NEWSPAPERS AND NEWSPAPERS

Present Day Conditions in Journalism
 Show Change and Improvement.
 'sIn America" said Wordsworth to Emerson, when the two poets were discussing our country together, T wish to know not how many churches pr schools, but how many newspapers" Poets often strike out brilliant criti- cisnns. Wordsworth, long before the press had become what it now is, saw { its importance in the development of our people The newspaper is the char acteristic expression of contemporary thought. The skill and intelligence employed upon the editorial pages of our leading newspapers is greater to- day than the skill and intelligence which goes into the making of books. Foreigners are sometimes surprised that so many Americans, with liter ary career already assured, choose dournalisn The book means less here than it does in several other countries; the newspaper means more The best work in 1t is anonymous. It goes not into literary, artistic or dramatic criti- cism, as 1t does for instance, in Paris, but into the handling of the news and the expression of editorial opinion. The arts are, thus far at least, not our main concern. We are more occupied with the interests of the many than with the refinements of the few. The reading public here is the million, as 6t ig in no other land. Democracy in our sense. where millions read, think and vote, is new in the world, and our concern is to reflect, guide and clarify ft. much more than to make art along established lines. Newspapers, every wear cheaper, reach a public every year bigger. A justice of the supreme court of the United States has just given out the opinion that the press, 1n enabling us every day to know our fellow citizens throughout the land, has removed antiquities and misun- derstandings. increased our sympathies and helped us to realize the purpose announced in the constitution, ito form . more perfect union" He also sees in the press a powerful influence to- ward the solution of our many ana deep social problems, especially by hrfrQing them before the court of pub Iic soninion. "a court of increasing wis., dom and power, nniglltier than any orr ranized tribunal" The newspapers have their faults like individuals. Some are controlled by morley, like municipal councils Some are vulgarly subserv- tent to the untrained, like many poll ficians. But they are improving. One. of the greatest and most successrui was. a short time ago, of the deepest saffron. To-day with some sensation alisnl left, it has abandoned inaccuracy and violence. Among journalists 1t IS ,,oxv deemed the most complete an veracious daily newspaper in It's c1ty, in news service, with the most inter- egting page of editorial opinion. It's position is strengthening, and It's Tor mer rival, now almost alone in the vel lowest field, is every day losing IFS hold.--C Golfers Weekly.

kind of springboard, and one can easily fancy what nerve is needed for their doing. It is an excellent headline feature and should be additionally at- tractive becallse of the Wtltons being Waterbury boys. Jordan and Welch, the well known Hebrew fmpersonators, have their we'll known talking and parody singing act, and the Exposition Four introduce some excellent music with their comedy. Sam Edwards and his company please very much with the playlet "A Pass for Two" and Miss Edna Murilla is pleasing songster. Other contributions to the bill are by Mullen and Corre1li, Jones and Sutton and the vitagraph. Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

THE MccAY CONCERT.

Mir and Miss McCay, the gifted blind brother and sister, who will ap- pear at Leavenworth hall Thursday evening, are highly spoken of by the Hartford and New Britain papers. Both are excellent pianists. Miss McCay is the possessor of an excep- tionaIly good soprano voice and her brother has rich baritone. His abil- ity as an impersonator is to be won dered at since he has never seen the conduct of others. His humorous songs and specimens of Irish wit never fail to provoke laughter.

One great merchant in Gotham makes it a rule never to allow his ap- propriation for advertising to fall be- low his total expense for wages of en- ployes. He argues that the expense of serving customers should not be greater than the expense of bringing them to the store with we'll defined idea of what they want to buy Be low this mark is the line of danger in any business" he says. How does the rule apply to your business?
