THE WORLDS r1lGHTiEST FORCE.
By the Rev. Howard Duffleld.

By the Rev. Howard Duffleld.
The newspaper is the colossal force
of the modern world. Mechanically
the newspaper lays ali other depart
ments OF invention and discovery
under tribute. susidizing the railway,
the steamship and the electric wire.
Intellectually the newspaper sweeps
the horizon of events and scans the
encyclopedia Of ideas. The tinsel OF
fashion, the shadow OF death, the
pomp of courts, the filth of slums,
the grandeur of heroic achievement,
the miasma of scandal, the austerity
OF the law, the brutality Of vice, the
triumph OF science, the pulse of the
money market, the glow OF eloquence,
the chimes of poetry. the vulgar i'm
pertinence of gossip. overlap in its
columns.
Personally the newspaper colors
the thought and molds the character
of amounted multitudes. 1t inter
views personally, and every day, all
who dwell within the boundaries OF
civilization. from capitalist to gamin,
outlining conversation. enlarging vo-
cabulary. creating prejudice. kindly
sympathies. at times ennobling' at
times poisoning nobility. at all times
enveloping the reader with the at
mosphere through which he sees his
world.
Ethically the newspaper is creed
less, not immoral, but immoral. 1t
is business enterprise pure and
simple, sweeping the planet for infor-
nation that is marketable and advo-
eating those principles which are
backed by a constituency able to ex-
press itself in dollars and cents.
Ideally the newspaper should be
the lever for the uplifting Of the
| world. 1t should dedicate its vast
| power to the dissemination of all that
makes men patriotic, honest, kindly,
devout. Its peculiar access to the
| public heart should issue in the in
MIGRATING, the purifying and the
spiritualizing of the public life.

McClure's rlagaZine for August.

The August Nc Clure's might almost
be advertised as 1.-the book of the
month" Though it is a typical mid
summer fiction cumberland a tip
top one, too-it manages to find place
for a number of striking articles that
will perhaps be even more eagerly
read than the stories Professor An
gelo Heilprin, who, it will be remem-
bered, was the first man to get to the
top of Mount Pelee after the erup-
ton, tells the detailed story of his ex-
plorations. Professor Heilprin is one
of the foremost geologists in the
country. His narrative will be of
the most absorbing interest both to
general readers and TO scientists, and
his conclusions concerning the real
nature Of the eruptions will probably
be more fully zorro borated by the de-
tailed investigations of the French
scientific commission now on the
spot than those Of any other early
explorer.
AS illuminating as it is brief is
Lincoln SteffenS' sketch of John
Mitchell: "A Labor Leader of Today. ;"
Not in any sense discussion of the
| merits of the strike. but a true and
vivid characterization of man, it is
possibly the most significant article
pertaining to the labor question writ
ten since the outbreak of the strike.
Two papers of absolutely unique
persona! experiences are Santos-Du-
mont's first article on How Became
| an Aeronau," and Mrs. Tsilka's story
OF the birth of her baby while the
mother, with Miss Ellen M. Stone,
was in captivity among the brigands.
NJ. Santos-Dumont is the only living
navigator of dirigible balloon, and
Mrs. Tsilka's experience is the most
remarkable that any woman has
lived through since the seige of the
legations of Pekin.

BORO THE IDEAL CONVEN.
TON CITY.
Greenville Reflector.

1t is no wonder that Greensboro
just captured all the delegates in at
tendance upon the State convention
there last week. In all their years Of
attending conventions elsewhere they
had never been so handsomely enter
tanned. The average man does not
mind paying for personal comforts
when he can get them, but when he
has to put up with any kind of ac-
commodation, and pay high prices
for it, he has a right to kick. How
ever, no such condition as that pre-
vailed at Greensboro. Hotel accom-
modations We're ample, and in addi-
ton to this the citizens were active in
doing everything necessary to make
the stay of the delegates pleasant and
comfortable

NEGROES LOADED WITH FIRE
ARMS.
Washington Gaz cite.

w ooHiIStou NdLcttt
The tax list of the town of Wash
ington and township shows re-
markable state of affairs in one par
ticular, as far as the colored race is
concerned. In comparison of the
total valuation of fire arms given in
for taxation with farming imple-
ments. shows about the ratio to
each other in favor of firearms as ten
dollars is to four. In other words,
the sum total of the books shows
that while the negroes have invested
ten dollars of their hard earnings in
firearms, they have only invested
four dollars in farming implements.
1t was nothing unusual for negro to
admit that he was the owner of from
two to five pistols. There is food for
thought in the above statement, and
it shows the still further necessity of
the law against carrying concealed
weapons.

ONCE MORE
A. & B. Was Turned
Down by Council.
Seems Unwilling to Take the
Company Seriously.

Council seems unwilling to take the
Akron g. Barberton Belt Line people
seriously in their talk that they mean
to build q railroad. AS time goes by
the votes in favor Of granting fran
chise to this company seem to be grow
ing fewer and fewer. The application
was voted on once more Monday night
and the only vote in favor of granting
it was that of Mr.. Sawyer. More than
six months have passed since the ap-
plication was presented, while that Of
the Akron Belt Line Railway Co., Mr..
Frenchs scheme, was passed the first
night it was presented.
The difficulty is that the lines Of both
companies so nearly parallel each other
that Council believes there is no need
for the building of both lines. Besides
If both were constructed according to
the present surveys, each would cross
the other about 16 times. However
the A. & B. people are patient, and will
likely bring the matter up again.
There is also disposition on the
part of Council to believe that since the
A. & B. was sold to the trunk lines
there is not as great show for its
being built, especially If 1t is made
clear that the vanderbilts are actually
behind Mr.. French and his schemes.

Lime Light.
Two Hundred Applicants
For Places
Before the Footlishts In the
Lovers Lane" Show.

There were ominous scenes about the
stage entrance at the Colonial theatre
on High ct. about 4 o'clock Monday
afternoon. A crowd of 200 yelling,
crowding youngsters were congregated
there eager to "get on" with Lovers
Lane and shine before the footlights
in the evening. The big man in the
eyes Of the youngsters was Stage Man
ager Leopold Lane.
But of the two hundred embryo ac.
tors and actresses less than a score
were chosen. The others were sent away
light. hearted, with the promise that
when the show returned again they
would be given chance to appear in
the lime light.
"The brightest and most apt lot Of
children we ever had" was the remark
of Mr.. Lane Monday afternoon after
the youngsters had been given a re-
hearsal. That he was merely stating
facts will not be doubted by any who
saw the performance In the evening.
The grace and ease of the local young.
sters was surprising. They had none
of the awkwardness which often dis
tinguishes amateurs from profession
