WHAT SHALL WE PRINT?

That is the question which con-
fronts the publisher Of every news
paper. Its answer depends upon
the individual who is editor and pub
Usher of each paper. For it is the
man behind the pen as we'll as the
man behind the gun who is the
potential factor in the problem of
successful results. And so it comes
to pass that there are widely differ.
ent views as to what constitutes the
proper province of newspaper.
Some men insist on printing all the
news, others on printing great deal
that isn't news, and Others adopt
the motto "Print all the news that's
fit to print" So there are all shades
of newspaper work from the rankest
yellow to the purest white. 1t is
much easier to tell what to print
than it is to carry out such ideas in
practice.
But it is a pleasure to quote from
one of our nearest neighbors some
expressions regarding newspaper
work which commands our admira-
ton and, which show, that contrary
to prevalent opinion no one has
higher ideals of the dignity and
mission of the newspaper than the
men who are in the business. In
an address before the National Edi-
torial Association, Editor Henry, of
the Clarion. Ledger, Jackson, Miss,
said in reply to the question which
serves as caption for the article:
sprint all the news fit to be print
ed; print the truth, without fear,
favor or affections; print pure, clean
aaa wholesome matter; print fresh
ideas, progressive thoughts and re.
liable information; print the opin.
ions of the editor fearlessly express.
ed. Print nothing false, loud or
immodest; print nothing mean, low
or slanderous; print nothing vile,
malicious or blasphemous; print
nothing for which you are not will
ing to become responsible; print
nothing personally offensive, as paid
matter or otherwise; print nothing
that you would be ashamed to read
at your own Preside; Iprint what you
believe to be right, regardless of
consequences; print nothing you
know to be wrong under any cir
cumstances. ......
/ Surely that is great platform to
lay down, and one that does honor
to the best thought Of the profession.
Happily the better weekly papers
OF the country are conducted on the
lines Mr.. Henry exalts.

PASSES
SECOND READING.
Nashville & Columbia Electric Rail-
way Franchise Will Be
Granted
By Nashville City Council, and
Smaller Towns Will Welcome
Promoters.

Large bodies move slowly and i'm.
portant measures take time for dis
cussion and passage. The Nashville
CITY Council has been at work for the
past two months on the twin measures,
the Nashville & Gallatin and the Nash
Vile & Columbia Electric railway
franchises and these ordinances were
passed on their second reading Thurs
day night by vote of IL to 1. The
promoters of these enterprises will
meet with little difficulty in gaining
franchises and right of way from the
counties and smaller towns through
which they will have to pass, and will
doubtless meet with every encourage
ment.
In the Nashville City Council. the
differences which existed between the
Tennessee Central Railway, and the
promoters of the electric railways were
harmonized by an amendment prrovld,-
ing that the electric railroads should
enter into a contract to insure the
Tennessee Central that there was no
possibility of the Louisville q Nash
VILE and the Nashville, Chattanooga q
st. Louis Railroads entering into the
wards of the Nashville Terminal Com
pany on the tracks of the electric rail-
WAYS. The execution of this contract
was made prerequisite to the passage
of the ordinance granting the iran
chise to the two railroads.
Strong Protests.
The Nashville e. Gallatin road was
not fought, and passed smoothly, but
when the Nashville Columbia measure
was reached number of protests were
made against the route OF the road
through South Nashville The most
earnest protest was made by Charles
Ridley. along the back of whose prop
erty the proposed route was to be
made, cutting oft seven and one-halt
feet of the lot. He urged that the
track be run through the boulevard,
or on the opposite side of the road on
the other property, or anywhere except
through his little piece of ground. He
said that it was all he had and that II
il were cut he would be ruined. lie
nleaded that as he was tOwnsman
and one of the Oldest inhabitants, he
should be shown the preference over
the Eastern capitalists who were
promoting railways.
Frank P. Bond, attorney for the
electric railways, answered Mr.. Rid
lev. He said that he and the people
whom he represented aid not want t6
rob any one, and did not intend get
ting anything that was not, amply
paid for, both in actual value ana
the damage done the balance OF the
property. His speech was running
over with wit and sarcasm, detailing
the many objections which MT. KID
ley had urged all along against the
route through South Nashville
The measure finally passed it's secont
reading by a vote of 10 to l., Council
man Cameron voting against it after
having offered several amendments
most of which were tabled.

Quite an interesting discussion was
nrecipitated in the Circuit Court Friday
morning, when the cases of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen of Columbia
against Bailey Peyton, Leonard Ad-
cock, Otey Dockery and Ben Lipscomb
were called.
These men, it will be remembered,
were tried and convicted nearly year

violating the Sunday law, and the
cases were appealed to the Circuit
Court.
When the cases were called this

Jas. A. Smiser, Esq, who was en-
