ment SIS of 1904, is reasonable and
Just and that although the current

The people of the Western counties

to be OF more interest to them than
anything else in the political line. /
found during the course of a recent
visit that Senator Pritchard nOt>Only
has no opposition in his own party,
but many Democrats Especially among
cotton mill men and other manufac-
turers and leaders in industrial in
vestments and the like speak kindly
OF him-sOme of them going to far as
to say openly that the Estate would
lose nothing and might be a gamer
by his reelection"
This sort of talk sounded little
strange at first, but before returning
home l grew more accustomed to it,
for really heard a good deal of it.
Certainly the Republican party has
had no leader since the day of it's in
ception in this State who, apparently,
stands SO we'll in the estimation of
the business world of North Carolina.
But the Democratic politicians, while
granting this, say he cannot possibly
be re-elected-and give several rea-
SONS for that view
From all / can learn Locke Craig

cratic candidate for the Senatorship,

nomination.
The ''authOrized" announcement
made by the Charlotte Observer a
day or two ago that Judge Hoke is

Senatorship adds considerable to the
uncertainties attaching to the prob
able result of it all. | do not know
what they are basing their claim

generally men of prominence in the
business and industrial life of the
State, who will tell you that they
''would not be surprised" to see Sena-

qualify the statement by saying they

THE GOOD NEWSPAPER.
Some of the Essential Rules Which
Should Govern Publicity.

Some of the Essential Rules Which
Should Govern Publicity.
The good newspaper, says the Sioux
City Qowa) Journal, will undertake
to give it's readers news, as reliable
rs can be, and intelligent comment
thereon. The good newspaper will
report sensations, but it will not busy
itself with making them.
The good newspaper will not pre-
sumo upon the intelligence of its
readers, and it's constant aim will be
to address itself to people with the
best information and possessed Of
the best Judgment, rather than to
people incapable of discriminating
for themselves and for the time easily
misled.
People of the best information and
possessed of the best judgment are
the people who set the standards and
who in any long reach govern opinion.
They are the creators and the support
of public opinion, and the good news
paper will address itself TO them
ceasslessly.
The good newspaper will make mis-
takes, and many of them, for it is not
easy on the instant to dig into tho
facts, and it has much intentional
misrepresentation in the sources Of
news to deal with. The news stock
Of day is gathered as by dragnet
from the whole face of the earth ty a
great army of workers.
Tho world ia fnlI nf hmm, lnC
treachery, schsming, fraud. The use
OF the newspaper as an auxiliary force
is constantly sought. The wonder is
not that newspapers are so bad; the
wonder is that they are as good as
they are.
The credit belongs to the dominant
management Of newspapers and to the
army of newspaper workers through
out the world.
