JOURNALISM ON THE SOUND

Alden J. Blethen, formerly editor and
publisher Of the Minneapolis Tribune, is
the editor and publisher Of the Seattle
Times. Not the most cordial relations
exist. between the Times and the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, and people in Minne-
apolis who know Mr.. Blethen will recog-

following editorial from recent issue OF
the Seattle Times:

The cold LADY, who tries to edit John q,
Wilson's Cherry street organ (the Post-IntelsR
gencer) delivered herself of the following screed
recently:

repeatedly been refused admission as member
in leading social organization in this city,
and that he will always be refused, because the
members are decent, reputable and self-respect-

There isn't word Of truth in the statement.

When Mr.. Blethen learned what had been done
he promptly asked for a list Of the membership
Of the Rainier in order that he might know who

This demand was fulfilled even against the
protest Of some of the best members of the Rain

member of any club which tolerates old women,
imbeciles, cranks and crooks in its membership,
or gives to such people the freedom of the clubs

Here are the facts, and they are all susceptible
Of proof. How do they compare with the false

Was Stone Scared?

Melville Stones statement before
the Womens Federation at st. Louis
to the effect that the women are re-
sponsible for the low moral tone of
some modern newspapers, created a
great deal of surprise at the time and
has led to considerable controversy
since. One woman, in trying to ac-
count for the remarkable statement,
particularly remarkable under the
circumstances, has concluded that Mr..
Stone really intended to ask the aid
of the club women in elevating the
moral tone of the press, but when he
stood up to speak and saw that vast
sea of women's faces turned UP
towards him he got scared" and in his
confusion did not express himself as
he intended to.
Now the question is, was Mr.. Stone
scared? Mrs. Charles M. Pepper, the
wife OF a newspaper man, probably
expressed the approximate truth about
the matter when she exclaimed:
What, a man who has been in the
newspaper business in Chicago as long
hS NneiVllie oloHe mas, got scared!
guess not!'
Mr.. Stone will hardly get credit
among his acquaintances for having
manifested the weakness of fright. He
has only purposely said something in
such an enigmatical way as to excite
comment and call for translation,
Doubtless what Mr.. Stone meant was
that the women have it in their hands
to withhold their patronage from I'M

George H. Daniels was born in 1892,
in Hampshire, Ill. Until the begin
ming Of the civil war he was a farm
er's boy. Then he began his lifelong
connection with transportation affairs
as pilot upon a Mississippi river
steamboat.
Mr.. Daniels railroad career was be-
gun as a surveyor for new western
line, and, finally, after a number Of
changes, in 1889 went to the New
York Central as general passenger
agent.
The road did very little advertising
then. But in the thirteen intervening
years the appropriation has steadily
increased and the road has grown in
prestige until it is the best known
railroad system in all the world.
In advertising, Mr.. Daniels has done
several things that are distinctly
original. Who ever heard of a train
running under a trade mark before
the Empire State Express? To-day
that train is still one of the New York
Central's best ads.
The Four-Track News is another
great departure. 1t grew out Of ideas
that Frank N. Doubleday had for a
derfully successful. To-day it has
a growing circulation and is not only
a strong advertising force, but sue
cessful periodical in the business
sense, paying it's way from month to
month. The Four Track series is
distributed by the carload, and the
most conspicuously popular bit of lit
erature issued, "A Message to Gar
cia,," has been sent all over the world
to the extent of untold millions. Mr..
Daniels tries to make every bit Of adj
vertising valuable for itself. In fact,
the roads advertising is often sec
ondary to information given in book
let's or folders. He is also a devotee
to truth in advertising. Every map
must be accurate and every statement
verified and reverted. The New
York Central maps have so great a
name for fidelity that they are in de-
mand all over the country for use in
public schools. i
Mr.. Daniels Is president of the
Sphinx club, the great local adver-
Using organization Of New York, and
is also one of the board of directors Of
the International Federation Of ADJ
vertising Interests.

do there will be no such papers.
In this Mr.. Stone is right. The
newspaper which cannot go into the
home because it is not clean will ulti-
mately go to the auction block. It
may flourish for a time, but just to the
extent to which the women Of the
home are insistent upon cleanliness
and decency In their newspapers, the
unclean newspaper will be restricted
in its sphere, with ultimate failure as
its end.

A Perilous Success.

This is a crucial time for Joseph
Folk, the brave and aggressive st.
Louis prosecutor who is to be nomi-
mated for governor by the democrats
of Missouri Folk has arrived" be-
cause Of his vigorous campaign
against the boodlers, and this young
lawyer, so suddenly sprung into fame,
seems now to be master Of the polit-
ical situation. The Doodle disclosures
were dynamite for the old party ma
chine, which found itself helpless to
check the Folk movement, and his
nomination at Jefferson City July 10
seems as certain as Roosevelt's at
Chicago.
There Is nothing SO hard to bear
as success, and the friends Of all that
is honest and progressive in politics
are waiting anxiously to see whether
Folk will stand the test. Will he
keep his head level and hew to the
line, looking to the greater ends
rather than the temporary shifts Of
political expediency?
The machine he has routed is still
powerful to do him hurt, and expects
to tie his hands effectively when the
present popular furore has subsidized.
By compromise with it he might
avoid much trouble. Will he tenn
porize, or hunt all the bribe-takers
and bribe-givers to their lairs with
out quarter and cleanse the polluted
statehouse? Will he hold straight to
the path Of duty or play to the gal
leries once or twice and let the leech-
es have their way for the rest?
Already the idol-breakers are busy
with Folks name. They say that,
thru his manager, Congressman Van
diver, he has established a connec-
ton with the Burlington railroad in
fuence. They hint that he will join
forces in the campaign with the old
ring, and finally make peace with it
for their mutual advantage.
Many thousand voters, irrespective
Of party, are hoping that Folk will
prove his mettle. He is a victorious
general in the battle for purity In pol
itics, and his career is being watched
with solicitude. His task is one thai
rivals the cleaning Of the Augear
stables. He is a democrat, and must
| run on democratic ticket, and YET
| it is his duty to cut loose from the
| debasing influences that have domi.
mated his party, repudiate many of its
past acts and omissions and fight or
a new line. If he takes such a stand
he will live UP to the ideal we have
| conceived Of him. whether he win:
| or loses If he settles down content
ed in the midst Of the corrupt ring
| all that he has won will be lost, anG
another ideal shattered.
"Joe" Folk has never swerved from
his duty yet, and here IS hoping tina
he never will.

the signal that the last signature to the

Dr. Flint's disclosure is that left-hand-

per cent of US are left-handed, and Bis
per cent of the left-handed are criminals.
That at least, seems the reasonable infer
ence from DR.. Flint's statement that "64.4
per cent of the left handed are not to be
classed as criminals" DR.. Flint tells us
that out Of every hundred criminals nine-
teen are left handed and that out of
every hundred incendiaries twenty-eight

The Center of the Conflict.

The gubernatorial contest has mar
rowed down to Hennepin county.
From all appearances the man who
gets Hennepin county will get the
nomination.
Dunn's managers evidently appre-
ciate this and are expanding all their
energies here. The Collins manage
ment is very confident and prepared to
meet the work done for the ex-auditor
by equally effective opposition.
One thing should clearly be borne
in mind by the voters of the various
precincts, and that is to see to it that
the delegates whom they send to the
convention stand for the nomination
of the gubernatorial candidate whom
they individually favor. This Is the
only way to make sure of a fair ex-
preston Of the sentiment Of the
county in the county convention. The
majority of that convention will dom
mate the result absolutely. The dele
gates will be either all for Collins orall
for Dunn. The very force Of circum-
stances seems certain to make Henne-
pin county an influential If not decisive
factor in the state convention this
time. Hennepin county has been SO
badly split up in most state conven-
tons and so inharmonious as to cut
little figure in determining the action
of those assemblies. But that is not
likely to be the case in the approach
ing state convention. Hennepin's 113
