INDEPENDENTS NEEDED.

Campaigns come and campaigns
go and the same old thing continues
to happen-the politician uses m
the best part OF the newspapers in
advertising himself or his leader be
fore the public and the only pay re-
ceived by the poornewspaper publish
ers is first class "cussin" when the
politician is not satifed with the ar
ticles.
The natural tendency of the news
paper Is toward printing too much
about politics. We realize the fail
ing of the Newspaper writer's IN this r.
spect. We doubt if the public is a.
much interested in political matters
as would appear from a perusal of
the newspapers. Politics furnishes
field OF constant controversy. and
Tor that reason it is kept prominent
in the public discussions. Men :
opinions on these questions are Us
ually quite well defined, and frequent
~ very extreme. SO the newspaper Is
expected to fan the flame of their
partisan preiudices and keep it white
hot. 1t takes much less effort for
the ordinary editorial writer to
discuss political matters than to
write on other questions. especially
II they are abstract. So the news
paper follows the line of the least re-
sistance. But wouldn't the news
paper be- a more potent influence if il
devoted greater attention TO bust
ness and Industrial matters. toeduca-
ton, TO culture and literature. to mo-
rality and the home? The readers of
the newspaper editorial page would.
we believe, be larger in number and
it would command more influence
ii it were not SO largely political. and
if what politics it discussed was treat
ed in a more thoughtful and conser-
vative manner.
True some newspapers areabsolute-
~ dependent for existence upon
their tanning partisan preiudices.
The whole thing in nutshell is the
average newspaper Is afraid OF the
politician when the opposite should
be the case.
As remedy for the flooding of /
newspapers with the waste of poll
ties, let the publisher charge SO /
much per line for the publication Of
political rot and they Will soon see a /
marked change in the conditions
