Cardinal Setolli had taken any steps to-

Kansas City Journal.
These schools of journalism have an eye
to the editorial rather tea 1ara to the
profession and give 1t more dignity and
character. But dignity and character are
not qualities which can be manufactured
to order by a course Of study. We may
fear with a recent writer. on the subject
that the editors who are to reclaim and
dignity American Journalism and save 1t
from the noisy and ignorant and immoral
methods which make the newspapers too
often thing of terror, must be born, not
made. That which stands behind good
ton or fine intellectual training, though
an editor without some learning must De
q sorry figure indeed.
The way to dignity Journalism generally
is to educate the masses, not the editors.
So long as there Is public appetite Tor SEN
sations, morbid pictures. gross exaggera-
tions or downright lies there will be edit
ors and newspapers to cater TO IL. The jour-
nalist who is deeply impressed with the re-
sponsibiity of his calling and who Is guided
by upright motives must often suffer the

Kansas University, like most other univer-
stiles, has turned out more than few
graduates who are less skillful in English
composition than high school pupils ought
TO be. This shows deficiency in college
methods which ought to be corrected on
general principles and not with Journalism
solely In view. And ii suggests that the
editors OF the country might do the coun-
try a service by reciprocating the favor Of
that school of journalism with depart

LONDON, Nov. H.-Joseph Chamberlain
spoke at Newport, Wales. to-day before a
mass meeting of workingmen, to whom he
directed the main portion of his arguments.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he did not believe a
tariff war would follow the adoDtion OF his
fiscal policy, but if 1t did come Great
Britain could get as much as on former oc-
casions when she had the courage to hold
her own. Mr.. Chamberlain pointed out
the Brussels sugar convention and the
German threat to penalize Canada as in
stances in which Great Britain had secured
her way without a tariff war. He said
sugar was actually lower in the United
Kingdom now than 1t had been during the
five years Immediately preceding the adop
dian colonies were relieved of the bounty
incubus which had been strangling them
for tIilrty years. The speaker said he did
not believe that Germany or any other ma
ton was anxious to cross swords with Great
Britain in a tariff war.
