NOT FOR THE STAGE.

The Minnesota state board Of par
don has granted liberty to Thomas
Coleman Younger. who has been i'm
prsoned for about 25 years for the part
he took IN the famous Younger-James
raid and murder and bank robbery.
But the pardon is not unconditional,
1t Is granted on two conditions, FIRST,
that She prisoner go home to his friends
in Missouri and never return to Min
nesota; and second, that he never go
on the stage, whether dime museum,
theater, opera or circus.
This last condition is quite remark
able. Btt q expresses correct prln-
ciple. A murderer IL not 1T object

Of show can have none but bad ef-
fects, There are sure to be some who
viii try to emulate the examples Of
such characters, even though they are
known 10 be evil and lead to destruc-
ton
The board OF pardon probably had no
fear that this old man would ever be
thinking Of going ON the stage. His
only desire now must be to live in Sc
clusion and end his days In peace. But
the opportunity was well chosen for
protest against the condemnable prac-
tice OF some managers to get hold
Of prize. fighters crooks, and disreput-
able characters and exhibit them, The
protest is much needed, though our
age boasts OF being one Of reason and
enlightenment above all previous ages.

THE IDEAL PAPER AGAIN,

DR.. Parkhurst is talking about estab-
fishing an ideal newspaper" His
idea of such newspaper he states as
follows
",The people want news clean, whole
some news, that win educate and ele-
waite them, not degrade.
my idea is to print facts, without
elaboration or establishment and TO
print them for just what they are
worth, II they are printable. The point
Of sensationalism TO which the news of
the day Is exploited In some newspapers
is simply disgusting and degrading,
"No suppression OF real news Is a
part OF my plan, nor would | attempt
TO provide a stupid daily newspaper,
but the cole purpose OF II would not
be the making Of profits
Our esteemed contemporary the Chi
cago Record Herald thinks that the
doctor needs mlllionaires and billion
aires to endow an ideal paper in New
York, intimatng that It must from the
outset be considered a financial failure.
At the same time II claims that the
Record-H Herald Is the ideal paper, ac-
cording to DR.. Parkhurst's idea. and
that 1t is a great financial success.
That is to say our Chicago contem-
porary in one breath denies that the
ideal newspaper can be made a flnan-
cial success and asserts that 1t has
been made so In Chicago. Why should
not New York be as good field for an
'ideal" paper as Chicago is?
The ideal" newspaper win come in
time The literary chaff that now fills
so much space on the threshing floor Of
modern thought, will be blown away in
due time. and only the wheat will re-
main. And It Is but natural that the
churches should take an interest in
that matter The religious press is
on the retreat The next step is TO
make the secular" press what 1t ought
10 be. not only from an intellectual but
also from a moral point Of view.
