The Modern Newspaper.

A recent article in the San Francisco
Bulletin deals with the modern news
papers. The article contains much
common sense and should be read by
those whe are constantly iterating and
reiterating that as moral influence
the press is degenerating if it is not
already distinctly bad. AS the Bulle-
tin says, "a newspaper is a commercial
enterprise and must be made to pay.
Young men selecting journalism as
profession, must recognize this situa-
ton and act accordingly. Men that
have no experience in publishing a
newspaper are given to the theory that
the public would read newspaper
that was written in the vein of the
North American Review. The public
has improved a good deal since it
shouted for Barabbas when PLATE
offered it the Nazarene, but it has not
yet quite reached that disiderated state
of intellectual and moral growth in
which instruction is preferred to enter
tainment and accuracy to smartness of
statement. Nodoubt the free and easy
English of journalism is distressing at
times to the intellectual elite of our
population, but what is to be done
about? A newspaper dares not write
over the heads of the public, for doing
so would render it ineffective at once
from the standpoint of the editor and
the business manager"

what appeals to the public in
this reform is the quick settlement
OF the strife, the justice done to all
parties. the prevention of political
trickery in conventions, and the de-
thronement of the professional poll
tician. Already the success of this
system has led to a demand for extern
sion of the law, and it IS seriously
proposed to carry it so far as to dis
continue even the state convention
itself, with its historic associations.
II recommend the amendment Of
the present election laws so that the
Massachusetts system may be sub
stantially enacted in Montana"
Let the people of Montana heed
we'll the. words of Governor Toole,
and scrutinize as closely as they may,
they won't be able tn find one incon-
sistency In his official life.
Governor Toole should be our
leader. not leader of democrats or
republicans, but leader Of the peo-
pie against the corporations.

SUBSIDIZED PAPERS IN OTHER
STATES.
Helena Press: Montana people are
not the only ones who must tuy sub
sidized corporation papers to get the
news.
"Where does the boosted power of
the press come in, when Mayors Har-
rison Of Chicago, Jones Of Toledo, and
johnson Of Cleveland are reelected
with active newspaper opposition and
virtually no newspaper backing in
their respective citieS?' asks Ralph
w. Wheelock in the Minneapolis
Tribune. "Neither Harrison or john
son had even the support of their own
party papers, while Jones, who has no
party, had to rely entirely on gospel
leaflets. Solutions of this perplexing
problem will be gladly received, ere
we lose our longtime pride in our
grand and glorious profession"
That has happened in Chicago a
good many times in the past fifteen
years and in many other large cities
OF the country. The Chamberlain, S.
D., Journal has often thought that
the cause lies in the fact that "the
common layman or average hobo
knows that the metropolitan daily
newspaper is either the property of
franchise grabbers or its columns are
for sale to monopOllsts for valuable
considerations and that if a man
boldly stands out and denounces mon
opoly and public service corporations,
the people are willing to accept his
promises instead of taking the advice
of the "boasted power of the press
that either advocates the side Of the
syndicate or is wishy-washy without
daring to take an open stand against
it.
1t is no marvel that Tom johnson
was elected in spite of newspaper op-
position. AS the Chamberlain Jour-
nal says: '"Tom Johnson for years
has taken the stand that The govern
ment should own and operate all
transportation lines, including rail
ways, telegraphs, telephones, and
that municipalities should own their
street railways, water works and all
kinds of utilities that the people
use.,
"Golden Rule Jones has several
times been elected mayor OF Toledo,
Ohio, even though he took more adj
vanced grounds toward socialism, be-
cause the people of Toledo trust him.
Carter Harrison has for six years
fought monopollstic franchises in
Chicago and favored the city'S own
ing and operating everything of pub
lie nature.
1T is notorious to everyone who
reads that the daily papers have
greater interest in party legislation
that is favorable to corporate greed
than they have in legislation for all
the people," says the Chamberlain
Journal. THAT is so because the
oligarchy desiring special privileges
is expected to and does contribute to
the party organization that will aid
in passing laws favorable to syndi-
Gates. Therefore the voter in the
large city who must hustle to get his
daily bread and twice.a.week meat
prefers to vote for the man who

GOV, TOOLE. THE TRUSTS AND

the May household number, says:
GAS the vigorous trial and prompt
decision IN the Northern Securities
case are undoubtedly due to the pres.
ident, our attention is again called to
the kind Of executive who now heads
this government"
This language Of the editor Of Col
lier's reminds us of the fact that our
own governor, the Hon. Joseph X.
TOole, was somewhat Instrumental
in obtaining the decision above men,
toned, and that probably he and
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota are
entitled to as much credit if not more
than President Roosevelt.
1t is quite apropos at this time for
us to turn our attention to the kind
of executive" who is now heading our
state government, and who should
head it as long as it is his desire to do
so. No man can find one particle Of
inconsistency in Governor TOole's
utteraLceS or in his positions. The
editor Of Golfers recognizes the in
stability and Inconsistency of Roose-
yelt's position when he says; He
may say one thing about the tariff or
trusts last year and another thing to-
day, but it only means that he is
going earnestly but cautiously along,
under the best advice, to execute
right and extirpate wrong"
Governor Toole doesn't say one
thing this year and another thing
next year.
NOTICE what Governor Toole said
during his first term as governor:
1--WE are building for the future,
and it would not be prudent for us to
be unmindful of the fact that there
IS danger in the centralzing tenden-
cies of business and in the growth of
monopolies and trusts, which fortify
themselves 10y the aggregation of
capital and by other influences per-
meating all branches of trade and
classes CT society.
Unchecked by any feeling of indi-
yidual responsibility. moved solely by
a love of gain, unfettered by the
duties of citizenship, they are enabled
to perpetuate themselves by the
adoption of methods and the use of
agents which often scruple at no
means to accomplish their ends. The
result is the crowding out Of healthy
competition and the survival of the
strongest, which, under this process,
is by no means the tittest.
This result blunts the sensibilities
OF the citizens, builds up and fosters
classes among the people, and under
mines the fundamental principles
upon which the government fabric is
based"
Take these remarks of Governor
Tt ole in connection with what he
aid in his message to the last legisla-
ture. together with his action regard
ing the Northern Securities company,
and who can doubt that he has the
interests of the common people vely
close to his heart? Regarding direct
legislation Governor Toole said to the
legislature:

with the genius and spirit of Ameri.
Can institutions that what is popu-
larly known as Direct legislation
1t is the very essence of government
by the people. 1t fosters and en-
'courages the formation and exercise
of deliberate and independent iudg-
ment upon the part Of the voter, in
stead of perfunctory, blind follow
ing of disloyal, assembling and
designing leaders.

RAILROAD COMBINATION.

NA1ANOAD COMBINATION.
Farm, Stock and Home: The
trouble with President J. ]. Hill and
his fellow mergists was that they did
not realize that railroad "merger'
would not look as harmless and smell
as sweetly to the dear people as rail-
road community of interest,"" Under
the last name railroad mergers were
made years ago, are in successful or
Grafton yet. and likely to be for years
to come. They are as effective ''com-
petition destrOyers' as the one re-
Gently embarrassed by court, and
many times more colossal, yet they
made not ripple of trouble in our
peaceful breast; tribute is paid to
them with ready and accomplishing
cheerfulness, and seemingly only be-
cause they were not labeled, 'this is
a merger" Verify, there is some
thing in name.
One only of the unticketed mergers
will be mentioned here, but it will
illustrate the point aimed at. In 1898
the national supreme court declared
railroad pooling unla wful, and for the
moment railroad kings thought they
were up against something hard. But
not long. Such men as j. P. Morgan,
w. X. Vanderbilt, Gould, Rockefeller,
and few others Of that class, repre-
senting the N. Y. Central, Penn.
Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western, and
other eastern railway trunk lines and
systems, got together and found
way out. The railroads represented
have about 25 per cent of the entire
railroad mileage of the country, but
in capitalization, in business done, in
number of men employed, in resources
and ear nings, they share about
equally with the balance of the coun-
try's roads. This will give some idea
of the magnitude of the interests that
met for the purpose of at once obey
ing the mandate of the supreme court
and avoiding improbable COMPETE
ton.
1t did not take long to formulate
plan, which was simply an exchange
of stock and placing representatives
of all the roads in the directorates of
etch one; in short, a merger of the
strongest and most effective kind.
But it was not called so. nor was the
arrangement publicly proclaimed as
an achievement to be proud Of There
was no defiance of public opinion in
it. probably for the reason that in
1898 it was thought more impolta to
defy public opinion than in 1902, or
that it was thought to be more neces-
sary to conceal the fact of railroad
consolidation at the first date than
the last.
at all events, the method Of the
first merger attracted no attentions;
people, press, law, courts, state nor
natl onal administrations took any
not ice of it, yet no combination could
by any possibility be more destruc-
tive of competition than that one.
The roads involved in itwere IN posi-
ton to become competitive, of course,
or there would have been no need of
combination. They were, in fact,
parallel lines" in relation to all the
business of railroads that ever is COM
petitive, and that Is through business.

the northwest is an act that de-

Southern whites az the destruction OF human
civilization.
II is important to note what is here said
about the outcome OF the Tilden-Hayes
contest for the Presidency, because IN
Great Britain the book before I'M is likely
to be widely accepted as authoritative.
Prof Smith reminds w that the ELECTION
which followed the nominations OF Tilden
and Hayes by the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties respectively. proved 70 be
one Of tho most exciting In the history
OF the United States, for the reason that
an alarming dilemma arose from the facL
that in the three remaining Ac&rpet-baG
States, South Carolina, Florida and Louisi-
ana, the returns, as usual, We're ~ doubt,
and these States held the balance between
the candidates. The facts might have
been more strongly stated. The truth IL
that, those three States being excluded.
Mr.. rilden needed but one electoral vote,
and it niattered not whether that vote came
from one Of those three States or from
Oregon, which also sent duplicate returns.
We now quote from Prof. Smith: Since
the Senate was Republican and the House
Democratic, a party insstence by either
might prevent any counting Of the cleo
toral vote. and might thus leave the country
with no legal executive after March Asst.
To avoid this danger, the House agreed
upon compromise, by which the question

adjoining them. The rosettes are hand
carved as are all the other trimmings.
The mantels are high and surrounded
fire places of the earlier day style.
These fire places are six feet wide and
about four in hight and the same in
depth. The hearths are composed of
granite Tagging three feet in length
and a foot wide with a thickness of
three inches. In the back of each fire
place are places where cranes had been
suspended and upon which pots for
cooking purposes had in time been
hung over the flames, but which have
been done away with in more recent
years
Mr.. Solomon said he has a remem-
brapce of the buildings for forty-seven
years, and they were then regarded
very old. His first remembrance Of
them is as railroad boarding houses.
After that they have been used by col
ored people, the last occupants having
moved out a few days ago.
Mr.. Slater has not yet decided def
nitely on the plans for his new build
ing except that it will be three stories
in hight, the ground floor to be used
for store purposes and the upper
floors as flats. Plans are now being
drawn.
