The dispatch follows.
President Roosevelt last week had

cHlcAoo's SUBWAY.

A few years < Boston had the
only subway In this country. Now
New York Is about 70 open a gigantic
tunnel dedicated 70 the travelling pub.
lie, And In Chicago twenty miles OF
an underground system has been
made, but with 80 little disturbance OF
traffic that little Ii said about II. Not
a street has been torn up. Not a de-
lay has been oecasioned to the i'm.
mense amount Of travel which crosses
the Windy city daily. The work in
this respect stands In admirable CON
trast to the work on the New York
tunnel nov about done. In the lat
ter city there were accidents without
number. The streets were open 10
such an extent that the property own
ers OF Broadway absolutely refused
to consider the proposition OF a branch
going under their street. Chicago is
20 be congratulated with the way II
has conducted the building OF this
tunnel.
Another difference III the Chicago
subway Is In the fact that Il Is design.
ed for freight, not passenger service.
The streets will be relieved Of the
heavy dray carts and left to the peo-
pie. This Is q decided advantage 70
the people. Perhaps they will not
make quite so good time as they
would under the dark street, but they
will have u and air and be less ex-
posed to appalling accidents. The
beauty Of the streets will also be much
improved BY the absence of the heavy
freight traffic.
Twenty miles of this work Is done
and over Il hundred more will be built.
When completed II Will DO much to
solve the present chaotic condition Of
urban transit in the lake city.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE TRUTH

-
Edward Box OF the Ladies' Home
Journal discusses at length In the
current number OF the Worlds Work
why People Disbelieye the News
papers
According TO Mr.. Box, people no
longer believe all they read in the
newspapers. He says the fault Is
with the publishers. who are bringing
out too large journals. and who are
endeayoring 10 beat" each other In
the publication Of sensations at the
expense OF truth. He quotes several
instances OF journalistic tricks. In
which deliberate falsehoods have not
only been printed, but played up
on the first page In the bargain. All
This. Mr.. Box says, has tended to I'M
derm!ne the confidence Of people in
the newspapers.
But Mr.. Box. from the unimpeach-
able heights OF Ladies' Home Journal
ism. has apparently looked upon only
one class Of newspapers-the yellow
class. The di~sreputable tricks which
he pictures with such gravity would
never be employed in the Office OF a
reputable journal. Indeed. Mr.. Box
rather weakly amidst that there are
such things al reputable journals in
this country and that their influence
Is large and increasing. Consequent
ly his charges OF deliberate falsifica-
ton AMI distortion OF news should net
be Ieveled against the press In gem
eral.
II is true. and "pity It's. It's true"
that unreliable journals have sprung
up In this country, fostered by the
support III people who like big head
lines, red ink and a minimum Of &C.
cllracy in what they read. These pa
pers are known as the ''yellows," and
their methods are not those of legiti
mate journalism But they do not rep.
resent journalism itself any more
than the cheap, paper.backed novels
on some book counters represent liter.
AZURE. They have circulation, but
their influence Is little, On the other
hand, papers like the New York Her
aid, Sun, Times, Evening Post and
Tribune are the types OF the better
class OF newspapers in all parts Of
the country. These newspapers have
more real weight and influence than
all the yellow journals combined,
simply for the cas- that they have
the confidence OF their readers and
do not wilfully betray that confidence.
Clearly Mr.. Box should amend the
title Of his article 50 Il will read. why
People disbelieve the yellow News.
