POWER oE The PRESS,

In Carlyle's lectures on Heroes and
Hero Worship" he quotes Edmund
Burke, that great orator and states
man who, standing in parliament. en-.
gagged in debate. once said:
There are three Estates in parlia-
ment, but in the reporters gallery yon-
der there sits Fourth Estate, more i'm
portant far than they ALL"
Burke recognized the power of the
press and it is no less-is greater in
deed-now than then. The Fourth Els.
tate is a powerful moulder of public
opinion and public thought. The
standards of journalism have not de.
Perforated with time. The men who are
famous as writers on questions of mo-
ment now are as intelligent, as learn
ed, as strong as were the Journalists
of Burke's day The press may well
feel proud of it's standing and it's stand
ards.
In one characteristic the journalistic
life has changed considerably since
the time of Burke. The business side

PARkER's MISTAKE,

In his speech of acceptance, Judge
Parker says of antitrust legislation:
What is needed is not SO much other
and different laws, as officials having
both the disposition and the courage
to enforce existing law
Oh, no that is not the need, for the
country has an official of that kind in
Theodore Roosevelt. Witness what
that democratic newspaper, the New
York World, said on this point the day
after the supreme court confirmed the
decision in the Northern Securities
suit:
"The antitrust law was framed by
Ia republican, was passed by repub-
lican house and a republican senate
was signed by republican president
"The law remained a dead letter on
the statute books during the second
term of Grover Cleveland, demo-
cratic president. Through those four
years of democratic administration all
appeals and all efforts of the world
to have the law enforced were met
with sneers, jeers and open contempt
from democratic attorney general,

BOOKS FOR BOYS.

A Chicago youth has been arrested
in Hammond, Ind, for stealing horse.
He was a reader of dime novels. His
course was steered by the standards
set by their heroes, but he fell into
the hands of the police and will now
probably have term in reform
school or possibly in the penitentiary
during which he can reflect upon the
error Of his, way. Cheap, vulgar, liter
ature has had much to do with the
wrecking Of lives of many young men
and every instance should prove les
son to boys. Parents can do much to
guard the minds of their children from
this trash. Good books, books that
help to make useful men out of boys,
are to be obtained at price so cheap
that the cost is almost nothing as com
pared with the benefits derived. Pub
lie libraries are increasing in number
and the time is coming when town
will not be bold enough to claim the
name unless it has one Of these
shrines of learning.
The boys. the citizens of the future,
owe 1t to themselves and to their
country to be useful men. Their read
ing will, in great measure, decide their
future characters. If they read trash
their minds are surcharged with a
desire to emulate the characters of the
wild, impossible tales. If they read
books with morals, books no less ex-
citing and interesting than the dime
novels, but books which leave desire
to lead honorable lives, they cannot
help but be bettered by their reading
With the parents of today rests the
responsibility for the character of the
parents of the next generation. Inter.
est your boy in good reading, get him
books by good authors. 1t matters not
whether they be tales of life upon the
plains. stories of the search for gold in
the days of the "Forty-niners,' or
books of travel. They are all interest.
ing. Do not require them to read but
suggest that they will find it enjoy.
able. Provide good books for them and
they will do the rest. Once started on
the right class of literature they will
not desert it for the brightest colored
dime novel.

The Campaign Mathematician.

He sits alone in his padded cell with a
mad CLEAN in his eye,
A pencil clutched in his nervous hand
and his fevered brow all dry;
He casts great sums on Uttered sheet
and then twists up his hair.
Tears up the sheet with hollow sigh
and a gesture of despair;
And ever he sits with his pencil there
and feverishly drums,
Jots down more figures on a sheet and
costs him up more sums,
While gibberish flows from his parch-
ed lips we cannot understand,
And he sits there in his padded cell
with pencil in his hand.
Now these" he mutters, ARE sure to
go for our honored candidates,
These will go for the other side and
these are the doubtful states;
Well set the figures down right here,
In columns side by side,
Subtract the total from what we need
and the thing is verified;
Next add New York with thirty-nine;
subtract thirteen from three,
And multiply by Illinois-that makes
1t plain you see;
But shall we add or multiply New
York by Idaho.
To get the size of the total vote that
is cast by Borneo?
Lets add New York to Illinois, divide
by Tennessee,
Subtract the dividend from six and
multiply by three,
To find the votes we need to get, then
cube the subtrahend,
Extract the square root, Of Brazil and
square the dividend,
Which gives us six majority without q
doubtful state
And will elect, without a doubt, our
honored candidate,
For three times three are surely nine
and five from nine leaves four,
Well sweep the land from Panama to
the coast of Labrador!"
Alas! Alas! He was once like you and
me, but see him now;
The baleful eye of the maniac and the
madman's fevered brow!
And all day long he mutters there
with pencil in his hand.
While gibberish flows from his parch-
ed lips we cannot understand.
He figures up the doubtful states anG
he sets them at one side,
Subtracts the total from something
else and the thing is verified;
He adds New York to Tennessee, di.
vides by Idaho,
And finds the total vote they'll cast ii
the wilds of Borneo!

looked at him gratefully and approvs

the young general gave the signal for
the attempt In these not very encour-

lost in the shadow covering the face
of it, and the watchers below could
trace the course Of their slow and
painful ascent by the crashing sounds
they made, as by the aid of stunted
trees growing in clumps here and
there they made their toilsome way
upward. Why the French did not dis
cover them has never been explained.
Presently the sounds died away all
together. The silence was broken by
the sound Of musket-shot, followed
by another and another. A quick
fusillade rang out from the sky above
them. They were there, then! They

men began to spring from the boats!
and fell in on the shore. The feel

through the night, found vent ini
cheers and cries. Presently a haill
came down from the cliff. It was
Howe's voice.
1--WE have the post!" he shouted.
1.-THE enemy has fled! The way Isl
open!"
Hold 1t at all hazards!" cried the
commander.
The cheering men fairly tore the
barbados to pieces and scrambled up
the path, Wolfe himself in the lead.
Capt. de Vergor, who commanded the
French guard, was incapable and O
coward. He had Kept negligent watch.
Howe and his handful OF men had,
surprised them. The fall Of New
France must be laid at the feet of ono
person; and, singularly enough, the,
beginning of American independence
may be traced to the splendid exploit
of the young soldier, who, as gen1I
eral long after, at Long Island, Whitei
Plains, Brandywine and Germantown
did his best to stop Its course.
