote which carried Hugh
Mcmillan over 300 beyond the average
polled by his colleagues, carried Mr.
Drum over 300 beyond his colleagues
average and elected him.
This was the "Organized labor vote,
which has no more use for Mr.. German
than it has for 10 cents ton.
The question to which this leads is
will Messrs. Lewis and Drum represent
the people who elected them by practl-
cally allowing their votes to be cast for
them at Annapolis?
The JOURNAL knows it is hard to get
away from the ring theory that because
'OthcrS are Tor bOr1lan IneN SnouId

and voice that of "OthcrS.'
But it is their duty, nevertheless, to

alone.
In such instances, isolation is splendid.

A Bad Symptom.

The Cley Gland Leader in recent
issue contained an editorial which
must have grated upon the sensibili-
ties of such of its readers as believe
in American principles. 1t said:
One need not be suspected of the
slightest leaning toward any form of
hereditary government il he admits
freely that many monarchies are far
better governed than most of the re-
publics in South America. The con-
ditions which are chronic in countries
like Venezuela and the United States
of Colombia axe a reproach to the
name of democracy. They burlesquc
free institutions.
1t is bad symptom when great
daily offers gratuitous insult to the
republics Of South America in order
to show its respect for monarchy.
The first part Of the item was very
lame apology for what follows and
instead of relieving the editor from
suspicion shows that he was conscious
that his words il properly construed
would prove him to be sympathizer
with the European idea of govern
ment.-The Commoner.

Oul Claim Against China

The United States is going to make
claim on China for s25, 100000 on
account OF damage to the life and
property of citizens of the United
States during the recent troubles in
northern China, This amount is
much smaller than the European ma
tlons will demand, but it is at leas,
ten times as great Us anybody in this
country would think OF presenting
any nation thrt was not helpless na-
tion. We venture to say that for nil
the damage the United States or itA
citizens have suffered in China, the
United States would not dare to de-
mand of any other nation than China
more than s2,5O0,00O-at any rate
we would not dare to enforce such a
demand. The total number of
officers and enlisted men in our army,
killed in China, last year, was thirty
two, and sixty-three other deaths re-
suited. The number of wounded was
III. Thus the largest possible num-
Der on the casualty list is 272. II
our government could collect from
China $4,000 for each man killed
aud wounded the amount would be
s2,72O,0OO. The losses of the mis-
sionaries cannot at the outside be
expanded into more than $500, 900.
1t is said that the cost of our expo
dition must be paid by China The
truth must be that $4,000, 900
would be an enormous sum for China
to pay us for what happened last
year. Fifty millions would be an am
pie sum to reimburse all the nations,
and yet the prospect is that the Chin
ese will be asked to pay $500, 900. 900.
