NEWSPAPERs IS EDUc4ToRs

Notwithstanding the millions that are
spent yearly for the support of our COM
mon and high schools, Notwithstanding
the gifts of further millions to univer-
sites, colleges, academies, museums and
galleries of art, the greatest educational
factor in the civilized world today is run
without endowment without the aid of
charity, on the strict lines of business
proposition. With all due respect for the
work of the educational systems as such,
the mass of the world is being educated
by the press. While the schools, colleges
and universities force the mind for a
specified term along certain lines Of men
tai discipline and fact gathering, the
daily, weekly and monthly press keep
the whole population in a constant but
ever changing intellectual atmosphere.
The history Of the world is fed to the
children with their morning meal-they
hear it discussed as they go to bed.
They absorb the knowledge of historic
relations with modern events from the
very air. Every scientific discovery is
heralded to the world, almost before it
is known to the discoverer. Before he
is ready to formulate his views on the
influence of his invention or his dis
covery, (. hundred minds have grasped its
import and analyzed its relations to So
ciety. and the whole has been given to
The events of the world, complicated

pIomacy, literature, history, all that

The daily news may come crude from
the hot hopper of hurrying events. There
is much chaf-but the plump grain is

Calhoun, the Champion of state


Calhoun, the Champion of state
Sovereignty
There are certain questions in Ameri-
can history that have been sources of
controversy from the beginning of our ex-
istence as an independent nation These
questions have held such an important
place in our national thought and life
because they are fundamental They
touch the constitution itself and we're
not only matters of discussion and COM
promise in the framing of that great in
strument but have furnished a basis OF
disagreement and contest in the inter-
probation of it, some of them down to
the present day. One of the most impor-
tant of these questions is that touching
the relations of the general government
to the individual states.
When the convention met in Phila-
delphia in IT'S and began the work of for
mulatlng a constitution it was at once
discovered that there was a marked diff
terence of opinion as to how strong and
extensive that government should be-
The states were jealous of their indie
pendence, and fearful that the establish
ment OF any government with real power
to enforce its will might result in de-
priving the states of that cherished lib
erty for which they had fought SO long
ana SdcIIHCeQ so mucn. rms was par
ticularly true of the small states So
strong was this feeling that some dele
gates favored giving to the general gov
eminent only the power to regulate COM
merce and raise revenue. This would
have left in force the old articles of con-
federation, modified only in these two
particulars. Thus the smaller and larger
states would have been equal in power
and the general government would have
had practically no authority over the
states as such But it was felt that this
arrangement would not remedy the evils
that all acknowledged to exist. After
long discussion the question was COM
promised, the smaller states agreeing to
accept a representation proportionate to
population in the lower of the two houses
of congress, provided an equal voice were
given in the upper house.
The great champion of state sover-
eighty during the second quarter of the
nineteenth century was John Caldwen
Calhoun. Born in 1882 in South Carolina,

ed articles on special subjects of human
interest. The whole realm of knowledge
is covered and the very best finds its
way to the press The editors of news
papers and magazines are always looking
for ideas for which they are willing 20
pay well.
During the last half century the press
has evolved from a molder of political
and social opinion to a universal educa-
tor. 1t has not lost the ground it once
occupied, but has gathered into it's cir

jects,

the learned professions with certain dis
tinct social prerogatives. Not so now
The trader. the mechanic, the farmer
carry their own mental torches. They
know the world and what is doing as
well as the one-time leaders of thought
they draw their information from the
same fountain-the public press
Why should philanthropic men endow
colleges and build libraries, which in the
very nature Of things must be confined
to a narrow circle of usefulness? Why
lot endow great daily newspapers
The criticism is made that the press
is run as a business and therefore it's
influence is not always for the best in
terests of society. Then why should not
some millionaire come forward with an
endowment for newspaper which shall
be free from the petty influence of money
making-a paper devoted to the seeking
and spreading of knowledge paper
which will and CAM publish the
truth always for truths sake?
The influence of such a newspaper would
be world wide and the good it would
Go cannot be estimated. The sphere of
influence of a great university would
look poor and sickIy before that of such
an institution. The endowed newspaper
might become the great educational as
well as reforming force of the future.

sailors on the alleged charge that they
were deserters from English ships Pro-
tests had been of no avail. and the corr
tinuance of these practices had become
humillating and unbearable
When Calhoun entered congress he
found there other young men of his par

join with him in leading the country into

these aggressions. Among these was

In the early part of mis- congressional

was never surpassed for the strength

most famous productions of the most

through the various reports recently is
sued. In all these particulars the Pan
anna route is superior. The one great
question is, will two canals pay?"' 1t
is a serious question, whether for the first
twenty years after it's completion a ship
canal across the isthmus will pay oper-
ating expenses. The lowering of freight
rates across the continent by the trans
continental lines will continue with the
settlement of the country and the in
creased efficiency of the service. the low
ering Of grades and the gradual elimina-
ton of the dead weight of operation
If the United States government insists
on building the Nicaragua canal there
will be two canals to be supported in
stead of one. For it must be remember
ed that the Panama canal is two-fifths
completed, and with the United States in
full control of the Nicaragua route, cap
ital will be furnished by the commercial
nations of Europe, to finish the Panama
property. Such an opportunity to strike
a blow at the commercial and military
prospects of the United States will not
be allowed to pass.
If we, the American people, want a
canal ali our own, one that we can close
up in times of war if we see fit, then let
the work on the Nicaragua canal go on
with all speed, but it will be a white
elephant that Uncle Sam will want to
shoot before it is ten years old.
If the report that the Panama Canal
company is willing to sell to the United
States for $40, 900 be true, there should
be. no delay in accepting the offer pro
viding the Colombian government will
modify the franchise granted to the pres
ent owners to meet the concession of the
Nicaraguan government in regard to the
northern route. This, it is understood,
the Colombian government is ready and
willing to do.
In settling this matter all sentiment,
if there be such a thing involved in the
contest between the routes, should be laid
aside and the question settled on the hard
basis of common sense. The United
States is not interested in developing
transportation competition for the bene-
fit of the world.
