Many newspapers have been the
means Of intellectual and moral
life. What such a paper thinks
on public question is important
far beyond the area of its immedi-
ate circulation. But in grear
city, where competition is not
simply sharp, but fierce, the news
paper is apt to think that it may
do anything that will increase its
circulation as a means of value to
its advertisers, upon whom its
prosperity depends. The result is
that it often sinks below the de-
mand for an ideal and rarely stops
at the level Of a policy. But when
it is considered that hundreds of
thousands of copies go daily into
the homes of the ignorant, who
wish to know what the world is
doing, the moral value of a news
paper can not be lost sight of.
The choice has to be made between
a course that is moral and one that
is immoral.
The workingman who has no
time to read newspaper III the
morning, at the end of long day
of labor ought to find a clear ac-
count in his evening paper of what
has happened in every corner of
the world. That account should
be expanded in the ratio of its i'm
portance. What he usually finds
is crime displayed, questions of
government administration and
international interest restricted
He knows in a vague way that
there is a Colorado mining issue,
a meat packers VS.. labor union
controversy, a Japan and Russia
complication, an impending Pres
idential election, and a test ques-
ton before the Supreme Court in
the matter of Interstate Commerce
Law; but the largest area Of the
page before his eye will be occn-
pied by the pictures of the princi-
pals in a divorce proceeding, de-
tailed accounts of robberies, muir
dcrs, and other crimes SO common
that it is difficult for the reporter
to tax his rhetoric for new descrip-
tions. When this workingman'
half-hour of reading is over, he
has accumulated impressions which
are poor crown to place upon a
day of honest toll.
1t has taken many millions OF
years to make the thinking ma
chine that we call the human
brain. 1t has taken many thou.
sands OF years to educate it. In Il
great democracy, what it turns out
as thinking machine is of the
first Importance to the Republic:
and it would seem legitimate tc
require that great educational
agent like the daily newspaper
should realize its responsibility
and take its share of direction
control, and influence. The news
paper that departs from its mis-.
sion to inform, and for the sole
purpose of revenue seeks to in.
flame, is blot upon mankind, {
foe to the public, and an enemy te

Tie newspaper can not say
because it is for everybody that il
must run the whole gamut of pub.
lie interest and meet depravIty
with dcpravity. The editorial
management that contents itself
with this ideal has lost sight Of its
Influence in the contemplation Of
revenue. Of couis,, it is the first
duty OF newspaper, as of every
enterprise, 20 succeed.
But when its success leaves trail
II disaster it ceases to be legiti-
nate, and mnat be treated as an

The agricultural development of
Colorado in the last decade is one
of the national wonders. We are
apt to think Of her in connection
with the precious metals and other
minerals, but these, great as they
are, constitute onl y a fraction Of
the wealth of the famous Centen-
NAL state. Colorado ranks eighth
among the states in agriculture,
sixth in live stock, fifth in coal
and iron, first in the per centage
Of sugar in sugar beets, first in the
area of irrigated land and first in
the quality of wheat, potatoes and
melons. No other state approaches
Colorado, of course, in the amounts
of gold and silver produced. She
has given to the world the famous
Rocky Ford canteloupe, which in
II few years has made the choicest

WHAT WOMEN s
% f% WANT TO KNOW
Rv Marion AL

BY Marion Alcott Prentice.
Seeing the st. Louis ExpositIon.-What
clothes shall take with me for short
visit to ST. Louis? My trip will be an
inexpensive one, and shall be at the
fair all the time.-Novice.
In preparing for visit to st. Louis bear
in mind that the peculiarly oppressive
heat Of that city, exorbitant prices and
vast crowds of people are the main things
with which you will have to contend. The
wise woman will plan the details of her
journey so that she may enjoy the sights
with the least fatigue and annoyance, and,
incidentally, save needless drains on her
purse. Elaborate clothing will be alb
surdly out of place; garments and colors
Which will Withstand the CRIME of travel
and yet present decent appearance on
the return trip are essential to comfort
and dignity Laundry prices are excess
slVe and results more or less uncertain,
SO do not think of wearing washable
dresses. Nothing looks quite so forlorn
as soiled cotton or linen suit in a pub
lie. place. Travelling is trying enough at
best, and one unaccustomed to long Jour-
neys should be in the best possible phys-
cal condition before starting. Have all
clothing as thin and as light as is prac-
ttcable, and be sure that the shoes are
perfectly comfortable; old ones are best.
smart walking suit, skirt ankle length
of dark gray or fawn mohair or tweed,
with shirtwaist of pongee silk, will be
cool and q practical travelling suit A
dozen fresh stocks, plenty of handker-
chiefs and an extra shrtwaist with a
| change of linen, can be slipped into
small grip with the necessary toilet arti-
cles Remember the transportation com
panies are overworked at this season and
| luggage may be delayed, so it is wise to
take complete outfit in your bag if
possible. Above all, provide a secure
pocket in your waist for cash. enclosing
the notes in oiled paper to avoid contain
nation and carry only trif1ing amount
for immediate use in your purse. Dam
Cling bags and full purses in ones hands
are constant temptation to the desperate
and dishonest Be most particular about
your diet while away, and especially about
the water you drink. Coffee and tea are
safer than water or milk, for the boiling
| reduces the danger from unwholesome
germs.
