above the future, is it's ideals. Such
as are these it may become; and in
their image it will grow bestial or di-
vine. They are its last citadel; and
so long as no spear thrust OF COM
mercialism or other debasement
reaches them, the race is secure and
all possibilities are locked within its
heart. With ideals vanished or cor
rupted, wherein is it better than the
beasts of the field, whom it would sur
pass only in vain longings doomed to
bitter and eternal disappointment.
The plan of Mr.. Carnegie, unwittingly,
of course, due to the moral coarseness
that mars a character otherwise marked
by much that is admirable, is the
equivalent-of a degradation of moral
ideals. 1t were we'll, truly. that no
brave and good man should suffer loss.
But only by thrusting on society, in
his time and place, that responsibility;
only by sounding in their ears the
because he has won his heavenly
spurs. is the light of good deeds kept
alive in a naughty world. Just be-
cause the hero acts out his own soul.
because he must be supremely indif-
ferent to consequences, because he
must place not only his own life, but
the lives of those held dear to him in
the deadly, wavering balance, is hero
ism the choice and precious jewel Of
the race. Only so can we attain to
that hero worship which ennobles him
that gives and him that takes.
In the name of God and of humanity
spare to us our ideals. Let us be-
lieve that there are thoughts and ac-
tions not to be catalogued and tagged
with bargain prices. Let the COM
merce Of internal nobility be between
the soul and its God alone, and the
systems of rewards and punishments
be assigned by the august tribunal
where these meet face to face. Let us
never fall so low as to connect with
that service and that sacrifice that are
the perfect flower of heroism the idea
of pecuniary recompense. The plan
of Mr.. Carnegie is an insult to the
angels, and a derogation of their high
place and nobility to the sons of men.
Without the Intervention Of the count
ing room, may he that is noble be
noble still; may our inspired souls
still bid Satan get behind them in or

and the glory of them be not won, but

THE RIGHTS OF THE PRESS.

1t only requires that Russia should
put into effect it's order directing that
correspondents taken in the zone OF
operations Of the Russian feet in the
far East should be treated as spies to
inaugurate a war that would awaken
the MuscOvite to the fact that the
world stands upon the basis of civiliza-
ton.
The threat of the Russian govern
ment is SO worded as to be aimed par
f1cuiarly at those correspondents who
are using the wireless system of teIeg-
raphy in the transmission of news, but
| there is menace to all correspondents
In the order. So far only the cerre-
| spondent Of the London Times is using
the wireless system. He is on board a
| ship lifted with wireless apparatus and
he has been sending from the high
/ seas reports of the movements Of the
fleets in the waters about the I.iaotlng
peninsula. The relations between the
Times and the Russian administration
have been strained since the CORE
| spondent of that paper was requested
| to leave st. Petersburg. The Thunderer
has not scrupled since then to foment
! the anti-Russian sentiment in Eng
land, and it is possible that this order
| is inspired by Muscovite hatred Of the
British journal.
But there is. much more involved
| than the policy to be pursued by Rus
sia towards this one newspaper which
| it fears SO greatly. 1t is very certain
that other newspapers and agencies
| are arranging to establish a wireless
service. 1t is absolutely sure that the
| governments under whose protection
the correspondents are operating will
maintain them in their proper liber-
| ties at any possible COST The world is
entitled to know what is doing at the
seat Of war, and the enterprise Which
has led the correspondents to this dan
gereus post of duty appeals to the
civilized world, that will stand at the
backs Of the men who are commits
stoned to tell the truth. about what is
going on.

NOT IN HIS LINE

Frank A. Munsey was phenomenaIly
successful in the business of publish
ing a periodical of monthly issue. of
mediocre merit and fat in advertising.
His success in this peculiar field con-
WINGED him that he was a genius in the
publishing line. A couple of years ago
he announced that he had thought the
matter over and had come to the con-
clusion that what the people of the
United States wanted most was a
newspaper differing in some essentials
from those which occupy the daily field
generally; having certain set standards
Of editorial opinion, and appealing to
the middle Glass; He proposed to
establish d central staff and produce
papers containing the same general
news, all edited conformably to the
publishers ideas and localized to suit
the various sections of the country.
In a speech in which he exploited his
theory year or more ago Mr. Munsey
pointed to the success of certain gro
| cery stores he had established and was
operating on the Thomas A. Upton
plan. He proposed to apply the same
theories to his newspaper scheme.
About this time the announcement
CT Munsey's failure in the newspaper
business was due. 1t has been made.
He took up the New York News for
the purpose Of trying his scheme The
New York public was the dog. And
New York, which has stood and does
stand for some very queer things in
the way of newspapers, would have
nothing to do with Munsey The News
1t was one of the first penny papers in
the country. 1t printed the news in
the baldest form; it's editorial influ-
ence was nil, it was not lovely to look
at-but it made a tremendous lot of
money for it's owners, until the man
whose knowledge of what was needed
by the people whose pennies he was
after died. Then it fell on evil days by
| reason of mismanagement and litiga-
ton. Munsey bought the property and
! proceeded to elevate the moral tone
and literary tastes of little old New
York" He preached at the people
through the news columns, he fed them
editorial breakfast food he put his
lance in rest and upset windmills. But
he failed to reach the heart of the un-
washed mob that had read the News,
and uptown, on the avenues and bouIe-
wards, they would have nothing to do
with the paper.
1t cost Mr.. Munsey some hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to demonstrate to
his own utter satisfaction that he is not
journalistic genius. We shall hear no
more of his proposed line of machine
| made newspapers of high tone; run on
the cooperative grocery-store plan.
The New York News will probably fall
into the hands of some party wholly
devoid of ideals who will give the news
to the people as it occurs and get the
money and countenance Mr.. Munsey
tried for.
The failure of Munsey should stand
| as a warning to those who would butt
in. He is only one of distinguished
line of publishers who failed to sell
newspapers run on the grocery shop
plan and who overlooked the fact that
the grocery business is successful only
when the goods are fresh, low priced
and edible. The groceryman who tries

The cruelest punishment that could
be devised for the crime would not de-
ter the madman who contemplated an
attack upon the presidents life from
| making it, To the distorted mind of
such a man, fearful consequences
would only lend greater glory to the
deed. There is now before congress a
bill which provides that an unsuceess-
| ful attempt made upon the life ofsthe
/ chief executive Of the United States or
upon the lives of certain other high Of
f1cia1s shall be more severely punished
than it would be were the attack made
upon an ordinary individual The chief
objection made to this bill is that it is
class legislation. But did anybody be-
lieve that its passage would make Sc

hardly probable that any voice would
be raised in protest against it,
AS matter of fact, however such
law, did it exist, would simply furnish
the would-be assassin with an addi-
tional reason for his crime. 1t is the
shining mark that attracts the assas-
sins bullet. AS soon as he discovered
that the government had acknowledged

than others, those few lives would
arouse fresh hatred and his effort
would be to reach those and wreck his
vengeance upon them because they

of the government he despises. This,
at least, would be the anarchists at
titude. AS for that equally dangerous

So long as insanity exists, the lives
of those men and women who hold i'm

The same mad fury which prompts the
enraged bull to attack the red rag
prompts the madman to attack the
man who occupies a high place. If he
were sane he would know that the de-
struetion Of the individual never means
the destruction of what he represents.
Royalty is so hedged in by etiquette
that it is much better safeguarded than
the president of republic. The latter
cannot use the same precautions be-
cause they are foreign to the spirit of
the country he represents. He can be
strictly guarded in an unobtrusive
way, but even SO he is constantly eX-
posed to danger. If legislation could
make his life more secure, the Ameri-
can people would not cavil at the form
it might take But all such legislation
is futile and it is simply a waste of
