perverted the fact; and 1t was low and
scurrilous past all the blackguardly
personalities of the actual enterprises.
If the student of this phase of our civ
Aization would see a true image of the
average Journalism of the past, he may
see 1T in some of the wretcheder of our
country newspapers, which not even
the advantage of appearing once

In fact, we doubt if there is any such
virtue inherent in hebdomadal publ
cation as the writer of that magazine
article seems to suggest. There is the
same temptation for the counting room
to commercialize the weekly as the
daily press, but perhaps there is
grace in the larger leisure of the reader
which helps out the moral impulses Of
the editor. The editor himself shares
this larger leisure. He has more time
to think over what he is about to say.

probably speak the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth,
oftener than the daily press, not from a
superior worth in its editors or propri-
etors, who are of the same fallible make
as the editors and proprietors of the
daily press, but from. the sense of con-
ditions favorable to the expression of
the eternal, and even the temporal We
racities. The sense of such conditions
has here inspired reflections upon the
matter which may affect some readers
as .superfiuous, or perhaps cynical, but
we feel it entirely safe to make them,
and we think the mental and moral at
mosphere will be the clearer for them.
Naturally we should like to allow all
that the writer of the magazine article
claims for us, as the effect of an inher-
ent virtue, but the very exercise of the
virtue predicated of the weekly press
forbids this. In other words, we can
not help telling the truth; but it is to

with better facilities of transportation,
with quicker facilities of interchanging
our views and thoughts, with a period
reaching to us when the whole world
is bound together in a solidity of in
terests and where the financial and
commercial interests Of the United
States are in accord with the require
ments of England and Germany, and
all the great European and Asiatic
countries. Let us not be carried away
by the thought that in the past there
were failures, for in the past there
were great successes in a note assets
secured currency. Where is there a
better bank than the Bank of Louis
lana? Where a better bank than the
great institution founded by the first
and greatest of all comptroliers, Hugh
McCulloch, in the state Of Indiana?
Where a better bank than the Bank Of
Ohio, issuing it's notes? And where in
this commonwealth of Missouri was a
bank any better, whose notes were any
better and more promptly redeemed,
than the notes of the Bank Of Missouri.
Issued against assets, as against notes
issued against the bond deposited cir
culation? The traditionist has no place
in this country of ours except as tradi-
tons make for advance things and
do not retard. The pessimist has no
place in this great country Of ours, for
he has never builded anything nor adj
vanced any great interest. The pessi-
mist has torn down and worn out and
made people fretful, and has causes
distress. But the optimist, looking to
the past only for an inspiration to 60
forward to better things and more ad-
vanced ideas, has built this country
until from the Atlantic to the Pacific
it is a source of recurring wealth and
a mine of continuing happiness to the
people, a country great in its past his
tory, splendid in its present attain
ments, and whose future will make
these people still more glorious and
their government still more great.

our profit as well as our pleasure and
we merit no praise for it, Rather the
praise for truth is due to those few
daily papers which habitually speak it,
and with which again we leave each of
our many contemporaries free to iden-
tify itself. The conditions which favor
us are all averse to them, and If they
are not quantitatively equal to the Just
men who might have saved Gomorrah
neither are the weekly periodicals
qualitatively beyond those men.
Both the daily and the weekly press
fairly represent the moral frame of our
people, who like to think for them
selves when it is quite safe but would
rather not when it interferes with bus
mess. We all live under a competitive
system, in which no man is a hero or
martyr to himself alone, and the daily
newspaper is. in an i'll sense, no more
an industry now than 1t ever was; the
scale has changed, that is all.

important. Therefore keep up the mil
itary drills; there is a future to that,

will also fit young men for useful voca-

the fundamental principles of educa-
ton, or in any sense prepared for the
nobler duties and positions of a life

weapons, so provocative of bloody en-
counters, is again upon the increase.
Apprehension has not been confined
to the question of personal safety alone
for property is unsafe Business holis-
es have increased their corps of watch

Swallowed by detectives wherever they
go.
All this means a tremendous private
expenditure for the purpose of securing
that protection which our citizens are
entitled to expect and to receive at the
hands of the8police. If the police are
unable to furnish such protection, then
we may we'll question the use of longer
maintaining the present system at such
an expense.

you have note which meets the needs

1t is alleged that there can be with

the people be afraid of such a note IL

a note be an unsafe note because of the
fact that the government does not hold
