A HOUSE DliiEtD,
cations.

Once more the time honored axiom,
like father, like son. has been set at
nausht. The son of John Wanamaker
has left the beaten path followed by his
father and branched out into ways hith-
erto new and untried by the house
of Wanamaker. Father and son have
lahored tremendously for years, ana
among their multiplicity of enterprls IS
has been a newspaper known as the
Philadelphia North American. This pub
LEGATION has been issued but six days in
the week while the senior Wanamaker
held the rains, but last Sunday, when
the restraining hand OF the elder Wanna
maker was removed, it came out 4
regular seven day in the week news
paper. An editorial addressed somewhat
pompously ITO the Public" sets forth
the fact that henceforth the paper Will
be controlled by the younger scion Of
the house of Wanamaker and in cold
type the declaration is made that John
Wanamaker, senior, has no authority
over the property or mana gement what
ever"
The younger Wanamaker, in the full
flush OF his ambition to be up and
doing. announces in nmistakable lam
guage that he will permit no gaps in his
line Of battle in the journalistic warfare
he has entered upon. He overturns the
traditions Of the house of Wanamaker
and spikes with one fell blow the cannon
OF opposition in the following language:
With todays issue, the North Ameri-
can enlarges the field of its opportunities
for carrying on the contest of the people
for good government and the rescue CO
the state and city from the evil fore IS
that now dominate the administration
A duty so high and a service SO mpor-
tant ought not, we believe, to suffer a
lapse of one day in seven.
A large portion Of the worthiest and
best citizens of the community, we are
aware, dissent on ethical grounds from
Sunday publications. At least an equal
number of citizens of the same worthy
class believe, on the same grounds, in
the continuity of journalistic service. \
respectful recognition should be accorded
to the opinions and motives of each.
The Puritan general, Cromwell, did not
| hesitate to make battle for liberty and
| free conscience even on the Lords day.
Some of his most important victories for
freedom were won by his psalm singing
soldiers on the day they reverenced as
of holy obligation.
BY the issue of a Sunday edition the
North American has added another arm
to it's equipment for the service of the
peoples cause.
There can be but little doubt, judging
! from the foregoing, that the son of his
| father is feeling his oats, and it is fair
| to presume that if he is looking for
steady employment he has found it in
| his latest undertaking.

will be the course pursued by the yellow
press and it's dangerous disciples up to
the time of the Buffalo horror turned
the searchlight upon it's daily misdeeds.
The general sentiment of the American
people is seldom wrong. and it is the
deep and abiding conviction of the vast
majority of citizens that the tragedy at
Buffalo was directly traceable to the in
fluence of yellow journalism. In time
of profound peace and quiet this pest
of newspaper making was so busy with
schemes for arousing contented and pros
porous people against the government
that the echo Of the murderer's shot
had not died away before the accusing
finger pointed to the sensational press as
tie real culprit and the root of the evil
OF which the assassin was a poisonous
branch.
This pernicious influence, SO formidable
for evil in period of general prosperity
and contentment, can, if unrestrained.
work untold mischief in times when real
or imaginary wrongs afford basis for
its fulmirations. This form of journals
ism is a stumbling block in the way Of
those who work for real and permanent
reforms. Its influence is equally HARM
full to those whose cause it champions
and the forces arrayed against it, its
present pretensions of lamb-like docil-
ity and repentance are the essence of
hypocricy. and the evil has become
doubly dangerous while using the habili-
ments of mourning to disguise its real
character.
For the we'll being of all concerned it
is advisable to place a check upon the
yellow press. None know the need OF
this safeguard more than the sincere
workers for reform who have been made
odious to law-abding people by having
their views misrepresented and their ex-
p.essons misquoted to make sensational
reading for the patrons Of yellow publ

DANGEROUS DlPllCIN.

During the time that has elapsed since
the assassination of President Mckinley,
four weeks ago, there have been numer-
Gus declarations of hostility to anarchy
from unexpected sources. Politicians
who trimmed the sails of their election
eering craft to suit the changes Of the
wind have come about with a sharp turn,
and have been steadfast and outspoken
In the declaration that anarchy must be
wiped out and the menace to free insti-
tutions removed forever. Just how much
of this outward show of opposition to the
influences that have worked for the over
throw Of law and order is sincere is hard
to tell. Manifestly the trimmer in times
of political strife would in the present
instance be ready to echo the general
condemnation of anarchy and eager to
voice sentiments known to be popular
with the majority of law abiding citi-
zens. There is still a lurking suspicion
In many quarters that the noisy lamen-
tations of the yellow journals and the
clique these pernicious sheets represent
are almost If not quite as open to sus-
picion as the course they pursued before
the shock Of the pistol shot at Buffalo
startled the entire world.
The danger that arises from misplaced
confidence in the expressions of the yell
low journals is not small. Fancied Sc
curity on the part of nations and individ-
uals has given rise to notable incidents
that point a moral the people Of this
country will do we'll to heed in the pres
en-; situation. Wolves in sleeps cloth
ing are no more cunning and unscrupu-
lous than the incendiary sheets that
blow hot and cold in a breath and in
wade and disturb every article of do
nestle and official life in search Of the
sensations, which give their publication
an excuse for existence. There is no
means of telling just how far the appar-
ent sincerity of the yellow press ex-
tends. Judging from past experience
which is the only valuable guide, the
expressions of contrition on the part Of
and as little to be trusted as their
trumped-up sensations, which have been

permitted to be disco.ored by this saffron
