POOLING A NEWSPAPER.

The Richmond Times Dispatch has this to say on a subject of interest to all newspapers:
 There is a bill before the Legislature making 1t d miSdemednor for person wiltully and knowingly to furnish false information to newspaper. We hope the bill will become d law. Newspapers are often imposed upon in this way, and they and the public should have the pro- lection of law It is impossible to verify every item of news which a reporter picks up and sometimes through malice or through silly desire to perpetrate practical joke innocent persons are made to suffer great annoyance. Yester- day The Iimes-Dispatch published in its society column announcement of the en- gagement of well known Richmond couple. The item was handed in at the counting room, and as the person leaving 1t preteuded to sign his name the item was received and published in good faith But 1t was a silly hoax, and the lady and gentleman concerned were much embar- raSsed and mortified.
 The joke" that was played on our contemporary is one from which no news paper Is entirely safe, especially q daily which cannot find time to investigate ev- cry item or report that may be handed in. However careful reporter may be. ne stanuS q chance To be the victim of practical joke, and sometimes the result is not at all funny. If the parties men toned in the above extract should sue the paper for publishing false statement, the editor might successfully plead that the information was accepted and used in good faith.
 But while such a plea might save the paper from the payment of q fine or dam age money, 1t would not save 1t from inc worry and costs of a vexauous law suit, And we agree with The Times-Dis- patch that there should be a law to pun ish a person for wilfully misleading a newspaper. Some people seem to think it an evidence of smartness to do the editor" but there Is another and better term for such tricks and that is ''vil- lainy." As in the case mentioned by our contemporary. a false announcement of marriage is not only mortifying to sensitive woman, but it might be highly injurious, and a person guilty of making it should find the outcome both unpleas- ant and expensive.

ernment has, in great many ways con quered the Indian, and by some hook or crook, right or wrong, made him dance to the music of Congress, but let us say right here, if the government undertakes to make the Indian work his forty acres. 1t will have its hands full.
 This is not very complimentary to the Creeks. but If Gipson doesn't understand them, he ought to, for he is among them and of them. And as to that, his charac- terization of them is In accord with what has been written of the Creek Indians by all who have come in contact with them. They have and always had many good qualities. but work was not one of them. As a general thing they have always pre- ferred death to slavery which forced them to a life of toll, and we doubt if they like hard work any better now than they did in the past.

AT IT AGAIN.

It was bound to come, and we have been expecting it for some months. We just knew the Virginia and Carolina edi- tors could not avoid springing some fool graft on us-begging their pardon for using plain English. They threshed out the subject of Gains wife. and the wab ble of the rabbits nose. and several oth- CT like questions, and now The Norfolk Landmark drops this bait, and dares us to bite:
 Why does not horse move all it's feet at the same rate of speed? Why does 1t gallop sometimes with its forefeet while it is trotting with It's hindfeet?
 We might deny that anything of the kind occurs and thus knock both predi- cate and postulate into a cooked hat. but The Landmark would say we were lodging the argument, which we never do. We may sometimes refuse to rise to the bait and may even back square out of a tight place, but we never dodge. not even when, as in the case at bar, the defy comes to us indirectly. for the case did not originate with our amiable and sharp contemporary. A correspondent thought he saw horse running in front and trotting in the rear. and asks The Landmark why this thusness? Of course the editor couldn't answer such a conun- drum and passed it up to those he con- sidered better informed.
 Now. to begin with. we do not believe the correspondents eyes served him faith fully. He thought he discovered that the animals front feet were making more steps to the minute than its hind feet did, and If that were true, 1t stands to reason that the forward half of the animal would run off and leave the other, wouldn't it? It doesn't do so in practice-not that we have ever observed; consequently the the ory is all wabbly. for we know that with two objects moving at different speeds one must fall behind and keep losing dis tance till 1t would be lost. That's good logic, at any ra@
 We suspect that this correspondents eyes were having fun with him, and that he didn't see what he thought As a iioi iSe A'oh' le6s oehu one way ana ms hind legs bend another, and as a man or normal vision can't look at all the legs at once with sufficient care to compare their movements, we conclude that this observer only imagined that two of the legs were out-travelling the other two. Then he fired the query at The Land mark with the expectation of catching gudgeon-and succeeded!

CHARGES AGAINST woRrMAN
Ensign VII Be Tried for Culpable
 Ineficiency.

Washington. March 2.-Five specified tions are contained in the general charge of 'culpable inefflcency in the perform ance of duty" preferred against Ensign Ward K. Wortman. who Is to be tried by court martial at Pensacola, Fla. next week for alleged responsibility for the accident on the Massachusetts two weeks ago. in which nine men were killed by the explosion of an eight-lnch gun.
 Briefly, 1t Is charged that the ensign ordered the breech of the gun to be opened for the purpose of returning to electrical fire while the lock remained cocked that he failed to exercise due precaution in returning to electrical fir Ing; that he was guilty of negligence in failing to cause the bolt of the gun to be eased down before ordering the breech opened; that he was guilty of 'culpahe negligence" in allowing the target practice
 to be conducted while the lanyards used in firing the guns by percussion were led out and hooked to the triggers of the combination locks. and finally that he ordered the breech of the right eight inch gun to be opened without assuring himself that the breech of the left gun was closed.

AN INDEFENsIBLE OMISSION. The Selma Times says:

The I,eeislature has been reckless in a good many things where money was 10 be appropriated. Salaries were raised, In some instances whefe there was no ne cessIty for 1t, but in some things that body has been niggardly. For instance, the bill appropriating a small sum to the Faikner Confederate Soldiers Home was allowed to die on the calendar we do not understand why this was done. If there is one subject that appeals more tenderly to the heart of the people of Alabama than any other. 1t is the old Confederate soldiers, who from wounds, sickness or misfortune are unable to care for themselves in the declining years of their lives. We hope the Legislature will take the bill from the calendar and pass 1t when that body reconvenes in Septem- Der. The people will be willing to be taxed to help support the tattered rem nant of the finest army the world ever produced.
 The Advertiser could express its senti- ments on this subject in language more emphatic than would be pleasant to those who are to blame for the failure to pass that bill. There is no defence for that failure The Legislature made appropria- tions and increased expenses without knowing where the money is to come from. It increased some salaries which the body would find hard to justify. It spent or appropriated money right and left, some of which would much better be left in the treasury, but a small ap- propriation for helpless Confederate vet erans was not considered worthy of at tention.
 This home was founded and has been kept up by the generosity of the people of Alabama. Even the little children have contributed their mites to the good work of keeping these needy veterans in comfort during the short period they will remain with us. People will not continue to contribute when the State refuses to do plain duty and ignores those who should be considered a sacred trust and for whom it should have been both pleasure and an honor to make an appro- priation.
 The veterans of Alabama will remem- Der those who failed to remember their needy comrades.

RAILROADS AND ACCIDENTS.

The York (Pa.) Dispatch quotes from "a newspaper more renowned for its sensa- tionalism than its facts' the following paragraph:
 The railroad companies in the United States are utterly indifferent to the fact that they are run in a murderous fashion. They care absolutely nothing about the number of people they maim and kill.
 As The Dispatch says. this is rot. pure and simple" but nevertheless and not withstanding, there are many who hold that opinion, and 1t Is not unusual to find 1t expressed in newspapers. There are many who believe. or affect to believe, that railroad company will as lief kill human being as a snake, and that no more care is taken to avoid one than the other.
 Of course such a belief is absurd. Ieav ing out all considerations of humanity and looking only at the sordid aspect of the case. the railroad companies are anxious to avoid accidents. Damage suits are both vexatious and expensive, and one will often cost more than 1t SNSS adopt and maintain the most expensive system of accident prevention. Taking life, whether 1t be animal or human. is costly business for railroads, and to say that the companies care nothing for 1t Is absurd.
 It is doubtless true that the great speed and close schedules used In modern rail roading is responsible for some of the accidents. but how is 1t to be avoided7 If any great line should limit the speed of its trains to twenty-five miles an hour, and arrange its schedules so that 1t could take practically unlimited time in arriv- ing and departing, there might be fewer accidents, but how long would such a road remain in business? Just as long as it would require some company to build one up to modern requirements, and no longer. Railroads may not be altogether faultess. but they don't kill people as a pastime.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under its notice, and one of these signs is the mystic symbol denoting .'golden." which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this pap-r more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers credited with a single gym bol but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority, which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL { " to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 0vl and is the oaly paper so distinguished in this section Of thr South.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-03

Just why any Congressman should think of wanting to join Arizona and New Mexico into one State is mystery. It would form a State something over 400 by 700 miles in size, and would be almost as large as Texas. There Is no necessity for any more empires under the names of States, and if either of the territories has not sufficient population to entitle 1t to admission let it remain out and get its growth And the other suggestion that Oklahoma be admitted and aned Monte zuma is a still greater absurdity. Okla homa is thoroughly appropriate, while the other is not.

 Hit 'em again! The fellow who searched through bushel of wheat in order to find one faulty grain isn't in 1t with the man who spends all his time trying to find some fault with his town. That is the kind of citizenship to drag down in stead of building up. And yet. in a ma jority of cases this same citizen would kick like a steer if his local newspaper touched him up a little on some of his own shortcomings

Only One Thing to Do.
Birmingham News.

Birmingham NeWs.
 Only one thing remains for the con- ventlon to do if 1t hopes to take busi- ness-like and commendable stand before the intelligent people of the country, and that Is to repudate the doctrines and policies of Bryan. That two wrongs never made a right was clearly demonstrated In 1896 and In 1900 Certainly, then, three wrongs will not help the case. Experi- ence Is a good teacher, and experience has proven that Bryan's position was neither practical nor right. A complete shift from that position back to the real Democratic principles is not only req sonable, but absolutely necessary If the party expects to remain as a practical working organization.

His Supposed Relations With Prin-
 cess Louise the Cause.

Dresden, March 2.-L. A. O'Brien, an American dentist, has been ordered to leave the kingdom on account of his sup posed relations with the former Crown Princess Louise. He will leave Dresden Wednesday and will sail with his wife and four children for America on Thurs day. The police at first ordered him to leave Saxony within twenty-four hours, but the court extended the time so as to permit O'Brien to settle his affairs.
 The Saxony Government has notified the other Governments of MT. O'Brien's expulsion, making 1t. under royal cour- tesies, impossible for him to reside in Germany or Austria.
