A Newspaper Fault.
From the Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall street Journal.
Holger Rosenberg. a leading editor OF
Denmark, who has been travelling In this
country, expresses his surprise at the "ap-
palling size" of American newspapers. ana
his admiration of the enterprise and YER
s1tility of the American reporter. But hs
makes this criticism:
There is a degree of chldishness In tho
treatment of news Columns and columns
of kilograms are printed from the war in
Manchuria. These tell but little to the ordi-
nary reader. If they were supplemented or
expressed by clear, analytical essays by
the editor it would think. be better"
We think that this Danish editor has put
his finger the weak spot In American
journalism. The general daily newspaper
sacrifices proportion to size. orderly presen-
tation of news to sensation. sober tudg-
ment to mere enterprise 1t seeks more to
entertain than to guide. Much of its news
confuses by it's volume and It's arrange
ment. A great deal Of II is unread and
Even the headlines, which should be In
skeleton editorials. In fact-have become
distorted and grotesque. Our newspapers.
without abandoning their enterprise for
news, should resume one of the functions
of journalism which they have largely lost,
namely, that of clear, strong. informing
editorial comment that shall make the
news Ineligible to busy men who have no
time to make that deep study of facts. az
they develop, that Is needed In order to ar
rive at accurate judgments.
